On 01/21/25 at 08:51 AM V4 (R1's Family Member) stated on 12/24/24, I reported my concerns to the administrator. I also let R1's nurse on duty know and she just sat there like there is nothing we can do. R1's mattress was not together, and I had to beg them to give R1 a bath. R1 has a tracheostomy but she can still take a bath. The incident was on day shift, and they had not done anything with R1's hair. R1 finally got her hair washed and her teeth was yellow. When they got R1 out of the bed and took R1 to the shower area you could see the imprint of her body. I smelled the mattress, and I can't describe the smell, it stunk. The mattress was supposed to be blue, but it was a different (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 0677 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 01/21/25 at 01:06 PM Surveyor asked V9 (Certified Nurse Assistant) to enter R1's and R6's room. V9 stated I did not take care of R1 on 12/24/24. When we care for a resident we wash them, do hair, nails, and oral care. I make sure that I wash the hair with a towel and comb through R1's hair. Surveyor asked V9 how she would describe R6's hair. V9 put on a pair of gloves and began touching R6's hair then responded, scabs are coming up; it is dry and some of the hair is like matted. V9 removed the gloves, went in the bathroom, washed her hands, and applied a pair of gloves and walked over to R1's bed. Surveyor asked V6 to describe how she (V9) observed R1's hair. V9 responded, R1's hair is matted, dry and probably can get unmatted if you wet and soften it up. On 01/21/25 at 01:13 PM Surveyor asked V10 (Agency Licensed Practical Nurse) to enter R1 and R6 room. Surveyor asked how she (V10) observed and would describe R6's hair. V10 stated R6 skin is dry and looks like cradle cap, looks a little matted and needs to be washed. V10 walked over to R1's bed and was asked to describe how she (V10) observed R1's hair. V10 responded, in the back R1's hair is matted and looks like it needs to be washed. On 01/21/25 at 01:22 PM V11 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated when doing resident care the certified nurse assistants comb hair, wash the face and do oral care. On 01/21/25 at 03:33 PM V13 (Agency Certified Nurse Assistant) stated I provide R1's ADL's. R1's hair is clustered together when I have seen her and taken that set. R1's hair is hard to comb and R1 makes faces when trying to change her or comb her hair. On 01/22/25 at 11:28 AM V15 (Agency Certified Nurse Assistant) stated I worked with R1 with another certified nurse assistant. When I first saw R1 I could tell the night shift did not do anything. R1 was wet from the night shift before. On 12/24/24 I went and washed R1, put grease on her hair because it was pushed up and I brushed it down. Before I combed R1's hair it was matted to her head, and I sprayed her hair with soap and water. R1's hair was so mated' it smelt. R1's hair is normally matted to her head. I don't know the words to describe it, but it was not a good smell. V4 (R1's Family Member) arrived right before lunch. R1 is alert to shake her head. I think that was R1's shower day and the mattress was not properly wiped down. R1 is bed bound and can't do anything. I stripped the bed, it smelt like R1 had not even been changed and the mattress smelt of urine and poop. On 01/22/25 at 09:23 AM R6 was observed in bed in a semi-Fowler_position with a tracheostomy tube connected to a ventilator dressed in a gown with enteral feeding infusing via a gastric tube.

On 01/22/25 at 12:07 PM V16 (Nurse Consultant) stated when I went to R1's/R6's room they were about to wash R6's hair. They had tried to comb R6's hair and it was getting ready to be shampooed. We were on it. R1's hair in the back of the head it was more like it was stuck to her head a little that is what I remember. We do not have a policy for shampooing and combing hair. On 01/22/25 at 12:57 PM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated when I went to see R6 they had started washing her hair and it was not as dry. R1's hair was tangled in the back; it was stuck together, and they had to pick it out. During a.m. care bathing is done, washing of the face, brushing teeth, (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145632 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 4 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 145632 B.
