F 0557 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Honor the resident's right to be treated with respect and dignity and to retain and use personal possessions. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to treat all residents with respect and dignity. Residents Affected - Few This applies to 1 resident (R47) reviewed for dignity in a sample of 25. The findings include: On 11/19/24 at 12:34 PM, R47 was observed in the hallway with yogurt spilled down the front of her sweatshirt and dripping down her face. V15 (Housekeeper) and V16 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) walked past R47 and V15 said to R47, Oh my gosh look at your face! V16 (LPN) then whispered something to V15 (Housekeeper) and V15 said, What did I say wrong? People don't wipe it! R47 continued to walk down the hall and turned the corner and V15 and V16 walked down the hall in the opposite direction and did not stop to help clean up R47. On 11/21/24 at 1:08 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said since R47 was up and walking around in the hallway, the staff should make sure she looks presentable. V2 said it is a dignity issue that R47 was not assisted and cleaned up when she was seen by staff with yogurt on her face and clothing. V2 said she didn't know why V15 would have made a loud comment in the hallway like that towards R47 and not asked the staff to assist with her hygiene instead. V2 said R47 does not talk a lot and really only says when she is ready to go smoke or ready for a beer. R47's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 10/4/24 shows she is moderately cognitively impaired, she has fluctuant inattention, disorganized thinking, and level of consciousness, and she requires substantial assistance with bathing. R47's Care Plan last reviewed 3/29/24 states she is at risk for ADL (Activity of Daily Living) self-care performance deficit related to Huntington's disease. The facility's policy titled, Quality of Life- Dignity last reviewed February 2020 states, Policy Statement: Each resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances his or her sense of well-being, level of satisfaction with life, feeling of self-worth and self-esteem. Policy Interpretation and Implementation: 1. Residents are treated with dignity and respect at all times .3. Some examples of ways which respect for choices and values are exercised include: a. Personal grooming .11. Demeaning practices and standards of care that compromise dignity are prohibited. Staff are expected to promote dignity and assist residents .12.

F 0582 Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the SNFABN (Skilled Nursing Facility Advanced Beneficiary Notice) Form CMS-1005 in writing to all residents who were discharged from Medicare Part A services with benefit days remaining. This applies to 3 residents (R47, R242, R91) reviewed for Advanced Beneficiary Notice and financial liability in a sample of 25. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: V11 (BOM/Business Office Manager) filled out SNF Beneficiary Protection Notification Review Form CMS20052 for R47 and documented Medicare Part A skilled services start date was 8/16/24 and last covered day of Part A service was 10/4/24. V11 documented the facility/provider initiated the discharge from Medicare Part A services when benefit days were not exhausted. V11 wrote the SNFABN was not provided to the resident/beneficiary because the NOMNC was issued. V11 filled out the SNF Beneficiary Protection Notification Review Form-20052 for R242 and documented Medicare Part A skilled services start date was 2/24/24 and last covered day of Part A service was 5/10/24.

V11 filled out the SNF Beneficiary Protection Notification Review Form-20052 for R91 and documented Medicare Part A skilled services start date was 8/16/24 and last covered day of Part A service was 11/11/24. V11 documented the facility/provider initiated the discharge from Medicare Part A services when benefit days were not exhausted. V11 wrote the SNFABN was not provided to the resident/beneficiary because the NOMNC was issued. On 11/21/24 at 10:26 AM, V11 (BOM/Business Office Manager) said if a resident receives a NOMNC (Notice of Medicare Non Coverage), she does not give them a SNFABN because that was how she was trained. On 11/21/24 at 11:10 AM after reading the facility's policy on ABN, V11 said she should have done ABNs, but she did not. On 11/21/24 at 12:40 PM, V1 (Administrator) said she read the facility's policy on NOMNC and SNFABN and the SNFABNs should have been completed for R47, R242, and R91 but they were not. V1 said V11 (BOM) said she had never completed a SNFABN. The facility's policy titled, Notices of Non-coverage and Advanced Beneficiary Notices revised October 2024 states, The facility is committed to upholding resident rights and this includes following the guidelines set forth by regulations regarding notices of non-coverage. We want all of our residents and families to be aware of the rights they have under Medicare as well as properly notifying them of what expenses may incur when switching payment sources .SNFABN .The facility will issue the SNFABN prior to Medicare A services ending to inform them that there will potentially be a cost incurred to the resident as a result of the Med A coverage ending. Typically, the facility will make every effort to issue this notice at the same time as the NOMNC .SNFABN- End of covered Stay .If a resident is currently covered under Medicare and coverage is ending and the resident will remain in the SNF, the SNFABN must be provided to the resident notifying them that someone else will need to pay for the SNF stay after Medicare ends. This could be private, Medicaid, or other insurance. This would be in addition to the NOMNC you already provided. The SNFABN does not need to be given if the reason (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145043 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 13 Printed: 05/15/2026 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 145043 B.

V9 completed R22's sacral wound dressing change, left the drainage bag on the bed. After the dressing change, V9 and V10 repositioned R22 in bed, and R22's catheter bag was under R22's leg. At 10:25 AM, V9 and V10 left R22's room, the catheter bag was still on the bed. At 11:00 AM, R22's catheter bag was still on the bed under R22's leg. Review of R22's Electronic Medical Record shows that R22 has the following diagnoses of osteomyelitis of vertebra, sacral and sacrococcygeal region, pressure ulcer of sacral region stage 4, and neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder. R22's Minimum Data Set (MDS) of 10/14/24 shows that R22's cognition is severely impaired. R22's has a physician order for indwelling catheter. R22's care plan (initiated 10/9/24) shows that R22 has indwelling catheter due to sacral wound and neurogenic muscular dysfunction, with intervention to position catheter bag and tubing below the level of the bladder. On 11/20/24 at 11:15 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) was informed of the catheter bag. V2 saw R22's catheter drainage bag on the bed. V2 said it should not be on the bed, it should be below the resident's bladder so the urine can flow properly and to prevent backflow of urine. The facility's Catheter Care, Urinary policy (revised July 2020) states that the urinary catheter drainage bag must be held or positioned lower than bladder at all times to prevent urine in the tubing and drainage bag from flowing back into the urinary bladder.
