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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide privacy and promote dignity for one of one resident [R105] reviewed for urinary catheter use on the sample list of 31. Residents Affected - Few Findings included: On 11/19/24 at 10:24 AM, R105's urinary catheter bag was hanging on the side of R105's bed, half filled with urine and visible from the hallway. The urinary catheter bag did not have a protective cover over the bag. R105 stated the [R105] is on the urinary catheter bag because of [R105's] wound. On 11/20/24 at 10:33 AM, interviewed V2 (Director of Nursing) and stated that urinary catheter bag placement should not be facing the door, and if it's facing the door, it should be inside of a bag for privacy. V2 stated that if the urinary catheter bag is exposed, it can potentially cause a dignity issue. R105's physician orders document in part: Indwelling Catheter Type: (urinary) Catheter Size: 16 FR, 10 cc (cubic centimeter) balloon Reason for use: Neurogenic Bladder (ordered 10/27/24). The facility's Privacy and Dignity policy dated 8/16/24 documents in part: It is the facility's policy to ensure that resident's privacy and dignity is respected by the staff at all times. Urine bags will be covered with the use of privacy bags. 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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. 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 ensure a low air loss mattress device was on the correct weight setting for one dependent resident (R105) of two residents with pressure ulcers on a sample list of 31 residents. Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: R105's clinical records show an admission date of 10/27/24 with included diagnoses not limited to Multiple Sclerosis and Stage 4 Pressure Ulcer. R105's physician orders read: Low Air Loss (LAL) Mattress ordered on 10/27/24. R105's skin care plan date initiated on 10/27/24 reads in part: R105 has a pressure injury on the sacral area with one intervention that reads, Check air mattress if functioning properly every shift and prn [as needed]. R105's weight shows 180 lbs dated 11/15/24. R105's Skin Risk assessment dated [DATE] shows a score of 10 (High Risk in developing a pressure ulcer). On 11/19/24 at 10:24 AM, R105's lying in bed alert and able to verbalize needs. Surveyor observed R105's low air loss mattress weight setting was set to 180 pounds (lbs). R105 stated [R105] has a wound above the tail bone area and is being seen by the wound care team. On 11/20/24 at 9:06 AM, V18 (Wound Care Coordinator/Registered Nurse) and V19 (Treatment Nurse/Licensed Practical Nurse both stated R105 came in with a stage 4 sacral pressure ulcer with wound treatment daily. Both stated R105's wound assessment scale (a tool used to assess risks of developing pressure ulcer) dated 11/11/24 is 10 which means R105 is high risk in developing pressure ulcer. Both stated R105 is on a low air loss mattress and supplements for wound healing. At 9:23 AM, R105's wound dressing was observed with V18 and V19. R105's wound dressing on the sacral area was intact. R105's low air loss mattress machine was observed set to 210 lbs. V18 stated that the purpose of the low air loss mattress is to offload the pressure point and alternates the weight of the resident to promote wound healing and prevention of developing pressure ulcer. V18 stated that the low air loss mattress should be set correctly and is based on the current weight of the resident. V18 stated nurses and wound care team should be monitoring and making sure that the low air loss mattress is in the correct setting and if it's in the wrong setting, the mattress could be so hard or so soft. For example, if it's in a low setting it's not doing its purpose and the resident will sink. At 9:33 AM, V18 checked R105's current weight recorded in the electronic health record and showed R105 weighed 180 lbs dated 11/15/24. V18 stated that R105's low air loss mattress weight setting should be set to 180 lbs. The facility's Specialized Mattress and Appropriate Layers of Padding policy dated 8/19/24 reads in part: use specialized air mattresses like Low Air Loss Mattress on residents with stage 3 and 4 pressure sores to ensure moisture, heat, and friction control.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to distinguish between a behavior slide versus a fall, and failed to follow their fall occurrence policy for one [R119] resident reviewed for falls on the sample list of 31 residents. Findings include: R119 's clinical record indicates the follow in part; R119 was admitted the medical diagnosis of cerebral infarction with hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting left dominant side, coronary angioplasty, ventricular tachycardia, cardiac implants, major depressive disorder, generalized weakness, anxiety, and alcohol abuse with withdrawal. R119's Minimum Data Set [MDS] section [ C] Brief interview Mental Status he scored [04] indicates R119 is moderately impaired. R119's care plan indicates the following: 8/9/24- R119 demonstrate cognitive impairment related to psychiatric disorder, history of substance abuse, impaired decision making, poor logic and poor ability to understand cause and effect. Poor judgement and awareness. 6/17/24- R119 has an impaired mobility. 8/6/23- R119 is at high risk for falls related to cognitive deficit, poor balance, limited mobility. 11/19/24- R119 has behavior of sliding onto the floor when experiencing any abdominal discomfort. [Behavior Care Plan was entered after care plan was requested by the state survey agency] On 11/19/24 at 10:43 AM, during initial interview with R82 in his room behind his privacy curtain by the window, surveyor heard a noise. Surveyor observed R82's roommate R119 on the floor next to his bed, with his head resting on the wheelchair's leg rest. Surveyor called for R119's nurse, V8 [Licensed Practical Nurse]. Surveyor explained to V8 that she heard a noise and observed R119 on the floor with his head on top of the wheelchair leg rest. On 11/19/24 at 10:45 AM, V8 [Licensed Practical Nurse] entered the room and moved the wheelchair off the mat to reach R119. V8 stated, I am not sure who placed the wheelchair next to R119's bed on his floor mat. I see his head was resting on the wheelchair leg. V8 asked surveyor if R119 hit his head on the wheelchair leg. Surveyor said, she did not witness the fall, but observed R119 head on top of the wheelchair's leg rest. V8 asked R119 if he hit his head, R119 did not respond. On 11/19/24 at 10:55 AM V8 stated, R119 has a behavior of sliding out of the bed. R119 did not fall out of bed, he slides out of bed. Surveyor asked V8, because the occurrence was not witnessed, how do she [V8] know it was a slide versus a fall. V8 stated, V2 [Director of Nursing] told the nursing staff that R119 has a behavior of sliding out of the bed, so it is not treated as a fall, it is documented as a behavior. Anytime R119 is observed on the floor, it is automatically documented as (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145634 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 16 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 145634 B.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm behavior slide. I will take R119 vital signs and notify the nurse practitioner and family member. R119 is confused and he is not able to communicate his needs. Nursing staff make frequent rounds on R119. Sometimes R119 responds to my questions, but I am not sure the answer is true, because R119 is very confused. R119 is not answering me today.' Residents Affected - Few Reviewed R119's progress note indicates in part: 11/19/24 at 10:53 V8 [ Licensed Practical Nurse] Note. R119 continues to slide out of bed onto the landing pad located on the floor next to his bed. R119 was removed from the floor by the certified nurse assistant and placed back in bed. R119 was redirected, re-oriented and re-educated on the importance of staying in bed and pressing his call button when needing assistance. Writer assessed R119, and he was clean and dry, vital signs within normal limits. Nurse practitioner and R119's family made aware. [There was no information regarding R119's head was on top of the wheelchair's leg, and no neurological assessment noted.] On 11/21/24 at 11:00 AM, V16 [Restorative Director/Registered Nurse] stated, I assist with fall interventions along with the director of nursing [V2]. A fall means rather if the resident intentionally or unintentionally falls on the floor. A fall is sometimes considered a change of plane. R119 is very confused and is a high fall risk. R119 has a behavior of sliding out of bed. If R119 is observed on his floor mat and he intentionally place himself there, then it is not a fall. R119 is very confused with a BIMS sore of 4, but he can make an intentional decision to get on the floor. If R119 is on the floor, it is always a behavior slide, the floor mat helps to reduce the risk of injury, it does not 100% eliminate injury. On 11/20/22 at 11:34 AM, V2 [Director of Nursing] stated, A fall is a change of plane. However, that rule does not apply to R119, because he slides out of bed, and it was considered a behavior. During the Behavior Committee Meeting on 1/18/24. The interdisciplinary team decided R119 had a behavior. The difference from a fall and a behavior slide is that the behavior slide is usually witness, but when R119 is observed on the floor, and no one witnesses him sliding to the floor, it is usually still a behavior slide. It is a fall when R119 is observed off the floor mat then it should consider a fall. R119 have not had any documented falls since 12/12/23 but had several bed slides. If R119 was observed on the floor next to his bed with his head resting on the wheelchair footrest, then V8 should have documented and treated the incident as a fall not a behavior slide. V8 should have started neurological assessments and completed risk management fall incident report. R119 needs a sitter by his bed side 24 hours per day. The facility is not able to provide a sitter. R119's family member cannot afford a sitter as well. Maybe this is not the right facility for R119, because we cannot provide one to one monitoring that he needs. I will in-service the staff between the difference between a fall versus a behavior slide. R119's care plan was updated on 11/19/24, that's why you don't see the behavior care plan dated for 1/18/24. I am not sure what happened to the original behavioral care plan. Policy: Fall Occurrence dated 7/26/24. If a resident had fallen, the resident is automatically considered a high risk for falls.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to follow R95 and R110's care plans by not administering the ordered oxygen flow rates, label R40's oxygen tubing, store R86's oxygen tubing while not in use and have oxygen signage for R399 for five out of a total sample of 31 residents. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: R40's admission Record documents in part a primary diagnosis of chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (low oxygen content in the blood). R40's Order Summary Report documents in part orders to change oxygen tubing every night shift every [Sunday] for infection control (active 10/03/2024) and oxygen continuous 2 [liters per minute] via nasal cannula every shift (active 10/03/2024). On 11/19/2024 at 11:18 AM, R40 was sitting in the common/dining room reading. R40 received 2 liters of oxygen via nasal cannula. The nasal cannula was not labeled and R40 did not recall the last time staff changed it. On 11/20/2024 at 10:42 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated the nasal cannula should be changed weekly or as needed. V2 stated whoever changes the nasal cannula should also label it. Reviewed facility's Oxygen Therapy and Administration policy, last revised on 8/16/2024. Under Procedure, it documents in part: Date your equipment. On 11/19/24 at 10:36 AM, Surveyor observed R95 lying in bed and using oxygen (O2) via nasal cannula (NC). R95 was not interviewable. R95's oxygen flow rate was set to 4 liters per minute (LPM). At 10:38 AM, Surveyor asked V20 (Agency Registered Nurse) to check R95's oxygen setting. V20 entered R95's room and verified R95's oxygen flow rate was set to 4LPM. On 11/19/24 at 10:55 AM, Surveyor observed R110 lying in bed and was using oxygen via nasal cannula. R110's oxygen flow rate was set to 4 LPM. R110 stated [R110] has sleep apnea and uses oxygen to help [R110] breath better. R110 stated R110 does not walk and needs staff assistance to get up from bed. At 10:59 AM, Surveyor asked V21 (Registered Nurse) to check R110's oxygen setting. V21 entered R110's room and verified R110's oxygen flow rate was set to 4LPM. V21 stated that R110's oxygen should be set to 3LPM. On 11/20/24 at 10:33 AM, interviewed V2 (Director of Nursing) and stated that the nurses are supposed to be monitoring that the resident's oxygen is in the right setting. V2 stated that O2 setting is based on the physician's order and should be followed for the effective use of the oxygen on the resident.

V12 came immediately out of the soiled utility room and entered the clean supply room and came out with an under brief and towel in her hands. Residents Affected - Some On 11/19/24 at 11:02 AM, V12 stated I removed soiled linen from a resident's bed that had urinated on the sheets and took the linen into the soiled utility room. Then I went into the clean supply room for an under brief and towel. I did not wash my hands I was rushing and forgot. I was supposed to place the soiled linen in a plastic bag, soon as I removed them from the bed and washed my hands. I should not have walked down the hallway with the soiled linen, due to infection control. I will go a wash my hands now. On 11/20/24 at 2:00 PM, V2 [Director of Nursing] stated, My expectation for handling soiled linen is when the linen is removed from the bed, the nursing staff should immediately place the linen into a plastic bag, then take the back to the soiled utility room. Then staff then should immediately wash their hands to prevent the spread of infection and or cross contamination between the soiled linen and clean linen from one resident to another. On 11/22/24 at 110:59 AM, V2 [Director of Nursing] via email said, the facility does not have policy for nursing staff handling linen. Policy: Infection Prevention and Control dated 7/31/24. Standard precautions Based on principle that all blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, may contain transmissible infectious agents. Infection prevention practices include hand hygiene, use of gloves, gown, mask. Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to follow their infection prevention and control policy by failing to don proper personal protective equipment, failing to handle soiled linen properly and failing to perform hand hygiene after handling soiled linen. These failures have the potential to affect all 45 residents residing on the one residental floor at the facility. Findings include: On 11/19/24 at 11:45 AM, there was orange signage for Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) posted on the outside of R77's door. On 11/19/24 at 11:47 AM, V12 (Certified Nursing Assistant) viewed the orange signage for Enhanced Barrier Precautions posted outside R77's room and stated that sign tells V12 that R77 is on Enhanced Barrier Precautions which means that when V12 goes into R77's room to provide direct resident care V12 wears a gown and gloves. V12 stated if V12 is only going into the room to drop something off such as R77's food tray and V12 is not going to touch the resident then V12 only has to use hand (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145634 If continuation sheet Page 14 of 16 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 145634 B.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some sanitizing solution before and after entering the room, no gown or gloves are required. V12 stated if R77 was on contact isolation, then there would be a different type of sign posted outside R77's room and then anytime V12 enters R77's room V12 would have to put on a gown, and gloves whether V12 is providing direct care or not. On 11/19/24 at 12:10 PM, V13 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated V13 reads the infection control signs posted outside the resident's rooms to see what type of isolation the resident is on. V13 stated R77 is on Enhanced Barrier Precautions. V13 stated when V13 is doing any activities of daily living requiring V13 to touch R77, then V13 puts on gloves and a gown but if V13 is only entering the room to deliver R77's meal tray or is not going to touch R77 then V13 does not need to put on any personal protective equipment, only hand hygiene before and after entering the room. On 11/19/24 at 12:27 PM, V13 entered R77's room carrying R77's lunch tray. V13 did not have on a gown or gloves.
