F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the call lights of residents are accessible as stated in the care plans. This failure has the potential to affect 3 residents (R74, R94, and R504) reviewed for accommodation of needs in a sample of 55 residents. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: On 06/02/25 at 11:27am, R74 was observed at the edge of the bed and the surveyor asked R74 to use the call light to ask staff for help. The call light could not be found and R74 did not know where to find the call light. The surveyor went to the Nursing Station and called V5 (RN/Registered Nurse). V5 came and stated I found it. It's here under the bed. Inquired from V5 why the call light should be within reach of the resident; V5 stated to allow the resident to get help and to prevent falling. V5 added that she will remind the CNAs (Certified Nurse Assistants). R74's records reviewed are as follows: Face sheet shows diagnoses which include but are not limited to Repeated Falls, Vascular Dementia, Unsteadiness on Feet, Abnormalities of Gait and Mobility, Lack of Coordination, Right Foot Drop, Osteoarthritis, and Cognitive Communication Deficit. Care plan dated 3/21/25 states in part that R74 is at risk for falls related to Deconditioning, musculoskeletal impairment, neurological impairment, vascular dementia with anxiety, Interventions states to be sure the resident's call light is within reach and encourage the resident to use it for assistance as needed. Fall Risk Evaluation dated 1/28/25 shows that R74 is at high risk for falls. Basic Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) Score is 12 out of 15 (Mild Cognitive Impairment). Facility's Call Light Policy dated 9/1/22 states in #5: When the resident is in bed or confined to a chair, be sure the call light is within easy reach of the resident. On 6/2/2025 at 12:48pm, R94 was lying in bed with a clean kept appearance. R94's call light was observed on the floor. On 6/2/2025 at 12:51 pm, V12 (Licensed Practical Nurse-(LPN) affirmed R94's call light on the floor next to R94's bed. V12 stated R94 doesn't use the call light so that's why we keep the door open. V12 stated R94 can fall if the call light is not within easy reach. On 6/4/2025 at 3:36pm, V2 (Acting Director of Nursing-(ADON) stated the call light should be within easy reach so that a resident's needs can be met. V2 stated an example is when a resident is in pain and the call light is not in reach, there will be a delay in relieving the resident's pain if the call light is not in easy reach. Facility's undated policy titled Answering Call Light Policy documents in part: When a resident is in bed or confined to a chair be sure the call light is within easy reach of the resident. On 06/02/25 at 11:00am, R504 was observed, in his (R504) room, sitting on the side of bed with a (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145767 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 48 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 145767 B.

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few walker in front of him, and R504's call light was wrapped on the bedside table behind R504 not within reach of R504. Surveyor observed urine on the floor below R504 with his (R504) foot lying in the puddle of urine. R504 stated, It has been over an hour that I (R504) have been waiting for help to get to chair and get cleaned up. A nurse came in, helped me sit on the side of the bed, and said that he (nurse) would be back once he (nurse) could find another nurse to help him (nurse). I'm sorry. This is humiliating. I'm (R504) so embarrassed. No, I (R504) can't reach the call light over there. R504's face sheet documents diagnoses that include but are not limited to need for assistance with personal care; muscle weakness; fall; other abnormalities of gait and mobility; unsteadiness on feet; and periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic left hip joint. R504's Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score, dated 5/16/25, documents, in part, a BIMS score of 15 which indicates R504 is cognitively intact. On 6/2/2025 at 11:05am, V11 (Certified Nurse's Assistant/CNA) stated, My resident's load is heavy because many of them require increased surveillance and two people assistance, and they are always short staffed. I (V11) already waited for over an hour for another CNA to help me (V11) to move the resident from bed to chair. There is only one nurse and one other CNA working this unit. I (V11) will not risk the resident falling by moving him (R504) by himself (V11). No, he (R504) cannot reach the call light over there. On 6/4/25 at 12:01pm, V2 (Assistant Director of Nursing/DON) said, Call lights should be answered immediately. At least go and see what the resident needs. Any staff can help a resident. Physical therapy, social workers. You (staff) do not have to be a nurse. An hour is too much for a resident to get assistance. Right away. Assist them (residents) right away. Waiting for an hour with sitting in urine would probably make a resident mad and sad. Facility policy titled, Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), Supporting, reviewed date 9/01/24, documents, in part, Residents will be provided with care, treatment and services as appropriate to maintain or improve their ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs).

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to provide clean bed and bath linens for residents with the need of assistance with daily hygiene, bathing, or showers. This failure affected two residents (R96, R504) out of three reviewed in the final sample of 55 residents, however, this failure has the potential to affect all 93 residents living in the facility. Findings include: On 6/2/2025 the Census sheet provided by the facility showed 93 residents. On 6/2/2025 at 11:00 AM, observed R504 sitting on the side of the bed, holding a walker. Underneath the bed, observed a fresh urine-like spot on the floor and on the resident's left foot. R504 stated, that it has been over an hour, that someone came in to help to transfer R504 from bed to the chair. R504 could not wait longer and tried to use the urinal, could not reach it in time and had an accident. R504 stated that R504 felt embarrassed, humiliated, and angry and did not have any clean towels or washcloths to use. On 6/2/2025 at 11:05 AM V11 (Certified Nurse's Aide/CNA) stated the resident's wait for help for a long time sometimes because the patient load is heavy because many of the residents require increased surveillance and two people assistance. V11 stated that the facility is always out of towels and washcloths and many times V11 had to use blankets to give residents bed baths. V11 stated that to cover the urine spot until cleaned, blanket must be used, because there are no towels available on the unit. 6/2/2025 at 11:10 AM, in the 2 East Unit's Clean Linen Room, observed no towels or washcloths on the linen carts. On 6/2/2025 at 11:30 AM R96 stated that sometimes the facility runs out of towels and washcloths and pillowcases and must use blankets instead when receiving a shower. R96 receives showers twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday. R96 had to take towels or a pillowcase from a cart when available, because the facility is often short of linens. R96 stated that sometimes she uses her own linens. On 6/3/2025 at 11:45 AM in the Facility's Laundry room observed with V22 (Laundry Aide), Observed on the top of the clean linen folding table, a total of eight towels and eight washcloths. Next to clean linen folding table, observed three full bins of clean linen (blankets, gowns, sheets, chucks,) and one empty linen cart with a pink cover attached to it. Surveyor observed additional room with clean linen storage area, with four carts of clean linen on the carts, covered with pink covers. No additional towels or washcloths observed in the additional clean linen storage room. No towels or washcloths observed in the four working dryer machines or the clean bins. V22 stated that there is a certain amount of linen placed on the linen carts for each unit specifically, and then the carts get distributed to each unit at 7am and again in the evening. The amount of linen varies per unit and is written on a paper form on the bulletin board in the laundry room. Surveyor observed, written in permanent black marker on each unit's linen cart, the amount of linen each unit is dispersed (the same amounts that are written on the paper form on the bulletin board in the laundry room). Evidence shows that the amount of linen that is dispersed to each unit is less than the number of residents on each unit.

V22 said, that another laundry aide comes in at 2pm and works until 8pm. V22 does not have enough time or help to wash and sort, fold, and disburse all linen in a timely manner. V22 said, that the reason why the towels and wash cloths are not visible in the laundry room, is that a full cart of fresh linen, was delivered at 7am to each unit and the dirty linen is still being washed. On 6/3/2025 at 11:55 AM Laundry's room bulletin board sign for distribution of linens showed linen placement as follows but not limited to 1 East 13 towels, 15 wash cloths; 2 East morning linen 10 towels, 15 wash cloths, 2 East night linen 6 towels, 10 wash cloths; 2 [NAME] linen Morning 12 towels, 20 washcloths, Night 6 towels, 20 wash cloths. 2 East Unit on 6/3/2025 at 12:07PM, V12 (LPN), stated that current census for the unit is 24 residents. 2 East Unit's Linen Room on 6/3/2025 at 12:08 PM, observed NO towels or washcloths on linen carts.

V13 stated at 7am V13 removed four washcloths and two towels from the delivered linen cart and the other aide took the rest, which was about the same number of towels and washcloths. V13 affirmed that the facility is often short on linens, especially towels and washcloths and that since the new changes in laundry staff (now only one person working), it got worse.

On 6/4/2025 at 11:19 AM V1 (Administrator) stated, that, the bulletin board signs used for stocking the linen carts in the laundry room, were made prior V1's start at the facility. V1 was not aware that the linen carts were stocked with the limited number of towels and other linens as shown on the bulletin board signs in the laundry room. V1 stated that each resident should be provided two towels and two washcloths. V1 provided document that listed linen inventory summary as of 6/4/2025.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that one (R504) resident who depends on staff assistance for ADL (Activities of Daily Living) care was provided incontinence care and transfer assistance in a timely manner, demonstrating inadequate care in a sample of 55 residents. This failure resulted in R504 suffering psychosocial harm stating feelings of humiliation and embarrassment. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: On 06/02/25 at 11:00am, R504 was observed, in his (R504) room, sitting on the side of bed with a walker in front of him, and R504's call light was wrapped on the bedside table behind R504 not within reach of R504. Surveyor observed urine on the floor below R504 with his (R504) foot lying in the puddle of urine. R504 stated, It has been over an hour that I (R504) have been waiting for help to get to chair and get cleaned up. A nurse came in, helped me sit on the side of the bed, and said that he (nurse) would be back once he (nurse) could find another nurse to help him (nurse). I'm sorry. This is humiliating. I'm (R504) so embarrassed. R504's face sheet documents diagnoses that include but are not limited to need for assistance with personal care; muscle weakness; fall; other abnormalities of gait and mobility; unsteadiness on feet; and periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic left hip joint. R504's Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score, dated 5/16/25, documents, in part, a BIMS score of 15 which indicates R504 is cognitively intact. On 6/2/2025 at 11:05am, V11 (Certified Nurse's Assistant/CNA) stated, My resident's load is heavy because many of them require increased surveillance and two people assistance, and they are always short staffed. I (V11) already waited for over an hour for another CNA to help me (V11) to move the resident from bed to chair. There is only one nurse and one other CNA working this unit. I (V11) will not risk the resident falling by moving him (R504) by himself (V11). On 6/4/25 at 12:01pm, V2 (Assistant Director of Nursing/DON) said, Any staff can help a resident. Physical therapy, social workers. You (staff) do not have to be a nurse. An hour is too much for a resident to get assistance. Right away. Assist them (residents) right away. Waiting for an hour with sitting in urine would probably make a resident mad and sad.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow physician orders for obtaining resident weights for a resident with known weight loss and congestive heart failure. This failure affects 1 resident (R80) in a sample of 55. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: R80's face sheet documents in part a diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease and heart failure. R80's care plan identifies that R80 has a history of weight loss and is on diuretic medications that may cause weight fluctuations. R80's physician orders documents in part an active order (4/24/25) for Heart Failure Order Set- Weight every morning; Call MD if gain wt (weight) of 2 lbs (pounds)/1day and 5 lbs/1 week. one time a day every Tue and Thu Review of R80's weights for 5/2025 documents in part that R80's weight was collected on 5/5/2025. R80's weight was not documented again until 5/21/2025 (16 days later). On 6/4/2025 at 11:16 AM, V2 (Assistant Director of Nursing) affirmed that V2 is familiar with R80. V2 stated that R80 has a history of weight loss and heart failure. V2 reviewed R80's physician order for weights and affirmed that the order reads both every day and on Tuesdays and Thursdays. V2 stated, I think it is supposed to be done on Tuesdays and Thursdays. V2 reviewed R80's weights and affirmed that the weights were not completed per the physician order and no weights were obtained between 5/6/2025 and 5/20/2025. V2 stated the purpose of the obtaining daily weights for a heart failure patient is to ensure and monitor for exacerbations which can be identified by frequent weighing of the patient.

Again, on 6/3/25 at 12:02pm, R74 was observed still in the same wheelchair without a cushion. At this time, V5(RN/Registered Nurse) was called to see R74. V5 stated that a cushion is needed to prevent pressure ulcer and that she (V5) will get a cushion for R74's wheelchair. Residents Affected - Few R74's records reviewed are as follows: Face sheet shows diagnoses which include but are not limited to Vascular Dementia, Unsteadiness on Feet, Abnormalities of Gait and Mobility, Lack of Coordination, Right Foot Drop, Osteoarthritis, and Cognitive Communication Deficit. Care plan dated 10/4/24 states in part that R74 has actual impairment to skin integrity. MDS (Minimum Data Status) dated 4/11/25 states that R74 uses wheelchair, and that R74 is at risk of developing pressure ulcer. Basic Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) Score is 12 out of 15(Mild Cognitive Impairment). Facility's policy on Pressure ulcer prevention states in part: Support Surfaces and Pressure Redistribution: 1.Select appropriate support surfaces based the resident's risk factors, in accordance with current clinical practice. Device-Related Pressure Injuries: 1. Review and select medical devices with consideration to the ability to minimize tissue damage, including size, shape, its application and ability to secure the device. 2. Monitor regularly for comfort and signs of pressure-related injury. 3. For prevention measures associated with specific devices, consult current clinical practice guidelines. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the low air loss mattress was set appropriately for 1 resident (R66), failed to ensure the low air loss mattresses were not layered with multiple layers for 2 (R52 and R66) residents; and failed to ensure a resident's wheelchair has cushion for 1 (R74) resident. These failures affected 3 (R52, R66, and R74) residents reviewed for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment in the total sample of 55 residents. Findings include: On 06/02/25 at 11:10 AM, R52 was lying on a low air loss mattress. This surveyor requested V6 (Agency Licensed Practice Nurse) to check how many layers were between the low air loss mattress and R52.

There is no purpose of placing the folded blanket underneath him. Residents Affected - Few On 06/02/25 at 11:48 AM, R66 was lying on low air loss mattress. The low air loss mattress setting was between 320lbs and 400lbs. V6 stated the pointer (of the dial) is close to 320. I would say the low air loss mattress is set at 340lbs. This surveyor requested V6 to check how many layers between R66 and the low air loss mattress. V6 stated she has a flat sheet that is twice folded making it 4 layers, there is another flat sheet, and she is using incontinence brief. Total of 6 layers. On 06/04/2025 at 9:41am, V2 (Assistant Director Of Nursing) stated the setting of the low air loss mattress should be based on the resident's weight. It will not work as it should if setting is higher than the resident's weight because it will be hard like a board and defeats the purpose of the low air loss mattress. The resident should be layered with just a flat sheet and incontinence brief. For the same reason, multiple layers defeats the purpose of the low air loss mattress.

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the nasal cannula was labeled with the date changed for 1 (R26) resident; failed to follow the prescribed oxygen flow rate for 2 (R26 and R42) residents; and failed to ensure oxygen was delivered to 1 (R12) resident. These failures affected 3 (R12, R26, and R42) residents reviewed for oxygen therapy in the total sample of 55 residents. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: On 06/02/2025 at 11:41am, R12 was using a nasal cannula, the tubing was connected to a humidifier bottle via an oxygen concentrator. The humidifier bottle was filled with water. No bubbles noted in the humidifier bottle. The concentrator regulator was set at 3liters per minute. This was pointed out to V6 (Agency LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse). V6 stated she (R12) is not assigned to me. V6 checked the humidifier bottle and stated there is no bubbles because the oxygen tubing is not screwed tightly to the humidifier bottle. V6 was then observed unscrewing and screwing the oxygen tubing to the humidifier bottle with multiple attempts until bubbles appeared in the humidifier bottle. V6 stated now it is fixed. No bubbles in the humidifier bottle means no oxygen is delivered to the resident. On 06/04/2025 at 9:45am, V2 (Assistant Director Of Nursing) stated we use humidifier when we administer oxygen via an oxygen concentrator. The humidifier bottle should have bubbles to ensure oxygen is delivered to the resident. if there is no bubbles, it means no oxygen was delivered to the resident.

F 0725 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. Based upon observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that sufficient nursing staff were available to meet the needs for one residents (R504) in the sample of 55 residents. These failures have the potential to affect all 24 residents on 2 East. Findings include: On 6/3/2025 at 12:07PM, V12 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse), stated that current census for the 2 East unit is 24 residents. On 06/02/25 at 11:00am, R504 was observed, in his (R504) room, sitting on the side of bed with a walker in front of him, and R504's call light was wrapped on the bedside table behind R504 not within reach of R504. Surveyor observed urine on the floor below R504 with his (R504) foot lying in the puddle of urine. R504 stated, It has been over an hour that I (R504) have been waiting for help to get to chair and get cleaned up. A nurse came in, helped me sit on the side of the bed, and said that he (nurse) would be back once he (nurse) could find another nurse to help him (nurse). I'm sorry. This is humiliating. I'm (R504) so embarrassed. R504's face sheet documents diagnoses that include but are not limited to need for assistance with personal care; muscle weakness; fall; other abnormalities of gait and mobility; unsteadiness on feet; and periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic left hip joint. R504's Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score, dated 5/16/25, documents, in part, a BIMS score of 15 which indicates R504 is cognitively intact. On 6/2/2025 at 11:05am, V11 (Certified Nurse's Assistant/CNA) stated, My resident's load is heavy because many of them require increased surveillance and two people assistance, and they are always short staffed. I (V11) already waited for over an hour for another CNA to help me (V11) to move the resident from bed to chair. There is only one nurse and one other CNA working this unit. I (V11) will not risk the resident falling by moving him (R504) by himself (V11). On 6/3/2025 at 12:10pm, V13 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA), worked at the facility for 2 years, stated that since the new management took over, there has been many changes in laundry, supplies, staffing. V13 stated that this morning there are two CNA's working and two nurses on the unit with 24 residents, but it is not the standards. It is because the agency (Illinois Department of Public Health) is in the building. Normally there would be only one nurse. The two aides must work together effectively to help residents as much as they can, but sometimes the residents will have to wait for a long time for help. It might be even longer than an hour of wait on occasion. V13 stated that the work would be much better if there were three aides and two nurses, because the units are spread into three different hallways and sometimes it's hard-to-get help. On 6/4/25 at 12:01pm, V2 (Assistant Director of Nursing/DON) said, 2 East should always have 2 nurses and 2 CNAs for at least am shift (AM: 7:00am to 7:00pm) Sometimes, it is hard to find coverage, especially when there is a call off. Sometimes, we (nurses/CNAs) work short. I (V2) have to fight with the owner to raise the hourly rate to get agency nurses to pick up shifts. Any staff can help a resident. Physical therapy, social workers. You (staff) do not have to be a nurse. An hour is too much for a resident to get assistance. Right away. Assist them (residents) right away.

V13 was asked if V13 uses hand sanitizer when passing trays. V13 stated I used hand hygiene. V13 was made aware V13 was observed passing several residents trays without using hand sanitizer. V13 stated hand hygiene is used to prevent infection. On 6/3/2025 at 12:07PM, V12 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN), stated that current census for the 2 East unit is 24 residents. On 6/2/2025 at 10:55am, surveyor observed no hand sanitizer: on or in any of the PPE (personal protective equipment) bins outside resident's room, on the walls in the hallway, on the 2 East Unit nurse's station, or in the resident's room. On 6/2/2025 at 11:05am V11 (Certified Nurse's Assistant/CNA) stated that the facility does not provide them with enough hand sanitizers, usually only one bottle placed at the nurse's station and the facility also tends to be out of hand soaps in the resident's bathrooms often. On 6/3/2025 at 10:44 AM, V21 (Infection Preventionist/IP) stated that hand hygiene is an ongoing project, facility has monthly meeting and IP is part of morning clinical huddles. Expectation for staff is to use hand gel sanitizer or soap and water, and wash hands between residents. Hand gel sanitizers should be on the PPE carts, and at nurse's station, and the smaller pocket size bottles should be available for the staff to carry in pockets. V21 said that hand sand sanitizer and hand hygiene stations should be readily accessible for the employees and visitors to prevent the spread of infection. On 6/3/2025 at 12:10pm, V13 (Certified Nurse's Assistant/CNA), stated that the facility does supply hand sanitizer but is only one small bottle per nursing station that is located so far from the end rooms, that the hand washing is harder to do. The facility does not provide hand sanitizers inside the PPE carts nor pocket size for employees to carry with them. On 6/4/2025 at 12:15pm, V2 (Assistant Director of Nursing/ADON) stated that hand sanitizing gel should be provided by the facility when needed, but sometimes when ordered, the supplies are not received. Occasionally the staff will have to purchase hand sanitizing gel themselves in the store nearby. V2 stated that the facility used to carry hand sanitizers on the walls of the facility but were removed due to malfunction and breakage. V2 stated that there is usually one bottle of hand sanitizing gel in the nursing station, and the staff can wash the hands in the washroom. V2 affirmed that sometimes it is very inconvenient to not have the ability to have handwashing supplies nearby and it makes it more challenging for staff to perform hand hygiene if they need to perform care in rooms on the far end of the hallways. V2 stated that the lack of supply could lead to spread in infection due to staff not washing their hands as often.

Surveyor observed V21 and V2 (Assistant Director of Nursing) search the office and V21 stated, we don't have any other documentation. V21 denied that there is a training schedule for required in-services and stated, we are currently working on that. On 6/5/2025 at 10:21 AM, V21 affirmed that there was no further documentation that the facility could produce regarding communication training. V21 explained, Communication training is important so that staff know how to speak with the residents verbally and non-verbally. We have residents and staff with a wide variety of cognitive needs, communication impairments and cultural backgrounds. Communication varies from culture to culture. In some cultures, it is normal for them to talk loudly and more shrill, while other cultures might be offended or scared by their tone. No further documentation was provided related to communication in-services prior to the exit of the survey. Record review of facility assessment (6/24 through 7/25) does not identify a training need for communication training.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide QAPI (Quality Assurance Performance Improvement) training to the staff. This failure has the potential to affect all 93 residents that reside within the facility. Findings include: On 6/4/2025 at 10:39 AM, surveyor requested documentation for staff training on QAPI. On 6/4/2025 at 1:39 PM, V1 (Administrator) provided surveyor with 2 binders labeled In-services 2025 and In-services 2024 and stated, all of our in-services are within that binder, if we in-serviced on it, it would be in there. Record review of in-servicing binders for 2024 and 2025 was completed and no training related to QAPI was observed completed for staff. On 6/4/2025 at 3:37 PM, V1 (Administrator) affirmed there is no further documentation that the facility can produce related to QAPI training. V1 stated that direct care staff do not get trained on QAPI but if they have a concern, they can tell their supervisor and they can bring it to the QAPI committee. V1 stated that the direct care staff would not know how to submit things to the QAPI committee because our chain of command is to tell the supervisor. V21 (Infection Preventionist, Registered Nurse, Nurse Consultant) stated that V21 is the nurse consultant and provides multi-facility oversight. V21 stated that the facility might have documentation of QAPI training in the director of nursing's office.

On 6/5/2025 at 10:21 AM, V21 affirmed that there was no further documentation that the facility could produce regarding QAPI training. V21 explained, The purpose of QAPI is to analyze our facility systems/processes and improve or fix them if appropriate. QAPI is a driving force for improving care and the direct care staff should be involved too. Direct care staff know a lot more about system processes and what is working or what is not working. They would also be responsible for driving the needed change identified within the QAPI committee. No further documentation was provided related to QAPI in-services prior to the exit of the survey. Record review of facility assessment (6/24 through 7/25) does not identify a training need for QAPI training.

V21 explained, In our company, we have a compliance and ethics program for our staff members. Any staff member can call a hotline to our company and report ethical concerns. It could be things like not following regulations or other ethical issues like accepting bribes or tips. It is important because we can become aware of issues that affect the resident's care and staff need to know that they can report ethical issues without fear of retailation. If they don't report it, the issues could continue. No further documentation was provided related to compliance/ethics in-services prior to the exit of the survey.
