The findings included: Review of the undated facility Policy and Procedure titled, Splints and Braces, revealed, Residents of the facility who wear splint or braces shall be monitored periodically assessed by OT (Occupational Therapy) and or PT (Physical Therapy) department. Splints and braces are usually fabricated and provided by Occupational Therapists and or Physical Therapists to treat temporary conditions of muscle weakness, joint limitations, pain and swelling. On occasion the splints and braces may be required for long term use to prevent contracture or to stabilize joints. Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #55 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including left hand contracture, hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body), hemiparesis (muscle weakness or partial loss on one side of the body) and stiffness of the left knee. Review of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with a target date of 3/12/25 dated 3/12/25 revealed Resident #55 had limitations on one side of the upper and lower body and was dependent for care. Review of the physician's orders revealed: An order with a revision date of 12/9/24 to, Apply (brand name) knee extension splint to left knee. The order specified for the splint to be on after breakfast and remove before supper. Staff was to monitor skin integrity when applying and removing. An order dated 1/21/25 to, Apply Left resting hand splint to Left hand. The order specified for the splint to be on after morning care and off at evening meal. Staff was to monitor skin integrity when applying and removing the splint. Review of the Therapy Screen completed on 3/21/25 revealed therapy was required for reduced/ improved left knee flexion contracture. On 4/13/25 at 10:19 a.m., Resident #55 was observed in her room in bed. She had her left arm and hand sticking out of the covers with her hand in a tight fist. Resident #55 was not wearing a splint to her left hand or a rolled washcloth. In an interview, when asked if she was able to move her hand, Resident #55 replied No. On 4/13/25 at 11:55 a.m., and 1:58 p.m., Resident #55 was observed in the same position in bed. She was not wearing a splint to her left hand or an extension splint to her left knee. On 4/14/25 at 8:57 a.m., Resident #55 was observed in bed. The call light was on the floor and out of her reach. There was a splint on her left hand, but it was not properly applied. The hand roll that goes into the palm to open the hand was positioned at the wrist.

F 0688 extension splint to her left knee. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Photographic evidence obtained. Residents Affected - Few On 4/15/25 at 12:00 p.m., Resident #55 was observed in her room, sitting in her wheelchair. She was not wearing an extension splint to her left knee. The left-hand splint was not applied correctly, and the large palm roll was placed under her wrist. On 4/15/25 at 12:06 p.m., in an interview Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff R said she did not know if Resident #55 should have a leg brace on but she did have a splint on her arm. LPN Staff R said she was busy and did not have time to check the resident's chart to see if there was an order for a leg splint. Review of the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) [NAME] (Provides instructions for care) revealed instructions to apply the splint to the left-hand splint and the knee extension splint to the left knee. On 4/15/25 at 8:22 a.m., Resident #55 was observed in her room in her wheelchair. The left hand splint was placed under her wrist and she was not wearing the left knee extension splint. On 4/15/25 at 9:51 a.m., Resident #55's left hand splint was observed with the Director of Therapy. In an interview, the Director of Therapy confirmed the left hand splint was not applied correctly. The Director of Therapy was observed massaging the resident's left hand. In an interview she said Resident #55 had a stroke and increased tone to the hand/fingers. She explained tone was the muscles tightening. The Director of Therapy demonstrated the splint should be applied with the roll in the palm of the hand and a separate part for the thumb. She said the thumb had more movement with decreased tone and this helped to keep the thumb from going into the palm. The Director of Therapy said the staff are instructed on how to apply each device. She said, We meet with them, we demonstrate the device and have them demonstrate how to put the device on. She said they also place the device instructions on the inside of the closet door with photos but confirmed there were no instructions for Resident #55. On 4/15/25 at 10:22 a.m., in an interview CNA Staff O said sometimes the CNA applies the splints and sometimes the nurse applies it. Staff O said, Therapy showed us how to put it on, so I know how to do it. On 4/15/25 at 12:29 p.m., in an interview CNA Staff T said Resident #55 required total care and he did not know about a leg splint. On 4/15/25 at 12:38 p.m., in an interview Unit Manager Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff S said she did not know about a knee splint for Resident #55 and thought it was discontinued. Unit Manager LPN Staff S reviewed the physician orders and confirmed Resident #55 had a current physician order for an extension splint to the left knee. On 4/15/25 at 12:46 p.m., in an interview the Director of Therapy said Resident #55 was receiving physical therapy. They have tried to apply the leg splint, but the resident would cry. She said, The therapist will not change the order until the resident is discharged from therapy. I thought the brace was discontinued in the past, I don't know why it is a current order, but we would not change it (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105761 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 22 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 105761 B.

The Director of Nursing (DON) was present during the observation. The DON noticed the broken fan that was lying on the floor next to the bed. The DON said the fan is an accident hazard because the resident could trip on it and fall. She said it should have been recognized by staff as an accident hazard and removed. The DON said the side rail should be raised on the resident's left side, but it was not. The DON said the fall mat should be down on the left side of the bed instead of up against the wall while the resident was in the bed. The DON said the room should have the call don't fall sign but it was missing. The DON said they tried interventions to reduce the falls, but the resident is non-compliant and does not ask for assistance. The DON said the resident was moved due to remodeling and is far from the nursing station. She said she would move the resident in the morning so she would be closer to the nursing station. On 4/16/25 at 9:34 a.m., during an interview with CNA staff G she said they moved the resident to the new room this morning. She said the staff did not tell her why they moved the resident. She said she is not assigned to the resident today, but she is familiar with her. She said she usually stays in the bedroom; does not go out of room for dining or activities. On 4/16/25 at 9:34 a.m. Resident #65 said they moved her room this morning. She said after they deliver the food, staff usually go away, and you don't see them anymore.

On 4/16/25 at 1:54 p.m., the DON reviewed each fall one by one since 11/22/24 and the interventions used to prevent future injuries and falls. The DON said the resident forgets to use the call bell and is non-compliant with education. The DON confirmed the interventions have not worked to prevent the Resident's falls and she keeps having them. The DON said they stopped incident reporting for Resident #65's falls. The DON said there were no interventions for increased supervision, and it was just this morning did they move the resident's room closer to the nurses' station, for more frequent monitoring.

The findings included: The facility policy Staffing documented Our facility provides sufficient numbers of staff with the skills and competency necessary to provide care and services for all residents in accordance with the resident care plans. 1. On 4/13/25 at 12:24 p.m., in an interview Resident #9 said it takes a while before someone comes to answer the call light. She said it depends on who is working, some staff are good, and some are not. They say they don't have the staff so what can you do? 2. On 4/13/25 at 9:53 a.m., in an interview Resident #17 said sometimes he waits an hour or more for someone to answer his call light. He said the staff tell him they are shorthanded and they don't have enough people to care for us. I was left on the bed pan for over an hour one day a week or so ago. I was on there for a long time and my legs and my bottom started to go numb, it was cutting off my circulation. I have told the nurse, they just say someone didn't come in today, so we are shorthanded. There are some good ones that work here, others are loafers, they see the light on and walk past it. The nurse managers change so quickly here, you tell one and then there is a new one. 3. On 4/15/25 at 8:43 a.m., Resident #17 said the call response depends on the day. He said this week there are so many people here, I don't know why, it could be because you are here. Last night was not good and I waited more than 20 minutes for assistance. I called my son and he said to call him back if someone didn't come and he would call the facility. 4. On 4/13/25 at 11:44 a.m., Resident #29 said it takes a long time for staff to answer his call light, more than 15 minutes to 30 minutes. He had a urinal on his bedside table 1/4 full. He said he did not like to have it there, but the staff had not come to empty it. Photographic evidence obtained. 5. On 4/13/25 at 12:09 p.m., Resident #37 said she must wait sometimes for 30 minutes or more before the staff answer the call light. It used to be worse on the night shift, now it doesn't matter. They tell me they are short-staffed, but I can't get out of bed without a lift so when I need something, I need it. Sometimes I lay here wet in urine for a while. On 4/15/25 at 11:01 a.m., in an interview certified nursing assistant (CNA) Staff O said call lights should be answered as soon as you see they are on. On 4/15/25 at 12:03 p.m., in an interview CNA Staff T said the call lights should be answered in 3 to 5 minutes or as soon as possible.

We do use the therapy hours, and the Therapy Director provides the minutes for all therapy staff. If I go over the required numbers, I'm ok with that. Residents want 1-1 attention it is different here when they come from the hospital. The expectation is 1-1 and we can't provide that. We have an on-call phone to ensure the building is staffed. I will replace the call offs; the unit managers will come in or I will. We do staff competencies electronically and in person. Residents Affected - Some The DON said the call light expectation is it will be answered within 5 minutes or less. Everyone can answer the call light from housekeeping to administration. We do call light audits, and we do Ambassador rounds daily. Each member of the management team has a group of rooms. We review the audits daily in morning meetings. I have done education on call light response time. We have had no agency since I started here. I have an on-going performance improvement plan for call lights, and we review it monthly. I have seen improvement in the last 5 months in the response time. I have a rotation of myself, the assistant director of nursing and the Risk Manager all take turns to supervise.
