Facility Electronic Mail correspondence, dated 1/17/24 at 1:12 pm, documents the Facility notification of R22's alleged Abuse investigation, that occurred on 1/3/24, to the local Health Department. R22's admission Record Face Sheet, dated 1/17/23, documents diagnoses including Parkinson, Osteoporosis, Left Foot Drop, Overactive Bladder, History of Falling, Unsteadiness on Feet, Difficulty Walking and Muscle Weakness. R22's Nursing Progress Note, dated 1/4/24, documents that, (R22) had an involuntary stool, which is abnormal for (R22). (R22) shared with (V7/Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) that an incident had occurred last night (1/3/24), with an unknown CNA. (R22) had been assisted into recliner but was not given (R22's) call light. (R22) waited on CNA to return to assist (R22) to bed but CNA (she) did not return so R22 put self to bed. (R22) could not lift legs into bed and pushed call light for assistance. A CNA came in and scolded R22 and proceeded to tell R22 that R22 should have been in bed already. The CNA said that she came in early to help out and it was not (her) job to put R22 to bed when 'second shifters' were standing around at desk. On 1/17/23 at 1:35 pm, R22 (alert and oriented) stated, On that night, a little after supper time, an Aide (CNA) came in to my room and helped me into my chair but did not leave me my call light, so after waiting a long time, I tried putting myself to bed, but I could not lift my legs in to the bed, but I was able to put on my call light, and a tall and slender Aide (CNA), came in and was not very nice at all to me. The Aide (CNA) was throwing stuff around and complaining to me about why I should have already been in bed. The Aide was very mean and kept scolding me. The next night, I told another Aide (V7/CNA) about it, but I have not heard anything from anyone about it, I do not know that they even did anything. On 1/17/24 at 2:34 pm, V4 (CNA) stated, I work a lot of overtime, by coming in early, because we (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145616 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 8 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 145616 B.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few are short all the time. I went in to (R22's) room on the night of 1/3/24. All the other 'CNAs' were just sitting around and not answering call lights, which was annoying to me, so I went in and (R22) had, had a small bowel movement, so I helped get her cleaned up and back into bed. I do not feel that I was mean to (R22). I was annoyed by the other staff sitting around though. On 1/17/24 at 2:10 pm, V6 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated, I was (R22's) nurse on 1/4/24, and (V7/CNA) came to me and told me that (R22) had complained about a possible abuse from a 'CNA,' from the night before. I am not sure who the 'CNA' is but, (R22) told (V7) that a 'CNA' was scolding (R22), but we are not sure which 'CNA' it was. I did put in a nursing note, but I may be forgot to tell (V1/Administrator/Abuse Coordinator) or any other boss. I normally would put in my nursing note that I notified (V1), but I must have, for some reason, not told anyone, I was probably busy that night. I should have told (V1) so they could investigate it and report it. On 01/18/24 at 8:52 am, V1 stated, I have been the Administrator for about six months now, and I am the Abuse Coordinator. I have in-serviced the staff at least three times on the Abuse Policy since I have been here in that position and they should have reported that incident (of 1/3/24) to me, they are all aware of what should be done. (V6) should know better. So, I just now reported it and started an investigation to the Department of Public Health last night (1/17/24). We should have been told about this incident at the time, so we could have thoroughly investigated it and reported it if we determined if it was abuse.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement appropriate interventions to prevent two falls out of bed for one (R46) of six residents reviewed for falls in a sample of 29. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Facility Fall Assessment and Management Policy, revised 4/2019, documents: it is the policy of the Facility to assess each Resident's fall risk on admission, quarterly and with each fall; this will help facilitate an interdisciplinary approach for care planning to appropriately monitor, assess and ultimately reduce injury risk; that factors related to the risk will be addressed and care planned; the interdisciplinary care plan will be person centered to reflect the specific needs and risk factors of the Resident; and interventions will be based on the fall risk assessment and the circumstances surrounding the risk for injury or actual injury or fall. The Facility Fall Log, undated, documents that R46 sustained a fall to the ground on 10/18/23 at 3:45 pm, and a fall on the floor on 11/16/23 at 2:15 pm. R46's current Care Plan, undated, documents that R46 is a fall risk and that R46 has a history of falls. R46's Minimum Data Set/MDS, Section C/Cognitive Patterns, dated 12/23/23, documents that R46 is never/rarely understood and cognitively is severely impaired. R46's Minimum Data Set/MDS, Section GG, dated 12/23/24, documents that R46 requires maximal assistance of staff with chair/bed transfers and rolling in bed. R46's Fall Details Report, dated 10/18/23 at 3:45 pm, documents: R46's fall on the floor in Resident (R46's) room; R46's cognition (oriented to person); R46's root cause of fall was determined that R46 was too close to the edge of the bed and R46 wiggled out onto the floor; the intervention was to educate the staff to make sure that R46 was laying in the center of the bed to prevent R46 from rolling on to the floor. R46's Fall Details Report, dated 11/16/23 at 2:15 pm, documents: R46's fall on the floor in Resident (R46's) room; R46's cognition (oriented to person); R46 was noted to be lying on the floor next to R46's bed; R46 requires two person staff assistance with transfers; an investigation and interviews determined that R46 rolled out of bed and sustained a head trauma/goose egg mid forehead to the center side of forehead; the intervention was to order a fall matt to be placed next to R46's bed and R46 was moved to a different room. On 1/28/24 at 2:15 pm, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated, Our intervention on the first fall was to make sure that (R46) was placed in the center of R46's bed, then R46 fell again out of bed. We probably should have re-evaluated that intervention, because on the second fall R46 fell out of bed also and the only intervention was to place R46 in the center of the bed. R46 had a history of falls from the bed, and at one point we even had (R46) in a low bed but (R46) quit falling, so we discontinued that intervention.
