F 0551 Give the resident's representative the ability to exercise the resident's rights. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the failed to have documentation to show a resident's representative could legally make decisions regarding a resident's enrollment in a Medicare Advantage plan when a third-party vendor enrolled residents in a new Medicare Advantage plan at the facility.This applies to 8 of 17 residents (R6, R7, R10, R11, R12, R15, R16, and R18) reviewed for changes to Medicare Advantage plans in the sample of 23. Findings include: On September 2, 2025 at 10:02 AM, V1 (Administrator) said, Our company is working with [outside insurance vendor] and that vendor takes over Medicare and Medicaid. On September 2, 2025, at 11:04 AM, V3 (SSD-Social Service Director) said, The [outside insurance vendor] chosen by our company, goes into the long-term care buildings owned by our company and offers residents to change their Medicare coverage to the [outside insurance vendor's] Medicare Advantage Plan. The SSD has to do the first point of contact between the residents and the insurance representative. My role was to say this is a new thing coming to our building. I took the rep around and introduced him to the residents. I called the POA (Power of Attorney)/guardians of the non-responsive people and had the same conversation. We, the staff, were told they were coming into our facility, and we are offering the residents this plan. I had to identify who was cognitively intact. The decision was based on the BIMS score (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score, and I used a BIMS score of 12 or higher to say the resident is decisional. They needed to be oriented to person, time, and place. [V15] was the representative from the [outside insurance vendor] who spoke to the residents and got the consents to change the residents' Medicare Advantage plans. V3 continued to say he was not present in the room when V15 (Insurance Agent) presented the Medicare Advantage plan information to the residents or to witness the signing of the enrollment forms. The facility provided a list of residents whose Medicare Advantage Plan has been changed to an I-SNP (Institutional Special Needs Plan) Medicare Advantage Plan with the new insurance vendor. The undated list shows R6, R7, R10, R11, R12, R15, R16, and R18 with an effective date in the I-SNP Medicare Advantage plan of September 1, 2025. 1.

F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were informed in a language and terminology they understood when a third-party vendor enrolled residents in a new Medicare Advantage plan at the facility. This situation resulted in R23 displaying psycho-social symptoms including emotional upset and crying when discussing the changes to his insurance he was not aware of. This applies to 3 of 17 residents (R1, R19, and R23) reviewed for changes to Medicare Advantage plans in the sample of 23. The findings include:1. On September 2, 2025, at 12:36 PM, R1 was sitting in his room. R1 said several weeks ago he signed up for a new insurance plan. R1 said, I didn't understand what I was signing up for. [V3] (SSD-Social Service Director) talked me into it. Then after I signed up for it, I found out I wouldn't be able to get my cancer medication and I was panicking because I need my medication. I didn't understand the new insurance would change what was covered. Then I had to just keep begging them to change my insurance back to what I had. I've been very upset about this situation. The EMR (Electronic Medical Record) shows R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), dementia, generalized anxiety disorder, hypertension, anemia, insomnia, history of skin cancer, major depressive disorder, epilepsy, cognitive communication deficit, lack of coordination, leukemia, toxic encephalopathy, urine retention, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. R1's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated June 19, 2025 shows R1 has moderate cognitive impairment, is independent with bed mobility, requires setup assistance with eating, and supervision with all other ADLs (Activities of Daily Living). R1 is always continent of bowel and bladder. On September 2, 2025, at 10:02 AM, V2 (DON-Director of Nursing) said, Our facility is working with [outside insurance vendor] Managed Care plan and they take over Medicare and Medicaid. [R1] is no longer part of the new plan. He signed up for the new plan, and there was a window of time where we couldn't do much with it. His doctor was able to get [R1's] cancer medications through his old insurance plan. They did not think they would be able to get the cancer medications through the new Managed Care plan at the facility. [R1] wanted his old insurance plan reinstated, and so we had to help with that. There were a few days of time for that transition to occur. 2. On September 9, 2025 at 10:35 AM, R19 was lying in bed in his room. R19 was speaking with a very thick accent and said his first language is Polish. R19 said Signing up for that new [Medicare Advantage plan] was a joke. [V3] (SSD) brought an insurance guy around, and asked if I would meet him. The insurance guy told me if I signed up, I would get a visit from a nurse practitioner every other week. The guy cheated me and didn't tell me everything, like the fact that I don't get to keep my doctor. He made it sound like we were going to get more services, not less. I don't want to be signed up for that insurance. I didn't understand what I was signing. The EMR (Electronic Medical Record) shows R19 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including, mononeuropathy of left lower limb, PVD (Peripheral Vascular Disease), hypertension, heart disease, spleen infarction, depression, anemia, spinal stenosis of the cervical region, post-laminectomy syndrome, low back pain, thoracic aortic aneurysm, anxiety disorder, adjustment disorder, and presence of prosthetic heart valve.

The Enrollment Form continues to show V15 (Agent) as the individual helping enrollee with completing this form only. On September 4, 2025 at 12:15 PM, V9 (Son of R19) said, I did not know [R19's] Medicare Advantage plan was changed. No one ever called me. I have Power of Attorney for [R19]. I do not trust that my father could make a decision for changing his health plan. English is not his first language, and I would not be confident he understood what he was signing. He speaks Polish.The facility does not have the documentation to show R19 has a Power of Attorney or Healthcare Surrogate form, or that V9 (Son of R19) was contacted regarding R19's Medicare Advantage plan. 3. On September 9, 2025, at 1052 AM, R23 was sitting in a wheelchair in the hallway outside of his room. R23 said, I signed some papers the other day, but they didn't tell me it meant I was getting a new doctor and a new nurse practitioner. I didn't understand it. I want to go back, but I have to wait. They lied to us. R23 became tearful and started crying out loud, saying he has many health problems including Parkinson's disease and depression and this insurance change was causing him to feel sadder and more depressed. The EMR shows R23 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including, degenerative disease of the basal ganglia, Parkinsonism, Type 2 diabetes, anxiety disorder, depression, repeated falls, abnormalities of gait and mobility, and Parkinson's disease.

R23 said he was approached by V3 (SSD) to ask if R23 wanted to hear a presentation regarding insurance. R23 said he would gladly hear about it, but decided not to do it because he didn't like the sound of it. R23 said he has had the same insurance company his whole life and he did not want to change from that. R23 said, Then when I said no, [V3] came back to my room and was asking me why I didn't want the new insurance. I felt like he was pressuring me to change to their preferred insurance, which seemed unethical and makes me not trust [V3] anymore. R23's MDS dated [DATE] shows R23 is cognitively intact. On September 4, 2025 at 11:57 AM, V1 (Administrator) said the facility does not have a policy regarding obtaining consents.

F 0602 Protect each resident from the wrongful use of the resident's belongings or money. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to protect the residents' right to be free from exploitation when the facility allowed an outside vendor to come into the facility and make unauthorized changes to cognitively impaired residents' Medicare Advantage plans. This applies to 3 of 17 residents (R5, R9, and R17) reviewed for changes to Medicare Advantage plans in the sample of 23.The findings include:On September 2, 2025 at 10:02 AM, V1 (Administrator) said, Our company is working with [outside insurance vendor] and that vendor takes over Medicare and Medicaid. On September 2, 2025, at 11:04 AM, V3 (SSD-Social Service Director) said, The [outside insurance vendor] chosen by our company, goes into the long-term care buildings owned by our company and offers residents to change their Medicare coverage to the [outside insurance vendor's] Medicare Advantage Plan. The SSD has to do the first point of contact between the residents and the insurance representative. My role was to say this is a new thing coming to our building. I took the rep around and introduced him to the residents. I called the POA (Power of Attorney)/guardians of the non-responsive people and had the same conversation. We, the staff, were told they were coming into our facility, and we are offering the residents this plan. I had to identify who was cognitively intact. The decision was based on the BIMS score (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score, and I used a BIMS score of 12 or higher to say the resident is decisional. They needed to be oriented to person, time, and place. [V15] was the representative from the [outside insurance vendor] who spoke to the residents and got the consents to change the residents' Medicare Advantage plans. V3 continued to say he was not present in the room when V15 (Insurance Agent) presented the Medicare Advantage information to the residents or to witness the residents signing the enrollment forms. V3 also could not say why he provided the names of R5, R9 and R17 to the insurance agent when they have a BIMS score of less than 12. The facility provided a list of residents whose Medicare Advantage Plan has been changed to an I-SNP (Institutional Special Needs Plan) Medicare Advantage Plan with the new insurance vendor.

I was not aware he (R17) consented to changing his insurance on August 20, 2025. I was not present for the presentation by the insurance agent, and I did not give my consent for that change to the new Medicare Advantage plan he is now enrolled in. Yesterday, [V3] (SSD) contacted me and told me they signed my dad up for a wellness program. It was not presented to me as a whole new insurance plan during the conversation; it was presented as a wellness plan. It is upsetting to think the consent for that insurance change happened on August 20, 2025 and yesterday is the first time the facility contacted me about it. How did [R17] even sign the paperwork?

V18 said, there are financial incentives, and the outside insurance vendor does quality bonuses. We reward quality care. When [outside insurance vendor] contracts with anyone, there are metrics of quality. For example, if the [outside insurance vendor's] member (resident) has hypertension, and it is controlled in the building over time; I cannot speak of a dollar amount but is a shared savings program.

We weren't there to hear what they presented to the residents or who signed what. The facility's Abuse Prevention Program Policy revised 3/1/21 shows: It is the policy of this facility to prohibit and prevent resident abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment, and misappropriation of resident property and a crime against a resident in the facility.

As part of the social history evaluation and MDS assessments, staff will identify residents with increased vulnerability for abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment, or who have needs and behaviors that might lead to conflict. Through the care planning process, staff will identify any problems, goals, and approaches which would reduce the chances of mistreatment for these residents. Staff will continue to monitor the goals and approaches on a regular basis.

Procedure: Procedure: Upon receiving a physician's order for a situation or event that will require the resident to need transport services, the nurse who processes the order will notify the staff member who coordinates transport orders so that appropriate transport can be scheduled. The transport will be secured according to medical necessity-such as a medical emergency or an acutely ill resident requiring an ambulance, while a routine non-emergency situation could require the transport services of a local or facility provider. The nursing staff will be aware of the appointments that require residents to be transported from the facility. There will be a calendar/log to inform them of this. Residents who will be transporting on a given day/date will have their personal care done and their medications given in accordance with the time they will be away from the facility for the appointment. Dialysis residents will have a meal sent with them as indicated. If for any reason an ordered/scheduled appointment is missed, it will be re-scheduled as appropriate, unless there has been some change, and the order is cancelled.

The facility does not have documentation to show R1 was seen by the dentist following the dental exam on April 26, 2024, or that R1 refused to have the two teeth extracted as recommended by V13. The Dental Consult form dated August 27, 2025 shows R1 received a dental exam by V13, and R1 had red, puffy tissue, lost a filling in tooth number 19, and had continuing pain. V13 ordered an antibiotic for R1 and recommended an extraction of the tooth at the next visit. The Dental Consult form dated August 30, 2025 shows R1 had an extraction of tooth number 19, and recommended extractions of two teeth, number 9 and 10 at the next visit. On September 9, 2025 at 9:28 AM, V13 (Dentist) provided a timeline of his dental visits with R1, beginning on August 27, 2025. V13 said he visits the facility weekly. V13 said he sees residents routinely who are signed up for the dental program, and will see any resident in the facility, upon request, including residents who are not enrolled in the dental program. V13 said the last time he examined R1 prior to August 27, 2025 was on April 26, 2024, when V13 recommended extraction of two different teeth (8 and 9). V13 said, when he examined R1 on August 27, 2025, R1 had a lot of pain, swelling, and infection present due to a lost filling in tooth number 19. V13 was not able to extract the tooth on August 27, 2025 due to the swelling and infection and prescribed antibiotics with the plan to return to the facility in a few days to extract the tooth. V13 said he returned on August 30, 2025 to extract tooth number 19, and returned to the facility on August 31, 2025 for a post-operative follow-up and found R1 was experiencing a condition called dry socket. V13 said he again returned to the facility on September 2, and 7, 2025 due to R1 experiencing pain, and again on September 8, 2025 due to pain. V13 said if R1 had received prompt dental care when he voiced concerns regarding the lost filling, the tooth pain and infectious process R1 experienced could have been prevented.
