This survey cited 4 deficiencies, 2 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0604 Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, observation and record review, the facility failed to assess adaptive equipment and pressure alarms in order to ensure safety and freedom for normal movement for 4 of 4 residents (R3, R5, R9, R18) reviewed for physical restraints in the sample of 26. Findings include:1. R5's “admission Record” documents an admission date of 7/17/25 and a discharge date of 8/25/25 with the following diagnoses in part; other frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder, frontotemporal dementia, dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere, unspecified severity, with agitation, history of falling, muscle weakness (generalized), difficulty in walking. Residents Affected - Some R5's care plan documents that R5 is at risk for falls related to dementia, impaired cognition/safety awareness, use of antidepressant, antianxiety medications, history of falls, impaired gait/balance. This same document lists the following interventions, Lap [NAME] (positioning device) to be ordered and placed on delivery, until arrives staff to increase monitoring, with an initiation date of 7/31/25. Bed alarm on while in bed to notify staff of need for assistance, with an initiation date of 7/17/25. R5's medical record did not contain a restraint assessment for positioning device (lap [NAME]). R5's medical record did not contain an order for a positioning device. On 9/9/25 at 10:43am, V22 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) stated that R5 was a [NAME], and she was strong, it was possible she could remove the velcro off the lap [NAME], but it was not something she could do on command or knew what she was doing. On 9/9/25 at 11:17am, V32 (Therapy Director) stated she can give recommendations for positioning devices, but she does not see too many residents in therapy because most of them are Medicaid and screening them for such devices is not something she regularly does. V32 stated that she worked with R5 right before she really declined. V32 stated R5 was physically very strong, she would get a grip on something, and you could not get it away from her. V32 stated R5 could walk, but she was not steady standing on her own and had some falls. V32 stated that R5 physically had the strength to remove the Velcro on her positioning device, but she did not think she could intentionally remove it. 2. R18's “admission Record” documents an admission date of 4/30/2022 with the following diagnoses in part, unspecified dementia, moderate, with other behavioral disturbance, personal history of traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy, unspecified, not intractable, without status epilepticus.

V22 stated during the day activity and management tried to help with R5 if they could, she had started therapy right before she got COVID and that had been a ton of help. V22 stated therapy would help walk R5 because she was constantly trying to get up and she was not steady at all and had some falls. V22 stated walking helped her settle down so much. V22 stated R5 was total care and had to be extensively assisted with feeding, which did take a lot of time. V22 stated she could walk but not independently or safely, she had to walk with staff.

F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few they had to keep eyes on her all the time. V15 stated R5 was constantly wanting to stand and fidgeting. V15 stated R5 was super restless, and she would pull stuff off the desks, get a hold of people walking past her and trying to stand and she was super unsteady trying to stand unassisted. V15 stated if she was very restless and someone was available, they would walk with her and that was very helpful. V15 stated she did not specifically remember what R5's behavior interventions were but they always had to have eyes on her and things out of her reach. V15 stated she had an as needed order for a Haldol injection and she had to call the psychiatric Nurse Practitioner to get a one time order once because she was very combative. V15 stated when R5 first came she spoke, but it was nonsensical. V15 stated there was no redirection or discussing feelings with R5, her level of cognition at that point just was not there.On 9/9/25 at 1:09pm, V14 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated she did not believe V33 (Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner) saw R5 in person at admission. V14 stated they do monitor medications, and the psychiatric medications people admit on, she stated R5 was admitted on all these medications, and they weren't monitoring her specifically. V14 stated they do monitor for side effects of medications. V14 stated medications with black box warnings have things to monitor for in the care plan, but they do not have a place where they chart what they are monitoring for. V14 stated when R5 first admitted she would do one on one with her at times. V14 stated R5 did speak in the beginning, but agreed her level of cognition was severely impaired. V14 stated they should be reevaluating interventions for residents.On 9/9/25 at 1:56pm, V17 (Physician) stated R5 was discharged from the hospital to continue both orders for one scheduled benzodiazepine tablet, one scheduled antidepressant tablet, one as needed benzodiazepine tablet, one as needed anti-psychotic tablet and one as needed anti-psychotic injection, and one as needed Anxiolytic/Sedative tablet, up to three times a day. V17 stated he continued the medications because R5 was allegedly already taking them at the assisted living. V17 stated the reason she was taking them was because she was displaying increased agitation, he stated he believed she also was combative and had self-injurious behavior. V17 stated he had seen R5 in person on July 17,2025 when she was admitted to the facility.On 9/9/25 at 2:35pm, V33 (Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner) stated she followed R5 at her previous assisted living facility. V33 stated R5 was much more active at assisted living, and managing her behaviors and medications were challenging. V33 stated they tried all different things with R5, she was much more physically aggressive, was flipping tables and things of that nature. V33 stated in assisted living, they do not have the staff that they have in long term care, sometimes they don't even have nurses, so their ability to use non-pharmacological interventions is limited. V33 stated the facility continued all her orders for R5 from the assisted living, she stated the reason for all the as needed medications in assisted living because they will taper them down to as needed with the goal of discontinuing them eventually. V33 stated normally she would not order all these as needed medications in a long-term care facility because they have more staff and different regulations. V33 stated she can give suggestions for behavior interventions. V33 stated after looking over her notes she had suggested behavior interventions appropriate to her cognitive abilities, she stated R5 was severely cognitively impaired. V33 stated behavior interventions should always be the first line treatment, appropriate interventions should be done and documented before use of as needed medications. V33 stated as needed medications should be the last resort for all patients. V33 stated she had not seen R5 in person until after she had declined, she stated she didn't have her notes in front of her, but she believed it to be around 8/15/25.On 9/9/25 at 2:40pm, V1 (Administrator) was asked if R5's behavior interventions were person centered and appropriate, V1 stated that was a good question and declined to answer any further.
