F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident's right to dignity while dining for R20, and by staff talking on cell phones during resident care for R8, R43, and R58. These failures affected four out of 29 residents (R20, R8, R43, and R58) reviewed for dignified care on the sample list of 31. Findings include:1.) R20's current diagnosis list documents the following diagnoses: Pain in right shoulder; Poly-osteoarthritis, unspecified; Other injury of unspecified body region (unidentified-R20 does have a left-hand amputation noted on observation below); Alzheimer's disease, unspecified; Personal history of other diseases of the circulatory system; Weakness; and [NAME] syndrome (a rare neurological syndrome that affects the eye and surrounding area on one side of the face).R20's current Physician Order Sheet documents the following: regular diet, regular texture, thin-consistency liquids.R20's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R20 has severe cognitive impairment and requires: Eating: The ability to use suitable utensils to bring food and/or liquid to the mouth and swallow food and/or liquid once the meal is placed before the resident. Supervision or touching assistance - helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as the resident completes the activity. Assistance may be provided throughout the activity or intermittently.The same MDS documents R20 requires: Personal hygiene: The ability to maintain personal hygiene, including combing hair, shaving, applying makeup, washing/drying face and hands (excludes baths, showers, and oral hygiene). Partial/moderate assistance helper does LESS THAN HALF the effort. Helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the effort.R20's Care Plan dated 6/27/25 documents R20 is at risk for altered nutrition and self-feeds with cueing in the assisted dining room for supervision with meals.On 9/21/25 between 12:10 p.m. and 12:20 p.m., R20 sat in the resident feeding-assistance dining room, in a wheelchair, feeding herself with her right hand. R20's left hand was amputated above the wrist. The wheelchair was locked. The armrests of the wheelchair were approximately one foot from the table. There were no staff members seated at the half-moon-shaped feeding-assistance table. Two cognitively impaired residents were seated at the same table eating.R20 had a regular plate and regular tableware, without any modification device to promote successful self-feeding. R20's plate contained a regular diet consisting of pork loin pieces, rice, and spinach greens, and there was an empty, regular, unlidded plastic beverage glass. R20's right hand and fingers were covered with rice and spinach. She did not receive physical or verbal assistance from staff, though several unidentified staff members intermittently walked by her.R20 had rice and spinach on her bilateral cheeks and multiple grains of rice stuck to and dangling from the tip of her nose. The tabletop surrounding her regular plate had copious amounts of food that extended approximately six inches around the outer edge of the plate. The plate was approximately seventy-five percent emptied.The thigh area of R20's slacks was smothered in rice pieces, greens, and pork pieces, which extended to the seat of her wheelchair. R20's clothing protector had a trail of (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 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete food approximately eight inches wide, extending from the neckline over her chest and down to her abdomen and slacks. There was spilled clear fluid and food around and under her wheelchair on the floor.On 9/21/25 at 12:21 p.m., this surveyor asked V4, Restorative/MDS Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), if R20 was supposed to be provided assistance with dining. V4 stated, No, she can eat by herself. She is in the resident assistive dining room for supervision only. It doesn't look like she got much supervision today, by the way her clothes are covered in food. V4 then stated, (R20) does not use any assistive devices. It would probably benefit her to have a plate guard or something to prevent all the mess. I wouldn't want to sit like that.V4 then walked over to R20's chair and asked R20 if she could wipe her right hand off. R20 raised her hand but did not talk. V4 continued to clean R20's face and clothes, then assisted R20 out of the dining room.On 9/21/25 at 12:25 p.m., V5, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), stated R20 does not get assistance with dining and that She pushes our hand away. V5 also stated, Yes, that is a dignity issue-to be covered in food like that.On 9/21/25 at 12:40 p.m., V4, LPN/MDS/Restorative, stated, I think we can do better to accommodate (R20's) dining needs. I will find out what would work best for her. I would say by the amount of food on her clothes and face, it is a dignity issue. The right plate guard may make the difference so we can still foster her independence.2.) The facility's Resident Council Minutes dated 08/21/25 document the following: Residents are tired of CNA's (Certified Nursing Assistants) on their phones while providing care.R8's MDS dated [DATE] documents a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15/15, indicating no cognitive impairment.R43's MDS dated [DATE] documents a BIMS score of 13/15, indicating no cognitive impairment.R58's MDS dated [DATE] documents a BIMS score of 15/15, indicating no cognitive impairment.R74's MDS dated [DATE] documents a BIMS score of 14/15, indicating no cognitive impairment.On 09/22/25 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:50 a.m., R8, R43, R58, and R74 all stated Agency Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are still (since the Resident Council minutes dated 8/21/25) providing resident care in resident rooms while talking on their cell phones.On 9/22/25 at 12:32 p.m., V10, Registered Nurse, stated she has had to direct some Agency CNAs to stay off their phones when providing resident care. V10 stated, I have had it happen a couple times recently. This is a dignity issue. If the CNAs are talking on the phone during care, they are not talking to the residents. That is rude and unacceptable. This is supposed to be resident-centered care. I have interrupted care because of this situation a lot previously. Recently a couple times. It has gotten better but should not be happening at all.On 9/23/25 at 9:05 a.m., V9, Activity Director, confirmed the Resident Council group continues to report concerns about CNAs being on the phone while performing care.The facility provided the Illinois Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program Residents' Rights for People in Long-Term Care Facilities pamphlet, revised November 2018, which documents the following: As a long-term care resident in Illinois, you are guaranteed certain rights, protections and privileges according to state and federal law. As an individual living in a long-term care facility, you retain the same rights as every citizen of Illinois and of the United States. The following regulations provide clarity on specific rights granted to residents living in long-term care facilities.Your rights to dignity and respect: You have a right to make your own choices. Your facility must treat you with dignity and respect and must care for you in a manner that promotes your quality of life.

This failure affected four of 29 residents (R8, R43, R58 and R74) reviewed for resident rights on the sample list of 31.Findings include: R8's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R8's Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 out of a possible 15, indicating no cognitive impairment.R43's MDS dated [DATE] documents R43's BIMS Score of 13 out of a possible 15, indicating no cognitive impairment.R58's MDS dated [DATE] documents R58's BIMS Score of 15 out of a possible 15, indicating no cognitive impairment.R74's MDS dated [DATE] documents R74's BIMS Score of 14 out of a possible 15, indicating no cognitive impairment.On 09/22/2025 at 10:30 am - 11:50 am during a resident group meeting that R8, R43, R58 and R74 attended, R43 stated This morning at 3:00 am agency staff got me (R43) up, cleaned me up for the day, dressed me, then put me back to bed. R43 said R43 told them, R43 did not want to get up for the day, dressed for the day, and did not want to sleep in clothes. R58 stated that the agency people don't know the residents and don't realize this is the residents' home. They think we get up when they want us to. No matter what we say. I have to insist they let me stay in bed until at least 6:00 am.R8 and R74 both stated the agency staff get them up according to the agency staff schedule, not their desired time. R8 then added We hear all the time this is our home, it doesn't feel like it, when agency staff come in to get us up.On 9/22/25 at 1:25 pm V2, Director of Nursing confirmed residents have a right to determine their own sleep schedule.

F 0585 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances. Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to respond to a resident grievance in a timely manner, for one of four residents (R58) reviewed for grievances in the group meeting, on the sample list of 31.Findings include: On 09/22/2025 at 10:30 am - 11:50 am during the resident group meeting. R58 sat in a wheelchair without a shoe on her left foot. R58 stated she had filed a grievance by sending a letter to V1, Administrator within the last month.

I still can't wear a shoe and the Administrator never responded to the letter.On 9/24/25 at 3:25 pm V1, Administrator provided an undated, handwritten grievance letter from R58. V1 confirmed the letter had been written by R58, and was given to V1, Administrator within the last several weeks. V1 also confirmed she had not put this grievance on her grievance log and therefore had not followed up with Nursing to figure out a resolution to R58's pains and inability to wear a shoe on her left foot. R58's undated, handwritten letter documented the grievance and explained that R58 has not been able to wear a shoe on her left foot because of pain in her left, pinky toe. R58 further explained in the letter that she had pain when standing on the mechanical stand lift and does not want to be downgraded to the use of a full mechanical lift for transfers. R58 letter documents that on 5/8/25, R58 was seen by a podiatrist outside the facility, who diagnosed the pinky toe as an ulcer, in the location a previous corn that had been removed. After seeing podiatrist regarding her ulcer on left, pinky toe- she continued to suffer from pain from the toe. R58 documented the ulcer has not healed.

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to report an injury of unknown origin to the administrator and the state survey agency for one of one resident (R6) reviewed for abuse in the sample list of 31. Findings include: The facility's Abuse Prohibition Policy dated 8/25/25 documents injuries of unknown origin will be immediately reported to the administrator and the administrator will notify the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). R6's Emergency Department Note dated 8/15/25 at 5:27 PM documents R6 presented with shortness of breath and chest discomfort described as constant pressure that worsens with inspiration. R6's Chest Computed Tomography (CT) dated 8/5/25 at 7:18 PM documents Likely acute/recent T10 compression fracture with approximately 25% central vertebral body height loss. Other chronic compression fractures are demonstrating similar height loss relative to the CT from 10/20/2022. R6's Hospital admission History and Physical dated 8/5/25 documents R6's hospital admission diagnoses included Acute/recent T10 fracture and neurosurgery was consulted for further evaluation. R6's Neurosurgery Note dated 8/5/25 documents R6 has a T10 compression fracture thought to be newer. R6 is alert and oriented to person, place, time and situation; and R6 reported having chronic back pain that increased over the last few months. R6 denied any recent trauma other than a hematoma to her right lower leg caused from getting her leg caught between her dresser and bed. R6's Thoracic Spine X-ray dated 9/11/25 documents compression deformity of endplate of T11 (previously reported as T10), which has not significantly changed from prior radiographs and CT. Chronic compression deformity of T8 also noted. R6's Neuroscience Progress Note dated 9/11/25 documents R6 was evaluated for T11 fracture identified on R6's x-ray, and there is another old fracture higher up. This note documents that sometimes cement injection is done, but R6 is too far down the line for that and R6 isn't a surgical candidate. Recommendation made for R6 to return in four weeks with a follow up x-ray. R6's ongoing diagnoses log documents the facility added WEDGE COMPRESSION FRACTURE OF UNSPECIFIED THORACIC VERTEBRA, SUBSEQUENT ENCOUNTER FOR FRACTURE WITH ROUTINE HEALING on 8/14/25. The facility's abuse log does not document any allegations of abuse or injury of unknown origin after 7/18/25. On 9/22/25 at 10:20 AM R6 confirmed compression fracture of vertebrae identified at hospital in August 2025. R6 stated R6 was unsure what caused the fracture and denied that she had any recent falls or incidents that could have caused this type of injury. On 9/22/25 at 2:46 PM V2 Director of Nursing confirmed R6's acute compression fracture was not reported to IDPH. On 9/23/25 at 4:00 PM V2 stated V2 thought R6's compression fracture was previously noted and was not new, she will look for documentation to provide for this. On 9/24/25 at 8:30 AM V2 stated she was not able to find any other documentation to show that R6's compression fractures were old and previously documented. At 11:10 AM V2 stated V1 Administrator was not aware of R6's acute compression fracture either, V1 and V2 both thought the fracture noted in September was old, due to the report. V2 stated we weren't aware of the acute fracture found during R6's August 2025 hospitalization. On 9/24/25 at 11:15 AM V1 confirmed V1 was not aware of R6's compression fracture identified during R6's August 2025 hospitalization. V1 stated V1 and V2 were only aware of R6's compression fracture identified when R6 was transferred to the hospital in September for low back pain, but the report identified it as being an old fracture. V1 confirmed the acute fracture noted in R6's 8/5/25 hospital records should have been considered an injury of unknown origin and should have been reported to V1 and IDPH.

On 9/22/25 at 10:00AM V16 Registered Nurse administered wound treatment to R6's buttocks and reapplied R6's incontinence brief. R6 had raw areas to inner buttocks, with two small areas that were bleeding. R6's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R6 is cognitively intact, always incontinent of bowel and bladder, and requires dependence on staff for toileting. R6's Physician Order dated 9/20/25 documents to clean Moisture Associated Skin Damage (MASD) to bilateral buttocks with soap and water, pat area dry, skin protectant to peri wound, apply calcium alginate to wound and cover with hydrocolloid dressing. R6's Nursing Note dated 8/3/2025 documents at 7:00 PM R6 somehow managed to pinch her leg between the wheelchair and her bed while alone in her room. At 7:30 PM there was a large bump, similar to a blood blister, that measured approximately 3 inches by 2 inches. At 9:00 PM the bump on R6's leg was slightly larger and measured 9 centimeters by 5.5 centimeters. R6's active care plan does not include problem, goals, and interventions to address R6's incontinence and R6's accident/injury with the electric wheelchair. On 9/23/25 at 2:20 PM V19 stated V19 entered MASD and surgical wound on R6's care plan. V19 and V4 MDS Coordinator confirmed R6's care plan does not include problem, goals, and interventions for R6's incontinence and accident/injury. 2.)

V2 stated V2 questions the accuracy of R45's weights during that time frame, due to staff observed obtaining unidentified resident weights while resident is holding onto the scale or with a foot on the floor, which alters the weight. V2 stated V2 had provided staff training on obtaining accurate weights, but has no documentation of this. V2 confirmed R45 should have been reweighed to verify the accuracy of R45's weights and weight loss. The facility's Recording Nutritional Intake/Calorie Counts policy dated August 2019 documents The intake of adequate nutrition is key to maintaining functional status and optimal nutritional health. In the elderly appetite can change suddenly with little warning, resulting in weight loss and compromised nutritional status. Therefore the nutritional intake should be documented in (EMR software) daily. The nutritional intake documentation is located in (EMR software), under the task tab for each resident. Intake for each resident is completed thru a kiosk or Point of Care device by designated staff members. The facility's Weight Management Policy and Procedure dated 2023 documents: Each resident will be weighed at least once a month on a predetermined schedule. All residents will be monitored for significant weight changes to assure maintenance of acceptable parameters of body weight. Weights may be obtained more frequently than monthly if warranted based on resident condition or physician order. Residents will be weighed using the same scale and in a consistent manner unless clinical condition warrants the use of a different scale or an altered manner. A change in scale or method will be noted if this occurs. A resident with a weight fluctuation of greater than five pounds(+ or-) will be re- weighed for accuracy. The new weight will be recorded in the medical record.

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 repeatedly failed to follow a physician order to discontinue the administration of a medication, for one of five residents (R69) reviewed for unnecessary medications on the sample list of 31.Findings include:R69's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] documents R69's Brief Interview of Mental Status score as three out of a possible 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment.R69's Medication Administration Sheet (MAR) dated 9/1/25- 9/30/25 documents: Nuedexta (can cause excessive drowsiness), Oral Capsule 20-10 MG (Dextromethorphan HBr-Quinidine Sulfate), Give 1 capsule by mouth every morning, and at bedtime for the diagnoses of Pseudobulbar Disease (neurological disorder, uncontrolled laughter, crying and involuntary movements). This Physician order documents to start R69's Nuedexta 11/19/2024. R69's MARs for May, June, July, and August also documents R69 received Nuedexta every morning and at bedtime.R69's Quarterly Medication assessment dated [DATE] documents no involuntary movements, excessive drowsiness, crying, or laughing outburst.The facility pharmacy sent a request dated 05/20/25, to R69 providers to consider discontinuing R69 Nuedexta medication. The pharmacy request documented Resident that has been taking the medication above since November 2024. CMS is not specific regarding a GDR (Gradual dose reduction) for Nuedexta (neurological medication), but since the medication is being utilized for psychotropic reasons (outburst of crying, and laughing), please reassess for continued use. V20, Nurse Practitioner response I have documented that assessment. No Pseudobulbar Affect Behaviors. I have No plans to resume Nuedexta.On 9/21/25 during initial tour 8:30 am -9:30 am, and throughout the survey 9/21-9/24/25, R69 sat in a geriatric chair, alert and pleasantly conversing with staff, surveyor, and other residents in the main common areas on the north pod of the facility. R69 did not show any signs of excessive tearfulness, uncontrolled laughter, sedation, or neurological involuntary movements, for which Nuedexta was ordered.On 9/24/25 at 12:00 pm V18, Nurse Practitioner (NP) stated (R69's) Nuedexta order should have been discontinued 5/20/25 or at least clarified by the facility nurses. I do not feel there was any harm or a potential for harm. I have known (R69) in the past. Her Pseudobulbar symptoms were present for a long time. She had been on Nuedexta for a long time before she admitted to the facility. There has not been any negative outcome, she has no indication of sedation. If anything, this medication, together with her other medications have been a benefit. I am not going to make any changes to the Nuedexta order, at this time. (V20, Nurse Practitioner) will be back in the facility Monday (9/29/25). She is off right now related to a family members health issue. She (V20, NP) and I (V18, NP), together will review this. I believe (R69) would benefit from continuing Nuedexta, just knowing (R69) and her, current status. She is doing great. I remember in the past when she was not. It shouldn't have happened ( Nuedexta been administered since 5/20/25). Pharmacy has reviewed her (R69) meds (medication) monthly since. (V20, NP) has also seen (R69) since 5/20/25. I know it was not discontinued (5/20/25), I can see that in (R69's) medical records. I just could not see anywhere that Neudexta, may have been re-instated. These are questions I have for (V20, NP).
