This survey cited 4 deficiencies, 3 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 0678 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Provide basic life support, including CPR, prior to the arrival of emergency medical personnel , subject to physician orders and the resident’s advance directives. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to assess a resident after CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) was unable to obtain resident's blood pressure or heart rate and failed to document resident's code status in the medical record.This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ). The Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] around 6:30 AM when V33 (Agency RN) did not assess R18 after V35 (CNA/Certified Nurse Assistant) notified V33 that she was unable to obtain a blood pressure or heart rate on R18. Around 7:45 AM, V33 (Agency RN) found R18 unresponsive and left R18 to find V16 (RN/Registered Nurse). V16 said V33 told her she thought R18 expired and R18 was DNR (Do Not Resuscitate). Around 8:00AM, R18 was found unresponsive by V41 (Respiratory Therapist) and V3 (LPN/ Acting ADON/Assistant Director of Nursing) and CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) was initiated. 911 was called at 8:33 AM by V42 (Dietary Aide/CNA). Per ambulance run report, Paramedics arrived on scene at 8:38 AM and resuscitative efforts including intubation attempts ceased at 8:59 AM and R18 was pronounced deceased . This applies to 1 resident (R18) reviewed for emergency response and code status availability in medical record and has the potential to affect all residents in the facility.V1 (Administrator) was notified of the IJ on [DATE] at 12:01 PM and the IJ template was provided.The facility presented an Immediacy Removal Plan on [DATE] at 2:45 PM that was returned for revisions at 3:57 PM. The second Removal Plan was accepted on [DATE] at 6:12 PM.The surveyor confirmed the immediacy was removed on [DATE] at 2:49 PM; however, the facility remains out of compliance at a severity level II due to the need to evaluate the new agency orientation checklists for completion including initiation of CPR and code status documentation, all staff reeducation on Change in Resident Condition Policy, Emergency response escalation, CPR Policy, DNR Order Policy, nurse responsibilities for new admissions, and Quality Assurance Monitoring.The findings include:On [DATE] at 3:46 PM, V33 (Agency RN) said on the morning of [DATE] around 6:30 AM, V35 (CNA) told her that she could not get a blood pressure or heart rate for R18. V33 said she continued to pass her morning medications to other residents and around 7:45 AM when she went in to give R18 medications, she found R18 unresponsive. V33 said she then attempted, unsuccessfully, to recheck R18's vital signs with the vitals machine and listened for R18's heartbeat with her stethoscope, but found R18 did not have a heartbeat. V33 said she then left R18's bedside and went to find V16 (RN), who was working a different hall. On [DATE] at 1:24 PM, V33 (Agency Nurse) said she was R18's admission nurse and V12 (LPN) took report from the hospital on R18 for V33. V33 said V12's report paper had R18's code status on it, but V33 didn't remember what the code status was. V33 said it is the admission nurse's responsibility to enter the resident's code status in the electronic medical record. On [DATE] at 11:17 AM V16 (RN) said V33 came to her on the morning of [DATE] during her medication pass and told her, I think my patient expired. V16 said she then asked V33 what R18's code status was and while walking away from V16, she heard V33 say DNR. V16 said she then went to R18's room to verify she had (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 0678 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few expired and noted that R18 was pale with bluish lips, but still warm to touch. V16 said she listened to R18's chest with her stethoscope and did not hear a heartbeat and then she felt for a carotid pulse and felt nothing. V16 said she was then called back to attend to her residents, so she left R18's bedside. On [DATE] at 5:06 PM V4 (Social Service Director) said on the morning of [DATE] around 8:00AM he was walking past R18's room and saw R18 slumped to the side in bed and V16 (RN) and V44 (CNA) in R18's room. V4 said he overheard V44 (CNA) say they could not get vitals on R18. V4 (Social Service Director) said he then walked to the nearest clinical staff near a computer, V41 (Respiratory Therapist), and V4 asked V41 to look up R18's code status in the medical record. On [DATE] at 12:13 PM, V41 (Respiratory Therapist) said when V4 asked her to look up R18's code status, she checked R18's medical record and did not see any order for code status, including DNR. V41 said she then asked V4 why he was asking and V4 told V41 R18's CNA was unable to get vitals on her. V41 said she then went right to R18's room, assessed that R18 was not breathing and did not have a pulse, so V41 started chest compressions. V41 said V3 (LPN/Acting ADON) was next to enter R18's room and he took over chest compressions while V41 placed the AED (Automated External Defibrillator) on R18. V41 said she then started ventilating R18 with oxygen and bag valve mask. On [DATE] at 2:37 PM, V42 (Dietary Aide/CNA) said she was called into R18's room by V3 (Acting ADON) to help with CPR efforts and after she completed 2 rounds of chest compressions, V41 (Respiratory Therapist) and V3 (Acting ADON) were trying to figure out who R18's nurse was to find out why 911 assistance had not yet arrived. V42 said V33 (Agency RN) then came into the room and said she called 911 but, they said they can't come. V42 (Dietary Aide/CNA) said she then called 911 from her personal phone, inside R18's room. V42 said 911 assistance arrived within 10 minutes of her call and took over CPR. On [DATE] at 4:50 PM, V33 (Agency Nurse) said she called the universal number that is used for ambulance transport. V33 was then asked, When a patient is unresponsive, do you call for ambulance transport, or do you call 911? and she replied, I am not sure.On [DATE] at 1:42 PM, V47 (Assistant EMS Coordinator of Kankakee Dispatch) said all 911 calls go through his dispatch center and they only received one 911 call on [DATE] regarding R18, and that took place at 8:33AM, and the caller was V42.R18's ambulance run report dated [DATE] shows 911 was called for cardiac arrest, ambulance was en route at 8:34 AM, on scene at 8:38 AM, and at R18's bedside at 8:39 AM. Ambulance crew took over R18's care at 8:39 AM, using an external plunger device for CPR. At 8:46 AM, 8:50 AM, 8:54 AM, and 8:58 AM, Epinephrine was administered through IO (Intraosseous) line that was inserted by the crew at 8:44 AM. At 8:48 AM, orotracheal intubation was attempted multiple times but complicated by patient vomiting and was unsuccessful. At 8:52 AM iGel was used to establish a supraglottic airway for ventilation. R18 remained in asystole (without a cardiac rhythm) throughout code and crew terminated ALS (Advanced Life Support) efforts at 8:59 AM. R18 expired.On [DATE] at 10:46 AM, V4 (Social Service Director) said when R18 was found unresponsive and without a code status or advanced directives, he first consulted the admissions team who has access to the hospital chart to try to obtain the code status from the hospital documentation. V4 said the admissions team told him they did not have anything logged for R18's code status. While staff were performing CPR, before the ambulance arrived, V4 spoke to V45 (R18's Son) who told V4 he knew R18 did not want extensive measures, including intubation, but to continue chest compressions.On [DATE] at 2:09 PM, V45 (R18's Son) said he received a call from V4 (Social Service Director) on [DATE] at 8:28 AM. V45 said he told V4 he knew R18 did not want to be intubated and her living will said no extreme measures. V45 said he never had the conversation with R18 about CPR, so he told V4 to go ahead with CPR, but not to intubate her. V45 reiterated again, R18 did not want to be intubated or placed on mechanical ventilation.R18's hospital orders show her last code status update in the (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145843 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 13 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 145843 B.

F 0678 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few hospital prior to her admission to the facility was partial code as of [DATE]. In the hospital, prior to R18's admission to the facility, her code status order showed: No Mechanical Ventilation with Intubation, Selective Cardio Resuscitation, No Chest Compressions, and No Defibrillation/Cardioversion.R18's Face sheet shows she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with primary diagnosis of Acute Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia and she had no Advance Directive or code status listed. R18's POS (Physician Order Sheet) shows she had no physician order for code status. R18 had been admitted to the facility for approximately 16 hours at the time of her code blue and she did not have any nursing assessment documented or vital signs.On [DATE] at 10:24 AM V2 (DON) said if the CNA notifies the nurse they could not obtain a blood pressure and heart rate on a resident, the nurse should assess that resident immediately. V2 said if a resident is found unresponsive and there is no code status listed in the medical record, the staff should immediately proceed with compressions. V2 said timely initiation of CPR is important because there is a short period of time the staff have to get the resident back and they want to minimize any damage to the organs caused by lack of blood flow and oxygen. V2 said every minute is detrimental once the resident is found unresponsive. On [DATE] at 3:17 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said the resident's code status should be entered into the computer right when the resident arrives when they are entered into the computer system. V2 said the code status needs to be entered right away so staff do not have to spend time looking for the resident's code status in the event of an emergency, and this is important because they want to honor the resident's wishes if they are found unresponsive. On [DATE] at 5:08 PM, V1 (Administrator) verified R18's facility record did not show any advance directive or code status. V1 said the resident's code status should be obtained first thing when a new admission comes, before any other parts of the admission are done. V1 said she was not aware V45 (R18's Son) told V4 R18 did not want to be intubated. On [DATE] at 1:16 PM, V43 (Admissions Director) said a resident's code status should be obtained before the admission comes and if there isn't a code status on file, there should be a physician order entered saying full code so the nursing staff know how to proceed until social services is able to discuss Advance Directives with the resident. V43 said she cannot locate any documentation showing that R18 wanted to be a full code. V43 said in R18's hospital chart it said she was a partial code, and that was not discovered until after she had died.The facility's policy titled, Resident Admissions last revised 5/2024 states, .Procedure: The admitting nurse shall use the PCC (PointClickCare) EMR (Electronic Medical Record) system admission process for all resident admissions. These processes include, but are not limited to the following tasks within the system: A. Add resident/Patient B. Create admission C. Assign Bed D. Advance Directives.The facility's policy titled, Advance Directives- [NAME] last revised 1/2020 states, Policy: [NAME] Rehabilitation supports the right of all residents to participate in their own health care decision making including the right to decide whether they wish to accept or refuse life-prolonging measures or other treatments. [NAME] Rehab also supports the right of residents to prepare an Advance Directive declaration or statement which clearly expresses the resident's wishes regarding the use of life-prolonging procedures and designating another person to make treatment decisions in the event that the resident becomes incapable of communicating his or her choices or wishes. Procedure: A. Upon admission, written information will be provided to residents informing them of their rights under State law regarding health care decision-making, including the right to prepare advance directives. A signed acknowledgement that such information has been received will be required, and notation will be made in the resident's medical record as to whether or not an advance directive has been prepared and presented.The facility's policy titled, Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) last approved 01/2026 states, Policy: Basic life support is an emergency first (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145843 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 13 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 145843 B.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to assess and notify the provider of changes in a resident's condition after fall incident with injuries and pain for R2 and R6. This resulted in a delay of treatment for R2 and R6 for pain and a fracture from a fall incident. The facility failed to notify the provider of R4's change of condition that included vomiting blood and black tarry stools that resulted in the need for hospitalization and blood transfusions. This applies to 3 of 3 residents (R2, R4, and R6) reviewed for resident injury and improper nursing. The findings include: 1. R2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses which included mesothelioma, peripheral vascular disease, neoplasm-related pain, muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, osteoarthritis, and periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic right hip joint per the EMR (Electronic Medical Record). R2's Progress Note, Late Entry, created on 06/02/24 at 2:25 PM, effective date of 05/29/24 at 2:12 PM, showed On 05/29/24 about 1650 (4:50 PM) I witnessed/heard alarm as R2 got up from recliner in the day room and started to walk. I was at the nurses station and went to stop him. Before I could reach him, he fell forward hitting the right side of his head on the table, and he started to bleed.

V8 stated R2 returned to the facility from the ER the same night. V8 stated R2's return from the ER was not documented in the medical record. V8 stated after a resident has a fall, the nurses complete a three-day, head-to-toe assessment on the residents. V8 stated if a resident reports new pain after a fall, the provider should be notified. V8 stated the provider should have been notified of R2's complaints of pain in the right thigh. V8 stated R2 should have had x-rays after the fall on 05/29/24. On 01/21/26 at 3:35 PM, V9 (RN) stated R2's wife informed her that R2 had fallen a few days ago and had been complaining of pain in the right leg and foot. V9 stated she noticed R2 did not get an x-ray of the right leg or hip when he fell a few days prior and went to the hospital. V9 stated if a resident falls and is complaining of a new onset of pain, the provider should be contacted. On 01/21/26 at 11:09 AM, V7 (Physical Therapy Assistant) stated R2 was evaluated for therapy on 05/23/24. V6 stated upon evaluation, R2 was able to ambulate 200 feet without pain.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement fall precautions for a high fall risk resident admitted with a history of fall and left hip fracture.This failure resulted in R5's fall in the facility on 12/25/25, transfer to the hospital, and diagnosis of right hip fracture.This applies to 1 resident (R5) reviewed for falls with injury in a sample of 3.The findings include:R5's Face sheet shows she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with primary diagnosis of fracture of left pubis. R5's other diagnoses include: unsteadiness on feet, abnormalities of gait and mobility, cognitive communication deficit, dizziness, osteoarthritis, and falls.On 1/28/26 at 2:35 PM, V40 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) said she was the nurse taking care of R5 on 12/25/25 when she fell. V40 said she heard R5 yelling and found her lying on the floor at the foot of her bed on her right hip and supporting herself with her right hand. V40 said R5 was confused and tried to stand up to walk to her closet and told V40 she was trying to get her clothes to go home. V40 said she was not aware of any fall precautions that R5 had in place at the time of her fall.V39 (Agency LPN) completed R5's admission Fall Risk Evaluation on 12/17/25 which documented R5 had a history of 1-2 falls in the past 3 months, was incontinent, had 1-2 predisposing conditions, had recently been hospitalized , and had taken 1-2 medications currently or within the previous 7 days that put her at greater risk for falls. The score of V39's Fall Risk Evaluation showed R5 was a high fall risk. V39 did not trigger/implement any fall precautions from this evaluation. On 1/28/26 at 11:41 AM V39 said if a resident is high fall risk, certain precautions should be implemented such as bed alarm or chair alarm, fall mats, and/or frequent rounding. V39 said she remembered R5 getting more confused the longer she was in the facility, then looked through her documentation on R5 and verified that she did not add any fall precautions/interventions after she completed R5's Fall Risk Evaluation. V39 said R5 was a high fall precaution because she had a history of falls but she did not implement any fall interventions because she didn't know R5 very well. V39 then stated based off R5's fall risk score she could have implemented something.R5's Care Plan initiated 12/25/25, after her fall in the facility, states the resident has had an actual fall with serious injury related to unsteady gait. The goal of this Care Plan states the resident's right hip fracture will resolve without complications and interventions include: call don't fall sign placed in room, one time order to send the resident to the emergency room for evaluation and treatment, and continue interventions on the at-risk plan.On 2/2/26 at 2:04 PM, V3 (Acting ADON/Assistant Director of Nursing) said the facility completes a fall risk assessment as part of their standard admission, which highlights anything that puts the resident at greater risk for fall. V3 said a history of falls and a recent hospitalization both put a resident at greater risk for falls. V3 said after the initial fall risk screen is done, if the resident is showing they are at risk for falls, the nurse will be prompted to add a fall risk care plan and fall interventions to help reduce or prevent any future falls from happening. V3 then looked through R5's electronic health record and said V39 (Agency LPN) never implemented any fall precautions when prompted and V29 (RN/ADON) initiated R5's Fall Care Plan on 12/25/25 after her fall and wrote to continue interventions in her at-risk plan, but there was never any interventions documented in the at risk plan. V3 said there were not any fall precautions/interventions in place prior to R5's fall in the facility on 12/25/25. V3 said if a resident comes to the facility for rehab after hip fracture from a previous fall, the first thing that should be implemented for the resident's safety is fall precautions, to prevent any future injuries or falls.On 2/2/26 at 1:07 PM, V48 (NP/Nurse Practitioner) said it is the facility protocol to put fall precautions in place for any resident admitted and assessed to be high fall (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145843 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 13 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 145843 B.

R11's Care Plan created 4/4/23 and last revised 2/3/25 states resident is at risk for alteration in nutrition/hydration status secondary to frequent propelling, coughing/choking episodes, increased lethargy, and need for feeding assistance. Interventions include: provide and serve diet as ordered .Resident is receiving mechanical soft, nectar thick liquids.On 1/21/26 at 12:11 PM, V20 (Dietician) said potato chips are not appropriate for a resident on a mechanical soft diet because they have a crunchy texture and a resident on a mechanical soft diet needs to receive all soft foods. V20 said serving potato chips to a resident on a mechanical soft diet poses a risk of difficulty chewing and choking. V20 said if a family member fills out a menu for the resident on a mechanical soft diet and wants chips, the facility should offer the resident mashed potatoes instead because potato chips are not safe to serve. V20 said R11 should not have received potato chips and the kitchen staff should not have served R11 chips. On 1/21/26 at 1:32 PM, V26 (Dining Room Supervisor) said R11's daughter fills out her menus for R11 in advance and V26 just transcribed what R11's daughter requested.

On 1/21/26 at 1:38 PM, V27 (Dining Room Service Director) said she is the second set of eyes in the kitchen during meal service that double checks to make sure what is plated is appropriate for the prescribed diet, but she missed R11's tray being plated incorrectly. V27 and V26 said potato chips should not have been served to a resident on mechanical soft diet because chips are a choking hazard.The facility's policy titled, Oral Nutrition & Feeding Assistance last revised 01/2026 states, .Policy: It is the policy of [NAME] Healthcare to ensure that all residents receive required oral nutrition and hydration in a safe, dignified manner that minimizes discomfort, fatigue, and risk of aspiration.
