F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility repeatedly failed to ensure residents' right to be free from physical abuse of R8 by R9, R5 by R4, R12 by R11, and R13 by R9. R5, R8, R12 and R13, are four of 20 residents reviewed for abuse on the sample list of 25. Findings include:1.) R8's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R8's Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of six, out of a possible 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment . R8's same MDS documents R8 has had no delusions or hallucinations, and no behaviors directed towards self or others.R9's MDS dated [DATE] documents the following: R9's BIMS score of three out of a possible 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment. R9's same MDS documents R9 has had no delusions or hallucinations, and no behaviors directed towards self or others.The Facility Reported Incident (FRI) of 7/5/25/2601647 documents: Resident to Resident Physical Assault. The same FRI report documents the following: On 7/5/25 at 8:20 AM, (V4, Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) was pushing (R25)'s wheelchair down the hall.

(V4, CNA) went to move (R8) to the side, and while (V4, CNA) was moving (R8), (R9) approached (R8), and made contact with (R8)'s face.The facility Illinois Department of Public Health Initial dated 7/5/25, and corresponding Final Abuse Investigation Report, Resident to Resident Physical dated 7/10/25 documents the following conclusion:1. Based on the results of the investigation, the facility has found the following: a. Resident (R8) was seated in (R8's) wheelchair in the [NAME] unit hallway. b. Resident (R9) was observed walking by Resident (R8) and made contact with the left side of (R8's) face. c. Resident (R8) stated she was not upset by the alleged occurrence. (R8's interview was conducted 7/7/25, two days after the physical abuse occurred. R8's BIMs score documented above indicates R8 has severe cognitive impairment)d. Resident (R9) does not recall the alleged occurrence. (R9's interview was conducted 7/7/25, two days after the physical abuse occurred. R9's BIM's score documented above indicates R9 also has severe cognitive impairment).On 9/5/25 at 9:30 am V4 CNA stated V4 was the CNA that witnessed R9 hit R8 in the face. V4, CNA stated (R9) smacked (R8) in the face, hurting her eye. I (V4, CNA) immediately separated them and reported to the (V1, Administrator/Abuse Prevention Coordinator. (R9) was a one-on-one (individual staff supervision) the rest of the day. (R8)'s face was not red but her eye was, probably because she was rubbing it. I could tell it hurt but she couldn't verbalize that. I told the nurse (unidentified) right away. We monitored her the rest of the day for any signs of injury. It did not seem to bother her later. Her face never got red. The nurse did a skin assessment on both (R9) and (R8). (R9) never even realized what he did, I guess. It was deliberate and for no reason. (R8) did not provoke him (R9) in any way. He just walked right up to her, and slapped her. On 9/5/25 at 12:05 pm V1, Administrator/Abuse prevention Coordinator reviewed R8 and R9 abuse allegation investigation documented above and confirmed R9 intentionally slapped R8 in the face.2.)

This facilitytherefore prohibits abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, and mistreatment ofresidents. In order to do so, the facility has attempted to establish a resident sensitive and residentsecure environment. The purpose of this policy is to assure that the facility is doing all that is within itscontrol to prevent occurrences of abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivationof goods and services by staff and mistreatment of residents.The same policy documents:Definitions: Abuse: Abuse means any physical or mental injury or sexual assault inflicted upon a resident other than by accidental means. Abuse is the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish to a resident. This also includes the deprivation by an individual, including a caretaker, of goods or services that are necessary to attain and/or maintain physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. This assumes that all instances of abuse of residents, even those in a coma, cause physical harm or pain or mental anguish. The term willful in the definition of abuse means the individual must have acted deliberately, not that the individual must have intended to inflict injury or harm. An example of a deliberate (willful) action would be a cognitively impaired resident who strikes out at a resident within his/her each, as opposed to a resident with a neurological disease who has involuntary movements (e.g., muscle spasms, twitching, jerking, writhing movements) and his/her body movements impact a resident who is nearby. Having a mental disorder or cognitive impairment does not automatically preclude a resident from engaging in deliberate or non-accidental actions. Physical Abuse is the infliction of injury on a resident that occurs other than by accidental means and that requires medical attention. Physical abuse includes hitting, slapping, pinching, kicking, and controlling behavior through corporal punishment The same policy documents: Resident-to-Resident Abuse (any type): A resident-to-resident altercation should be reviewed as a potential situation (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145732 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 9 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 145732 B.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm of abuse. Not all resident-to resident altercations result in abuse. For example, infrequent arguments or disagreements that occur during the course of normal social interactions (e.g., dinner table discussions) would not necessarily constitute abuse but should be investigated to make this determination. Resident-to-resident altercations that include any willful action that results in physical injury, mental anguish or pain must be reported in accordance with regulations.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately encode minimum data sets for antipsychotic medications and falls, and failed to complete the correct minimum data set for a discharged resident. These failures affect two residents (R6 and R1) out of thirteen reviewed for minimum data sets on a sample list of 25.Findings include: 1. R6's Physician Order Sheet dated [DATE] documents R6 has a physician order to receive the antipsychotic medication Quetiapine in a dose of 100 milligrams daily, an order initiated on [DATE], the day of R6's admission to the facility. R6's Medication Administration Record dated for [DATE] documents R6 received this antipsychotic medication as ordered. R6's admission Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] section N0450 documents R6 did not receive antipsychotic medications since admission to the facility. This section, when coded as affirmative, serves as a prompt for further questions about required dosage reduction attempts On [DATE] at 3:40 PM, V16, Minimum Data Set Coordinator, stated she was aware R6 takes Quetiapine and must have been in a hurry to make a mistake coding the wrong section at the bottom of the page for R6. V16 further stated she would need to submit a correction for R6's Minimum Data Set. 2. R6's Nursing Progress Note dated [DATE] at 9:30 PM documents R6 was found on the floor of her own room at 9:00 PM stating she had fallen off of the bed, hit her shoulder, was complaining of right shoulder pain, and stating needed to go to the hospital. This note further documents R6 left the facility with emergency medical technicians to go to the hospital at 9:22 PM. R6's Nursing Progress Note dated [DATE] at 2:58 AM documents R6 had returned to the facility from the hospital with a diagnosis of a right humerus fracture which was immobilized. R6's Care Plan for a focus area of ADL (activities of daily living) self-care deficit dated as initiated [DATE] documents R6's right shoulder fracture as a contributing factor. The facility's Fall Investigation Report dated as initiated [DATE] with an initial report to IDPH [DATE] and final report dated [DATE], includes R6's Nursing Progress Notes from [DATE] and [DATE], R6's Care Plan revisions, and x-ray reports documenting a displaced fractured right humerus. R6's admission Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] section J1800 and J1900 documents R6 had experienced 1 fall with an injury that was not a major injury since her admission to the facility. Section J1900 clarifies injuries not considered major include skin tears, abrasions and bruises, while major injuries include fractures. On [DATE] at 3:40 PM, V16, Minimum Data Set Coordinator, stated when she coded the section for R6's falls she had obtained her information from the facility's risk management section of the electronic medical records which listed R6's injuries as swelling and edema and had no further revisions. V16 clarified she was aware R6 went to the hospital but missed the part about a fracture. V16 further stated she had missed a lot of things on the Minimum Data Set for R6 and would need to submit a correction. 3. R1's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] for Death in Facility documents R1 expired on [DATE] in the facility. R1's State of Illinois Certificate of Death certified [DATE] documents R1 expired [DATE] at 9:40 PM at (local hospital). On [DATE] at 11:58 AM and 1:10 PM, V16, Minimum Data Set Coordinator, stated R1 was discharged to the hospital but was never admitted to the hospital and so R1 was still considered to be a resident of the facility when he expired, and that was why V16 completed a ‘Death in Facility' assessment. At 1:40 PM, V16 referenced the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Long Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 Users Manual dated from [DATE] (current Minimum Data Set manual) which documents (page 31) The Death in Facility assessment must be encoded when a resident dies in the facility or while on a leave of absence. This same manual (page 35) defines a leave of absence to include, IF the resident was in a hospital for observation for less than 24 hours, AND the hospital does not admit the resident.

Based on interview and record review the facility failed repeatedly to maintain complete and accurate medical records for two of 14 residents (R2 and R14) reviewed for accuracy of medical records on the sample list of 25.Findings include: 1.) R2's Physician Order Sheet dated 9/1/25 documents the following diagnosis and medication order: Ativan (name brand), ( antianxiety- Lorazepam) Oral Tablet 0.5 MG (Milligrams), Give 0.5 mg by mouth (PO) every 8 (eight) hours as needed (prn) for anxiety/agitation related to Anxiety Disorder, Unspecified for 14 months (inaccurate duration, exceeds the 14 day limit for prn anti-anxiety medication). Start date 07/29/25, end date of 9/26/26 (two-thousand twenty-six). R2 ‘s Consent dated 7/29/25, is incomplete, as it does not document the duration of time for Lorazepam 0.5 mg by mouth (PO) every 8 (eight) hours as needed (prn) for anxiety. R2's (Private Company) Psychiatry Note dated 8/22/25 documents the following: Type of Visit: Follow-up Visit :Chief Complaint: Per staff, patient exhibits agitation, aggression, and behavioral changes. The same (Private Company) Psychiatry Note documents the following a current medication list with no changes to the physician ordered Ativan ordered 7/29/25. R2's current medication list documents the same error in the duration of Ativan prn which exceeds the 14 days. The note documents R2's Ativan PRN (as needed ) order as follows: Lorazepam 0.5 mg PO q (every) 8 hrs (hours) PRN X (times )14 days, end dated 9/29/26 (two-thousand twenty-six). The documented Ativan order has the correct 14 day duration, but also documents inaccurately, the end date which is incongruent with the end date of a 14 month duration. R2's electronic Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 9/1/25- 9/30/25 continued unrevised, with the same 7/29/25 Ativan PRN order that should have been replaced or discontinued on 8/11/25, after the 14-day required limit. R2's MAR dated 8/1/25 – 8/31/25 documents R2 was administered one dose of Ativan 0.5 mg on 8/29/25, (18 days after R2's Ativan was due to be revised or discontinued on 8/11/15). On 9/3/25 at 2:35 pm V2, Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed R2's electronic medical records. V2, DON stated R2's Physician Ordered for Ativan 'was a transcription error and should have been caught before the order went unrevised for the additional 23 days. V2 then clarified the order should not have exceeded 14 days. The documented 14 months was triggered in error. This error resulted in the wrong duration of 14 months documented throughout R2's chart ( included above) and R2's Ativan 0.5 mg dose being administered on 8/29/25, when the Ativan should have been discontinued or revised on 8/11/25. The facility policy “ Psychotropic Medication- Gradual Dosage Reduction” dated 04/2025 documents the following: “Purpose: To ensure that residents are not given psychotropic drugs unless psychotropic drug therapy is necessary to treat a specific or suspected: condition as per current standards of practice and are-prescribed at the lowest therapeutic dose to treat such conditions.

R14's Hospital Progress Notes dated for 8/9/25 through 8/25/25 documents R14 had experienced a urinary tract infection from the multi-drug resistant bacteria Klebsiella. These progress notes document R14 was simultaneously experiencing sepsis and a bacterial infection of his left knee hardware, all treated with the intravenous antibiotics Cefepime and Ceftriaxone. R14's Hospital Discharge Orders dated 6/26/25 document R14 was to continue the intravenous antibiotic Ceftriaxone daily beginning on 8/27/25, the day after R14's return to the facility as R14 had received a dose for 8/26/25 at the hospital. R14's Medication Administration Record dated for August 2025 does not document administration of Ceftriaxone to R14 on 8/27/25, 8/28/25, and 8/29/25. This lack of administration was noted as blank spaces where the administering nurse should place their initials when the medication was administered. On 9/3/25 at 9:40 AM, V2, Director of Nursing, stated he was the administering nurse as the intravenous medications are administered by a Registered Nurse. V2 stated he did administer the intravenous antibiotic and did not go into R14's record to document the administration. R14's Medication Administration Record dated for September 2025 did not document the administration of R14's intravenous antibiotic Ceftriaxone for 9/3/25, leaving R14's antibiotic administrations undocumented for a total of 4 out of 7 days between 8/27/25 through 9/3/25. On 9/5/25 at 1:45 PM, V2 again stated he had administered R14's intravenous antibiotic on 9/3/25 and had not gone into R14's record to document the administration.
