F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, facility record review, and a review of facility policies and procedures, the facility failed to ensure it provided a clean, comfortable and homelike environment in four (Rooms #7, #8, #12 and #16) of 30 sampled rooms.The findings include: 1.On 08/11/25 at 11:07 AM, room [ROOM NUMBER] was observed and the bottom portion of the window was missing and covered with a large piece of wood and duct tape. On 08/11/25 at 11:11 AM, room [ROOM NUMBER]'s wall was observed with missing drywall and chipped paint. On 08/11/25 at 11:15 AM, room [ROOM NUMBER] was observed with a wall unit air conditioner missing the control knob and a 3 foot by 2-foot area adjacent to the wall air conditioner unit covered with chipped and bubbling paint. The door frame adjacent to the bathroom door was observed with rotting wood and chipped paint. Several baseboards in the room were missing paint. On 08/14/25 at 9:35 AM, a second observation was made of room [ROOM NUMBER] and the bottom portion of window was missing and covered with a large piece of wood and duct tape. On 08/14/25 at 9:40 AM, a second observation was made of room [ROOM NUMBER]'s wall with missing drywall and chipped paint. On 08/14/25 at 9:48 AM, a second observation was made of room [ROOM NUMBER] with a wall unit air conditioner missing the control knob and a 3 foot by 2 foot area adjacent to the wall air conditioner unit covered with chipped and bubbling paint. The door frame adjacent to the bathroom door was observed with rotting wood and chipped paint. Several baseboards in the room were missing paint. A review of the previous three months of TELS (maintenance computer program) work orders revealed no documentation of work orders related to a broken window adjacent to a window air conditioner unit, bathroom door frames, baseboards or chipped paint in rooms. On 08/14/2025 at 1:25 PM, an interview was conducted with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) A who reported that she had worked in the facility for three months. If she noticed an environmental problem, such as a rotting door frame or chipped paint in a resident's room, she would go into the Relias system (computer program) and make a maintenance request. She would also make a verbal request with the Maintenance Director.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some On 08/14/2025 at 1:31 PM, an interview was conducted with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) B who reported she had worked at the facility for one year. She explained that if she noticed an environmental concern, such as a broken window with a wood board cover, she would call the Maintenance Director's cell phone and put a work order request in the TELS system, which went to the Maintenance Director's phone. On 08/14/25 at 2:13 PM, an interview was conducted with the Maintenance Director who reported he had worked in the facility since 11/4/25. He explained that there was no specific plan or calendar for the repair work in resident rooms. Every Friday he met with the Resident Experience Director, and they discussed which rooms repair work will be completed in. Repair work varied because some residents could not walk, and it would take longer to evacuate those rooms to make repairs and repaint the entire room. The Maintenance Director reported that he could paint an entire resident room in six hours. Sometimes other issues took priority, such as a burst pipe, and would interrupt renovation plans. He explained that he had been working on building renovations for the last seven months and had renovated 23 areas of the facility. The process to receive work orders for repair work included information received through angel rounds assigned to managers and conducted daily. Angel rounds included visually inspecting resident rooms and providing an angel rounds report issue identified during the daily morning meeting. He also received work order requests from staff through the TELS system. On 08/15/25 at 1:57 PM, the Maintenance Director verified the observations made in rooms #7, #8 and #12. A review of facility daily angel rounds conducted between 08/04/25 and 08/14/25 documented rooms #7, #8 and #12 were observed for areas including: floor free of holes or tears or stains and walls are in good repair (no unpainted areas or holes in the walls). Daily angel rounds conducted between 08/04/25 and 08/14/25 for rooms #7, #8 and #12 were checked as meeting angel round requirements. 2.On 8/12/25 at 11:06 AM, Resident #59 (room [ROOM NUMBER]) was awake and engaged with the surveyor. His bathroom was observed with no paper towels; the floor tile was heavily stained; tiles and grout were unattached from the wall above the sink; there was a leaking pipe under the sink that had a trash container catching water; there was water pooled at the threshold of bathroom door, and an unpleasant odor was detected. (Photographic evidence obtained) On 8/13/2025 at 10:44 AM, Resident #59's bathroom was observed with the floor tile heavily stained; tiles and grout were unattached from the wall above the sink; a leaking pipe under the sink had a trash container catching water; a piece of bed linen was on the floor, soaked and wet; water was pooled at the threshold of bathroom door, and an unpleasant odor was detected. (Photographic evidence obtained) On 8/14/2025 at 1:55 PM, an interview was conducted with Resident #59. He was asked if he could remember how long his bathroom floor had been flooding. He stated, It's been at least six days that it has been like that; it's about time somebody came to fix it. On 8/14/2025 at 2:25 PM, an interview was conducted with the Maintenance Director. He was asked about the condition of Resident #59's bathroom. He acknowledged that the sink pipes had been leaking on the floor. He explained that the leak occurred this week due to the resident sitting on the sink and causing the sink to detach from the wall. He was asked what the plan was for repair. He stated, I have a plumber in there now making repairs. He was asked what the plan was for other needed repairs around the facility. He stated, I don't have a written plan, the Resident Experience Director (RED), (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105665 If continuation sheet Page 2 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 105665 B.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Admissions and I get together every Friday and discuss which residents can be moved so that we can repair the walls and paint. We plan to change the color of the paint all over the building. We have been doing this for the last seven months and to date, 23 areas including resident rooms and the common area have been completed. It's difficult to plan ahead because moving residents involves several considerations. He was asked how other needed repairs were identified throughout the facility while they were doing these projects. He stated, We use Angel Rounds. Every day each manager has 2-3 rooms to check for any needed repairs, call light placement, privacy curtains and things like that. We can't repair anything unless it's entered in TELS. Even if we see it, it still has to be entered in TELS, and all the staff have access to TELS. He was asked how the Angel Rounds were documented. The Maintenance Director provided a form the facility used to document Angel Rounds. The documentation was requested for 8/7/25 through 8/14/25. The Angel rounds were provided and did not indicate any of the repairs needed that were identified in Resident #59's bathroom (room [ROOM NUMBER]). A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Maintenance (Effective Date: 11/30/2014), Document Name: M-200 revealed: Policy: The facility's physical plant and equipment will be maintained through a program of preventive maintenance and prompt action to identify areas/items in need of repair. Procedure: The Director of Environmental Services will follow all policies regarding routine periodic maintenance. The Director of Environmental Services will perform daily rounds of the building to ensure the plant is free of hazards and in proper physical condition. All employees will report physical plant areas or equipment in need of repair or service to their supervisor.

A review of the Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed the resident was receiving antidepressant, opioid, and anticonvulsant medication, and had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 4/15, indicating severe cognitive impairment. The care plan, focus and goals related to resident #43 included impaired cognitive function/dementia or impaired thought processes related to dementia and use of antidepressant medications. Interventions included administering medications as ordered, anticipate and meet Resident #43's needs, and monitor/document for side effects and effectiveness. On 7/11/2025 at 1:00 AM, an encounter progress note revealed that Resident #43 was doing well overall. She was receiving psych meds with a gradual dose reduction (GDR) considered. Based on history, the resident was not able to tolerate a GDR and would likely become unstable (exacerbation of underlying psychiatric disorders that are mentioned in the diagnosis section) if medications were reduced. Tapering down the medication would not achieve the desired therapeutic effect; therefore, the resident is on minimal effective dosages of psychotropic medications to maintain or improve the patient's function, well-being, safety, and quality of life. GDR is therefore contraindicated and so GDR was not performed. On 8/13/2025 at 2:45 PM, an interview was conducted with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) L and Registered Nurse (RN)/Infection Preventionist M. LPN L verified that Resident #4 was receiving Trazodone, Zoloft/Sertraline, Lasix, and Spironolactone. When asked, how did she document behavior monitoring for residents on antidepressants. She replied, observe behavior. She also stated there was no documentation on the TAR (treatment administration record) for resident behaviors and there was no documentation of monitoring for diuretic use. On 8/13/2025 at 3:06 PM, RN N, Interim Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that DON/ADON (assistant DON) was responsible for updating pharmacy medication regimen reviews. Pharmacy emailed reviews to the facility and the DON/ADON reviewed the recommendations. Pharmacy recommendations were delegated as appropriate. Medication changes were logged, and the sheets were placed in the binder. The DON/ADON followed up to ensure the tasks were completed, and the nursing staff added the orders in the computer for the residents to be monitored. On 8/13/2025 at 5:21 PM, LPN L was asked to verify Resident #43's documented behavior monitoring for Trazodone and Depakote. She confirmed that there was no documented monitoring for Trazodone and Depakote.

Based on a main nursing station refrigerator observation, facility documentation, staff interviews, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to follow proper sanitation and food handling practices to prevent the outbreak of foodborne illness, with the potential to affect more than a limited number of residents who consumed foods from the facility, by failing to properly monitor and log temperatures of the main nursing station refrigerator. Unsafe food handling practices represent a potential source of pathogen exposure.The findings include: A follow-up tour was conducted on 08/13/2025 at 11:05 AM. During the tour, it was observed that temperatures were not accurately monitored for the refrigerator at the main nursing station where resident supplements were stored. Temperature documentation was missing for August 2025. (Photographic evidence obtained) An interview was conducted on 08/13/2025 at 12:17 PM with Registered Nurse (RN)/Infection Preventionist M. When asked who was responsible for checking and logging temperatures for the main nursing station refrigerator, she stated nursing was responsible for logging those temperatures. An interview was conducted on 08/14/2025 at 10:33 AM with Cook/Aide I who stated the process for providing snacks and supplements to residents was to transport snacks on the cart to the dining room. Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and nurses passed snacks from the cart to residents in the dining room and resident rooms. Med pass supplements and applesauce were maintained in the refrigerator at the main nursing station. When asked who was responsible for logging temperatures for the nourishment refrigerator at the main nursing station, Cook/Aide I replied, the CDM (certified dietary manager). An interview conducted on 08/14/2025 at 10:40 AM with [NAME] J revealed that snack carts were provided to residents twice a day; at 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, interviews, and policy and procedure review, the facility failed to ensure staff followed the facility's infection prevention and control program (IPCP) and adhered to isolation precautions for one (Resident #8) of six residents who were positive for COVID-19, by entering the resident's room without donning the required personal protective equipment (PPE) and transporting the resident without a mask to a common area, exposing other residents to COVID-19. The findings include: Residents Affected - Few On 08/11/25 at 1:00 PM, upon entry to the facility, staff notified the survey team of an outbreak of COVID-19 with six of a census of 59 residents positive for COVID-19. On 08/11/25 at 2:08 PM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) C was observed exiting Resident #8's room wearing only a surgical mask. Resident #8's door had droplet precaution signage and a fully stocked personal protective equipment (PPE) cart in the hallway adjacent to the door. CNA C reported that she had worked as a CNA at the facility since January of 2025. When she was asked what the facility's policy was for entering a room under droplet precautions, she replied that Resident #8 had COVID-19, and she entered the room to help Resident #8 turn on a movie on his phone. She admitted she should have worn full PPE, which consisted of a gown, an N95 mask, and gloves. On 08/11/25 at 3:30 PM, CNA D was observed transferring Resident #8 in a Geri chair (mobile recliner) from his room to the common dining/activities room. The resident was not wearing a mask. On 08/11/25 at 3:42 PM, Resident #8 was observed in the common dining/activities room not wearing a mask. Eight residents in the dining/activities room were within close proximity to Resident #8. On 08/11/25 at 3:43 PM, Resident #8 was interviewed while in the dining/activities room and stated he knew that he should be wearing a mask. He asked for a mask. A surgical mask obtained from the nursing station was provided to the resident. On 08/11/25 at 4:15 PM, CNA D was interviewed and reported that she had worked at the facility since May 2025. She explained that Resident #8 was diagnosed with COVID-19 about seven days ago. She stated she did not place a mask on Resident #8 while transferring him through the facility to the main dining/activities room because he did not like wearing a mask. She further explained that she transferred Resident #8 to the main dining/activities area because he was at risk for falls and having him nearby would allow the staff to keep a close eye on him. On 08/11/25 at 4:26 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) E was interviewed and reported she had worked at the facility since September of 2024. She explained that the facility's policy for residents diagnosed with COVID-19 should immediately be placed on isolation and droplet precautions should be initiated for the COVID-19-positive resident's room. Isolation for a positive COVID-19 resident was 10 days. She was not sure if the facility's policy noted whether or not a COVID-19-positive resident could leave their room during that time. On 08/11/25 at 4:40 PM, an interview was conducted with the facility's Infection Preventionist (IP)/Registered Nurse (RN). She explained that positive COVID-19 residents must be quarantined in their rooms for 10 days and were not permitted to leave their rooms during that time unless it was medically necessary. If that was the case, they were to wear a mask when outside of their rooms. She said Resident #8 was positive for COVID-19.

F 0880 dining/activities room without a mask. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm On 08/11/25 at 4:45 PM, the IP/RN reported that she informed staff assigned to Resident #8 that the resident could not remain in the dining/activities room without wearing a mask and should be taken back to his room. She further explained that she instructed staff assigned to Resident #8 that because he was at risk for falls, he must be provided 1:1 (one-on-one) supervision while in his room. Residents Affected - Few On 08/12/25 at 10:27 AM, the IP/RN stated staff entering rooms of residents who were positive for COVID-19 should perform hand hygiene and must don personal protective equipment (PPE), including an N95 mask, gown, eye protection and gloves prior to entering the room. Normally, residents on droplet precautions had a trash bag in the room or directly outside of the room for staff to dispose of used PPE. The facility was following CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) and the local Health Department's recommendations for isolation of COVID-19-positive residents for 10 days. On 08/14/25 at 3:40 PM, an interview was conducted with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), who was acting as the interim Director of Nursing (DON). She reported that she had worked for the facility since 07/15/25. She explained that when residents were placed on contact precautions, staff must wear a gown, N95 mask and gloves when entering the resident's room. She further explained that residents diagnosed with COVID-19 must be on isolation precautions for 10 days and should not leave their rooms unless medically necessary. If they had to leave their rooms, a mask, preferably an N95 mask, was to be worn. A review of the facility's policy titled COVID-19-Resident (effective 05/15/23) revealed: Policy: The Center will follow current guidance for managing COVID-19 . Procedure: 4.
