F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to determine self-administration of medication was appropriate for 1 (R22) out of 12 residents reviewed for medication administration but allowed the resident to self-administer topical medication. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: On 04/02/24 at 11:54 AM, V7 (Registered Nurse/RN) was observed during medication administration. (Brand name for pain relief cream) was ordered to be applied to R22's right knee. V7 accessed (Brand name for pain relief cream), put the cream in a medicine cup, handed the medicine cup to R22, exited the room, and documented the medication administration in the resident's electronic health record. V7 did not assess the right knee, apply the cream, or observe R22 applying the cream. On 04/03/24 at 09:50 AM, interviewed V7 (RN) who stated that R22 self-applies (Brand name for pain relief cream). V7 stated that R22 is alert and able to put it on himself. V7 stated that it is a stock drug and not a controlled substance. When V7 was asked if an order is needed for R22 to self-administer medication, V7 stated Normally, we are supposed to get an order for the resident to self-administer medicine. V7 and surveyor reviewed the medical record. V7 stated that R22 did not have an order to self-administer prescribed cream or medications. On 04/04/24 09:51 AM during interview, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that for topical medication administration, the nurse is expected to complete hand hygiene, check the order, prepare the medication, put the cream in a medicine cup so that the nurse does not bring the tube into a resident's room, assess the area where the topical medication is to be applied, and then apply the medicine to the affected area as ordered. V2 stated that if the resident has an order for self-administration, the nurse makes sure that the resident applies the cream as ordered. V2 further stated that the nurse does not sign off on the medication in the electronic health record until the nurse sees the topical cream applied. On 4/4/2024 at 11 AM, R22's electronic health record (EHR) was reviewed. No physician order for medication self-administration was found and no Medication Self-Administration Evaluation Form was found. On 4/4/2024 at 11:30 AM, request was made to V4 (Assistant Administrator) for documentation of medication self-administration assessment for R22. No documentation was provided.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a timely person-centered care plan until after a resident experienced a forty-five-pound weight loss in less than 3 months from the date of admission. This failure affected 1 (R20) out of 4 residents who were reviewed for nutrition in the final sample of 19 residents. Findings include: During interview with R20 on 04/02/24 at 10:48 AM, R20 stated that the food is good. On 4/3/2024 at 12:36 PM, R20 stated that R20 knows that R20 has lost weight. R20 stated that R20 is happy with the weight loss but wants to gain some of the weight back. During review of record, on 4/3/2024 at 10 AM, R20 was admitted on [DATE]. R20's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] showed it was completed on 2/1/24. R20's weights were documented as: 1/18/2024 280 pounds, 2/7/2024 - 274 pounds, 3/9/2024 - 235 pounds. Dietary assessment dated [DATE] was reviewed on 4/3/2024 at 11 AM. The summary stated that the goal for R20 was weight maintenance or gradual weight loss. Dietary Care Plan was not initiated and entered by V14 (Registered Dietician) until 3/30/2024. It was reviewed on 4/3/2024 at 2 PM and stated that R20 has a nutritional problem related to overweight. R20 triggered for significant weight loss at one month which was unintentional and likely related to R20's eating habits being better than when he was living out in the community. The goal was for R20 to maintain body weight within ideal body weight range through the next review date. Interventions included encouraging R20 to follow health eating behaviors, preparing, and serving the prescribed diet as ordered, and weight to be obtained as ordered by physician. During interview with V17 (Care Plan Coordinator) on 4/3/2024 3:00 PM, V17 stated that for new admissions, a care plan is completed within 72 hours. At a minimum, the care plan should include Nursing, Social Services, Restorative, Dietary and Skin. V17 stated that the care plan is updated quarterly, annually and if there is a significant change in condition. V17 described a significant change in condition as a decline in resident function, weight change, decline in eating, or fall. If there is a significant change in condition, the care plan should be updated with interventions. V17 stated, If today we observe something, we must add to the care plan interventions. During interview with V2 (Director of Nursing) on 04/04/24 9:31 AM, V2 stated that at a minimum, the admission care plan should include Nursing, Social Services, Dietary, Restorative and Skin. V2 stated that if there is a significant change in a resident's condition, it should be care planned. Significant change in condition would include weight change, eating problems or ADLs. If there was a significant change in condition, the issue would be raised by the Nurse, Physical Therapy or Social Services. V2 stated, We also meet every morning to discuss care plans. V2 reviewed the care plan for R20. V2 confirmed that R20 had no care plan or dietary assessment from 1/19/2024 until 3/30/2024. When asked if a 45-pound weight loss in less than 3 months would raise concern as a significant change in condition, V2 stated yes. V2 stated that they changed dieticians. V14 (Registered Dietician) started 2 weeks ago. V2 stated, The previous dietician should have caught that. V2 stated that the facility has one person doing the weights so they should raise a concern about weight change and give that (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145235 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 26 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 145235 B.

V13 (Restorative Aide) turned on the wheelchair scale and zero out the scale. V13 then pushed R66 while sitting in wheelchair without any leg rest, onto the scale and secured the wheelchair. Surveyor, V12 and V13 witnessed the total of the wheelchair and R66 was 189.0 pounds. V12 and V13 took R66 back to his bed and brought the empty wheelchair to the therapy gym. Surveyor and V13 witnessed the empty wheelchair weighed 42.0 pounds. V13 stated, R66 weight is 147.0 pounds. I assist with monthly weights. I am not sure how R66 lost 13 pounds in one month, on 3/9/24 R66 weighed 160.0 pounds. On 4/3/24 at 12:05 PM, V14 stated, I only been working for this facility for two weeks. I have been a registered dietician for five years. Today was my first day working with R66. He said to me that he was purposely trying to lose weight. I spoke to several certified nurse assistants confirmed that R66 has been cutting back on his intake purposely to adhere to his doctor's orders. A weight loss trend for significant weight loss is 5% or more in one month, 7.5% in three months, or 10% or more in six months. R66 weighed 160 pounds on 3/9/24 and on 4/2/24 he weighed 142pounds. R66's clinical record showed, 1 month 3/9/24 - 160(8.1%), 3 months - 1/12/24 - 163(9.8%), and 6 months - 10/26/23 - 171(14.0%). Significant weight loss was noted at 1, 3, and 6 months. If a resident weight is trending down, I would recommend supplements, sandwich, snacks, or double portions to increase calories. I can enter the recommendation in the facility physician order system as a pending order. The floor nurse would call and give my recommendations to the physician for approval, once the physician approves my recommendation, then the nurse would confirm the recommendation that will become a standing order. Once approved, then I would email the dietary manager my recommendations. My recommendations should be followed out and printed on the resident's diet slip for the next meal. If the physician denied my recommendation, there would be a progress note to reflect the physician's decision. After reviewing the former dietitian assessment notes, double portions were recommended on 11/15/23, I placed in the order for double portions today. R66 was eating well according to his meal intake documentation 76-100% of his meals. If the facility followed the recommendation of double portions dated 11/15/23, it could have potentially slowed down or prevented R66's weight loss, but there is other illness that can also cause weight loss. Surveyor gave V14 R66's physician orders, dietary slip, March 2024, and April 2023 meal intake documentation to review. V14 stated, I do not see any physician order that document for R66 to eat less or to lose weight. I do not see any physician order or diet order that has double portions for R66. Looking at R66 dietary slip dated 4/2/24 and labeled Tuesday Lunch does not reflect R66 to receive double portions. R66's meal intakes from March to present, the majority document that R66 ate 76 to 100% of his meals. After I reviewed R66's progress notes, he did not have any illness documented that would account for a thirteen-pound weight loss in one month. I am not sure where the weight loss in the last thirty days came from. On 4/4/24 at 11:26 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, A few years ago the facility gave the dieticians access to our system to place in their own recommendations. The floor nurse will open the resident's chart and see there is an order pending, the nurse confirms order with physician then on the (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145235 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 26 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 145235 B.

F 0805 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual needs. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to prepare and serve mechanical soft food at the appropriate texture. This failure affected 8 (R8, R12, R16, R36, R42, R44, R58, R62) of 12 residents reviewed for mechanical soft diet prepared in the facility's kitchen, in a total sample of 19 residents. Findings Include: On 04/03/24 at 11:45 AM, during tray line observations observed V10 (Dietary Aide) calling out for a mechanical soft/ground diet order. Observed V23 (Cook) give V26 (Cook) slices of pork loin. V26 brought the slices of pork loin to a cutting board near the stove and began to chop the pork using a knife. V26 stated I'm helping to cut this food up for the mechanical soft diets. Observed the final chopped pork product to have no uniformity in size with larger and smaller pieces mixed together and the overall consistency appeared very dry. V26 placed the chopped pork into a container and gave it to V23. On 04/03/24 at 11: 50 AM, observed V23 portion chopped pork onto a plate for a resident's meal ticket which read mechanical soft/ground. No gravy or sauce was served with the chopped pork. On 04/03/24 at 11:55 AM, V23 stated there is no difference between the mechanical soft/ground diets and the mechanical soft/chopped diet. V23 stated for both the ground and chopped diet consistencies the cooks manually chop the meat using a knife and do not put meat through a commercial food processor unless the meat is very tough. On 04/03/24 at 12:05 PM, V9 (Culinary Service Manager) stated the mechanical soft/ground should be prepared using the commercial food processor not chopped with a knife by hand. V9 stated this is because the chopped consistency is not the same as the mechanical soft/ground. V9 stated the chopped consistency has bigger pieces than the mechanical soft and if residents on a mechanical soft/ground diet are given a chopped consistency it could be a choking hazard. On 04/03/24 at 12:14 PM, V25 (Contracted Regional Director of Operations) stated, they should not be serving the same consistency to both mechanical soft/ground and chopped. V25 stated chopped is bite sized pieces and mechanical soft/ground should be run through the commercial food processor to break down the food. On 04/04/24 at 11:34 AM, during phone interview V27 (Speech Language Pathologist) stated residents may need to be on an altered diet consistency if they do not have any teeth, or refuse to wear dentures, or if they have dysphagia which is a swallowing disorder. V27 stated residents with dysphagia are at Increased risk for aspiration which is when food/liquid goes into a resident's trachea or airway instead of going down their esophagus. V27 stated the kitchen should be following the specific diet order. V27 stated meat tends to be dry and therefore V27 recommends that the meat be served with a gravy because having an extra sauce or gravy softens the meat further to ensure safety and to make it easier to chew. 1.)

F 0809 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure meals and snacks are served at times in accordance with resident’s needs, preferences, and requests. Suitable and nourishing alternative meals and snacks must be provided for residents who want to eat at non-traditional times or outside of scheduled meal times. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure there are no more than 14 hours between the evening meal and breakfast the following day and failed to serve a substantial or nourishing snack at bedtime to residents who are not provided with an individualized evening snack. This deficient food service practice has the potential to affect 64 residents in a total sample size of 94 residents receiving an oral diet from the facilities kitchen. Findings include: On 04/02/24 after initial kitchen tour and tray line observation, V9 (Culinary Service Manager) provided mealtime schedule which documents range of mealtimes between 4:45 PM-5:05 PM for dinner and 7:15-7:35 AM for breakfast and that the nursing units are scheduled to be delivered in the same order for every meal (1st floor, then 2nd floor, and finally 3rd floor). The mealtime schedule documents in part, the 1st floor receives dinner at 4:45 PM and breakfast at 7:15 AM, the 2nd floor receives dinner at 4:55 PM and breakfast at 7:25 AM, the 3rd floor receives dinner at 5:05 PM and breakfast at 7:35 AM. On 04/03/24 at 3:40 PM, V9 stated the delivery mealtimes were changed and are now being used as of 04/02/24 because V25 (Contracted Dietary Regional Director of Operations) said the kitchen needed more time to get the meals out. V9 provided copy of updated meal schedule which documents range of mealtimes between 4:15 PM - 5:15 PM for dinner and 7:15 AM - 8:05 AM for breakfast and that the nursing units are scheduled to be delivered in the same order for every meal (1st floor, then 2nd, and finally 3rd floor). The revised mealtime schedule documents in part, the 1st floor receives dinner between 4:10-4:15 PM and breakfast between 7:15 - 7:25 AM, the 2nd floor receives dinner between 4:20 - 4:45 PM and breakfast between 7:30 -7:45 AM, the 3rd floor receives dinner between 4:50-5:15 PM and breakfast between 7:50-8:05 AM. On 04/02/24 at 10:30 AM, V9 stated not all residents receive an evening snack. V9 pointed to a list posted which listed residents' names by unit and specific food items to be prepared for them. V9 stated the residents on that list receive individual labeled evening snacks after the dinner meal because they are specifically ordered by the resident's doctor or the dietitian. V14 stated that if a resident does not have a specific order for an evening snack. On 04/03/24 at 3:43 PM, observed evening snacks for 04/03/24 prepared for 1st/2nd/3rd floor located in kitchen's walk-in cooler. Each tray contained individually labeled snacks for some residents. Surveyor did not observe any additional snack items on the trays and per observation there was not enough snacks on the trays for all the residents on the floor. On 04/03/24 at 4:18 PM, V9 stated V25 wants the kitchen to start giving snacks out so everyone can get an evening snack so for the past three weeks the kitchen has been sending up cookies when in stock along with the individually labeled snacks.

V23 (Cook) stated these trays were being delivered to the 2nd floor. On 04/03/24 at 3:48 PM, V28 (Registered Nurse) stated snacks delivered to the 3rd floor after dinner are individually labeled with the resident's name and not all the residents get an individually labeled snacks. V28 stated the kitchen sometimes sends up cookies and juice for the other residents who do not receive individually labeled snacks. V28 stated for some of the resident's the cookies are not enough and those resident's ask us for more food because they complain about still being hungry. V28 stated V28 tells them to talk to the dietitian so they can get something more substantial than cookies for snack. On 04/03/24 at 3:54 PM, viewed the 3rd floor pantry with V28. V28 stated no extra food is stored in the pantry and the kitchen does not stock the pantry with any items for the residents. V28 stated the refrigerator is used only for staff food. V28 stated if a resident complains of hunger in the evening the only thing V28 can give them is a cookie if there are any still left over or available. On 04/03/24 at 3:58 PM, V30 (Registered Nurse) stated V30 was a Certified Nursing Assistant for 10 years and has been a RN for the past seven years. V30 stated V30 works on the 2nd floor usually on the (11-7) shift but that every Wednesday V30 does a double shift working from (3-11) and (11-7) shift. V30 stated dinner arrives by 5:00 PM and breakfast is served between 8:00-8:15 AM. V30 stated V30 knows the time breakfast is served because it arrives as V30 is leaving the unit which is around 8:00 AM. On 04/03/24 at 4:02 PM, V31 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated V31 has been working at the facility for three years and that V31 works the 3-11 shift on the 2nd floor. V31 stated dinner is served by 5:00 PM and snacks arrive after dinner. V31 stated some of the resident's receive individually labeled snacks. V31 stated if a resident does not have an evening snack but wants a snack, the residents can ask the nurse to put in a request for one. V31 stated once the kitchen closes at 7:00 PM we cannot do anything about it and the resident just needs to wait. V31 stated no extra food is served on the unit or in the pantry unit. On 04/03/24 at 4:08 PM, V32 (Registered Nurse) stated the evening snacks arrive on the 1st floor unit between 6:00-6:30 PM. V32 stated some of the residents receive individually labeled snacks. V32 stated for the residents who do not receive an individually labeled snack the kitchen will send up one cookie and some juice. V32 stated if the resident is still hungry after eating the one cookie V32 cannot do anything about it. V32 stated the kitchen closes at 7:00 PM and the kitchen does not stock the unit pantry with any food.
