This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure each resident's person-centered comprehensive care plan was reviewed and revised by an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) composed of individuals with direct care knowledge of the resident and his/her needs. This impacted 1 of 2 sampled residents, Resident #1, reviewed for care plans. The findings included: Clinical record review conducted on 10/03/23 revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis that included Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA/stroke). Review of Resident #1's Minimum Data Set (MDS), admission assessment with reference date of 06/29/23, revealed the resident was assessed as moderately impaired for skills of daily decision making and required extensive assistance with activity of daily living (ADLs). Review of Resident #1's Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) Care Conference of 07/05/23 revealed no registered nurse with direct care responsibility for the resident, no nurse aide / certified nursing assistant with direct care responsibility for the resident, and no therapist with direct care responsibility participated in the care conference. Interview with the Administrator, Director of Nursing and Regional Nurse Consultant on 10/04/23 at 2:23 PM, confirmed the document provided did not validate participation of direct care staff. The administrator will look for further details. 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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, policy reviews, and interview, the facility failed to ensure care and services were provided to 1 of 2 sampled residents, Resident #1, that included failure to implement recommended discharge instructions for follow up diagnostic studies, failure to obtain recommended consults and failure to communicate and coordinate with the resident's responsible party the changes in treatment plan; and facility staff failed to report a skin injury, and subsequently did not investigate and implement additional interventions to minimize reoccurrence for 1 of 2 sampled residents, Resident #1. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: 1. Clinical record review conducted on 10/03/23 revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] for rehabilitation services. The resident's diagnosis included Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA/stroke) with severe deficits. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) admission assessment with reference date 06/29/23 revealed the resident was assessed as moderately impaired for skills of daily decision making. Review of the Baseline plan of care dated 06/22/23 and comprehensive plan initiated on 07/13/23 documented the resident has altered cardiovascular status related to Atrial Fibrillation, High Cholesterol and Hypertension. Review of the discharge instructions from the acute care setting dated 06/22/23 indicated Resident #1 had instructions for a follow up CT (computerized tomography) scan to determine if the anticoagulation therapy could be restarted and to follow up with the cardiologist and the neurologist. The hospital records validated Resident #1 was receiving Heparin, anticoagulation medication and Aspirin while hospitalized . Review of the clinical record failed to provide evidence of the completion of the follow up CT scan and referrals for the cardiology and neurology appointments. The medication administration records dated 06/2023 through 08/2023 indicated the resident did not receive anticoagulation therapy. Interview with the Director of Nursing, Regional Nurse Consultant and Administrator on 10/03/23 at 3:45 PM revealed, after review of the record, there was no evidence the CT study was completed or the follow up appointments were scheduled. The resident had an outside care manager who arranged the necessary appointments. Interview with the Case Manager conducted on 10/04/23 at 9:15 AM revealed the family members contracted her services weeks after the resident admission to the facility and the facility staff did not make her aware of the need of cardiology and neurology follow up appointments. Interview with the Physician on 10/04/23 at 12:35 PM revealed, as the attending physician and based on the clinical findings, the resident had a large middle cerebral artery stroke and was at high risk for bleeding, and the recommended CT was not done. The physician stated he was not going to resume anticoagulation for Resident #1, so the CT was unnecessary and he is not ordering unnecessary tests. The physician added the recommendations for cardiology and neurology were nebulous, as the (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105762 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 9 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 105762 B.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm The physician was asked if the changes in the plan of care were discussed and agreeable to the family members making decisions for Resident #1, who stated he could not recall specific discussions and acknowledged that there is no documentation to validate discussions regarding the omission of the follow up studies, anticoagulation therapy and follow up appointments. Residents Affected - Few The investigation determined that the facility staff and physician failed to follow hospital recommendations for after discharge care. The physician failed to communicate to the responsible party the changes in treatment plan regarding anticoagulation therapy and recommended studies and consults for a resident who sustained a cerebrovascular accident and was receiving anticoagulation therapy at the acute setting. The facility and physician failed to document clinical rationale for the change in treatment plan and failed to provide clinical rationale for not obtaining recommended consults. Resident #1 developed multiple blood clots requiring re-hospitalization. 2.

Clinical record review conducted on 10/03/23 revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] for rehabilitation services. The Minimum Data Set admission assessment with reference date 06/29/23 revealed the resident was assessed as moderately impaired for skills of daily decision making, required extensive assistance with activity of daily living and had no skin conditions. Review of the Baseline plan of care dated 06/22/23 and comprehensive plan initiated on 07/13/23 documented the resident is at risk for skin impairment related to incontinence, weakness and decreased mobility. The interventions included: Monitor and observe skin while providing routine care. Notify nurse for any area of concern as indicated and preventative skin treatments as ordered and indicated, as tolerated by resident. The record indicated Resident #1 sustained an injury on 06/30/23. The nurse documented that while assisting the resident back to bed after physical therapy, a small scab on patients left shin came off with scant amount of blood. The skin was cleansed with normal saline and a band aid was placed over the scab. Review of the incident logs dated 06/01/23 through 10/03/23 failed to include an incident related to Resident #1. Interview with the Director of Nursing, Administrator and Regional Nurse Consultant on 10/03/23 at approximately 3:55 PM confirmed there is no incident report for the injury and there is no further documentation of the skin injury or treatments. The nurse who wrote the note is no longer employed at the facility. The investigation determined the nursing staff failed to follow policies and procedures for the skin injury sustained by Resident #1.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way that maximizes each resident's well being. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, policy review and interview, the nursing staff were unable to demonstrate competency related to the provision of nursing assessments and reporting changes in condition. This failure affected 2 of 2 sampled residents, Residents #1 and #2. The findings included: 1. Clinical record review conducted on 10/03/23 revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] for rehabilitation services. The resident's diagnosis included Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA/stroke) with severe deficits. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) admission assessment with reference date 06/29/23 revealed the resident was assessed as moderately impaired for skills of daily decision making, required extensive assistance with activity of daily living (ADLs) and had no skin conditions. The baseline plan of care dated 06/22/23 and comprehensive plan initiated on 07/13/23 documented the resident has altered cardiovascular status related to Atrial Fibrillation, High Cholesterol and Hypertension. The interventions included: Notify Medical Doctor of significant abnormalities and changes as ordered / indicated. Review of the Progress Notes dated 08/01/23 documented the following: the resident was found to have left lower extremity swelling; the family at bedside had concerns; and the physician was notified and gave an order for a doppler study. Further review of the record failed to provide evidence of a detailed assessment, including relevant and pertinent information about the resident's condition, to ascertain the level of the change of condition. Interview with Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse on 10/03/23 at 11:30 AM, revealed she was the nurse caring for Resident #1 on 08/01/23. The staff recalled the family had concerns that the resident's leg was swollen, could not remember which leg but she went to the room and assessed the resident. The staff verified the resident's leg was swollen and she had not noticed the swelling before. Staff A did not recall the temperature of the leg, degree of edema or if she checked pedal pulses, but told the family she was calling the doctor and obtained an order for a Doppler as requested. In an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), conducted on 10/03/23 at 1:20 PM, the DON explained that on 08/01/23 she went to assess Resident #1, and touched both legs and asked the resident if she was in pain, the family was there and the resident kept saying pain, no matter where she touched, when she touched her left arm, her right hand, she was very repetitive in her words. The DON then obtained an order for an x-ray of the right leg based on the resident's complaint of pain. Interview with the DON, Administrator and Regional Nurse Consultant on 10/03/23 starting at 3:45 PM revealed the DON clarified she assessed the resident after the family voiced concerns and denied the resident had any swelling to her legs. The DON again stated the resident complained of pain when touched, even though she complained of pain in all areas touched, this was her typical behavior, repeating the word pain over and over.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few no injury. After the x-ray was negative, they did the Doppler to the left leg since the family complained about the swelling. Interview with the DON, Administrator and Regional Nurse Consultant on 10/04/23 at 2:23 PM confirmed the DON assessed the resident after the family voiced concerns of swelling to leg, and restated she did not see swelling. The DON acknowledged she did not document the assessment and findings, stating she thought the primary nurse was going to document. The investigation determined the nursing staff did not show competency in prompt identification of changes in condition; the facility nursing staff failed to identify the change in condition prior to family notification; the nursing staff failed to conduct a detailed and pertinent assessment of the resident's condition, including the degree of the edema, skin color, sensation, temperature, presence or absence of pulses and degree and location of pain to ensure pertinent information was relayed to the physician for appropriate treatment. 2.

Observation of care conducted on 10/03/23 at 12:50 PM, revealed Staff B, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), providing incontinence care for Resident #2. After the completion of care, it was noted Resident #2 had swelling to bilateral ankles and feet. The CNA was asked to remove the resident's nonskid socks, as the socks were tight around the ankle. The aide removed the socks and an imprint of the pattern of the socks was visible to bilateral ankles. Staff B was asked if the resident always had swollen ankles and feet, who replied she is not the permanent aide, but 'floats' and was not sure. Observation of care conducted on 10/03/23 at 3:00 PM revealed the Director of Nursing (DON) accompanied the surveyor to Resident #2's room and was asked to check the resident's feet. The DON did so and was asked if the resident's ankles and feet were swollen. After touching the feet multiple times, the DON stated yes, maybe plus one edema, and explained the resident was up in the chair, and that could be the reason why. The DON proceeded to cover up the resident and was asked if the resident had palpable pedal pulses. The DON then checked for pulses and replied yes, she does. The DON was made aware of the observation and interview with the aide and proceeded to walk to the nurse's desk. The surveyor asked Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), assigned to care for Resident #2, if she was aware of the resident's swelling to her ankles and feet, who stated 'no, the resident was up in the chair most of the day, and she did not notice it' Staff C confirmed the aide did not report it to her. Record review conducted on 10/03/23 verified the nursing staff has not documented the resident had swelling and in addition, the most recent physician's notes dated 09/23/23 document the resident had no swelling. The investigation validates the nursing staff did not display competency in identifying and reporting a change in condition, and performing a pertinent nursing assessment.
