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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop an individualized care plan with interventions to address the resident's preference and needs for administration of oxygen for a resident who smokes, for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for respiratory care, of a total sample of 45 residents, (#40).Findings: Resident #40 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), tachycardia (fast heartbeat), and mood disorder. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Det, (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], revealed the resident was assessed to be cognitively intact. On 8/11/25 at 10:54 AM, resident #40 was sitting in bed wearing a nasal cannula connected to an oxygen concentrator set to deliver oxygen at 5 liters per minute (LPM). Resident# 40 explained he liked to go out to smoke and felt he was comfortable without oxygen during that time. He continued that he had been on 5 LPM of oxygen for a few weeks, but explained he needed it more when he exerted himself. On 8/11/25 at 1:30 PM, resident #40 was sitting comfortably outside on the smoking patio, not wearing his oxygen while he smoked. The next day, on 8/12/25 at 1:54 PM, resident #40 was in his wheelchair comfortably wheeling down the 200 Hallway without oxygen. He was at ease and not in any distress without the oxygen. Review of the medical record revealed physician's orders for resident #40's oxygen was for 3 LPM, continuously via nasal cannula. Resident #40 had a care plan for smoking dated 4/23/25 that included, the resident was assessed as able to smoke with supervision, resident/responsible party informed of the facility smoking policy. Further review revealed no care plan focus or interventions related to resident #40's use of oxygen including his preference to not use oxygen so he could go outside to smoke, nor a care plan for any behaviors for rejection of care or non-compliance. On 8/14/2025 at 10:22 AM, assigned Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) J verified resident #40's oxygen concentrator was set at 5 LPM. LPN J confirmed the resident's order was always for 5 LPM of oxygen since admission but said he adjusted the flow rate himself. The nurse explained to the resident that the physician's order was for 3 LPM, not 5 LPM and that the facility would have to inform the physician if they desired to change the order. She conveyed she was aware the resident went outside to smoke without the use of oxygen; therefore, he did not use the oxygen continuously as it was ordered by the physician. In interviews on 8/14/25 at 10:30 AM, and on 8/14/25 at 12:49 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) in regard to resident #40's oxygen usage said that the resident often adjusted the amount by himself therefore he was noncompliant with the oxygen order. She was unable to show documentation of the noncompliance in the medical record. The DON explained the staff who was responsible to update care plans was no longer here, but that everyone helps with them. She said the expectation was for nurses to assess resident #40 and update the care plan as needed. The DON acknowledged resident #40's care plan was not personalized regarding his preference to smoke and not use oxygen as the physician had ordered it. The Facility's Policy on Comprehensive Assessments and Care Plans dated 4/01/22 indicated the standard of the facility (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 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to provide the necessary assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADL) for one of three residents reviewed for ADL care, of a total sample of 45 residents, (#75). This failure resulted in resident #75 not receiving timely and adequate support for personal grooming and hygiene, which could contribute to a decline in the resident's physical and psychosocial well-being. Findings: On 8/11/25 at 11:40 AM, resident #75 was awake, lying in his bed. His fingernails on both hands were elongated with brown debris visible under the nails. The resident stated he spoke Creole. He was able to answer yes/no questions appropriately, and able to gesture. Resident #75 indicated he preferred to keep his fingernails long by shaking his head to gesture no and showing his elongated fingernails. On 8/12/25 at 9:25 AM, resident #75's fingernails on both hands continued to be elongated with brown debris visible under the fingernails. The resident permitted photos to be taken of his fingernails. (Photographic evidence obtained) On 8/13/25 at 1:00 PM, resident #75 was in bed, and awake. The fingernails on both hands were elongated with visible brown debris under the nails. On 8/14/25 at 10:00 AM, resident #75 was awake and in bed. His fingernails on both hands remained elongated with brown debris visible under the nails. On 8/14/25 at 10:05 AM, Certified Nurse's Assistant (CNA) B, stated activities personnel provided fingernail care including cleaning and trimming for residents. She conveyed all CNAs including herself could provide fingernail care to residents. CNA B confirmed she was assigned to resident #75 that day but had not ever provided fingernail care to the resident. She said she used assistance from other staff to communicate with the resident in his preferred language (Creole). The CNA explained she provided fingernail care weekly. At that time CNA D entered the resident's room and asked the resident if he'd like to have his fingernails cleaned and trimmed in his preferred language. CNA D stated the resident replied, Yes, I am here for you to help me. I cannot do that myself. On 8/14/25 at 10:15 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C, confirmed she was assigned to care for resident #75 today. She stated the CNAs provided fingernail care including cleaning and trimming to residents, unless they were diabetic then a podiatrist would do it. She denied the podiatrist trimmed residents' fingernails and explained the nurses trimmed the fingernails for diabetic residents. LPN C stated a schedule for when the care would be provided was kept in the chart, but explained if the nails were long or dirty, staff should just provide the care, regardless of the schedule. Review of resident #75's medical record revealed her diagnoses included diabetes mellitus type 2, Alzheimer's Disease, and seizures. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE], revealed moderately impaired cognitive function, and no behavioral symptoms present including refusals of care. Review of resident #75's progress notes from 7/22/25 thru 8/14/25 did not reveal any notations of refusal of care of any type. Review of the person-centered care plan initiated 1/30/19 and revised 2/28/22, for resident #75 revealed a focus for risk for self-care deficit in ADLs related to need for assistance with daily care. The care plan indicated resident #75 required some assistance with dressing and bathing due to weakness and cognition and impaired communication (Creole speaking) and he was at risk for decline in functional status. The care plan interventions detailed the resident required assistance of one staff with dressing, hygiene and bathing. On 8/14/25 at 10:52 AM, the Administrator stated the expectation was for fingernails to be cleaned and trimmed per the resident's preference, with care provided by direct care CNAs and Activities staff. The Administrator explained each resident was assessed at admission to determine if they need assistance with the task, and whether the resident allowed it. She expressed staff should try to reapproach at a different time, or with different staff, if a Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105431 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 10 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 105431 B.

She stated regular reordering of medications and audits were the actions initiated following that investigation. She was unable to say why residents missed multiple medication doses due to the drugs not being available, but confirmed she never verified the nurses were reordering and auditing as planned. The DON stated the expectation for staff when a medication was unavailable was to check the emergency medication kit, call the pharmacy and call the physician to ask for a hold order for the medication or an alternative. The facility's policy entitled Medication Administration dated 4/01/22 indicated that medications should be administered in a timely manner and in accordance with the physician's orders. If medications are unavailable at the time of medication administration, the nurse should check the Emergency Drug Kit (EDK) system for availability. If the medication is not available the nurse should notify the physician for new orders and contact the pharmacy, as needed.

A review of the medical record progress notes and documents written by the Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) revealed the following excerpts: On 6/21/25 and 7/19/25, the APRN documented, NO acute issues. Per resident, he went to have a bone scan last month and was told by ID [infectious disease] doctor that, everything looks good for Echo/transplant f/u [follow up] on 7/31/25. On 8/12/25 the APRN wrote, Wound care rendered by nurse, r/o [rule out] cellulitis/infection. I called the transplant center to schedule a follow up appointment. Apparently, he had missed 3 f/u visits due to dates not entered to PCC. I left a message to the answering service, Awaiting return call. On 8/13/25 at 3:31 PM, in a joint interview with the Social Worker (SW) and Director of Nursing (DON) they explained the team including the UMs, and Staffing and Transportation Coordinator had an app (application) they used to coordinate the facility's van and arrange transportation. This app was used to manage arrangements to transport residents to and from doctor's appointments or for any other transport within the community. The SW and DON described that residents who relied solely on their insurance for transportation, still had access to the facility's van because sometimes those services were unreliable. The DON and SW acknowledged resident #97 had missed some appointments with his physician at his heart transplant center as well as an echocardiogram appointment that was cancelled because no transportation was arranged. The DON explained she believed the resident had an outside coordinator to arrange transportation; however, she acknowledged the UM, and nurses were responsible for following up to ensure the arrangements were made. The DON stated they dropped the ball on this one. The DON was unsure if resident #97's echocardiogram was ever rescheduled.

F 0778 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete in a joint interview with the SW and the Transportation Coordinator, the Transportation Coordinator explained she would get the appointment paperwork from nurses or on the resident's return from an appointment. She would then place it in the transport book, and the nurses would log the appointment in the computer. She said she would call the physician's offices and make appointments for residents who were unable to. The Transportation Coordinator described that for residents who made their own appointments but did not have transportation the facility would set transportation up through her. She explained for resident #97, she believed he made his own appointments, and the facility had never taken him anywhere. The SW said that even though the resident made the appointments himself, he communicated to nurse, and the nurse would have to put the appointment into the computer. The SW was unable to find any information that the missed echocardiogram was rescheduled. On 8/13/25 at 4:22 PM, the B Wing UM acknowledged she was aware resident #97 missed his appointments for heart transplant follow up and of the echocardiogram cancellation because transportation was not arranged. The UM stated, he mentioned missing appointments due to transportation and that the transplant center sent him a message that he missed an appointment. She continued to explain that she tried to get in touch with the transplant scheduler but had not rescheduled yet at that time. The UM said the facility's process was to put the appointment in the computer and acknowledged she never followed up with rescheduling the missed appointment after the note written on 6/11/25. On 8/13/2025 at 4:57 PM, resident #97 clarified the only time he went out for an appointment was for a scan on 5/21/25, but not with the heart transplant center nor for the echocardiogram. He continued to explain that at the end of April or May it was the facility's fault he missed his appointment. Resident #97 said he did not arrange transportation to the appointments himself, instead the facility was supposed to arrange them. He explained he got a paper with the information and gave it to facility staff, and they made the arrangements. Resident #97 said the only time he called to reschedule an appointment was the time the nurse could not do it. He said he was able to reschedule the appointment, so he wrote the information on a piece of paper and gave it to the nurse, who told him she would put it in the system, but she never did. The resident recalled he spoke to the SW about his frustration but did not hear anything back from the facility regarding his concerns. Review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for May, June, July and August 2025 revealed no appointments were scheduled except on 5/06/25 for the unrelated scan and follow-up appointments for the scan which took place on 5/12/25 and 5/21/25. The TAR was reviewed for June, July and August 2025 which showed no scheduled appointments for the heart transplant center nor for the echocardiogram. On 8/13/25 at 5:13 PM, the SW confirmed the resident previously reached out to her about his frustrations on 6/15/25 and that he was waiting on the B Wing UM to reschedule the appointment. On 8/14/25 at 11:27 AM, the APRN stated that on 7/31/25 someone called the facility and told them to cancel resident #97's appointment, but she confirmed this was not documented anywhere. She continued to explain she wrote the note on 8/11/25 because the resident told her he missed all of his appointments which is why she felt she had to reach out to the transplant center herself to make the appointment. The APRN confirmed nurses were not entering the appointments into the computer which contributed to resident #97 missing his appointments. On 8/14/25 at 12:44 PM, the DON said there was a breakdown in communication when staff did not enter the dates of appointments as given by the resident. She confirmed staff should have kept calling the transplant center and followed up on rescheduling resident #97's appointments. The Regional Nurse Consultant stated the facility had a Transportation Policy (which was not provided) but explained the policy did not have anything that spoke specifically to scheduling appointments.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete 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 facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure proper handling and food safety practices when staff failed to sanitize a food thermometer between checking food items, and ice bath calibration. The deficient practice had the potential to affect all residents who received a regular or puree diet by increasing the risk of cross-contamination and foodborne illness. Findings: On 8/13/25 at 11:10 AM, kitchen preparation for the lunch service began with cook G and Dietitian F present. At 11:37 AM, cook G used a food thermometer to check food temperatures of the prepared foods held on the steam table line prior to plating the food for service. The cook did not sanitize the food thermometer prior to placing the tip of the thermometer inside the pureed garlic bread, the regular garlic bread, and then the ziti bake. The cook said she cleans the thermometer between each food items. She acknowledged she did not sanitize the thermometer prior to checking the food items, nor had she cleaned it between the food items. The cook explained it was her practice to clean the thermometer between food items but said, We run out of them [the alcohol wipes] so fast, I'm constantly using them. On 8/13/25 at 11:47 AM, Dietitian F explained the process for checking the temperature of foods on the steam table. She stated, All foods are checked for their temperature before service is started. They are supposed to clean the thermometer with a sanitizing wipe in between each food item, that's the proper way. The Dietitian acknowledged she did not notice when cook G did not sanitize the thermometer between the food items in preparation for the lunch service. On 8/13/2025 at 11:50 AM, Kitchen Supervisor E explained the facility process for checking the temperature of foods on the steam table. She confirmed staff should check each food item, record the reading of the thermometer, and then clean the thermometer with an alcohol wipe between each food item.On 8/13/25 at 5:00 PM, in the kitchen, preparation for the dinner service commenced. Kitchen Supervisor E checked the temperature of a tray of turkey ranch wraps (a cold sandwich item) with a food thermometer. She then calibrated the food thermometer in an ice bath but did not sanitize the thermometer between checking the temperature of the wraps and inserting the thermometer in the ice bath. Kitchen Supervisor E proceeded to use the same un-sanitized thermometer to check the puree turkey wrap (a hot item) temperature without sanitizing the thermometer. On 8/13/25 at 5:15 PM, Kitchen Supervisor E acknowledged she had not sanitized the thermometer between checking the temperature of the cold turkey ranch wrap and the ice bath calibration, then again between the ice bath and checking the temperature of the (hot) puree turkey wrap. Kitchen Supervisor E stated, Oh I thought I did, and acknowledged she did not sanitize the thermometer between the food items and the ice bath calibration. Review of the facility policy, Final Cooking Temperatures, revised 10/01/23, revealed food was to be cooked to specific temperatures and times to mitigate the presence of dangerous microorganisms. The policy continued that food thermometers used to check food temperatures should be clean, sanitized, and calibrated for accuracy. Event ID: Facility ID: 105431 If continuation sheet Page 10 of 10
