F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. 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 get one resident (R2) out of bed as requested and failed to ensure call light was within reach for two residents (R2, R5).Findings include: On 08/26/2025 at 11:25 AM, observed R2 lying in bed wearing street clothes. V5 (Certified Nursing Assistant) had mechanical lift outside R2's door and was getting ready to transfer R2 out of bed into his motorized wheelchair but said she had to find another staff member to help her. There was no call light within R2's reach. Call light switch was in the up position on the wall with no string attached to the switch. R2 stated he does not have a personal phone. On 08/26/25 at 11:30 AM, R2 stated he likes to get out of bed around lunch time and then likes to go out on pass into the community using his motorized wheelchair. R2 stated on 08/18/25 he was never taken out of bed; he spent the entire day in his bed. R2 stated V10 (Certified Nursing Assistant) assigned to him that day got him dressed after lunch and changed but was not able to transfer him into his motorized wheelchair. R2 stated she (V10) was pulled to be an escort. R2 stated V10 told him that someone else would be coming back to transfer him into his motorized wheelchair. R2 estimates that he last saw V10 around 1:30 - 2:00 PM. R2 stated he asked his roommate (R6) to turn his call light on for him around 2:30 PM because nobody had come to transfer him out of bed and he wanted to go outside. R2 stated he saw his roommate (R6) switch on his call light, so he knows it was turned on. R2 says he asked his roommate to do this because his call light is broken. R2 stated he cannot reach his call light because there is no string attached to it for him to access it. R2 stated if his roommate is not in the room when R2 needs help he has to wait for the roommate to return because the roommate is the only one who can reach the call light because his roommate can walk and R2 cannot. R2 stated the call light system has been broken for a while but does not know how long. R2 stated usually when there is a change of shift the person assigned to him checks in on him in the beginning of the shift but on that day (08/18/25) nobody from the (3-11 shift) came to check on him at the change of shift. R2 stated the 7-3 shift CNA (V10) came back to check on him around 4:00-4:30 PM and she was not happy that he was still in bed. R2 stated V10 told him that the staff was bogus for not helping him when she was gone. R2 stated he could tell V10 was annoyed. R2 stated he called IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) a little after 5:00 PM on 08/18/25 because he was very frustrated and annoyed that he was still in bed and ignored for hours. R2 stated when the 3-11 shift CNA (V22) assigned to him finally came into check on R2 it was around 5:30 - 5:45 PM. R2 stated V22 told R2 she was called to come in to work last minute and that is why did not check on R2 earlier. R2 stated V22 changed his disposable undergarment but that he was still left in bed. R2 stated V22 did not offer to get him out of bed. R2 stated he was never taken out of bed that whole day. R2 stated he was ready to get out of bed three hours ago but instead he was left lying in bed. R2 stated it is a safety hazard. R2 said, I could have fallen out of bed, anything could have happened to me. No one would have known because nobody came to check on me for hours. On 08/26/25 at 11:44 AM, 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 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few R6 who is R2's roommate stated that their call light is broke. R6 stated it is supposed to have a string attached to the switch through a hole in the switch, but the hole is worn open, so the string does not stay attached to it. R6 stated the string is not running through the middle of the switch. R6 stated his roommate (R2) asks him to trigger the call light for him when he needs help and R6 does it for him (R2). R6 said, I don't know what he does if he needs help and I'm not in the room.On 08/26/25 at 12:25 PM, observed R5 lying in bed with the call light switch on the wall behind R5's bed. There was no string attached to the call light switch. The call light switch was too far away from R5 to be able for her to push it down. R5 stated she uses her call light buzzer when she needs help from staff. R5 looked around her bed and stated she cannot find the call light cord. R5 asked surveyor, where is it? R5 stated she does not have any way of letting the staff know she needs help. R5 said, I just have to wait. R5 stated she does have a cell phone that she keeps in her bag, but she does not know where the bag is right now. Did not observe bag in R5's room or within reach of R5. On 08/26/25 at 12:33 PM, V1 (Administrator) observed R2's call light system and noted there is no string attached to the call light switch. V1 stated all residents should have call lights within their reach so the staff can address their needs. On 08/26/25 at 12:41 PM, V1 observed R5's call light switch on the wall located behind R5's bed with no string attached to the call light switch. V1 stated the call light should be within R5's reach and there should be a string attached to the call light switch. V1 stated the string must have broken off. V1 stated it is important for residents to have access to the call light because the facility wants to make sure the resident needs are taken care of. On 08/26/25 at 2:34 PM, V10 stated R2 likes to get up out of bed and get put into his electric wheelchair because he usually leaves the building on pass. V10 stated she was the CNA taking care of R2 on 08/18/25 on the (7-3 shift). V10 stated she changed R2 and dressed him in street clothes and placed the mechanical lift sling underneath him, but she was not able to transfer R2 out of the bed because she was pulled off the floor to be an escort for another resident's appointment. V10 stated this was around 1:30 PM. V10 stated she told the nurse on duty that R2 was clean and dressed but needed to be transferred out of the bed and the other CNAs on the floor said they were going to cover her residents since she was getting pulled off the unit. V10 stated when she returned to the building around 4:00-4:30 PM she went to check on R2 and R2 was still lying in bed. V10 stated R2 looked annoyed and seemed upset that he was still in bed. V10 stated she cannot remember if R2's call light was on or not. V10 stated at that time she did not see V22, the CNA assigned to him on the 3-11 shift on the unit. V10 stated R2 should have been transferred out of bed and into his electric wheelchair earlier because that is what he wanted and is part of his regular routine. V10 stated R2 should not have had to wait that long to receive the care he wanted. On 08/26/25 at 2:22 PM, V20 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated there is a get up list kept on the unit, so the CNAs know which residents are supposed to be up out of bed on which days. V20 stated she is familiar with R2, and she was covering R2 on 08/18/25 on the 7-3 shift. V20 stated R2's routine is that he likes to sleep in, waking up late in the morning and then gets out of bed around lunch time and is transferred into an motorized wheelchair and then he is out and about. V20 stated R2 likes to get out of bed every day. V20 stated on 08/18/25, the CNA assigned to R2 on the 7-3 shift had dressed him and had placed the mechanical lift sling underneath R2, but she was not able to transfer him out of bed because she could not find another CNA to assist her with transferring him before the change of shift. V20 stated when she checked on R2 toward the end of her shift sometime between 2:30 - 3:00 PM and R2 was still in bed and he was upset because he wanted to get out of bed. V20 stated she then told one of the 3-11 shift nurses that R2 needed to be transferred out of bed. V20 does not remember if R2's call light was on or not when (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145450 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 5 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 145450 B.

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few she checked on him. V20 stated she thinks the staff got R2 up that day because she thinks she saw him outside around 3:30 PM. On 08/27/25 at 3:55 PM, observed daily staffing assignment and V22 was listed as a CNA working on the 3-11 shift. V22 was not on her assigned nursing unit at this time. On 08/27/25 at 4:00 PM, V22 came onto the nursing unit carrying her personal items and stated she was delayed because she was downstair talking to the administrator because she was having difficulty logging onto the electronic health record system. On 08/27/25 at 4:10 PM, V22 (CNA) stated she works two jobs either before the 3-11 shift or afterwards. V22 stated if she gets to the facility later than 3:00 PM she calls ahead to let them know so they can alert the floor nurse and other CNAs so they can cover her residents until she arrives. V22 stated when she comes on shift, she rounds on her residents to see who needs care. V22 stated it is important for her to get eyes on all her residents initially and after that she checks on her residents at least every two hours. V22 stated R2 requires full assist with all care, and he cannot get himself up out of bed; requires two-person mechanical lift assist. V22 stated usually when she comes in R2 is not in the room because he is out on pass, but he usually returns to the facility by 8:00-9:00 PM. V22 stated she with the help of another staff member is the one who transfers R2 from his electric wheelchair back to bed in the evening. V22 stated it would be unusual for R2 to be lying in his bed earlier in her shift. V22 stated she does not remember anything out of the ordinary or unusual with R2 on 08/18/25. V22 stated she does not think she was late coming into work that day. V22 stated she does not remember seeing R2's call light on. V22 stated she does not remember him being in bed. V22 stated she does not remember if he was up in his motorized wheelchair. V22 stated she does not remember if she transferred him from his motorized wheelchair into bed that night. V22 said, I just cannot remember.On 08/27/25 at 10:34 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated there is a Maintenance Log Binder on each unit that the nurses document any issues/concerns of items that are broken or need repair. V2 stated a broken call light is a high priority because the residents need to be able to reach the staff. V2 stated some of the residents cannot get up on their own and the call light is their only means of communicating with the staff. V2 stated call lights should be within resident's reach. V2 stated not having access to a call light is a safety issue and could put a resident at risk for a fall. V2 stated if a resident is waiting too long, they may try to get up by themselves and we do not want them to do that, we want them to call us. V2 stated this could potentially cause an injury if they try to get up on their own. V2 stated it is everyone's responsibility to respond to a call light; it does not matter which room staff is assigned to. V2 stated there is get up list for each unit. V2 stated it is important to get residents out of bed to minimize falls and improve socialization, so they do not feel isolated. V2 stated it is the resident's right to be able to get out of bed every day and the staff should be accommodating that. V2 stated if a CNA gets pulled to go out on an appointment last minute, then the CNA assignment should be adjusted, and the other CNAs should pitch in to cover those residents. V2 stated when staff comes in to work the nurse and CNAs should round on each of their residents to get a visual check on them and to make sure they are clean/dry and to see if they need anything. V2 stated the situation with R2 was caused by a combination of lack of communication between the staff and monitoring because someone should have checked on him at the start of the shift, and the CNAs should be rounding on the residents every two hours. V2 stated someone should have responded to his call light as soon as possible, within 5-10 minutes. V2 stated the facility should be accommodating R2's preference to get out of bed. V2 stated R2 was probably sad and frustrated that no one responded to his call light especially if he has a routine of getting out of bed every day. R2 has diagnosis which includes but not limited to Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Paraplegia, Bilateral Lower Extremities, Scoliosis, (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145450 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 5 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 145450 B.
