This survey cited 16 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0610 Respond appropriately to all alleged violations. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. On 3/14/23 at 1:50 p.m., Resident #140 was observed with a purplish-blue bruise under his right eye. Residents Affected - Few On 3/14/23 at 1:52 p.m. , Resident #140's wife said the bruise around her husband's right eye appeared one-day several weeks ago. When she asked what happened they told her they did not know. On 3/15/23 review of Resident #140's medical record revealed he was admitted on [DATE] with a diagnosis of muscle weakness and Parkinson's disease. A nursing progress note dated 2/24/23 at 7:24 a.m. said at 7:15 a.m. they found a new small open area to Resident #140's right temple. They applied pressure to the area and then left it open to the air. The cause of the open area was unknown, and the incident was unwitnessed. Neuro checks were initiated. The daughter was notified, and staff would continue to monitor. Resident #140's medical record revealed a fall care plan stating Resident #140 was at risk for falls due to weakness, and poor safety awareness related to dementia diagnosis. Some of the approaches listed to keep Resident #140 from falling were to keep the call light within reach, the bed in a low position, reduce stimulus in the room at night, maintain adequate light when the resident was awake and keep personal items within reach. On 3/15/23 at 12:10 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff K, she said when she came to work several weeks ago, she found Resident #140 sitting in a chair. There was a large bruise around his right eye and temple area but due to his dementia, he was unable to tell her what happened. She believed he hit his head on something but did not know what caused the bruise on Resident #140's right temple and eye area. She said no one from the administration interviewed her about the bruise on Resident #140's right temple area. On 3/16/23 at 10:57 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON), she said Resident #140 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She said due to Resident #140's increased confusion and safety concerns he was moved to a secured unit. The DON reviewed Resident #140's medical record and confirmed the nurse wrote a progress note on 2/23/23 at 7:43 a.m. which stated they found a new small open area to Resident #140 right temple. She said when an injury of unknown origin was found an incident report should be created and a full investigation should be started to include resident and staff interviews to assist in determining what could have caused the injury. The DON said after reviewing the 2/24/23 incident report, Resident #140 was found by Staff K in the living area with a bruise on his right temple. She said there was no documentation they had interviewed any of the residents or staff to determine how the injury might have occurred and/or put into place interventions to ensure it didn't happen again. She said the Nurse Manager was responsible to conduct the investigation.

F 0610 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 3/16/23 at 12:55 p.m., Nurse Manager Staff F and Clinical Coordinator Staff L, said they oversee the memory care units. They said on 2/24/23 during the morning meeting they saw the incident report about a bruise of unknown origin on Resident #140's right temple. After the morning meeting, they did an assessment of the bruise of unknown origin on Resident #140's right temple. They said since it was not bleeding, they did not have to get a treatment order. Staff F said they did not document their assessment of the bruise on Resident #140's right temple area and did not investigate to determine how the bruise of unknown origin might have occurred and/or put interventions in place to ensure it did not occur again. On 3/16/23 at 4:26 p.m., the DON said after a full review of Resident #140's medical record, the incident report, and the morning Stand Up meeting notes, she was unable to find the documentation they had completed a full investigation into the bruise of unknown origin to Resident #140's right temple as required. Based on observation, review of facility policy and procedures, record review and staff interviews, the facility failed to have documentation of a thorough investigation related to alleged violations, including injuries of unknown origin for 2 (Resident #143 and #140) of 3 sampled residents reviewed for accidents. The findings included: 1. The facility policy Fall Management Program origination 3/8/17 (revised 11/22) documented, The Falls Management Program is an interdisciplinary quality improvement program that provides resident fall processes and outcomes. The program utilizes a systemic approach to assessment, individualized intervention and monitoring that will result in injury reduction and minimizing fall risk to our residents. An incident report will be completed for every resident fall within 24 hours. The interdisciplinary team (IDT) will complete a thorough investigation as well as a root cause analysis of all falls by completing the Post Fall Review Form. Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #143 had an admission date of 1/20/23 and a readmission date of 2/18/23 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's, dementia, left hip fracture, frequent falls, and aphasia (loss of ability to express or understand speech). The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) (standardized assessment tool that measures health status in nursing home residents) with an assessment reference date of 1/26/23 documented Resident #143 required limited assistance of one person with bed mobility, transfers, and ambulation. The MDS noted a Brief Interview for Mental Status (assessment of a resident's cognitive function) was 99 indicating the resident was unable to complete the interview. The facility fall assessment dated [DATE] determined the resident was a moderate risk for falls. The facility initiated a care plan on 12/26/22 indicating Resident #143 was at risk for falls due to weakness, low endurance and decreased mobility as a result of acute or chronic health conditions and aphasia. The care plan interventions on 12/28/22 included to orient resident to room, call light, and need to call for, and wait for assistance, maintain adequate lighting in resident's room, keep bed in lowest position possible, attempt to keep resident as active in activities during the day as resident (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105966 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 15 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 105966 B.

F 0610 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few has to go to the bathroom. The resident is nonverbal and took herself to the bathroom. She was found next to the bed with the walker so I figured she was going to the bathroom, it does not say that on the form. The investigation as to why she fell was she was getting up to go to the bathroom it is what she always does.

On 2/9/23 she had pain and we sent her for an x-ray, it showed a fracture, and she was sent to the Emergency Room. LPN Staff F said I can't say for certain if Resident #143 was ambulating after the fall on 1/29/23 because there was no documentation. I can't say for sure the left hip fracture was related to the fall on 1/29/23 because there was no investigation. On 3/15/23 at 1:38 p.m., the Administrator who is the Risk Manager said she did not investigate or file a report to the required State Agency once the hospital identified an acute left hip fracture with Resident #143, because we did not know what happened to her.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few TED hose, the resident may have refused on occasion. She said the flow sheet showing documentation of the TED hose being put on and taken off may have been documented incorrectly, and she would have to investigate it further. 2. The facility's policy and procedure titled Skin tear protocol with a policy revision date of 1/23 noted skin tears will be treated immediately to expedite rapid healing. The procedure noted to write the order as described. Cleanse with (brand name) wound cleanser . Apply silicone foam dressing. Change every seven days and as needed. The protocol specified, in the presence of a skin tear, the procedure will be written as an order and transcribed to the Treatment Administration Record. The Licensed Nurse will document the procedure and the progress. Review of the clinical record for Resident #67 revealed an admission date of 2/6/23. The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (tool to measure health status of nursing home residents) with an assessment reference date of 2/12/23 noted the resident's skin was intact. On 3/13/23 at 11:15 a.m., Resident #67 was observed sitting on the edge of her bed. Resident #67 said she had multiple skin tears.

F 0687 Provide appropriate foot care. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, record review, review of facility's policy and procedure, resident representative and staff interviews, the facility failed to assist with necessary podiatry follow up appointments for 1 (Resident #81) of 5 sampled residents reviewed. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: The facility's policy and procedure for care of the fingernails and toenails reviewed February 2018 noted the purpose included to keep nails trimmed, and to prevent infections. The general guidelines specified unless otherwise permitted, do not trim the nails of diabetic residents or residents with circulatory impairment; stop and report to the nurse supervisor if there is evidence of ingrown nails, infections, pain, or if nails are too hard or too thick to cut with ease. Review of the clinical record for Resident #81 revealed an admission date of 11/18/21. Diagnoses included generalized muscle weakness, dementia, and high blood pressure. Resident #81 resided in the Memory Care Unit of the facility. The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with an assessment reference date of 2/20/23 noted the resident was cognitively impaired and dependent on staff for activities of daily living. Resident #81 did not reject care. Review of the physician's progress notes revealed on 9/8/22 Resident #81 saw the podiatrist. The podiatrist documented a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of the arteries of the extremities (thickening of the arteries, causing reduced blood flow to extremities). The podiatrist documented Resident #81 had a painful corn to the left foot; ten mycotic (nail fungus) painful incurvated, inflamed toenails; ingrown toenails; pain in left foot; pain in right toes; pain in left toes. The podiatrist performed a sharp debridement (removal of dead tissue) of the keratotic lesion (corn). The podiatrist documented Resident #81 needed to be seen again in two months. Review of the Social Work Progress Note dated 2/22/23 revealed a care plan meeting was held with the resident's healthcare surrogate (HCS). The HCS said she was worried about Resident #81's toenails. The HCS stated she would check Resident #81's toes and let them know if she needs to be seen. On 3/15/23 at 12:55 p.m., during a telephone interview, Resident #81's Health Care Surrogate (HCS) said the facility was not taking care of Resident #81's toenails. On 3/16/23 at 10:35 a.m., observation of Resident #81's toenails with Clinical Coordinator Registered Nurse (RN) Staff L revealed long, thick, yellow toenails on both feet. RN Staff L said toenail clippers would not be effective for trimming the toenails, and Resident #81 should be seen by the podiatrist. On 3/16/23 at 12:29 p.m., RN Staff L verified on 9/8/22 the podiatrist requested a two month follow up appointment for Resident #81. She said the facility failed to arrange the two month podiatry follow up appointment, and Resident #81 did not receive the necessary foot care.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, review of facility policy and procedures, record review and staff interviews, the facility failed to provide adequate supervision and implement necessary interventions to prevent avoidable accidents for 1 (Resident #143) of 4 residents reviewed who were identified as being at risk for falls and sustained multiple falls at the facility, and a fracture requiring a transfer to a higher level of care. The findings included: The facility policy Fall Management Program origination 3/8/17 (revised 11/22) documented, The Falls Management Program is an interdisciplinary quality improvement program that provides resident fall processes and outcomes. The program utilizes a systemic approach to assessment, individualized intervention and monitoring that will result in injury reduction and minimizing fall risk to our residents . The IDT [interdisciplinary team] will complete a thorough investigation as well as a root cause analysis of all falls by completing a Post Fall Review form. The care plan, and staff assignment sheets will be adjusted as needed to reflect current and appropriate fall interventions. The nursing staff will observe, interview as appropriate and document resident's post fall status as well as effectiveness of identified fall interventions in place on each shift for the next 3 days in the resident record. It is important to recognize that on size does not fit all when considering interventions for residents fall management. Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #143 had an admission date of 12/26/22 with readmissions on 1/20/23 and 2/18/23 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's, dementia, left hip fracture, frequent falls, and aphasia (loss of ability to express or understand speech). The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) (standardized assessment tool that measures health status in nursing home residents) with an assessment reference date of 1/26/23 documented Resident #143 required limited assistance of one person with bed mobility, transfers, and ambulation. Resident #143 was frequently incontinent of urine, and bowel. A urinary and bowel toileting program was not being used to manage the resident's incontinence. The MDS noted a Brief Interview for Mental Status (assessment of a resident's cognitive function) was 99 indicating the resident was unable to complete the interview. The facility initiated a care plan on 12/26/22 indicating Resident #143 was at risk for falls due to weakness, low endurance and decreased mobility as a result of acute or chronic health conditions and aphasia. The care plan interventions on 12/28/22 included to orient resident to room, call light, and need to call for, and wait for assistance, maintain adequate lighting in resident's room, keep bed in lowest position possible, attempt to keep resident as active in activities during the day as resident will allow.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 3/16/23 at 11:40 a.m., Unit Manager LPN Staff F said the root cause of the fall on 1/29/23 was Resident #143 got up to go the bathroom because she does not get up unless she has to go to the bathroom. The resident is nonverbal and took herself to the bathroom. She was found next to the bed with the walker so, I figured she was going to the bathroom. The investigation as to why she fell was she was getting up to go to the bathroom it is what she always does. LPN Staff F confirmed there was no documentation the bowel and bladder schedule was initiated. On 2/10/23 at 9:00 p.m., a facility incident report documented 2/9/23 resident complained of left hip pain, primary nurse notified, some bruising and edema on left hip. Resident #143 was sent to the local hospital emergency room where an x-ray result documented an acute left hip fracture. The resident was admitted to the hospital and had a surgical repair of the left hip fracture on 2/12/23. On 3/14/23 at 12:57 p.m., an observation showed Resident #143's room door was closed and no staff were observed in the hallway. The resident was in her room alone and the call light was on the floor out of her reach. On 3/15/23 at 9:37 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff G said Resident #143 will yell, no words just screams when she wants assistance. She is able to use the call light, but she does not. The CNA said Resident #143 was able to use the toilet and ambulates with the rolling walker and assistance. Staff G said the resident will go to a few activity programs a week and she has family and friends who come to visit her. She does not speak but she understands you. I was not here when she fell and hurt her hip. She could walk with the walker but not by herself, she always needed help. The CNA said, Resident #143 did not like to get out of bed, and she will yell out. On 3/16/23 at 9:40 a.m., the Administrator confirmed the incident report did not specify if the care plan interventions were in place at the time of the fall on 1/29/23.

Based on observation, record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to conduct regular inspection of all bed frames, mattresses, and grab bars, as part of a regular maintenance program to ensure they remain safe, in good operating condition and to identify areas of possible entrapment for residents with grab bars. This had the potential to cause serious injury to the residents. The findings included: On 3/14/23 random observations on all six floors of the facility revealed multiple residents with grab bars on the beds in the raised position. Review of the facility's list of residents with grab bars revealed 117 residents had grab bars installed on their bed. On 3/16/23 at 10:44 a.m., in an interview the Maintenance Manager said the grab bars are on the beds prior to a resident's admission. He said we order them from the manufacturer and we put them on, that is all we do. We do not assess the grab bars or beds for areas of entrapment. The Maintenance Manager said he receives a work ticket from the staff requesting grab bars and they are placed on the beds. He said the mattress had two positions, wide and narrow but he did not measure for gaps between the mattress and the grab bars. He said a bed check was done quarterly and every movable component is checked. Grab bars are already on the beds and are either up or down, they are called pivoting plastic grab bars. The Maintenance Manager said routine maintenance of 20 beds was conducted monthly. The Maintenance Manager was not able to locate documentation of the routine bed checks for safety of the grab bars. He said he had no policy for use of the grab bars and said he did not check the grab bars and the mattress for entrapment areas. He confirmed he did not measure for gaps that might be present between the mattress and the grab bars. On 3/16/23 at 12:00 p.m., in an interview the Administrator confirmed the maintenance team was not measuring the beds and grab bars for areas of potential entrapment.
