This survey cited 3 deficiencies, 3 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 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Actual harm Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure timely medical treatment for one (R4) of three residents reviewed for change in condition on a sample list of 6. This failure resulted in R4 having an acute ischemic stroke resulting in receptive aphasia. The facility's Physician-Family Notification-Change in Condition Policy dated 11/13/2018 documents that the facility will inform the resident; consult with the resident's physician or authorized designee such as Nurse Practitioner; and if known, notify the resident's legal representative or an interested family member when there is: B) a significant change in the resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status (i.e., a deterioration in health, mental, or psychosocial status in either life-threatening conditions or clinical complications). On 4/11/2025 the facility held a nurse's meeting, and the V2 (Director of Nursing (DON)) educated the nurses on Documentation Guidelines for Change in Condition. A power point handout dated 2/28/2023 was provided and documents that nurses should always include the resident's signs and symptoms specific to the change in condition including vital signs. This education material also documents that nurses are not to monitor a change in condition without notifying the physician or nurse practitioner first. On 7/21/25 at 9:01 AM, V27 (R4 Family Member) stated that she called R4 on 7/1/25 around 8:00 AM and V27 stated R4's speech was garbled, and she was confused and kept asking V27 if she was there. V27 stated she reported this to V11(Licensed Practical Nurse) the nurse caring for R4 that morning.On 7/22/25 at 10:13 AM, V26 (Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA)) stated that she took care of R4 on July 1, 2025, and R4 wasn't acting right and wasn't making eye contact. V26 stated that R4 was transferring slower than normal and R4 couldn't hold her cup at breakfast and wasn't making sense when she talked.On 7/23/25 at 10:25 AM, V11 (Licensed Practica Nurse-LPN) stated that R4 seemed confused around mid-morning on 7/1/25 when she went to group therapy and V24 (Occupational Therapist (OT)) reported to V11 that R4 was acting nervous and confused. V11 stated that after lunch R4 continued to decline and was kept at the nurses' station for monitoring. Review of R4's electronic medical record does not include evidence that R4's vital signs were measured on 7/1/25. On 7/21/25 at 1:40 PM, V24 (OT) stated that R4 participated in a group therapy session on the morning of 7/1/25 and was having difficulty following one step commands. V24 stated that R4 exhibited confusion off and on during previous therapy sessions, but V24 stated this time it seemed more concerning. Speech Therapy note dated 7/1/25 documents that R4 was unable to effectively participate due to altered mental status.Physical Therapy note dated 7/1/25 documents that R4 needed max cueing for visual, verbal and tactile due to increase in confusion.On 7/22/25 at 10:39 AM, V12 (Nurse Practitioner) stated that she saw R4 the morning of 7/1/25 and resident was confused and seemed out of it. V12 stated she thought it was due to the medications R4 had received that morning but told V11 to monitor and call with any changes. V12 stated that V11 did not contact her that afternoon when R4 declined, and she said V11 should have called to report R4's change in condition and may have resulted in a more positive outcome for R4.On 7/23/25 at 11:57 AM, V2 (DON) stated she assessed R4 around lunch on 7/1/25 Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) 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.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to prevent a fall by failing to ensure fall precautions were in place and failed to minimize the risk of injury from a fall by failing to ensure interventions to reduce the risk of injury were in place. The facility also failed to ensure fall precautions and interventions were in place after a fall with injury for one (R1) of three residents reviewed for falls on the sample list of four. This immediate jeopardy began on [DATE] at 8:00 PM when this failure resulted in R1 having a high impact fall on [DATE] from an elevated bed onto the floor. This fall resulted in R1 sustaining a right leg fracture with shattered and displaced bone fragments. This fall contributed to R1's death five days later [DATE]. V1, Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE] at 10:23 AM. The surveyor confirmed by observation, interview, and record review that the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE], but noncompliance remains at Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training. R1's undated Care Plan documents diagnoses including cerebral infarction, cerebral aneurysm, thrombocytopenia, dysarthria and anarthria, rheumatoid arthritis, type II diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, and pain in right knee. This care plan documents R1 requires maximum assistance of two people for bed mobility and sitting up and R1 requires a mechanical lift for transfers. R1's Fall Care Plan dated 3/2024 documents R1 has a history of falls and contains an intervention dated [DATE] to have fall mats on the floor next to the bed and for the bed to be in the low position when R1 is in bed due to the history of R1 rolling out of the bed onto the floor. This care plan documents R1 has fallen out of bed on [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], and [DATE].On [DATE] at 10:08 AM, R1 was lying in bed on a low air loss mattress.

R1 was breathing with mouth open, and breaths were irregular and labored. On [DATE] at 9:25 AM V31, Maintenance Director measured the height of R1's bed frame from the floor in standard position at 22 inches, then measured the bedframe from the floor at the position R1's bed was observed to be (on [DATE]) when R1 was in bed. This bed position measured 32 inches from floor. V31 stated the air mattress was at minimum 4 inches in height which would put R1 36 inches from floor when observed lying in bed. V31 verified this is a high position for bed. The Progress Note by V8 Registered Nurse (RN) dated [DATE] documents on [DATE] at 8:00 PM R1 was found on the floor next to the bed on his back after V13, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) heard his screams from another resident room.
