What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 4 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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 a comfortable and homelike environment, failed to have a readily available and adequate supply of clean bed and bath linens for residents to perform daily hygiene, bathing, or showers, failed to provide adequate lighting in resident rooms, and failed to ensure a mattress was provided on the bed frame and the bed was made with linen and a pillow for a resident that transferred into a room. This failure affected four residents (R38, R43, R94, and R158) out of a sample of 67 residents and has the potential to affect all 199 residents residing at the facility reviewed for a clean and comfortable homelike environment. Findings include: Facility census, dated 2/23/26, documents 199 residents residing at the facility. R38's face sheet documents diagnoses that include but are not limited to paraplegia, chronic pain, urinary tract infection, and bacterial infections R38's BIMS (brief interview for [NAME] status) score, dated 12/04/25, is 14 which indicates R38 is cognitively intact. R38's physician order, dated 1/07/26, documents, in part, Coccyx: Cleanse with wound cleanser, pat dry with gauze, apply Medi honey and dry dressing, every day shift for wound care and as needed for wound care. On 2/23/26 at 11:00am, R38 said, I don't know what's going on, but there's no rags or towels anymore here (facility). I have to wait to get my dressings changed because the nurses say that they (facility nurses) have to wait for more clean towels and rags to clean me up first before they (facility nurses) can change my dressings. Sometime they (facility staff) bring in stained rags or cut up rags. I'm like you (facility staff) ain't cleaning me with that (stained or cut up rags). Those (stained or cut up rags) look like they're (stained or cut up rags) used to clean toilets or furniture. I want to get out of bed but have to wait because they (facility) don't have rags and towels to clean me up. Man, I'm sorry, it (not having clean washcloths and towels) just makes me mad. On 2/24/26 at 11:31am, a review of the entire facility's washcloths and bath towel was done with V19 (Housekeeping Supervisor/Laundry Supervisor). During observation of the facility's laundry department with V19 (Housekeeping Supervisor/Laundry Supervisor), 15 clean towels and 6 clean washcloths, as well as 4 sheared/cut towels (in pile with clean washcloths) were observed. V19 said, These (4 sheared/cut towels) aren't supposed to be with the clean rags. We (facility) cut the old towels and use them for dust rags. Surveyor inquired where the rest of the clean washcloths and bath towels are located in the laundry department. V19 replied, That's it down here (laundry department). There are (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.

We (facility) started doing our own laundry in January (1/2026), before the laundry was outsourced. I think we have enough (clean bath towels and wash cloths) for the residents but we're (staff) just not getting washcloths and towels fast enough up to the floors.

R158's comprehensive assessment section C Cognitive Patterns dated 02/05/2026 documents a brief interview for mental status score of 10 which indicates R158 has moderate issues with thinking and memory. On 02/24/2026 at 10:30 AM, Resident #158 said, They moved me up here from downstairs after breakfast. They told me they didn't have to tell me anything. I've been up since 4AM and I want to lay down. They didn't have a mattress on the bed. A lady had to bring a mattress for the bed. They still haven't made my bed yet. They said they were going to get sheets but never came back. I'm tired and I want to go to sleep! R158's bed has a fitted sheet that appears to have brown stains. There is no flat sheet, blanket, or pillows on the bed. There is a covered linen cart in the hall but there are no bed linens on the cart at this time. On 02/24/2026 10:33 AM, V20, Registered Nurse (RN) was inquired of R158.

V3 went to R158's room with this surveyor and observed R158'S bed with only a fitted sheet. R158 told V3 what happened when she was transferred to the room. On 02/24/2026 at 12:00 PM, V5, Social Service Director's (SSD) progress note documents R158's transfer was effective at 9:17 AM but was created at 11:41 AM after this surveyor questioned V3 ADON regarding R158's room transfer in which V3 was unaware of.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many to make sure the move was smooth, but I don't normally work with moves, they needed my assistance.

V31 said, R158 is a one person assist to transfer. She has a wheelchair. She is a check and change (incontinent). I was told to transfer her by V5 SSD to 4th floor after breakfast. Two other CNAs helped me. We packed all her stuff and took it upstairs. I transferred her in the wheelchair. I didn't tell V5 that she (R158) didn't want to move upstairs because I didn't know anything. She (R158) just asked why she was being moved out the room. I went to get V5 because she (R158) had a question, but she didn't refuse to go. V5 was at the nurse's station, I told her and V5 said she'd go talk to her (R158). When I took her (R158) up to the room there wasn't a mattress on the bed, so I told V5. When I went back to my floor, I told V25 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse). On 02/24/2026 at 1:55 PM, V25, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was inquired of R158's transfer. V25 LPN said, R158 is alert with some confusion, and she has dementia. She can transfer but needs assistance. She has a wheelchair. When the CNA's moved her, they just told me she was moving. I don't know who told me she was moving. I'm prn (as needed), but I've been here a year. I took the meds up there. I gave her morning meds before I took them. I don't know the nurse's name, but it was around 10 or 10:30 I went up there and gave report. I don't know who's responsible for making sure the room was ready. I didn't go into her (R158) room upstairs. On 02/24/2026 at 2PM, V32, Nurse Supervisor 2nd Floor was inquired of R158's transfer. V32 said, I was just coming in when it was happening, so I don't know about it. On 02/24/2026 at 2:38 PM, V20, RN was inquired of R158's transfer. V20 said, Why was R158 moved up here? After she was up here V25 LPN just came and brought her meds and said she was alert, oriented and cooperative. He never said why she was being moved or anything else. I wasn't even told she has dialysis. On 02/24/2026 at 2:51 PM, R158's bed is made up with a flat sheet, a pillow and blanket. R158 is sitting in her wheelchair next to the bed sorting through her belongings. R158's belongings are on the bed in a bag. There is a rolling walker at the foot of her bed. R158 said, They finally made my bed. My husband's here, he's in the washroom and he's gonna help me put my things away. That's his walker. It took the facility from 10AM to 2PM after R158 was transferred into her new room to have her bed fully made with complete bed linen. On 02/25/2026 at 2:45 PM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON) was inquired of R158. V2 said, I believe the social worker said she was moving. It was more based on her diagnosis due to dementia. I can't remember if she ever tried to leave or had any behaviors. The room was supposed to be set up with the bed made. V25 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) should have given report with all the resident's information. He (V25) has been here over a year, and he works full time. On 2/23/2026 at 11:01 AM, observed R94 resting in bed with V28 (R94's Family Member) at the bedside. R94's section room did not have a overbed or reading light.
