F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 4) A medication pass observation with a random resident, who asked to remain confidential, was made on 03/27/24. Upon entering the room, the surveyor introduced herself and explained she was observing the nurse. The resident stated, The nurses are great, but you need to check up on the CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants). On 03/27/24 in the afternoon, when asked what was meant by check up on the CNAs, the random resident stated, Some are great, but some have such attitudes. They don't care. I treat them with respect and expect the same from them, but don't always get it. The resident stated, Some act as if they don't want to be here. I know it's a tough job, but it is their job. And they don't let us know they are the CNA for the shift. The resident explained that the nurses come around at the beginning of each shift and let them know they will be the nurse for the shift. Review of the record revealed the resident was cognitively intact, as per a recent Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, on a 0 to 15 scale. 5) During an interview on 03/25/24 at 12:19 PM, Resident #159 voiced the staff speak to each other in another language, in front of her, which makes her feel as if she is not there. The resident voiced the CNAs have talked about her outside of the room and have not been kind. During a supplemental interview on 03/27/24 at 3:28 PM, Resident #159 was visiting with her family.

Resident #159 also stated that she had had today's nurse several times, and today was the first time that she introduced herself, referring to earlier in the day when the surveyor had done a medication pass with Staff L, Registered Nurse (RN). The resident and family stated the staff don't care, don't make eye contact, and are rude. During an interview on 03/28/24 at 12:07 PM, accompanied by the Risk Manager, Resident #159 and her family vented for about 15 to 20 minutes about the attitudes of the staff. The family voiced that staff were complaining about being short-staffed and overworked. They stated staff won't help with her colostomy bag. They described how last evening they had asked an RN three times for assistance, as the colostomy bag had become loose and was leaking. The family described how the RN told them three times he would get to it, yet he was seen at the nurse's station laughing with staff and playing on his cell phone, not helping them. The son stated he finally just got a new colostomy bag, and they assisted his mother and to change the bag. Both the resident and the son again stated that staff said they are a pain . and they are not going to help her again, referring to assisting her up in the bed.

When asked what was going on with his request to shave, Resident #161 stated the staff told him he had to wait. Resident #161 then volunteered, The girls (referring to the CNAs) are just rude. I put on the call bell, and they don't answer. I have to call out for them, and they just walk by my door and ignore me. I had to get the maintenance guy to hand me my phone. The resident explained that his phone had been on the bedside nightstand, behind him and out of reach. Review of the record revealed Resident #161 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Multiple skilled services nursing notes documented Resident #161 was alert with no memory issues. Resident #161 was observed to be obese with bilateral lower extremity edema (swelling) and needed assistance with activities of daily living.

On 03/27/24 at 12:30 PM, an additional interview was conducted with Resident #25 and Resident #212. Resident #25 stated that he did not appreciate the way the aides had treated his wife during her shower that morning. When interviewed on 03/27/24 at 12:35 PM, Resident #212 stated, When giving me a shower this morning, the aide didn't wait for the water to get warm. She just poured water over my head and sprayed me in the face without any warning; she wasn't very considerate. The wife also added, When something is said to them [the aides] they get nasty. They also roll their eyes at us whenever they are asked (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105555 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 27 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 105555 B.

F 0550 to do anything for us. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 2) On 03/25/24 at 10:40 AM, a Resident who wanted to remain anonymous stated, The nurses have been great, and half of the aides are very good, but the other half do not want to provide assistance. I am at the end of the hall, and some of the aides act like those of us down here at the end are not part of the facility; they mostly ignore us. It would be nice to be treated like everyone else instead of like an inconvenience. I have fallen a couple of times because I try to do things on my own. Residents Affected - Some 3) On 03/25/24 at 10:28 AM, Resident #50, who has a BIMS score of 8 (moderate cognitive impairment), stated during her initial interview, Some of the staff are very good, but some of them are very bossy. They like to order me around. This morning, I told them that I didn't want to eat because I wasn't hungry, and the aide kept telling me I had to eat. Sometimes, I just don't feel hungry, and I don't want to eat, but she told me I had to eat. I try to do what they say because I don't want to make them mad. 7) Resident #73 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. According to the resident's most recent full assessment, an Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documented Resident #73 had a BIMS score of 06, indicating that the resident was severely cognitively impaired.

During an observation of lunch served to the residents in their rooms on the 300 unit, on 03/25/24 at 12:58 PM, Staff C, CNA, was observed removing a tray from Resident #73. At that time, another staff member asked Staff C why the tray was being removed from the resident's room. Staff C replied, he is a feeder. When the surveyor asked about the meal being removed from the resident, Staff C again replied, he is a feeder. During an observation of breakfast served to the residents in their rooms on the 300 unit, on 03/26/24 at 8:35 AM, Staff D (CNA), was observed standing at Resident #73's right side of bed to feed resident.

F 0561 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through support of resident choice. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to honor preferences for 3 of 8 sampled residents (Resident #159, #161 and #74). The facility failed to respond to a verbal request for side rails to assist with bed mobility for Resident #159. Shower preferences and schedules were not followed for Resident #161 and #74. The findings included: 1) During an interview on 03/25/24 at 12:19 PM, Resident #159 stated she had been asking for a bed side rail since she was admitted to the facility. The resident stated she wanted it to assist her with turning in bed and that she had been asking everyone for it. Observation of the bed at that time lacked any type of side rail or mobility device. During a supplemental interview on 03/27/24 at 3:28 PM with the resident and her family, they all confirmed the resident had been asking for a bed side rail since day one. Review of the record revealed Resident #159 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the Admission/readmission Evaluation dated 03/22/24 documented Resident #159 was alert and oriented to person, place, and time, with no memory issues and no behavioral issues. Further review of this admission evaluation simply documented the resident was able to move in bed with or without side rails. During an interview on 03/27/24 at 3:14 PM, when asked the process should a resident want a bed side rail installed, the Maintenance Director stated the nurse has to do an evaluation, and then the request would need to be put into TELS (the electronic system for entering maintenance requests). When asked about Resident #159, the Maintenance Director stated, She wants one? When told she had been asking staff for a bed side rail since her admission on [DATE], the Maintenance Director stated he would check his maintenance requests. The Director later stated he did not have a request for Resident #159. Both Staff L, Registered Nurse (RN), who had worked with Resident #159 for several days, and Staff P, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), during separate interviews on 03/27/24 around 3:20 PM, denied any knowledge of the resident's request for side rails. During an interview on 03/28/24 at 12:07 PM, the family of Resident #159 asked the Risk Manager why it took the surveyor's intervention to get the side rails for his mother. 2) During an interview on 03/25/24 at 10:01 AM, upon introduction, Resident #161 stated, I've been asking for a shower since 6 AM. Upon further questioning, Resident #161 explained he was admitted on Friday (03/22/24) and he had also been asking for a shower all weekend. During a supplemental interview on 03/25/24 at 2:41 PM, Resident #161 was still dressed in his hospital gown and stated he hadn't had a shower yet. Resident #161 stated, First they said after breakfast, then they said after lunch, and it's now almost 3 PM. Review of the record revealed Resident #161 was admitted to the facility on Friday, 03/22/24, was alert, and had no memory issues.

Resident #74 stated, the CNA on that shift doesn't like me, he only brings me water every once in a while. I go in there with my soap and washcloth and wash in the sink. I would prefer to have a shower, but I am not allowed to without someone with me. I know I have to go in their range between breakfast lunch and dinner. At home, I used to take a shower before bed every night. During an interview, on 03/28/24 at 12:01 PM with the MDS Coordinator, when asked about residents being assessed for preferences, the MDS Coordinator replied, therapy sets the ADL tasks. Nursing assesses the residents for preferences on admission.

F 0565 Honor the resident's right to organize and participate in resident/family groups in the facility. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on record review and interviews, the facility failed to consider the views of the resident council group and act promptly upon the grievances and recommendations of the group concerning issues of resident care and life in the facility for 9 of 9 sampled residents interviewed during the Resident Council meeting (Resident #47, #45, #8, #10, #58, #63, #33, #70, and #7). This failure has the potential to affect all residents in the facility, as the resident council represents all residents. Residents Affected - Some The findings included: On 03/27/24 at 11:01 AM, interviews were conducted with 9 active, alert and oriented members of the Resident Council (Resident # 47, #45, #8, #10, #58, #63, #33, #70, and #7). The 9 resident council members were asked about the facility's response to grievances voiced by members of the Resident Council during their monthly meetings. All of the resident council members agreed that several grievances were voiced during the monthly Resident Council meetings, but none of these grievances had been resolved by the facility's administration. Three of the council members who wished to remain anonymous stated that when they have tried to bring up concerns to Administration, they were told, If you don't like it, you can find another place to live. Residents #58, #45 and #63 stated they were tired of voicing their concerns because none of the concerns ever got resolved. None of the 9 members of the council could recall a time when staff had responded to their concerns, explaining how their concerns were being addressed and/or resolved. Per interview with the 9 Resident Council members listed above, some of the grievances voiced during monthly resident council meetings that had not yet been addressed/resolved were: 1) Chairs needed for showers - The council members stated there used to be a chair for over-the-toilet and a chair placed in the shower for those needing to sit during showers. Resident #58 stated, Now there is only one chair that has to be moved back and forth from toilet to shower, and it usually requires for us, the resident to move it. This isn't safe. The administrator was informed of this issue about 2 months ago, and nothing has been done. 2) Cold food - All of the 9 council members interviewed complained that the food carts brought to the units will sit in the hallways for 1/2 an hour before staff will pass the trays, and by the time the residents get the food, the food is cold. 3) More food variety - Each of the council members interviewed wanted more food variety on the menu, including fresh fruits and vegetables. Resident #45 stated, We have asked for fresh fruits and vegetables, but we are still getting canned fruits and vegetables. 4) Laundry bags - Resident #58 stated that they used to have laundry bags provided which had their name and room number on them; however, these bags have been taken away. Now they have plastic bags with nothing written on them. I have brought up this concern several times, but nothing has been done. How do they know which laundry bag belongs to who? This is how clothes go missing. A review of the Resident Council Minutes from October - March 2024 did not reveal all of the concerns voiced by the 9 members of Resident Council on 03/27/24. When these members were asked why their concerns were not recorded in the resident council minutes, the resident council members stated they did not have an answer as to why. Resident #58 stated, I don't know why they aren't in the minutes, but I know I have went directly to the Administrator and voiced the concerns about the chairs and (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105555 If continuation sheet Page 8 of 27 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 105555 B.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A review of the Grievance Log from October 2023 - March 2024 noted only 1 grievance documented for Resident Council in November of 2023. This grievance was related to food concerns, and it was documented that the concern was resolved on 11/17/23. Residents Affected - Some Another grievance regarding menu and food quality was filed on 12/13/23 by Resident #58, one of the Resident Council members. The Grievance Log documented that the food grievance was resolved on 12/14/23. Resident #58 stated that the food issues mentioned in the grievances have not been resolved, and the other 9 council members agreed.
