Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure availability and working order of a personal wheelchair for 1 of 3 (R6) residents reviewed for accommodation of needs in the sample of 67.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include: R6's Occupational therapy Progress Report, dated 2/13/2023 to 2/23/2023 documents patient currently unable to utilize personal tilt and space wheelchair with ROHO due to missing cushion and chair in disrepair. R6's Occupational Therapy Progress Note, dated during certification period of 3/14/2023 through 4/12/2023, documents patient tilt and space chair still in disrepair. Patient has assessment for new chair 3/23/2023. R6's Occupational Therapy Treatment Encounter Note, dated 2/28/2024, documents skilled occupational therapist assessment indicates need for a tilt and space wheelchair with a hybrid ROHO cushion, adjustable headrest, pommel and fix leg rest. R6's Wound Nurse Practitioner Progress Note, dated 4/23/2025 V13 documented visit specific information: patients broda chair was found and I do recommend that he gets up for short periods of time. Recommend discussing with therapy for best option of offloading cushion for chair. A Typed Statement, dated 4/24/2025 signed by V18, documents (R6) was seen by skilled OT (Occupational Therapy) at this facility from 3/28/2025 to 4/22/2025 during that POC (plan of care) this therapist recommended patient utilize a tilt and space wheelchair with adjustable leg rest and a ROHO cushion (hybrid select or enhancer) when out of bed to maximize offloading and pressure relief. As of 4/24/2025 there had been no documented change in function or medical status that would change this recommendation. From a therapy perspective, when properly inflated a ROHO remains the gold standard for pressure relief and the aforementioned cushions provide the versatility to customize weight distribution to the patient's needs. Unless, due to the severity of the wounds, a wound care specialist has an alternative cushion recommendation that would provide comparable or superior pressure relief this would be the best option for patient's comfort and wound healing. Periodic observation of R6 throughout the annual survey, dated 4/22/2025 through 5/20/2025 noted him sitting in a high back wheelchair. His personal tilt and space wheelchair was in a storage room at the facility. On 4/24/2025 at 8:23 AM V18, OT stated (R6) had a specialty tilt and space wheelchair order years ago he got the wheelchair then he was admitted to hospice, he was discharged from hospice on 1/30/2023 and he never got his specialty wheelchair back. V18 recently assessed (R6) in OT from 3/28/2025 through 4/22/205 and it was her professional recommendation that he have his specialty tilt and space wheelchair with specialty wheelchair cushion with leg rests. The cushion she recommended was a special cushion for him because she could air up and deflate different cells of the cushion to assist with offloading his coccyx pressure ulcer and to ensure he had proper pressure relief. V18 stated she asked the former therapy manager many times about (R6's) wheelchair but it fell on deaf ears, she didn't know where (R6's) wheelchair or cushion was and she stated the facility never planned on replacing or even tried to locate R6's wheelchair.

On 5/1/2025 at 2:15 PM V13, Wound Nurse Practitioner stated she would follow therapy's recommendations for what wheelchair (R6) should be using and whatever chair he is up in should have a pressure relieving cushion to offload pressure on his coccyx pressure ulcer, if the pressure ulcer isn't offloaded properly is could potentially lead to the worsening of the pressure ulcer. A facility policy regarding accomodation of needs was requested multiple times throughout the survey to V1 (administrator), but never provided.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow advanced directives for 1 of 4 (R89) residents reviewed for advanced directives in the sample of 67. This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE] when R89 was transferred to the hospital with lifesaving measures, against the documented DNR (do not resuscitate) advanced directive status. R89 ultimately expired at the hospital after being subjected to CPR, Mechanical Ventilation and the use of an AED (automated external defibrillator) which subsequently re-started his heart for a period of time. On [DATE] at 2:28 PM V1, Administrator, V2 DON and V3 ADON were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy. The surveyor confirmed by interview and record review, the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE], after abatement reviews dated [DATE] at 3:05 PM and 3:17 PM, [DATE] at 12:11 PM and [DATE] at 10:57 AM but remains at Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-servicing training.
Findings include: R89's Undated Face Sheet, documents R89 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R89's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents he was cognitively intact. R89's Social Services Note, dated [DATE] at 4:18 PM documents R89 was admitted from a local hospital on [DATE]. He signed the POLST to be DNR. POLST will need to be signed by NP or Doctor. Order needs to be entered in PCC (Point Click Care). On [DATE] at 11:53 AM V7, Director of Social Services stated she documented the wrong year on the social service note dated [DATE] should be documented [DATE]. V7 confirmed (R89's) code status was DNR because she spoke to him herself about it and he definitely didn't want anyone pounding on his chest or being electrically shocked to restart his heart, he'd rather die peacefully. R89's POLST Form, dated [DATE] documents do not resuscitate, comfort-focused treatment. Primary goal is maximizing comfort through symptom management. Allow natural death. Do not use treatments listed in full and selective treatment. Full treatment: mechanical ventilation and cardioversion (use of an AED shocking the heart.) Selective treatment: do not use invasive mechanical ventilation. R89's Care Plan dated [DATE], documents resident chose to be a DNR per POLST. No CPR in the event that patient has no pulse, do not attempt resuscitation/DNR. Comfort focused treatment if patient is not in cardiac arrest. Follow if patient has a pulse. On [DATE] at 2:59 PM, V27, Medical Records stated she uploaded (R89's) POLST form on [DATE] and although she stated it wasn't a good and clear copy to scan into the resident's medical record, she could still read the form after it was uploaded to (R89's) medical record. R89's Nursing Note, dated [DATE] at 8:00 AM documents nurse alerted by staff that resident showing a change in condition. Resident observed with a thready, faint pulse. Patient assessed and treated until EMS arrived. R89's Nursing Note, dated [DATE] at 8:50 AM documents hospital notified facility patient expired at 8:48 AM. Arrangements made from hospital to be transported to funeral home.

R89's Health Status Note, dated [DATE] at 10:37 AM documents EMS arrived at 8:09 AM and departed at 8:21 AM. On [DATE] at 2:00 PM V11, CNA stated she recalled (R89) he was alert and oriented and was able to make his needs know. On [DATE] V14, CNA was assigned to (R89) and she recalled they both reported to V15, RN that (R89) was out of it that morning and the resident was really spacy. A while later she entered (R89's) room and observed V14 transferring (R89) with a gait belt from his bed to wheelchair and (R89) stated, I can't stand, I'm dizzy! and V14 lowered (R89) to the floor. V11 stated she ran down the hall and yelled for a nurse and grabbed the crash cart. V11 stated staff (names unknown) laid (R89) on the floor and started CPR and continued CPR until EMS arrived to the facility. V11 stated she was really concerned for (R89) because he was slow to respond earlier that morning but when she reported it to V15 she was receiving nurse report from the night shift nurse and she waived her away. On [DATE] at 2:15 PM V12, LPN stated she recalled (R89) and the day he was transferred to the hospital on [DATE]. V12 stated she wasn't assigned to the resident that day but at around 6:30 AM, at the beginning of the shift she overheard V11, CNA report to V15 that (R89) wasn't acting himself, she didn't know if V15 assessed (R89) or not because she was assigned to another hall. A while later, V12 heard staff yelling down the hall they need a nurse. She entered (R89's) room and observed V17, LPN and V16, LPN was on the floor administering CPR compressions to (R89) she relieved V16 from doing CPR compressions and checked (R89's) pulse and she didn't feel a pulse at that time. She didn't know (R89's) code status was but she did CPR because the other nurses were doing it. V12 stated after the code was over and (R89) was transferred to the hospital V15 told her that she was very upset because (R89) was a DNR and they did CPR on him and shouldn't have. She was concerned for her nursing license at that time and V12 didn't know what V15 documented as to what occurred when (R89) coded. V12 stated she didn't see V15 in the room during this time, V15 may have been outside at that time. R89's Medical Record dated [DATE] documents no vital signs documented. On [DATE] at 3:45 PM V17, LPN stated on [DATE] she was assigned to the 500 hall and during nurse report she overheard V11, CNA and V14, CNA report to V15, RN that (R89) was not himself and something was wrong with him. V17 didn't know if V15 went to assess (R89) or anything because she was assigned to the 500 hall and (R89) resided on 300 hall. Sometime in the morning (time unknown) V15 asked her, We don't do CPR on a resident that's still breathing, right? V17 responded, No, we only do CPR if the resident's not breathing. V17 didn't know what was going on or if V15 assessed (R89) at that time. A while later (time unknown) V17 heard staff yelling, CODE and she ran to (R89's) room and noted (R89) was sitting on the edge of the bed as V14 was holding him up and she assisted V14 to placed (R89) on the floor. V16, LPN arrived to (R89's) room and they started doing CPR at that time. V17 stated she didn't know (R89's) code status if he was a DNR or a full code but she went with performing CPR because that was her nurse intuition. After the EMS left the facility V17 stated V15 looked at (R89's) medical record she told her (R89) was supposed to be a DNR not a full code so staff shouldn't have done CPR on (R89) and they were nervous about it and didn't want to get in trouble. V17 stated she doesn't know what V15 documented in (R89's) medical record but she told her she wasn't going to document that staff did CPR because she didn't want to get in trouble or lose her nursing license. On [DATE] at 10:45 AM V14, CNA was assigned to (R89) on [DATE] and he recalled what occurred. V14 stated this was the first day he was assigned to (R89) and didn't know him at all. V14 stated he asked V11 if she could help him and she went into (R89's) and told V14 that (R89) wasn't acting himself and she left the room and reported to a nurse (name unknown) that (R89) wasn't right and V11 came

back to (R89's) room and said she told the nurse about it. Over an hour later V14 stated (R89) was laying in bed and was yelling, Get me up! I want to get up! No nurse came to (R89's) room V14 and V11 transferred (R89) to his wheelchair and as they did (R89) fainted/passed out and wasn't responsive. V14 and V11 got (R89) back to bed and he wasn't talking and his eyes were closed. V11 left (R89's) room and yelled down the hall that they need a nurse and V12, V16, V17 responded to (R89's) room immediately. They told them to put (R89) on the floor and the nurses started CPR. V14 stated he's a CNA and didn't know (R89's) code status. V14 recalled when EMS arrived to the facility he saw they used a mechanical ventilator to pump (R89's) chest and used an AED to shock (R89's) heart. EMS stated they got a heartbeat back on (R89) and he was transported to the hospital. V15 entered (R89's) and finally assessed him, 911 was called and he was transported to the hospital. On [DATE] at 11:14 AM V15, RN stated she was assigned to (R89) on [DATE] and she was familiar with him and was assigned to him often. V15 stated (R89's) baseline was he was alert and able to make his needs known and was a 1-2 person transfer. On [DATE] she recalled she got to work around 6:30 AM and got report from the night shift nurses (names unknown) and no issues or concerns was expressed for (R89.) No staff reported that he wasn't acting right during nurse report. It wasn't until around 8:00 AM that V11 reported that (R89) was not acting himself and she immediately went to his room and laid eyes on him. At that time (R89) was in bed and he stated he didn't want to get up out of bed. V15 stated (R89) was lethargic at that time and was very slow to respond to her and while she was assessing his vital signs including blood pressure, heart rate, pulse oxygenation and respirations and he was rapidly declining right in front of her. V15 recalled (R89's) pulse was faint and the oxygen saturation machine didn't register on his finger and she tried different fingers but it still would register a reading. She instructed V11 and V14 to put (R89) on the floor and she ran and got the crash cart and yelled, Code blue! She looked up (R89's) code status in the computer but she stated it was grayed out and she couldn't read it so she errored on the side of caution and instructed staff to start CPR. V12, V16 and V17 helped with CPR compressions and bagged (R89) until EMS arrived to the facility. V15 reported to EMS that (R89) was a full code and they continued CPR using a mechanical ventilator and also shocked (R89's) heart with an AED. (R89) heartbeat came back and EMS transferred him to the hospital. Hospital staff called back a few minutes later and stated (R89) was deceased . V15 stated she didn't ask other staff if a resident was breathing if you should start CPR because she is an RN and knows if the resident is breathing you don't start CPR. V15 stated she documented the entire change in condition regarding (R89) in the nurse progress notes in the computer including his vital signs and how staff provided CPR that day, she didn't know why the assessment wasn't documented in (R89's) medical record because she knows if you don't document it it wasn't done and she definitely wanted to protect her nursing license. After (R89) was transferred to the hospital the medical records staff showed her a code status book at the nurse's station and she read (R89's) code status and it showed he was a DNR. She was really upset because of everything staff did to save his life including mechanical ventilation and using the AED to shock his heart when they weren't supposed to do any of that. On [DATE] at 12:25 PM V15 called back and stated she recalled when she got the crash cart to (R89's) room staff (name unknown) was on the phone with V2 and he told staff to start CPR on (R89) immediately and that's why staff did CPR. On [DATE] at 9:45 AM V34, Former Therapy Program Manger stated she worked with (R89) and provided occupational therapy, she noted (R89) was alert and able to make his needs known. V34 stated she got to the facility at 5:00 AM on [DATE] and noted (R89) was in bed around 6:30 AM and observed V11 and V14 were transferring (R89) from his bed to wheelchair and he was yelling out that he didn't want to get up. V34 entered (R89's) room and told the CNAs to sit him

back on the bed and they did. V15, RN entered (R89's) room and asked what he's yelling about and at that time V34 noted (R89) took a gasp for breath which she thought was odd. V15 instructed the CNAs to lay him in bed and raise the head of the bed and that he'd be fine V15 then left (R89's) room. V34 stated she was gravely concerned about (R89) but that V15 was an RN and she trusted her nurse judgement. Around 8:00 AM she went to (R89's) room to check on him and V11, CNA was in his room and told V34 that she reported to V15, RN that (R89) was not responsive but that no one was doing anything about it. V34 stated she went to get a blood pressure cuff and a pulse ox and put it on (R89), neither the blood pressure or pulse ox would register a reading at that time and from what she could tell (R89) wasn't breathing. V34 stated she called V2, DON at that time on her cell phone and V2 stated he wasn't at the facility but if (R89) wasn't breathing that she needed to call a code blue and start doing CPR. V11, CNA yelled code blue down the hall and V12, LPN and V17, LPN entered (R89's) room and started doing CPR on him. V34 stated (R89) was transferred to the hospital after EMS got a heartbeat and she was informed he passed away shortly after arriving to the emergency room. V34 stated she found out from staff on [DATE] that (R89) was supposed to be a DNR, not a full code. On [DATE] at 3:00 PM V16, LPN stated she worked night shift and arrived to the facility at 10:30 on [DATE] and also worked day shift on [DATE] as well. V16 stated she was assigned to (R89) night shift and administered a medication, (medication name and dose unknown) to him at 6:00 AM on [DATE], V16 stated he was sleeping and she woke him up and he was at baseline at that time he took the medication and went back to sleep. He didn't complain of shortness of breath or pain at that time. V16 gave nurse report to the day shift nurses V12, V15 and V17 and V15 was (R89's) day shift assigned nurse. V16 didn't recall any staff reporting (R89) was having any changes during nurse report. A while later she was at the nurse's station and V11 came to the nurse's station and reported to V15 several times that (R89) wasn't acting right and was slow to respond to them. V16 stated V11 is assigned to (R89's) hall and knows him well so she knew something must be wrong if she kept saying something was wrong with (R89.) A few minutes went by and V15 was still on the computer at the nurse's station at that time and wasn't going to assess (R89) so her and V12 went to assess (R89.) V16 stated she was halfway down the hall when a therapy employee (name unknown) came out of (R89's) and stated he's no longer responsive. V16 stated when she entered (R89's) he was in bed and eyes were closed. Her and V12 assessed (R89) by doing a sternal rub which he had no response to and the pulse oximetry machine wasn't displaying a reading at that time. We called for a crash cart at that time and an unknown staff told them he is a full code. She instructed staff to put (R89) on the floor and she, R12 and V17 started CPR. When EMS arrived they used a mechanical ventilator and an AED to shock his heart a few times. After (R89) was transferred to the hospital she recalled a staff said (R89) was supposed to be a DNR and she didn't know that and she knew if a resident is a DNR they aren't supposed to do CPR on them. On [DATE] at 2:20 PM V27, Medical Records stated she recalled on [DATE] when (R89) was transferred to the hospital. V27 stated she told the nurse (name unknown) that was on the phone with EMS that she has a binder with resident information in it and that they could use the binder information if needed and she would replace whatever documents they use from the binder after (R89) was transferred to the hospital. V27 stated she didn't recall telling a nurse that the resident's code status was in the binder. R89's Hospital Medical Record, dated [DATE] documents History of Present Illness patient presents to the ER by EMS in cardiac arrest. Per EMS 10 minutes of downtime with bystander CPR.

At next pulse check, PE, AA was given epinephrine next couple pulse checks 2, still PE with cardiac standstill. Eventually time of death was called at 8:48 AM. On [DATE] at 12:45 PM V2, DON stated when a resident has a change in condition he expects staff to obtain vital signs including blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation and respirations. He also expects the nurse to assess the resident from head to toe noting any abnormalities. The nurse should talk to the resident and see what their orientation status is to see if there is a change in baseline. The nurse should also assess the resident for pain and dizziness. and to notify the physician of what the assessment was and to obtain orders from the physician. V2 stated the full change in medical condition assessment including vital signs is expected to be documented in the resident's nurse progress notes. V2 recalled R89 and stated he was sent to the emergency room for his catheter at one point but he was readmitted to the facility the same day and he didn't recall any specifics of what occurred on [DATE]. On [DATE] on 12:12 PM V2, DON stated if staff call him and notify him of a resident having a change in condition he would tell staff to get the resident's vital signs and have a nurse assess the resident and to notify the resident's physician of the change in condition to get physician's orders but he would never tell staff to initiate or start CPR because he doesn't know residents' code status and denied telling staff to initiate or start CPR on (R89) when he coded on [DATE]. He doesn't know why staff would say that he said that. On [DATE] at 11:25 AM V2, DON stated when a resident is initially admitted to the facility he expects staff to assess the resident's code status and document it on the POLST form. He expects the POLST form to be scanned into the computer in the resident's medical record and expects staff to upload a readable POLST form so staff can view it in an emergency situation. V2 stated he noted (R89's) POLST appeared [NAME] and it was poor quality and he couldn't read what (R89's) code preference was on the form. V2 stated (R89) was a DNR and staff should have provided comfort measures only and shouldn't have done CPR or had an AED used on him to restart his heart. A DNR comfort measures only means staff should still assess the resident, obtain vital signs, apply oxygen to the resident and ensure the resident is pain free and stabilize the resident to the best of the nurse's ability. V2 expected staff to honor the resident's POLST form wishes. On [DATE] at 11:40 AM V1, Administrator stated the facility doesn't have an advanced directive policy and they probably should so staff would know what it is and to follow it. V1 expects the POLST form in resident's medical records to be readable to ensure in an emergency the licensed nurse can read the POLST form and abide by the resident's documented POLST form code decision. On [DATE] at 9:50 AM, V21 Nurse Practitioner stated staff including the assigned nurse should know the resident's code status and should most definitely follow it because that is the resident's wishes which are usually documented upon admission to the facility. V21 stated if (R89's) comfort measures only then staff shouldn't have done CPR including mechanical ventilation or using an AED to shock his heart. The only thing staff should have offered (R89) should be oxygen if his signed POLST form documents comfort measures only.

Nursing will continue to update MD/NP on the status of the resident. 2. Process/Steps to identity others having the potential to be impacted by the same deficient practice: -All resident have the potential to be affected. R89 expired on 2/25/2025. 3. Beginning April 29, 2025, measures were put into place/systematic changes to ensure the deficient practice does not recur. -DON/ADON or designee will review physician's orders (e.g., code status) daily for the next 4 weeks. -DON/ADON or designee will review laboratory or radiology results pertinent to the resident's change in condition for the next 4 weeks. -DON/ADON will pull three random charts twice a week for the next 4 weeks and do the following: Review progress notes to determine what interventions were put into place to address the change or decline in condition (e.g., first aid measures, glucose monitoring, cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR], and immediate transfer)? 4. Plan to monitor performance to ensure solutions are sustained. -Beginning April 29, 2025 and continuing until further addressed in the plan of correction, the DON or Designee will conduct a chart review, 3 random charts twice a week for 4 weeks to ensure chart is the following: -Evaluate interventions to determine was intervention appropriate, monitored and modified as needed -Was pain assessed and treatment measures documented. -Ensure care was consistent with the resident advance directive or goals for care -If concerns are identified, review facility policies and procedures with regard to factors that led to the resident's change in condition. -Review resident significant change and compare it to their baseline. -Communicate changes with family/POA.

Surveyors validated the removal of abatement by reviewing medical records to ensure residents had readable POLST forms uploaded and a physician's order for code status, verification of code status documented in medical. R89 was deceased and therefor his medical record was not further reviewed. Surveyors reviewed POLST forms and physician's orders for code status. R48 didn't have an updated POLST form and this was brought to the attention of V7, Social Services Director. The facility submitted an advanced directive policy dated 4/30/2025 and they inserviced staff that day on the policy. V1, Administrator stated all staff will be inserviced before they start working, including agency staff. Employees including (V1, V2, V3, V7, V19, V27, V29 and V49.) Surveyors conducted a review of all facility inservices. Were interviewed to ensure they were aware of current policies and procedures and had been inserviced. The on the new advanced directive policy. V1 stated all staff have been inserviced on the facility's notification changes in condition policy and if they haven't been they will be inserviced on the policy prior to working on the floor with residents.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to properly assess, monitor residents experiencing a change in condition for 3 of 5 residents (R89, R193, R240) reviewed for change in medical condition in the sample of 67. This failure resulted in R89's delay in medical treatment for a change in condition and R89 was pronounced deceased at the hospital on 2/25/2025. This failure resulted in Immediate Jeopardy on 2/25/202 when R89, he had a change in condition and the facility failed to timely assess R89 which resulted in R89 being transferred to the hospital with lifesaving measures. R89 ultimately expired at the hospital. On 4/29/2025 at 9:15 AM V1, Administrator, V2 DON and V3 ADON were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy. The surveyor confirmed by interview and record review, the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 4/30/2025, after abatement reviews dated 4/29/2025 at 1:18 PM, 2:00 PM and 2:29 PM but remains at Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-servicing training.
Findings include: 1.R89's Undated Face Sheet, documents R89 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R89's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents he was cognitively intact. R89's Nursing Note, dated 2/25/2025 at 8:00 AM documents nurse alerted by staff that resident showing a change in condition. Resident observed with a thready faint pulse. Patient assessed and treated until EMS arrived. R89's Nursing Note, dated 2/25/2025 at 8:50 documents hospital notified facility patient expired @ 8:48 AM. Arrangements made from hospital to be transported to funeral home. R89's Health Status Note, dated 2/25/2025 at 10:37 AM documents EMS arrived at 8:09 AM and departed at 8:21 AM. On 4/23/2025 at 2:00 PM V11, CNA stated she recalled (R89) he was alert and oriented and was able to make his needs know. On 2/25/2025 V14, CNA was assigned to (R89) and she recalled they both reported to V15, RN that (R89) was out of it that morning and the resident was really spacy. A while later she entered (R89's) room and observed V14 transferring (R89) with a gait belt from his bed to wheelchair and (R89) stated, I can't stand, I'm dizzy! V14 lowered (R89) to the floor. V11 stated she ran down the hall and yelled for a nurse. V11 stated she was really concerned for (R89) because he was

On 4/23/2025 at 2:15 PM V12, LPN stated she recalled (R89) the day he had a change in medical condition and was transferred to the hospital on 2/25/2025. V12 stated she wasn't assigned to (R89) that day but at around 6:30 AM, at the beginning of the shift she overheard V11, CNA report to V15 that (R89) wasn't acting himself, she didn't know if V15 assessed (R89) or not because she was assigned to another hall. A while later V12 heard staff yelling down the hall they need a nurse that (R89) had a change in medical condition. R89's Medical Record dated 2/25/2025 documents no vital signs documented. On 4/23/2025 at 3:45 PM V17, LPN stated on 2/25/2025 she was assigned to the 500 hall and during nurse report she overheard V11, CNA and V14, CNA report to V15, RN that (R89) was not himself and something was wrong with him. V17 didn't know if V15 went to assess (R89) or anything because she was assigned to the 500 hall and (R89) resided on 300 hall. Sometime later that morning (time unknown) staff announced (R89) wasn't responsive and 911 was called and he was transferred to the hospital. On 4/24/2025 at 10:45 AM V14, CNA was assigned to (R89) on 2/25/2025 and he recalled what occurred. V14 stated this was the first day he was assigned to (R89) and didn't know him at all. V14 stated he asked V11 if she could help him and she went into (R89's) and told V14 that (R89) wasn't acting himself and she left the room and reported to a nurse (name unknown) that (R89) wasn't right and V11 came back to (R89's) room and said she told the nurse about it. Over an hour later, V14 stated (R89) was laying in bed and was yelling, Get me up! I want to get up! No nurse came to (R89's) room V14 and V11 transferred (R89) to his wheelchair and as they did (R89) fainted/passed out and wasn't responsive. V14 and V11 got (R89) back to bed and he wasn't talking and his eyes were closed. V11 left (R89's) room and yelled down the hall that they need a nurse and V12, V16, V17 responded to (R89's) room immediately. V15 entered (R89's) and finally assessed him, 911 was called and he was transported to the hospital.

At that time (R89) was in bed and he stated he didn't want to get up out of bed. V15 stated (R89) was lethargic at that time and was very slow to respond to her and while she was assessing his vital signs including blood pressure, heart rate, pulse oxygenation and respirations and he was rapidly declining right in front of her. V15 recalled (R89's) pulse was faint and the oxygen saturation machine didn't register on his finger and she tried different fingers but it still wouldn't register a reading. V15 also reiterated that no staff reported to her that (R89) was having an issues or any concerns prior to after nurse report and she started administering medications to residents. V15 stated she documented the entire change in condition regarding (R89) in the nurse progress notes in the computer including his vital signs, she didn't know why the assessment wasn't documented in (R89's) medical record because she knows if you don't document it it wasn't done and she definitely wanted to protect her nursing license. V15 stated (R89) was transferred to the hospital via EMS and he died shortly after arriving to the hospital.

V15, RN entered (R89's) room and asked what he's yelling about and at that time V34 noted (R89) took a gasp for breath which she thought was odd. V15 instructed the CNAs to lay him in bed and raise the head of the bed and that he'd be fine V15 then left (R89's) room. V34 stated she was gravely concerned about (R89) but that V15 was an RN and she trusted her nurse judgement. Around 8:00 AM she went to (R89's) room to check on him and V11, CNA was in his room and told V34 that she reported to V15, RN that (R89) was not responsive but that no one was doing anything about it. V34 stated she went to get a blood pressure cuff and a pulse ox and put it on (R89), neither the blood pressure or pulse ox would register a reading at that time and from she could tell (R89) wasn't breathing.

A while later she was at the nurse's station and V11 came to the nurse's station and reported to V15 several times that (R89) wasn't acting right and was slow to respond to them. V16 stated V11 is assigned to (R89's) hall and knows him well so she knew something must be wrong if she kept saying something was wrong with (R89.) A few minutes went by and V15 was still on the computer at the nurse's station at that time and wasn't going to assess (R89) so her and V12 went to assess (R89.) V16 stated she was halfway down the hall when a therapy employee (name unknown) came out of (R89's) and stated he's no longer responsive. V16 stated when she entered (R89's) he was in bed and eyes were closed. Her and V12 assessed (R89) by doing a sternal rub which he had no response to and the pulse oximetry machine wasn't displaying a reading at that time. R89's POS and MAR dated 2/2025, documents no 6:00 AM medication was ordered for that time. No medications were signed out by staffing including V16.

On 4/23/2025 at 12:45 PM V2, DON stated when a resident has a change in condition he expects staff to obtain vital signs including blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation and respirations. He also expects the nurse to assess the resident from head to toe noting any abnormalities. The nurse should talk to the resident and see what their orientation status is to see if there is a change in baseline. The nurse should also assess the resident for pain and dizziness and to notify the physician of what the assessment was and to obtain orders from the physician. V2 stated the full change in medical condition assessment including vital signs is expected to be documented in the resident's nurse progress notes. V2 recalled (R89) and stated he was sent to the emergency room for his catheter at one point but he was readmitted to the facility the same day and he didn't recall any specifics of

On 4/25/2025 at 11:40 AM V1, Administrator stated she expects staff to follow facility policies and procedures for when a resident experiences a change in medical condition. On 4/23/2025 at 9:50 AM, V21 Nurse Practitioner stated she assessed (R89) on 2/21/2025 at the facility and he was sitting up in bed and was alert and oriented to person, time, place and situation and he told her he was struggling to walk but should be getting therapy soon so he hoped he gets better so he can go home. V21 assessed (R89's) and noted his lower extremities and left arm were swollen at that time. She ordered the following labs: CBC, CMP, BMP and a doppler to his left arm at that time and doesn't know if the facility got the order completed or not, she hasn't seen the blood work or the doppler results in (R89's) medical record. V21 stated although she didn't order the labs and doppler STAT (immediately) she expected staff to order the blood work and doppler the same day and to get the results as soon as possible. When staff report to a nurse that a resident isn't acting himself or is out of it she expects the assigned nurse to assess the resident immediately and to obtain vital signs including blood pressure, heart rate, respirations and pulse oxygenation and to check on the orientation of the resident at that time to see if he's had a change in medical condition. After the nurse assesses the resident they should call the physician and report the findings to see what if any interventions or new physician's orders are applicable. After the nurse completes the assessment on the resident if she thinks the resident should be 911 be transported to the emergency room then she can do that without a physician's order but after the resident is transferred to the hospital the nurse should call the physician's office and give them an update on the resident's medical status. V21 stated there is no documentation in the physician's medical record that (R89's) nurse notified the physician's office of the resident's change in medical condition. 2.

Residents Affected - Few
R66's Care Plan, revision dated of 3/6/25, documented left heel 'mushy'. R66's Care Plan intervention, initiated on 3/7/25, documented Left multipodus boot to be worn at all times. R66's MDS, dated [DATE], documented she was not at risk for pressure ulcer and did not have any pressure ulcers at that time. On 5/21/25, at 10:06 AM, R66 was seated in a wheelchair (w/c) at the nurse's station near the bird cage. R66 was wearing blue colored crocs with fur-type lining and pink socks. She was not wearing a pressure relieving boot on her left foot. On 5/21/25, from 10:07 AM until 12:06 PM, R66 remained in the small dining room for activities and then for lunch. She continued to wear crocs on both feet and was not wearing a pressure relieving boot on her left foot. At 1:05 PM, V41, CNA, was coming out of R66's room. R66 was sitting in her room in her w/c wearing crocs and socks. After asking R66 if I could see her heels, and she agreed, V41 assisted by removing R66's shoes off the left and right feet and removed R66's socks. R66's left heel was darkened, and she said it was sore. V41 placed R66's socks on both her feet and then placed a blue pressure relieving boot onto R66's left foot. V41 stated to R66, That will make it feel better. On 5/27/25, V22, Wound Nurse, stated that R66 should have skin prep to her left heel and the use of the boot for pressure relieving measure. V22 stated that the goal of the interventions is to prevent breakdown. V22 stated that R66's boot should be worn while out of bed and while also in bed if the heels are not being floated.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to assess, timely treat pressure ulcer infection, and provide pressure relief, to prevent pressure ulcer development and worsening of pressure ulcers for 3 of 6 residents (R6, R29, R66) reviewed for pressure ulcers in the sample of 67. On 12/27/2024, R6 acquired a deep tissue injury from pressure to his left shoulder which opened to a Stage IV, exposing tendon. On 1/10/2025, (R6) acquired another deep tissue injury, unstageable, from pressure to right hip which opened to Stage IV pressure ulcer exposing hardware on his right hip. Subsequently, (R6's) pressure ulcers worsened and (R6) was admitted to the hospital with pressure ulcer infection from 2/28/2025 3/14/2025 with osteomyelitis. This failure resulted in Immediate Jeopardy on 12/13/2024 when R6, who is severely contracted and in fetal position, has a history of pressure ulcers and is at high risk for pressure injuries. (R6's) low air loss mattress malfunctioned on 12/13/2024, which caused him to lay on the metal frame with no pressure reducing device for the prevention of bedsore. On 12/27/2024, (R6) acquired a deep tissue injury which Wound Nurse Practitioner, V13, stated was from the facility not providing adequate pressure relief and from the low air loss mattress malfunctioning. From 12/27/2025 until 1/17/25, the facility did not follow the order from wound consultant for the left shoulder pressure ulcer. On 1/10/2025, (R6's) acquired an additional deep tissue injury, unstageable, to his right hip from pressure. (R6) was seen by Wound Nurse with pressure ulcers worsening and opening to Stage IV pressure

ulcers, exposing tendon on his left shoulder and hip hardware on his right hip. On 2/28/2025, due to the decline in (R6's) pressure ulcer and possible infection in (R6's) left shoulder, V13 ordered (R6) be sent to hospital. (R6) remained in the hospital from [DATE] through 3/14/2025 and diagnosed with osteomyelitis. (R6) returned to the facility on 3/14/25 and had an order for IV antibiotic to be administered for 7 days. The MAR documented R6 did not receive the antibiotic for 3 of the 7 days prescribed. On 4/9/25, V50, Nurse Practitioner, concerned with possible infection in (R6's) pressure ulcer, ordered a culture. This culture was not obtained until 4/17 and not reported to V50 until 4/24/25 at which time, the lab indicated infection. V50 ordered PICC line placement for (R6) to administer antibiotics. The facility failed to gain venous access until 4/29/25, at which time antibiotic was started. V50, NP, stated the delay in treatment of the wound infection could cause R6 sepsis which could result in organ shutdown resulting in death. On 5/9/2025 at 10:44 AM V1, Administrator, V2 Director of Nursing DON and V3 Assistant Director of Nursing ADON were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy. The surveyors confirmed by observation, interview and record review, the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 5/20/25, after the team attempted to validate abatement on 5/13 and 5/14/25, and 5/20/25, and observed that residents (R6, R51, and R59) at high risk for skin breakdown were lying on low air loss mattresses that were not set to the appropriate weight setting of each resident. On 5/20/25, at 12:10 PM, the survey team validated the facility's abatement but noncompliance remains at Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the facility's in-service training, ongoing assessment, monitoring of pressure relieving equipment and pressure ulcer monitoring.
Findings include: 1. R6's Undated Face Sheet, documents he was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including osteomyelitis, stage IV pressure ulcer to sacrum, stage IV left upper back pressure ulcer, stage IV right hip pressure ulcer, pressure induced deep tissue damage, paraplegia, hyperglycemia and contractures of both knees. R6's Physician's Order Sheet (POS) dated 10/10/2024 documents pressure relieving low air loss mattress to bed and pressure relieving cushion to wheelchair every shift for pressure relieving devices to protect skin. R6's Annual MDS, dated [DATE], documents severely cognitively impaired, dependent with toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, personal hygiene, dependent with rolling left and right and chair/bed-to-chair transfers, incontinent of bowel and bladder, at risk for developing pressure ulcers, one stage III pressure ulcers, pressure reducing device for chair and bed, pressure ulcer/injury care treatment, application of nonsurgical dressings, applications of ointments/medications other than to feet. R6's POS, dated 12/1/2024 documents the following active physician's orders: 10/12/2023 document weekly skin assessment every Monday day shift and 7/9/2024 waffle boots on when in bed every shift pressure release. 6/11/2024 apply pillows between left and right legs and thighs every shift for positioning. 10/10/2024 pressure relieving low air loss mattress to bed and pressure relieving cushion to wheelchair every shift for pressure relieving devices to protect skin. Notify MD/DON/Wound Nurse if he has or c/o (complaint of) any excoriated and/or open areas.

observed (R6) laying on the air loss mattress with no air in the head of the bed and she spoke to V13, Wound Consultant about her concerns but (R6) continue to lay in the broken air mattress bed. R6's Wound Nurse Practitioner Progress Note, dated 12/19/2024, documents (R6) was removed off the low air loss mattress last week due to his wound continuing to decline. Patient is contracted and lies on fetal position and on the low air loss mattress this potentially place him on the frame depending on the level of inflation that the bed is set to. We placed them on a regular mattress so he would stop sinking into the bed however this week he now has two new wounds. I did discuss with V2, DON that maybe we could place a thinner foam on the bed frame and then a low air loss mattress which would help reduce pressure to the area if the mattress deflated enough to where he's putting pressure on the frame. Also discuss with V2 the need for frequent turning and repositioning. Stage 3 pressure ulcer to right trochanter wound 3 initial assessment measured 3.5 cm x 2.1 cm x 0.2 cm wound bed 60% granulation and 40% slough. Stage 3 pressure ulcer to right shoulder wound 4 initial assessment measured 1.5 cm x 5.5 cm x 0.2 cm wound bed 30% granulation and 70% skin intact. 5/1/2025 at 3:25 PM V32, Maintenance Director stated there was a situation with R6's low air loss mattress and he wasn't here at that time but he recalled it was in December 2024 that maintenance staff reported to him that the resident's air loss mattress was found to be faulty, all the air was out of the mattress and the resident lay in a concave hole in the middle of the bed and the resident was laying on bedframe. Staff told him the mattress needs to be replaced and it was replaced the same day. He replaced several low air loss mattresses for the resident due to staff not pushing the static mode button to the off position when the resident is in the prone position. Observation showed at that time that the static mode button was in the on position, and it should have been off, V32 turned it to the off position. V32 stated when the resident's head of bed is elevated the static mode should be in the ON position because if not it doesn't distribute the air in the air loss mattress properly. V32 stated he has replaced R6's low air loss mattress at least 4 times in the last 2 years because it just wears out after time. On 5/8/2025 at 9:30 AM V32, Maintenance Director stated they don't document work orders when they change out resident's bed even if they are faulty. V32 didn't know what dates (R6's) air loss mattress was malfunctioning or when (R6) had a regular pressure relieving mattress. On 5/8/2025 at 9:45 AM V22, Wound Nurse stated she doesn't know what dates (R6's) air loss mattress wasn't working properly or when he lay on a regular mattress. R6's Wound Nurse Practitioner Progress Note, dated 12/27/2024 documents a new Unstageable pressure ulcer on left shoulder measured 0.9 cm x 1.5 cm x 0.1 cm. Treatment: skin prep, paint wound edges and surrounding skin. Visit specific information: Patient is still on a regular mattress and his wounds are improving this week. This was the suspicion that patient just needed better off flowing and not necessarily the low air loss mattress which was sinking him into the frame of the bed. Due to patient's falling (means balling) up in the fetal position it is highly likely that he needs offloading more frequently. R6's POS dated 12/27/24 through 12/31/20242024 documents no physician's order for skin prep. R6's TAR, dated 12/27/2025 through 12/31/2025 no documentation staff administered skin prep to (R6's) unstageable left shoulder pressure ulcer.

Residents Affected - Some 6. R31's Diagnoses Report, print date of 5/27/25, documents he has diagnoses of need for assistance with personal care, hemiplegia and hemiparesis following unspecified cerebrovascular disease affecting left non-dominant side, and cerebral infarction. R31's Care Plan, with revisions dated 12/21/21, documented (R31) has an ADL (Activities of Daily Living) self-care deficiency r/t (related to) CVA (stroke with left sided weakness, activity intolerance, confusion and fatigue. The Care Plan, interventions with revision on 8/16/23 documented Toilet Use: x2 extensive assist with toileting. Assist with dressing change and peri care after all toileting and incontinent episodes. The interventions documented Transfer x2 extensive assist with transfers. R31's MDS, dated [DATE], documented he has impairment on one side of lower extremities (hip, knee, ankle, foot). The MDS documents that R31 is dependent for toilet transfer as helper does ALL of the effort, Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity. On 5/14/25, at 12:50 PM, V6, CNA, stated that she was going to assist R31 to the toilet. V6 entered R31's room. R31 was seated in his wheelchair. V6 pushed R31 into the bathroom. She placed a gait belt around R31's waist. V6 directed R31 to stand up and he did so independently without assistance. She told him to grab both handicap rails on the wall to each side of the toilet. He did this. At this time, his right leg began to shake, as he faced the toilet. She cued him to grab the handicap bar to the right of the toilet, which he did. R31 was having difficulty moving his right and left legs to pivot to the right to sit on the toilet. V6 verbally cued him multiple times. He finally pivoted enough and then he fell heavy onto the toilet seat and sighed. On 5/27/25, at 12:57 PM, V2, DON, stated that he was unsure of R31's transfer status.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to properly supervise, develop and implement progressive intervention to prevent falls and provide safe transfers for 6 of 6 residents (R22, R31, R43, R46, R69, R72) reviewed for accidents in a sample of 67. This failure led to R69 having multiple visits to the emergency room and receiving a closed non-displaced fracture of right ilium, 0.5 cm laceration to right eyebrow, a laceration to the forehead, and bruising to face on 3 separate occasions.
Findings include: 1. R69's EMR (Electronic Medical Records) undated documents that resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R69's EMR dated 11/22/23 documents a diagnosis of epilepsy, history of falling, and unspecified convulsions. R69's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 1/30/25 documents a BIMS score of 11 out of 15.

This has the potential to affect all 90 residents living in the Facility.
Findings include: On 4/24/25 at 10:38 AM, R22 stated the activity dining area has been cool in the mornings. On 4/24/25 at 10:45 AM, R15 stated the activity dining area has been cool in the mornings. On 4/24/2025 at 10:58 AM, V25, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated the activity dining area is a little chilly some days. On 4/24/25 at 2:30 PM, V32, Maintenance Supervisor, stated the heat does not work in the activity dining room and has not worked at all during the two years he has worked here. He stated the surrounding heaters help warm the room, so it might get up to 60 degrees (Fahrenheit) in there even when it is 0 degrees (F) outside. He stated, You can try to turn the heat on, but it just won't work. On 4/24/2025 at 11:05 AM, V26, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Coordinator, went to the soiled utility room between the 200 and 300 halls and tried to flush the hopper multiple times. The water in the basin would flush partially, but did not fully empty. V26 stated the hopper must be clogged, and she will make sure maintenance is aware. V26 then went to the soiled utility room between the 500 and 600 halls where water was dripping from the faucet into the hopper. V26 stated V32 was aware of the leak. On 4/24/25 at 2:30 PM, V32 entered the soiled utility room between the 200 and 300 halls. V32 flushed the hopper, and most of the water in the basin went down the drain, but not all of it. He stated all of the liquid should go down the drain because it is basically a toilet. He flushed several more times for a total of five flushes. There was a drip of water coming out of the faucet. V32 stated he needed to work on it, and the other hopper usually works better. V32 then walked to the soiled utility room between the 500 and 600 halls. V32 flushed the hopper, and there was a drip of water coming from the faucet. He stated he needed to put a seal on the cold water faucet handle. On 4/24/25 at 2:30 PM, V32 stated there are leaks in the roof and they probably need a new roof, but they are out of warranty and it probably comes down to money. He pointed to the ceiling outside room [ROOM NUMBER]. The ceiling was peeling off in places with brown water stains measuring approximately two square feet. V32 stated the roof leaks with heavy rain which is about five times per year. V32 then went to the mechanical room where there was peeling tape across the ceiling above the hot water heater which he said is due to the roof leaking. On 4/29/2025 at 10:34 AM, the shower in R45's room did not have a shower head. The faucet was turned on, but no water came out. On 4/29/2025 at 12:45 PM, V45, R45's Family, stated the shower in R45's room does not work and have never worked since R45 was been admitted to the facility.
