F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure residents were treated in a dignified manner. This applies to 1 of 41 residents (R33) reviewed for dignity in the sample of 41. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: On May 19, 2025, at 1:10 PM, V14 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated, her, V9 (LPN) and V12 (Dietary Manager) got into a verbal altercation at the nurses' station. V9 and her work the night shift. They were giving report to the oncoming day shift when V12 (Dietary Manager) overheard them talking about their concerns with the dinner meal the night before. He was calling us wussies and telling us that the menu is planned out by a dietitian. V14 admitted to calling the dietitian a dumb b****. Another staff member (V22 Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) saw what was happening and told her to stop and leave it alone. She admitted to saying 2 cuss words. R33 was up and sitting by the nurses' station. On May 19, 2025, at 1:43 PM, V22 (CNA) stated, V12 (Dietary Manager), V9 (LPN) and V14 (LPN) were arguing at shift change. V12 was punching in the time clock (which is right by the nurses' station) and overheard V9 and V14 were upset about the dinner the night before and residents were hungry. He got defensive and very aggressive verbally. He was saying the dietitian makes the menu and they follow the menu. V14 did swear and called her a stupid b****. I told V14 to walk away but she was mad. R33 was sitting by the nurses' station. On May 19, 2025, at 2:43 PM, V12 (Dietary Manager) stated, he got to work around 6:00 AM and heard the nurses talking about what was served for dinner the night before. I tried to let them know the menus are approved and sent to us through a dietitian. V14 (LPN) stated, the dietitian was a stupid b****. I was trying to talk with V9 (LPN) and V14 kept intervening our conversation. Even V22 (CNA) told her to stop the conversation was inappropriate. V14 stated, she didn't give a f***. He wasn't sure who exactly was sitting out by the nurses' station at the time of the argument, but it was 1 or 2 residents that were there. On May 20, 2025, at 10:58 AM, V10 (LPN) stated, she witnessed the argument with V9 (LPN), V14 (LPN) and V12 (Dietary Manager). It was awful. V12 (Dietary Manager) was instigating that.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review the facility failed to assess and treat a resident after the resident hit their head when their wheelchair flipped backwards. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R34) reviewed for quality of care in the sample of 41. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: On May 20, 2025, at 11:17 AM, V34 (R34's daughter) stated, R34 had appointment at his orthopedic office. The facility transported R34 to the appointment and she met him there. She noticed a scrape on the crown of his head. R34 told her that the guy flipped him over on the way to the appointment. He stopped too fast and flipped him backwards and his head got scraped. She called the facility and asked what was going on. They said they got over booked and the maintenance man (V19) had to drive him to the appointment. The facility was going to have a nurse that previously worked in the neurology department at the hospital look at him. They checked him out and he was fine just had a scrape on the top of his head that was all she knew. On May 20, 2025, at 11:57 AM, R34 stated, he remembers the guy flipping him backwards in the van on the way to his appointment. I'm fine. On May 20, 2025, at 11:33 AM, V19 (former Maintenance Director) stated, he transported R34 to his appointment on April 15, 2025. He made sure he was strapped down and buckled in. He was at a stop light and when he went to go forward, R34's wheelchair fell backwards. He pulled over right away and picked him up. R34 told him he was fine. He has done a million of these transports and has never had any issues. This was the first time. He continued taking R34 to his appointment and waited for him until he was done. He did not call the facility and let them know because R34 said he was fine, and he was at the doctor's office. I didn't know, I'm just the maintenance guy just trying to get him to his appointment. On May 20, 2025, at 11:07 AM, V33 (Registered Nurse/RN) stated, R34 had an appointment and V19 (former Maintenance Director) took him to his appointment. Someone (she couldn't remember who) approached her and asked if she had heard what happened to R34 on the way to his appointment. Supposedly, R34's daughter (V34) called and was irate because she wasn't informed that her dad had an incident on the transport van. He flew backwards and hit his head. A little while later, V2 acting Director of Nursing/Assistant Director of Nursing (DON/ADON) was pushing R34 down the hall. She got R34 situated in the room and told V33 (RN) that she assessed him, and he was ok. She didn't need to worry about charting but to start doing neuro checks on him every hour. She stated, she got busy because she had 8 nursing students and did not do any neuro checks. She only did hourly charting (which was not in R34's electronic medical record). The incident happened on April 15, 2025. She did not call anyone and inform them of R34's incident. On May 20, 2025, at 12:13 PM, V2 (acting DON/ADON) stated, her understanding was that V34 (R34's daughter) called and said, R34 fell in the transport van on the way to his appointment. She was asked to check out R34 when he got back from his appointment. Once he returned, she took him to his room and assessed him. She used to work as an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) RN with a specialty in neurology trauma. She thought R34 was fine. She did not chart what she assessed, neuro checks or notified any physician about R34 falling backwards and hitting his head. She told V33 (RN) to do hourly neurology checks on him. She stated, doing neurology checks on someone after they hit their head would help determine if something is wrong.

V22 said she had R36 standing up with her arms above her head attached to the machine with the sling when she attempted to lower R36 to the toilet. V22 said the battery died and the machine wouldn't lower R36. V22 said she got other batteries and none of the batteries she tried were working. V22 said R36 was getting weak and starting to panic, so she tried to use the emergency release on the machine, and it wouldn't release. V22 said she had to put her knees under R36's bottom, and with a gait belt around R36's waist, manually lower R36 to the wheelchair. V22 showed this surveyor a mechanical lift in the resident hallway and pointed out the red emergency release ring was not connected to the shaft and slid up and down with no effect. V22 said this is broken, the emergency release should be connected to the shaft. V22 said they didn't have reliable equipment and staff have let the management know. V22 did not put a broken sign on the machine or remove the machine from the hallway. On [DATE] at 9:37 AM, V38 (CNA) said R36 is a mechanical lift. V38 said R36 has bad arthritis and pain in her knees and has dementia and doesn't know how to use the sit to stand machine. On [DATE] at 10:55 AM, V37 and V38 (CNAs) transferred R36 from her wheelchair to the bed. V38 said, while transferring R36, the emergency release doesn't work on this machine, they had just tried to use it on R8 (R36's roommate). V38 attempted to use the emergency release on the lift to show this surveyor and the release did not release. V37 and V38 continued transferring R36 to bed, provided incontinence care and then transferred R36 back to her wheelchair. V37 and V38 then transferred R8 from her bed to her wheelchair with the same mechanical lift machine. On [DATE] at 11:45 AM, V15 (Restorative Nurse) said she was notified that staff was doing a sit to stand transfer on R36 and the equipment malfunctioned. V15 said she told staff to always use a mechanical lift for R36. V15 said R36 is supposed to be a mechanical lift, but the girls were doing a trial with R36 on a sit to stand machine. V15 said she did not do an assessment on R36 to change R36's transfer status from a mechanical lift to a sit to stand. V15 said R36's cognition has been on the decline, and she is not appropriate for the sit to stand based on that. R36's Care Plan dated [DATE] shows R36 is at risk for activities of daily living decline related to generalized weakness and transfers via mechanical lift. Resident has inability to transfer self. Resident is a mechanical lift. Resident has impaired cognitive function/dementia or impaired thought processes i.e , memory/recall; orientation; decision making; delusional though content; etc., related to Alzheimer's, Dementia. 2.
