F 0637 Assess the resident when there is a significant change in condition Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Resident #24 was an [AGE] year-old female resident who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a fracture to her left femur and left radius after a fall. Residents Affected - Few On 8/23/20 the resident was assessed with the John Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool and received a score of 20. The tool rated a person who scored greater than a score of 13 as a high fall risk. Resident #24 was care planed for falls related to the resident recent fall with fracture, status post hospitalization, history of Dementia with forgetfulness, and new environment. The only documented interventions for falls on 8/23/20 was to instruct the resident to call for assistance when getting out of bed and transferring, to encourage the resident to stand slowly, orient the resident to the room, surrounding areas, and use of call light. On 8/31/20, the intervention of being aware of the residents Dementia and forgetfulness when providing reminders and support was added to the fall prevention interventions. The MDS dated [DATE] showed Resident #24 needed extensive assistance with bed mobility and transfers and was not ambulating. Resident #24 needed extensive assistance with toileting and was frequently incontinent of both bowel and bladder. On 10/1/20 Resident #24 had an unwitnessed fall at the facility and was hospitalized with a second fracture to her left hip. The MDS assessment completed on 10/1/20 showed Resident #24 needed limited assistance with bed mobility, limited assistance with toileting, and had occasionally urinary incontinence prior to her fall at the facility. Resident #24 was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] with a fractured left hip. The resident was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] after having surgical repair to her left hip. On 10/29/20 the Director of Nursing (DON) was asked to provide the facility's fall prevention policy. A form titled ACCIDENT/INCIDENT PREVENTION was provided by DON as the facility policy for fall prevention. The form had no dates of review by the facility. The form consisted of 21 interventions that could be initiated for residents assessed as a high fall risk. One of the interventions on the list was to ensure that residents wear proper fitting shoes/slippers with non-skid surfaces. On 10/29/20 at 9:15 a.m., Resident #24 was observed lying in the bed.

F 0637 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few elevated from the floor and not in the lowest position to prevent injury to the resident should she attempted to get out of bed or fell out of the bed. On 10/29/20 at 9:25 a.m., in an interview Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff I verified the bed was not in the lowest position while the resident was in the bed. She stated she was not aware if the bed being in the lowest position was a current fall intervention for Resident #24. Staff I said she did feel the bed should be in the lowest position while the resident was in bed due to her high fall risk. On 10/29/20 keep bed in lowest position at all times was added as an intervention to Resident #24's fall care plan. On 10/29/20 at 10:51 a.m., in an interview the Director of Physical Therapy (DOPT) said after the resident was admitted to the facility, she had improved to stand by assist of one staff prior to her falling on 10/1/20. The DOPT said after the resident was readmitted on [DATE] she lost her ability for mobility and needed two staff members to assist her with transferring and toileting. The DOPT said Resident #24 currently was a two person assist with both transferring and toileting. On 10/29/20 at approximately 11:30 a.m., the MDS Coordinator LPN, Staff E said she should have completed a significant change on Resident #24, but she was waiting to see if she had any improvement with rehabilitation. Staff E verified Resident #24 was a high fall risk and that her current fall interventions needed to be updated due to her recent fall. Staff E said the certified nursing assistant staff were informed verbally by nursing when residents were a high fall risk. After reviewing the form that was provided as the facility's fall policy, Staff E said the facility currently did not have a fall program in place to identify those residents at high risk for falls. On 10/29/20 at 12:30 p.m., Resident #24 was observed sitting in a chair beside her bed. She was observed to be sitting forward in the chair as though she had been attempting to get out of the chair on her own. The resident had one green non-skid sock on her right foot and her left foot was barefoot. There was no other sock observed on the floor near the resident. The resident said staff had not been able to find her other sock and they were looking for it. When asked if she would call for assistance if she needed to get anything she said no. The resident was asked to find her call light. The call light was attached to her wheelchair arm on the left side. The resident was not able to locate the call light at that time. On 10/29/20 at 12:45 p.m., LPN Staff I found a second non-skid green sock in the resident's top dresser drawer. She said she could not explain why Resident #24 did not have a non-skid sock on her left foot. When asked about the resident's tennis shoes observed near the resident, Staff I said the shoes had caused a sore on the resident's left foot. A foam bandage was observed at that time to the resident's left foot. On 10/29/20 at 1:57 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Staff J said she was assigned to Resident #24 and had worked with her several times. She said if residents were a high fall risk the nurse told the aides in a report. CNA Staff J said staff nursing had not informed her that Resident #24 was a high fall risk. CNA Staff J said Resident #24 would use her call light very infrequently. She said Resident #24 would scoot forward in her chair and attempt to get up on her own. She said she thought the nurse just added an order for Resident #24 to be on fall precautions. On 10/29/20 at 2:20 p.m., the DON verified Resident #24 had had a change in condition on 10/1/20 (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 106098 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 12 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 106098 B.

F 0637 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm when she fell and fractured her hip at the facility. The DON said they had investigated Resident #24's fall on 10/1/20 and had found the resident thought she had heard her phone ringing and was attempting to reach for her phone. On being readmitted to the facility on [DATE] the intervention to ensure her belongings were within reach was added to her care plan. The DON would not answer why the intervention had not been in place prior to 10/1/20 due to her high risk for falls. Residents Affected - Few Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to complete a significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment as required by regulation for 2 (Residents #22 and #24) of 6 sampled residents reviewed for hospitalization and falls. This had the potential to delay revision of the resident's plan of care and services. The findings included: According to the Resident Assessment Manual, a significant change was a major decline in a resident's status, determined by a completed assessment of the resident. If the facility deemed the resident had met the guidelines for a major decline, the facility was required to complete a significant change MDS within 14 days of the identification of the major decline. 1. Record review of the resident's hospitalizations revealed Resident #22 had five hospital admissions with returns to the facility between 2/14/20 and 7/24/20. Record review of Resident #22's MDS admission and quarterly assessments between 3/4/20 and 9/2/20, revealed Resident #22 had multiple physical declines that required an increase in staff assistance and services. On 10/29/20 at 12:00 p.m., facility MDS Coordinator Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff E acknowledged there should have been a significant change MDS done for Resident #22.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to assess, evaluate, and plan care to provide individualized approaches to restore as much normal elimination function as possible for 1 (Resident #29) of 1 resident with the identified problem of a decline in bladder incontinence. The findings included: The facility's policy Incontinence (Bowel and Bladder) revised on 7/2005; indicated residents were to be evaluated for continence on admission and a monitoring record in place to assess elimination patterns. Each resident on the monitoring program would have individual plans and goals established by the care plan team to assist the resident in acquiring lost functions or to maintain present function. All incontinent residents would be further re-assessed on a quarterly basis using the Incontinence Re-assessment form. Licensed staff would review the last full incontinence assessment at that time. If there were no changes and current bladder plan of care was effective, continued current plan. If there were changes that did affect resident's plan of care, a new 3-day tracking and incontinence assessment would be completed. Then individualized plans and goals would be developed. Resident #29's clinical record revealed a diagnosis of Dementia, Depression, osteoporosis, and history falls with fracture. An Annual Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], indicated the resident was always continent of bladder and required staff assistance with toileting. A Quarterly MDS dated [DATE], indicated the resident was occasionally incontinent of bladder. On 8/21/20 a quarterly MDS was completed and indicated the resident was now always incontinent of bladder and required extensive assist from staff with toileting. An Incontinence Assessment was completed on 6/3/20 and 8/16/20. The assessments indicated Resident #29 was continent at least once a day and no interventions to promote continence were in place (prompted voiding, scheduled voiding, adaptive equipment, habit training, etc.). The certified nursing assistant documentation for bladder function was reviewed from 7/26/20 through 10/27/20 and there was no evidence of any tracking being done to establish a pattern of continence/incontinence to include time of episode, and how many times the resident was continent or incontinent during the shift. On 10/27/20 at 9:05 a.m., in an interview Resident #29 said regarding toileting she didn't drink anymore so she didn't have to go to the bathroom. On 10/27/20 at 1:54 p.m., in an interview Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff F said Resident #29 was usually incontinent of bladder since she broke her hip a couple months ago. Staff F thought the resident was aware of the need to urinate, but when Staff F found her in the bathroom already, she had been incontinent.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to store and serve food in a sanitary manner to prevent potential contamination. This failure had the potential to cause food borne illness in residents receiving an oral diet. The findings included: 1. On 10/26/20 at 7:15 a.m., during an initial tour of the kitchen, the door to the walk-in freezer was noted to be slightly ajar. There was a large area of semi-solid ice was noted along the edge of the door frame to the walk-in freezer and extended out about an inch away from the frame on each side and along the top. The plastic protective curtain strips were coated with partially frozen condensation; the floor to the left of the entrance around the wheel of the food storage cart had a large pile of snow-like condensation; and there was a large area of frozen condensation extending along the top of the ceiling in front of the fans with large droplets hanging down. On 10/26/20 at 7:30 a.m., in an interview Dietary Staff A said the condensation in the walk-in freezer had been like that for many months. On 10/29/20 at 9:46 a.m., a second tour of the walk-in freezer was conducted along with the Food Services Supervisor (FSS). The condensation was still present with more accumulation present on the floor and walls just inside the entrance. The frozen condensation droplets along the ceiling were still present. Discussed condensation on ceiling of freezer had potential to contaminate food with door being left open or so heavily coated with frost cannot close properly. This potentially could cause food to partially thaw with warming of freezer and then refreeze. The FSS acknowledged the concern and confirmed this problem had been going on for months. On 10/29/20 at 10:45 a.m., in an interview the Director of Maintenance said he had someone out to install a new door closer on 6/15/20 for this and fix a threshold screw on 10/9/20. He said there was nothing wrong with the seals of the door and condensation was from staff not closing the door properly and leaving it ajar. 2. On 10/26/20 at 7:15 a.m., during an initial tour of the kitchen, the following observations were made: the front of the stove was heavily coated with a large area of grease drippage going into a metal pan on the floor; the metal vent grates over the stove were heavily soiled with a brown grease like substance; the front, ides, and top of the dish machine was heavily coated with dried residue from water creating a thick crust along the top and edges; and all 3 hand sinks were soiled/stained with rust and drippage along the inside and outside of the metal frames. On 10/26/20 at 7:50 a.m., a tour of the kitchenettes on Independence Place revealed the inside glass door of the microwave was damaged and the interior was stained brown along the top and sides. On 10/26/20 at 8:15 a.m., a tour of the Bounce Back Lane kitchenette revealed a corroded and heavily stained microwave; and the ceiling above the drink and ice machines were heavily stained brown. On 10/29/20 at 9:46 a.m., a second tour of the kitchen was conducted along with the FSS. The areas previously identified were still present. The FSS said the grease drippage on the front of the stove had been like that for about a year and was probably a broken trap.
