Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through
support of resident choice.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to honor a resident's right to make choices
regarding accommodations to support safe bed mobility and positioning; specifically, failing to provide
requested handrails in a timely manner for one (Resident #136) of 49 residents in the total survey sample.
Failure to honor a resident's right to make choices about their care can result in physical injury or
psychological distress.The findings include:On 01/13/2026 at 11:45 AM, Resident #136 was observed
being pushed in her wheelchair by a staff member back to her room where her daughter was present.
Resident #136 reported that she was admitted to the facility last week, and that upon admission, both she
and her daughter had asked the Administrator directly for partial bedrails to assist her with positioning while
she was in bed. The Administrator's response was that he would look into it, but they had not heard back
about it yet. She further stated she was worried about hurting herself because the staff were asking her to
grab onto the closet door handle and the side table to reposition herself.On 01/14/2026 at 11:41 AM,
Resident #136 was observed seated in her wheelchair with a nasal cannula in place. She was dressed and
eating her lunch. No bedrails were observed on her bed. Her daughter was present in the room and
reported that she requested to speak with the Administrator yesterday (1/13) and was told he was out of his
office. She left a note with the front desk personnel requesting to speak with him. She stated she overheard
the Administrator in another resident's room and when he walked by Resident #136's room, she stopped
him to ask about the bedrails for her mother's mobility. She stated his response was that he did not have
time to address it right now. She stated he entered the room and asked about a telephone that was sitting
on the floor but did not provide a response about the bedrails prior to leaving the room, so she planned on
leaving another message for him with the front desk. On 01/14/2026 at 12:10 PM, an interview was
conducted with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) P, who stated the residents with bedrails on their beds
received them through the therapy department, and if she received a request for bedrails from a resident,
she would notify the nurse.On 01/14/2026 at 12:36 PM, Resident #136's daughter was observed at the
reception desk requesting to speak with the Administrator. As the Administrator was turning the corner
away from the reception area, he was informed that a family member wanted to speak with him. He
continued walking away without acknowledging the request. A medical record review for Resident #136
revealed that she was admitted to the facility for short-term rehabilitation services on 01/06/2026, with a
discharge goal to return to the community. Her primary medical diagnosis was Rhabdomyolysis (a condition
where damaged muscle tissue breaks down, releasing harmful substances into the bloodstream.
Symptoms can include muscle pain and weakness). Additional listed medical diagnoses included
generalized muscle weakness, anemia, peripheral vascular disease, and dependence on supplemental
oxygen. A review of Resident #136's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 01/14/2026,
revealed that she had clear speech, could make herself understood, and had the

cognition. She was coded as requiring substantial/maximal assistance for rolling left and right, and partial to
moderate assistance with sitting to lying and sitting to a standing position. No mental status changes,
behavioral issues or refusal of care were noted. She was noted as using a rolling walker at home prior to
admission and there were no limitations noted to her range of motion. A history of falls, muscle weakness
and continuous oxygen use were noted. No bedrails were noted. There was no MDS question that asked
the resident whether she would like bedrails for mobility assistance. There was no place on the MDS
assessment to document this information. A review of the Physical Therapy Evaluation and Plan of
Treatment was conducted for the certification time period of 1/7/2026 - 2/3/2026. The evaluation noted that
the resident previously lived alone in a single-story home and was moderately independent with all
functional mobility to include ambulating with a front-wheeled walker and driving. The following baseline
information was documented as of 1/7/2026:Baseline: 30-second sit-to-stand - Patient is unable - Requires
use of handsBaseline: Roll left to right - Partial/moderate assistanceBaseline: Ambulation was not
attempted due to medical conditions or safety concerns.Patient was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] for
right lower back pain when moving her right leg. Patient now presents with a decline in strength, balance,
endurance and safety awareness during bed mobility, transfers and ambulation.Precautions: Fall risk,
anxious, self-limiting, Hoyer (mechanical lift)Prior Therapy: Yes, at hospital and inpatient rehab facilityPrior
Living: Patient resided in a private residencePrior Equipment: Front-wheeled walker, wheelchair, shower
chair, grab bars, oxygen concentrator, portable oxygenPrior Cognitive Assistance: IndependentPrior Device

with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) K/Unit Manager for the Short-Term Rehabilitation Unit, she stated
residents with bedrails in place received them through an approval process with the therapy team who
evaluated residents for their mobility needs and an assessment for use without harm. She further stated
bedrails were then ordered, care planned and placed on the bed by the maintenance department staff. She
denied being aware of any requests for bedrails made for Resident #136. On 01/15/2026 at 2:12 PM, an
interview with Occupational Therapist (OT) F revealed that residents could have bedrails placed after being
assessed by the nursing and therapy departments. The residents were evaluated for bed mobility during
their initial evaluation when they asked about prior use of bedrails to determine the need. On 01/15/2026 at
2:36 PM, an interview was conducted with Physical Therapist (PT) D who completed Resident #136's
Physical Therapy Evaluation and Plan of Treatment during the certification time period (1/7/2026 2/3/2026). PT D acknowledged that a request for bedrails was made by the resident for safety and
positioning at the time of the evaluation on 1/7/2026, but she was denied because she did not use them at

01/15/2026 at 3:27 PM, an interview with the Administrator was conducted. He was asked how residents
and their family members were able to reach him and he replied, My contact information is available on my
business cards, or through any of the managers or the receptionist. I have an open-door policy and can be
contacted through email, voicemail, or staff directly, and when I'm not immediately available, I will call them
back typically the same day or the next day. He was asked if he knew about Resident #136's request for
bedrails. He said yes, he was notified the day after she was admitted to the facility, and he consulted with
the Director of Nursing (DON), but he failed to follow up with the resident and family. He further stated, After
the family member tracked me down in the hallway, I just had them installed today. This was something that
just went by the wayside and I probably should've followed up sooner than I did, but the rails are in place
now. (Nine days after the resident was admitted and requested the bedrails)A review of the facility's policy
titled Resident Rights (dated December 2025), revealed on page 5, number 35 that, The resident has the
right to reside and receive services in the facility with reasonable accommodation of individual needs and
preferences, except when the health or safety of the individual or other residents would be endangered.

Based on record review and interviews, the facility failed to provide the required beneficiary notices to two
(Residents #150 and #151) of three residents reviewed for beneficiary notices, who remained in the facility
following termination of their Medicare Part A services, placing them at risk of not receiving the required
notice of rights and services and potential financial liability. The findings include:
Residents Affected - Few
Record reviews for Residents #150 and #151 revealed that they remained in the facility following
termination of their Medicare Part A services, and were not issued the Skilled Nursing Facility Advance
Beneficiary Notices (SNF ABN), Forms CMS-10055, by the facility at the time Medicare A coverage ended;
information that explained their potential financial liability for items or services that would no longer be
covered by Medicare A.
On 01/15/2026 at 9:47 AM, an interview with the Social Services Director (SSD) revealed that he was
responsible for coordinating resident discharges; however, he was not responsible for issuing the Notice of
Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) or the SNF ABN notification, the MDS (Minimum Data Set) department
was responsible. He stated he would follow up to explain the financial liability if the resident or family
disagreed with the discharge.
On 01/15/2026 at 2:52 PM, an interview was conducted with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) M who
reported working in the MDS department for two years, and who confirmed that she was responsible for
issuing the notices of discharge to residents discussed in the facility's weekly Patient Driven Payment
Model (PDPM) meeting, where NOMNC and SNF ABN notifications were agreed upon. She confirmed that
she was responsible for issuing the required SNF ABN notification to beneficiaries that explained potential
financial liability, and she reported that when a resident disagreed with the NOMNC or wanted to make an
appeal, she notified the Social Services department so they could explain the financial liability potential.
She further stated she was unaware that a SNF ABN notification was required.
On 1/15/2026 at 3:05 PM, an interview was conducted with the MDS Coordinator, who confirmed that she
assisted LPN M with issuing the NOMNC notifications, and acknowledged the required SNF ABN
notification was not being provided to beneficiaries as required.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident with limited range of
motion (ROM) received appropriate treatment and services to increase ROM and/or to prevent further
decrease in ROM for one (Resident #66) of four residents reviewed for mobility/positioning, by failing to
ensure daily placement of a physician-ordered hand splint. Failure to apply a physician-ordered splint/brace
can result in worsening of a contracture, functional decline and increased pain.The findings include:On
01/12/2026 at 11:08 AM, Resident #66 was observed lying in bed with a sheet covering her up to her chin.
She held the sheet with her left hand. When greeted, she smiled, shifted her upper body toward the left side
of her bed and mumbled, hi. A dark blue colored brace was observed neatly folded on the nightstand
located to the right side of her bed. She was asked if she wore the brace that was observed on her
nightstand. She shook her head no and sighed before pulling her right arm from under the sheet with her
left hand. The fingers on her right hand were stiff and curled toward her palm. She dropped her right hand
down to her stomach and stated, see?. She was asked if she received assistance applying and removing
her brace. She replied no and cradled her right hand with her left hand close to her chest and began
rocking. On 01/14/2026 at 9:40 AM, a second observation was made of Resident #66. She was sitting
upright in her bed with her breakfast tray covered on her bedside table. A family member was resting in a
reclining chair in the corner of the room. When asked how she was feeling, she tilted her left hand back and
forth to motion so/so. When asked if she had her brace on, she pulled her right arm out from under the
covers with her left hand, dropped it to her stomach and cradled it with her left hand. The dark blue brace
was observed on the nightstand in the same spot as it was on 01/12/2026 at 11:08 AM. The resident's
family member reported that they visited her every day, all-day and they had not seen staff helping her with
her brace in months. A record review conducted for Resident #66 revealed she was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of hemiplegia/hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction (stroke)
affecting her right side. Additional diagnoses included reduced mobility, muscle weakness, and chronic pain
syndrome. The most recently completed Minimum Data Set (MDS) quarterly assessment, dated
09/05/2025, revealed that Resident #66 had adequate hearing, unclear speech/mumbled words, and her
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 06 out of 15 possible points, indicating severe cognitive
impairment. No behaviors or rejection of care were documented. She was noted with upper impairment to
one side (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand) and for lower extremity impairment (hip, knee, ankle, foot). She used
a wheelchair for mobility; she was dependent for toileting; she required substantial/maximal assistance with
showering/bathing and upper body dressing. She was dependent on staff for lower body dressing. The
Occupational Therapy start date was 08/14/2025. No range of motion or splint/brace assistance was
documented.A review of the resident's active Physician's Orders revealed: Pt (patient) to have R (right)
resting hand splint on 6-8 hrs. (hours) per day to decrease risk of contracture. RUE (right upper extremity
(upper arm) skin checks to be performed before and after. Order date 03/20/2025, active.A review of the
December 2025 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed that the physician's order for Resident
#66 to have a right resting hand splint on 6-8 hours per day, in addition to skin checks before and after, was
not listed.A review of the resident's active comprehensive care plan revealed no focus area for the
right-hand contracture with splinting or the skin checks before and after use of the brace. On 01/14/2026 at
12:10 PM, an interview was conducted with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) P who confirmed that she
worked with Resident #66 and was unaware of a splint or brace.On 01/15/2026 at 11:29 AM,

CNA I reported that residents who had splints/braces were evaluated and assessed by therapy or a doctor,
and then therapy would communicate to the CNAs. She further stated education was provided about when
to apply the brace, the length of time it was to remain on, and the shift responsible for the
application/removal of the brace. She added, We are responsible for placing them. She confirmed that she
was familiar with Resident #66 and confirmed she had never seen a hand brace or splint on her.On
01/15/2026 at 12:15 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) G reported her expectations for CNAs when
rounding included obtaining vital signs, changing soiled briefs, checking skin condition, and reporting any
changes to nursing. She was unable to confirm who was responsible for applying braces/splints, and said
she was unaware of any of her assigned residents having a brace. If they did, it would be documented in
their chart, and in the physician's orders.On 01/15/2026 at 2:05 PM. Occupational Therapist (OT) F
reported that she had worked for the facility for five years, and her responsibilities included screening new
admissions, completing assessments, and family and resident education. When she completed an
evaluation, she did a full resident chart review, how they move, transfer and strengths. She made
recommendations and goals were set related to ADLs to include bathing, dressing, and toileting. She
confirmed that Resident #66 was not currently receiving therapy services, but she had worked with her
when she was. OT F confirmed that there was an active order for a right resting hand splint and stated
restorative nursing or the assigned CNA was expected to place the hand splint when the resident was not
active in therapy. On 01/15/2025 at 3:11 PM, an interview was conducted with the MDS
Coordinator/Registered Nurse (RN) and LPN E who was responsible for completing the assessments for all
of the long-term care residents. LPN E confirmed that she completed the quarterly and annual
assessments for Resident #66 and that completing her assessments was a challenge, but she asked yes
and no questions, talked to the care team about any changes, and then updated the care plans. This last
quarter she reported seeing no changes. LPN E was asked to review Resident #66's active physician's
orders for any special devices. She confirmed that there was an active order for a right resting hand splint
for 6-8 hours daily. She confirmed that the splint was missed on the quarterly MDS assessment completed
on 09/05/2025, and that no comprehensive care plan was developed or implemented. A review of the
facility's policy and procedure titled Activities of Daily Living (ADLs/Maintain Abilities) (dated January 2024),
revealed:It is the policy of the facility to specify the responsibility to create and sustain an environment that
humanizes and individualizes each resident's quality of life by ensuring all staff across all shifts and
departments, understand the principles of quality of life, and honor and support these principles. The policy
interpretation and implementation indicated: 1. Based on the comprehensive assessment of a resident and
consistent with the resident's needs and choices, the facility will provide the necessary care and services to
ensure that a resident's abilities of daily living do not diminish. 2. The facility will ensure a resident is given
the appropriate treatment and services to maintain or improve his or her ability to carry out the activities of
daily living. 4. A resident who is unable to carry out activities of daily living will receive the necessary
services to maintain good nutrition, grooming, and personal and oral hygiene.

medications. While wearing the same pair of gloves, RN B proceeded to administer prescribed eye drops in
both of Resident #70's eyes and handed her a paper towel. RN B removed the gloves, did not perform hand
hygiene, and left the resident's room.

performed hand hygiene after medicating Resident #70, donned a new pair of gloves. She began preparing
the oral and transdermal medications for Resident #47. She placed the oral medications in a medication
cup, placed Juven powder (therapeutic nutrition powder) in a water cup and added water to mix the powder
with. RN B stirred the Juven powder with a spoon. She then removed the outer packaging from the ordered
Nicotine Transdermal patch and wrote the date and her initials on the top of the patch. She proceeded to
Resident #47's room. RN B entered Resident #47's room wearing the same pair of gloves and did not
perform hand hygiene. While wearing the same pair of gloves, RN B proceeded to peel the backing off of
the Nicotine Transdermal Patch and place the patch on the resident's left outer upper arm. Without
removing the gloves or performing hand hygiene, RN B handed Resident #47 his oral medications. The
resident swallowed his oral medications with water at the bedside. RN B then handed Resident #47 the cup
of water with the Juven powder mixed in for the resident to consume and departed the room without
performing hand hygiene. Upon returning to the medication cart, RN B removed the gloves and cleansed
her hands with alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
During an interview with RN B on 01/14/2026 at 9:30 AM regarding hand hygiene, she stated, We are
supposed to wash our hands between residents. When asked if staff were supposed to perform hand
hygiene upon entrance and exit of the resident's rooms, RN B stated, Well, we are supposed to do both.

A review of performance improvement documentation offered by the facility and dated with an initiation date
of 10/15/2025, identified that Infection Control and Antibiotic Stewardship was being reviewed. Education
with signature sheets, provided to the field office after the survey, indicated that handwashing education
was provided on 10/15/2025 and 11/13/2025. RN B was not listed as having received handwashing
education on either 10/15/2025 or 11/13/2025. Thirty-four handwashing competencies were provided to the
field office after the survey. The Date line at the top of each form had been whited out. Twenty-six of
thirty-four forms had a hand-written date entered on the date line of either 12/11 or 12/11/25. Eight forms
were left with a blank date line after they were whited out. Four forms were incomplete. One form was
missing the employee's signature, and two forms were missing a supervisor's signature. RN B was noted to
have successfully completed a handwashing competency on 12/11/2025 per the competency forms.
Handwashing audits provided to the field office after the survey were noted to have been completed by the
Director of Nursing on 10/15, 10/16, 10/17, 10/20, 10/21 and 10/29/2025. RN B was not noted on any of the
October 2025 audit forms. A handwashing audit dated 11/5/2025 and 11/19/2025 listed five staff members
reviewed including RN B, who was noted as having performed hand hygiene appropriately. A handwashing
audit dated 12/17/2025 and 12/31/2025 listed five residents reviewed, and an audit dated 1/7/2026 and
1/14/2026 listed five staff members reviewed including RN B, who was noted as having performed hand
hygiene appropriately. On the same date, 1/14/2026, RN B was observed during medication administration,
as described above, failing to wash her hands during medication administration for two residents. This
indicated that the facility's performance improvement plan was ineffective.
