**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to follow their policy to ensure that call lights are within easy reach for two (R25, and R58) residents out of 8 residents reviewed for call lights in a sample of 23.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include: 1. R25's face sheet shows R25 is an [AGE] year-old male. R25's electronic medical record (EMR) revealed R25 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses not limited to: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, age related nuclear cataract, left eye, blindness left eye, history of falling, presence of pacemaker, wedge compression fracture of third lumbar vertebra, anxiety disorder, and atrial fibrillation. 2. R58's face sheet shows R58 is a [AGE] year-old male. R58's electronic medical record (EMR) revealed R58 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included but were not limited to: Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side, repeated falls, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, epilepsy, dizziness/giddiness, and hypertension. On 2/4/25 at 12:10 PM, R58 was observed in bed, and call light was under the bed. R58 stated that R58 could not reach the call light. V8 (Registered Nurse/RN) stated that R58's call light is not reachable because the call light is under the bed. V8 stated that R58's call light should be reachable so that R58 could call for help as needed. V8 stated that failure to keep the call light within reach could cause R58 to fall. On 2/4/25 at 12:22 PM, R25 was observed in bed, and the call light was not within reach. R25 attempted to reach the call light, R25 stated that R25 could not reach the call light because the call light is far from R25. V11 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) stated that all call lights should be within reach, but R25 call light is not within reach. V11 stated that R25 would not be able to call staff for help to use the washroom and could cause skin breakdown. On 2/5/25 2:26 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that it is V2's expectation that staff will place the call light within the reach of the resident while in bed or in chair, and not under the bed. V2 stated that when staff fails to keep call light within reach, the need of the resident will not be met, and could lead to skin break down or fall for bed bound resident. R25's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] shows R25 is cognitively impaired. R25 functional assessment shows R25 requires extensive assistance with transfers and toileting. R58's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] shows R58 is moderately cognitively impaired. R58 functional assessment shows R58 requires

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their policy to ensure code status should be consistent with plan of care and physician order for one (R29) resident reviewed for advance directives in a sample of 23. The findings include: R29's admission record documented initial admission date on [DATE] with diagnoses not limited to Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with (acute) exacerbation, Dysarthria following cerebral infarction, Ataxia following cerebral infarction, Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following unspecified cerebrovascular disease affecting right dominant side, Unspecified osteoarthritis, Age-related osteoporosis without current pathological fracture, Foot drop right foot, Chronic kidney disease stage 3, Essential (primary) hypertension. On [DATE] At 1:01 pm V2 (Director Of Nursing / DON) stated each resident should have an advance directive whether DNR (Do not Resuscitate) or Full code and have an order. V2 said care plan should be developed for advance directives and make sure that resident's wishes are consistent or match with plan of care. She said if the code status is not consistent with plan of care and physician order, staff could make a mistake during emergency or could create confusion. V2 said staff could perform CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) for resident who is DNR. On [DATE] At 10:09 am V6 (Social Service Director / SSD) stated Advance Directives include code status of the resident whether full code or DNR. She said it is important to determine the code status of every resident so when emergency arises staff would be able know what steps to make or proceed if to resuscitate or perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) for full code or not to resuscitate resident if DNR is in place. V6 said code status needs an order and should be care planned. She said resident's wish for code status, physician order and care plan should match to avoid confusion and to properly care for the resident during emergency. MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated [DATE] showed R29's cognition was moderately impaired. R29's order summary report dated [DATE] with active order not limited to POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment): Do Not Attempt Resuscitation/DNR - Comfort Focused Treatment. R29's care plan documented in part: R29 requested to be a Full code. R29 requires all life saving measures and treatment in the event of any emergency. Perform CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) for medical emergency if needed. Staff will inform caregivers of full-code status. R29's POLST form dated [DATE] showed DNR (Do Not Attempt Resuscitation), comfort measures only. Facility's Advance Directives policy dated 11/2020 documented in part: The plan of care for each resident will be consistent with his or her documented treatment preferences and / or advance directive.

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to follow their peripheral inserted central catheter line dressing change policy, [A] failed change the line catheter dressing when not intact or compromised in any way, [B] failed to label the dressing with date or time, and [C] failed to enter physician orders of dressing changes and intravenous flush orders for one [R61] resident in a sample of 23.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: On 2/4/25 at 9:34 AM, Surveyor observed V8 [Registered Nurse] during medication administration observation. On 2/4/25 at 9:42A M, V8 obtained R61's blood pressure [103/69] with a manual blood pressure device that was on top of the medication cart. After use, V8 then placed the manual blood pressure device back on top the medication cart and did not sanitize the blood pressure device. Surveyor observed R61 resting in bed with left arm midline intravenous catheter dressing halfway lifted completely on one side with no date. V8 [Registered Nurse] stated, I noticed the midline dressing was completely lifted on one side, upon making rounds this morning around 7:30 AM, I have been busy and did not have the time to change the dressing. I am not sure when the midline dressing was last changed, there is no date on the dressing. On 2/4/25 at 1:40 PM surveyor observed the midline dressing was still lifted dressing on R61. V8 stated, I was busy but will change the dressing. On 2/4/25 at 1:43 PM V8 stated, There is no physician order placed for an intravenous catheter dressing change nor any flush orders. The intravenous catheter dressing change should be changed twenty-four hours after the line was inserted, every seven days and or when ever the dressing in not intact. I will place in the standing physician orders now. On 2/625 at 1:22 PM, V2 [Director of Nursing] stated, The midline intravenous or peripheral central catheter line catheter should have the dressing changed twenty-four hours after insertion, then every seven days and when ever the dressing is not intact or compromised in any way. Once the dressing is noted compromised the nurse should immediately change the dressing and label with date and time. If not, the compromised dressing could potentially cause an infection. There should be required physician orders for a mid or central line should include the following: dressing changes, flush orders, and monitor the site for infections should be on the resident's medication administration sheet. If the dressing is not labeled with date, time and there is no physician orders the nurses staff would not know the last time the dressing was changed, which could cause an infection. Policy document in part: Picc Line Dressing Changes dated 3/2014. The purpose of this procedure is to prevent catheter related infections associated with contaminated, loosened, or soiled catheter site dressings. Change picc/mid line catheter dressing twenty-four hours after catheter insertion, every seven days, or if it is wet, dirty, not intact, or compromised in any way.

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 failed to ensure oxygen use and no smoking signage was posted on a resident's (R213) door who's on continuous oxygen, failed to date humidifier bottle for oxygen concentrator and nebulizer mask for 1 (R71) resident, and failed to follow physician order for oxygen liter flow and provide humidification for continuous use of oxygen for 1 (R28) resident out of 3 residents reviewed for respiratory care in a final sample of 23.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include: On 2/04/25 at 11:24 AM, R213's sleeping in bed observed on oxygen at 3 liters per minutes (LPM) via nasal cannula. Surveyor did not observe oxygen in use and no smoking signage posted on R213's door or over R213's bed. On 2/05/25 at 11:22 AM, R213's lying in bed alert and able to verbalize needs. R213 was using oxygen via nasal cannula set to 3 LPM. R213 stated that [R213] has heart failure and [R213's] oxygen saturation goes down at times. There was no oxygen in use and no smoking signage posted on R213's door or over R213's bed. On 2/05/25 at 12:46 PM, interviewed V2 (Director of Nursing) and stated that there should be an order for the oxygen use in the resident's chart. The nurses should follow the physician's order when administering oxygen to residents. The oxygen flow rate is ordered by the physician. V2 stated that oxygen tubing and the water canister for the oxygen humidifier should be changed once a week, and both should be labeled with the date when they are changed. The oxygen concentrators should have the water humidifier to keep the residents' nose from drying. V2 further stated that residents on oxygen use should have an oxygen signage posted on the door that says oxygen in use and no smoking and there should be no one smoking around the area with oxygen. R213's clinical records show an initial admission date of 1/31/25 with included diagnoses but not limited to Heart Failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and Chronic Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia. R213's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] shows R213 is moderately impaired in cognition. R213's physician orders read in part: May use Oxygen at (3) L/min continuous every shift (ordered 2/01/25).

said R28 does not have humidification for continuous use of oxygen. R28 said he is using oxygen continuously and at times his nose is so dry. R28's order summary report dated 2/5/25 with active order not limited to: Oxygen per Nasal Cannula at (3) L/min continuous every shift related to Interstitial pulmonary disease; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Care plan documented in part: R28 is at risk for altered respiratory status / difficulty in breathing related to diagnosis of Interstitial pulmonary disease; Asthma. Give oxygen therapy as ordered. MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 11/6/2024 showed R28's cognition was moderately impaired. Facility's oxygen care and storage policy dated 12/2017 documented in part: Oxygen therapy is administered to the resident only upon the written order of a licensed physician. Oxygen is to be administered at the prescribed rate prescribed by the physician.

On 2/4/25 at 11:50 AM, R71 received in bed, on oxygen, the humidifier bottle, and the nebulizer mask by R71's bed side has no date. At 1:10 PM V13 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated that V13 has been in the facility for seven years, and that R71's humidifier bottle and Nebulizer mask are not dated. V13 stated that R71 is on continuous oxygen at 3 liter/minute for shortness of breath (SOB), and R71's humidifier bottle and nebulizer mask should be changed and dated weekly to prevent risk of infection. On 2/5/25 at 2:26 PM V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated that it is V2's expectation that nurses will change and date humidifier bottle for oxygen concentration and nebulizer mask weekly on Thursday and as needed. V2 stated that, when the humidifier bottle and nebulizer mask are not dated, the staff will not know when the tubing was changed and that can increase the risk of infection for the resident. Documents Reviewed: R71's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] shows R71 is cognitively impaired. R71's Physician Order Sheet (POS) with active orders as of 2/5/25 shows orders: Oxygen per nasal cannula at 3 liter/minute continuous every shift for SOB.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to assess the risk versus benefits of using a bed rail and review them with the resident prior use, and failed to implement person-centered comprehensive care plan addressing the use of the bed rail. These failures have the potential to affect 1 (R213) out of 4 residents reviewed for bed rails in a final sample of 23.
Findings Include: On two separate occasions on 2/04/25 at 11:24 AM and on 2/05/25 at 11:22 AM, R213 was observed resting in bed and noted with one full bed rail up on the right side of R213's bed. On 2/05/25 at 1:50 PM, interviewed V14 (Restorative Licensed Practical Nurse) and stated that restorative does the residents' bed rail assessments, and they need to be completed before using the bed rail. V14 stated that the purpose of the bed rail assessment is to determine the need for use of bed rails prior to use. V14 stated [V14] will first explain to the resident or representative what rails are used for and the complications. V14 stated that the use of the bed rails should be addressed in the care plan and needs to be updated quarterly, annually, and with any changes. V14 stated that all interventions related to the use of the bed rail should be in the resident's care plan for the staff to know what to do for the resident. R213's clinical records show an initial admission date of 1/31/25 with included diagnoses but not limited to Heart Failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and Chronic Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia. R213's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] shows R213 is moderately impaired in cognition. R213's Assist Rail Screening was signed and completed on 2/05/25 and revealed recommended side rail use for R213 was 2 half rails. R213's comprehensive care plan does not address the use of the bed rail to indicate which medical need would be met through the use of bed rails and there is no identification of interventions to address any potential complication with the use of bed rail. The facility's Proper Use of Side Rails policy dated 10/20 documented in part: Side rails are only permissible if they are used to treat a resident's medical symptoms or to assist with mobility and transfer of residents. An assessment will be made to determine the resident's symptoms, risk of entrapment and reason for using side rails. The use of side rails as an assistive device will be addressed in the resident care plan.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to: 1-Perform proper hand hygiene when passing food tray, after handling soiled dishes, and before handling clean dishes. 2- Properly label perishable items inside the walk-in fridge 3- Prevent personal food items inside the walk-in fridge. These failures have the potential to affect all 110 residents receiving food prepared in the facility's kitchen.
Findings include: On 2/4/25 at 9:50 AM, during initial round with V9 (Director of Dietary), surveyor observed the prepared apple sauce dated 1/29/25, concord grape jelly without a discard date, and a personal bottle of energy drink and water inside the walk-in fridge. V9 stated that the apple sauce is over six days and it is expired, and every item should have an in and out date, and serving residents with an expired food without proper storage could make resident sick with food borne illness. V9 stated that personal/staff food or drink should not be inside the walk-in fridge. V9 stated there is only one resident who receives nothing by mouth (NPO). On 2/4/25 at 9:53 AM, V10 (Dietary Aide) stated that V10 kept V10's personal bottle of energy drink and a bottle of water inside the walk-in fridge. V10 stated that keeping personal items in the fridge could cause cross contamination. On 2/5/25 at 11:35 AM, V9 stated it is V9's expectation that staff will perform proper hand hygiene in dish room when moving from a dirty area to a clean area to prevent cross contamination. On 2/4/25 at 12:47 PM, surveyor observed V12 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) passing lunch tray to residents without performing hand hygiene after knocking at the door to pick another lunch tray from the tray cart.
