Council.
During the Resident Council (RC) meeting on 1/7/2026 at 1:26 p.m. The RC members said they are not
sure who the Grievance Official. The Grievance Official changes frequently, and they are not informed when
the changes occur. The RC members said the staff never discuss the rationale behind unresolved issues,
but We [the facility] will look into it is the answer received without resolution.
On 1/7/26 at 5:12 p.m., an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) was conducted. The NHA
said the activities director had no documentation of the resident council minutes. The NHA said the
expectation is the activities director should document what occurred in the resident council meetings on the
minutes form.
On 1/08/26 at 10:15 a.m., an interview with the Activities Director (AD) was conducted. The AD stated not
having a resident come up to her to file a grievance outside of resident council. The AD stated there was
one instance when a resident was missing money and investigated the issue herself. The AD stated not
filing a grievance. The AD said she knows now a grievance should have been filed and grievances should

when a grievance is received, it is logged, then given to the specific department to take care of it. The SSD
said the grievance should have resolution within 72 hours, if possible. The SSD said she does not
participate in resident council meetings and concerns from resident council have not been communicated
to her. The SSD stated if a grievance is brought to the attention of any staff or the Activities Director during
resident council, her expectation is those concerns would be brought to her attention and/or a grievance
written. The SSD stated the NHA has not told her about any grievances discussed during resident council.
On 01/08/26 at 3:15 p.m., an interview was conducted with the NHA. The NHA stated the grievance
process, if initiated during the resident council meetings, would be initiated by a staff member if they are
present during the meeting. If a staff member is not present, then the resident would initiate the grievance
themselves or with any employee. The NHA stated the grievance form is then turned over to the SSD or
NHA, for logging and completion. The department responsible for the area of concern

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to implement its grievance process. The facility did
not ensure resident's grievances from Resident Council were received, investigated, and a resolution
provided or discussed for six of six months of resident council meeting minutes reviewed. Findings
Included:
Resident #9 said the residents are not sure who the Grievance Official is currently. The Grievance Official
changes, and they must look at the paper on one of the office doors to find out the current person. The staff
never discuss the rationale behind unresolved issues. We will look into it is the answer the residents receive
all the time without any resolution.
On 1/7/26 at 5:12 p.m., an interview with the NHA was conducted. She said the activities director had no
documentation of the resident council minutes. She said the expectation is the activities director should
document what occurred in the resident council meetings on the minutes. She then said the activities
director has some notes and would provide copies of what documentation was completed.
On 1/08/26 at 10:15am., an interview with the Activities Director was conducted. She stated she has not

then is handled by the Social Services Director. The form is then signed, received, and transferred to the
appropriate area of concern. The area of concern handles the problem, and writes on the grievance form
the resolution. He stated once the grievance is resolved, it goes back to the Social Services Director to be

the facility currently does not have a designated individual to screen, determine accuracy, update and/or
refer PASSRs for Level I or Level II. The DON stated Resident #7 does not have behavior issues. A review
of the facility's policy titled, PASSR-Requirements for Completion Pre-admission Screening & Resident
Review (PASSR), effective August 2025, showed the following policy statement: Preadmission screening
will be conducted prior to admission as the PASRR process is a federally mandated pre admission
screening program (see 42 CFR 483.100) required to be performed on all individuals prior to admission to
a nursing home. The screening is revised by admissions for suspicion of serious mental illness and
intellectual disability to ensure appropriate placement in the least restrictive environment and to identify the
need to provide applicants with needed specialized services. PASRR screening applies to all new
admissions into a Medicaid certified nursing facility and includes private pay, Medicare, and Medicaid
admissions regardless of payer source.

resident's care plan if needed. The CRD said Resident #23 had a care plan meeting yesterday where the
resident told her she smoked. The CRD confirmed prior to 1/7/26, she did not know Resident #23 smoked.
She confirmed the admission evaluation did not identify Resident #23 as a smoker. The CRD said the
smoking consent and evaluation/assessment does not drive the care plan, but if it was discussed in the IDT
meeting she would have acquired the information that way. She stated, It's probably something we need to
look into, regarding adding information to the care plan that she is not aware of. She said whoever had the
information about Resident #23 being a smoker could have added that to the care plan.
On 1/8/26 at 12:41 p.m., an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) was conducted. The DON said the
staff member who is assigned to supervise the designated smoke time takes hydration and the smoke
cart/box, which contains the resident's items, out to the patio. The DON said the staff member is supposed
to provide an apron and/or assistive device to the residents that need those items. She said the staff
member also passed cigarettes from the residents' cartons with their names on them. The DON said
residents cannot have their lighters and should not have their cigarettes on them. She stated, They should
go into the smoke box. She said staff should be confiscating their smoking materials if they are aware the
resident had them. The DON said if the resident does not want to comply, then staff should make someone
aware on the administrative team. She confirmed all residents are asked upon admission if they smoke. The
DON said Resident #23 initially said she did not smoke and was using a nicotine patch. She confirmed
Resident #23 signed a smoking consent on 12/20/25 that showed she smokes. The DON said she did not
have an answer as to why a smoking care plan was not completed.
A review of the facility's policy titled Care Plan - Interdisciplinary Plan of Care from Interim to Meeting,

recommended ongoing preventative routine debridement of devitalized or contaminated tissue. They
recommended debridement to relieve the pressure from the necrotic presence on the nail and provide a
better cosmetic appearance. Debulking the nail will help decrease the fungal load. If there are further

nails done. The SSD stated podiatry comes to the facility. The SSD said the nursing staff should be
handling cutting the residents' fingernails. If the nails are soiled, the nurses should handle taking care of
cleaning. The SSD stated she was not sure who cuts the residents' toenails if there is not a podiatry
service, but nursing should know. On 01/08/2026 at 9:33 a.m., an observation was made of Resident #5
during a skin sweep assessment with Staff D, RN/UM. Resident #5 was observed with long fingernails on

station with all the ancillary services. The SSD upon checking the binder yesterday, there was nothing in the
binder. If the patient has a concern, then the staff puts it in the binder. The CNAs should inform the nurse.
CNA's do the care, and they should let the nurses know and the nurse should put it in the book. The SSD
stated the need for nail care does not have to be care planned if it is not an ongoing issue. The SSD said
there is a form residents' sign at admission to receive ancillary services. An interview was conducted with
the DON on 1/8/2026 at 3:00 p.m. The DON stated the expectations for podiatry care is that if there is an
issue, then staff need to notify SSD. The resident would need to be added to the podiatry list. The DON
stated issues can be diabetes, or poor wound healing, and anything like that. She noted they don't even
require one of those issues, if they need their nails cut, then they can be added to the list. The CNAs do not
cut toenails but can cut fingernails. No policy and procedure was received by end of survey related to nail
care.

provided.- 1/8/26 psychiatry note, .Substance: smoker. A review of Resident #23's smoking safety
education and acknowledgement, dated 12/20/25, revealed smokes is marked. On 1/7/26 at 4:25 p.m., an
interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Resident #34 and #23 do not have a smoking
evaluation and assessment. On 1/8/26 at 11:45 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Clinical
Reimbursement Director (CRD). The CRD said on admission the nurse completed the admission
assessment and the data automatically triggers certain care plan subjects. The CRD said after the
admission assessment is completed, she clarified to make sure the care plan is individualized, as initially it
is a general care plan. The CRD said in the first ten days of the residents' admission a meeting is
scheduled where the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) would discuss the care plan. The CRD said information
about the resident is also populated on a 24-hour report, which included a summary of what occurred the
night before. She said if anything happened and/or nurses document a change then it is discussed in the
IDT meeting. The CRD said she takes notes during these meetings and updates the resident's care plan if
needed. The CRD said Resident #23 had a care plan meeting yesterday where the resident told her she
smoked. The CRD confirmed prior to 1/7/26, she did not know Resident #23 smoked. She confirmed the
admission evaluation did not identify Resident #23 as a smoker. The CRD said the smoking consent and
evaluation/assessment does not drive the care plan, but if it was discussed in the IDT meeting she would
have acquired the information that way. She stated, It's probably something we need to look into, regarding
adding information to the care plan that she is not aware of. She said whoever had the information about
Resident #23 being a smoker could have added that to her care plan. On 1/8/26 at 12:41 p.m., a follow-up
interview with the DON was conducted. The DON said the staff member who is assigned to supervise the
designated smoke time takes hydration and the smoke cart/box, which contains the resident's items, out to
the patio. The DON said the staff member is supposed to provide an apron and/or assistive device to the
residents that need those items. She said the staff member also passed cigarettes from the residents'
cartons with their names on them. The DON said residents cannot have their lighters and should not have
their cigarettes on them. She stated, They should go into the smoke box. She said staff should be
confiscating their smoking materials if they are aware the resident had them. The DON said if the resident
does not want to comply, then staff should make someone aware on the administrative team. She
confirmed all residents are asked upon admission if they smoke. The DON confirmed Resident #23 signed
a smoking consent on 12/20/25 that showed she smokes. The DON said she did not have an answer as to
why a smoking care plan was not completed. A review of the facility's policy titled Smoking/Tobacco Use,
dated August 2024, revealed the following: POLICY . Suspicion of Non-complianceIf necessary, and with
resident consent or physician order in case of safety concerns, physical inspection of resident/storage
areas will be performed by staff, including following contact with visitors who may be suspected of providing
the resident with smoking materials and or associated articles. Smoking restrictions will not be assessed
against residents for the convenience of the staff, but for the safety and well-being of the residents, staff,
and visitors. The smoking agreement will be provided to the resident/resident representative to review and
re-sign.PROCEDURE . 4. Smoking/tobacco materials should be labeled with the resident's name and
maintained in a secure location. Residents may not keep combustible smoking materials in their
room.Residents are not to retain lighters, matches, cigarettes, e-cigarettes, ignitable tobacco products, or
other smoking materials in their personal possession.Care Plan 1. Initiate upon admission. 2. Review

Make sure there is a pest control program to prevent/deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on

will tell the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) or the Director of Nursing (DON), however I don't use the
bug book to report pest sightings. During an interview on 01/07/2026 at 1:24 PM the Regional Maintenance

be, and the company I believe is performing their tasks, but I still find live bugs throughout the building. We
do not do any type of room round audit but were supposed to do them and it's not getting input in the
electronic reporting system. We would like to see better documentation. During observation and interview
