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 ADL (Activities of Daily Living) care was provided for dependent residents who required assistance with bladder and bowel incontinence for one of one resident (R56) reviewed for ADL care in the sample of 24. Findings include:R56's face sheet documents resident is an [AGE] year-old admitted to the facility with diagnoses including but not limited to: Acute Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Need for Assistance with Personal Care, Lack of Coordination, and Muscle Weakness.R56's MDS (Minimum Data Set, 7.16.2025) documents a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) of 15 denoting R56 is cognitively intact. R56's MDS documents a functional status of 1 for toileting hygiene/toilet transfer denoting R56 is dependent-helper does ALL of the effort. Resident does not complete the activity. The assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity.R56 ‘s bowel and bladder incontinence care plan (initiated/revised 2.20.24) documents in part, INCONTINENT: Check the resident every 2-3 hours for incontinence and assist with toileting if needed.On 7/22/2025 at 10:50 AM, R56 was observed awake, alert sitting up in bed. R56 said, I am okay, I can be better. I feel that there is a lack of communication around here. I let them know that I want to get up and get dressed. I have a doctor's appointment that I have to be at. They said they would come back at 10:00 AM. Surveyor offered to activate R56's call light. R56 said, I don't know, I might be wet by now. I just want to get up and get dressed and ready for my doctor's appointment. I don't want to get anyone in trouble, I don't want to be a tattle tale. I already called them; they know I have a doctor's appointment.On 7/22/2025 at 11:20 AM, V5 (Registry Certified Nursing Assistant) entered R56's room. V5 said she was going to change R56, she has an appointment today. A blue stripe was noted down the front of R56's brief. V5 said that means she's wet. R56 brief was saturated with urine in the front and the back. The incontinent pad was wet with urine. V5 said, I checked R56 at 7:00 AM, she was dry. This is the first time I'm changing her.On 7/23/2025 at 4:39 PM, V3 (Director of Nursing) said, the importance of prompt incontinence care is to maintain skin integrity and to ensure the resident is kept clean and dry. V3 said some residents should be checked more frequently than others, residents with heavy incontinence should be checked at least every two hours.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure a pressure relieving device was functioning properly for one (R20) who is at risk for pressure ulcers out of seven residents in a total sample of 24.Findings include:On 07/22/2025 at 11:39 AM, R20 lying in bed, wearing a hospital gown, asleep, and in no apparent distress. R20's bed with an air loss mattress and the machine pump (electronic controller). The display screen on the pump (electronic controller) is dark, no items displayed, and no sound heard from the air mattress pump noted. R20's mattress appeared/felt slightly flat and lumpy. The air mattress pump (electronic controller) model noted. On 07/22/2025 at 11:47 AM, V15 (Infection Prevention) pressed the lock button, on and off button on the air mattress pump (electronic controller) but nothing appeared on the screen. V15 stated the pump should be on, it is probably locked. Let me go get the person in charge of handling the mattress pump. On 07/22/2025 at 11:51 AM, V6 (Restorative Nurse/Fall Coordinator) pressed a lot of the buttons on the air mattress's pump and the screen did not appear on. V6 plugged in a hose/tube from the pump (electronic controller) tighter. V6 stated I just pulled it out and pressed it back in, and as you can see it is inflated up. The electronic controller's screen displayed a light, air loss mattress settings, and able to hear sound coming from the pump (electronic controller). V6 stated that R20 does not have any pressure sores. V6 stated that the importance of a functioning air loss mattress is to assist in prevention of wounds, and some are ordered to assist in helping wound healing. V6 stated that the purpose of this alternating low air loss mattress is to change and distribute the area based on the weight distribution. Facility document provided dated 07/22/2025, documents in part, the low air loss alternating pressure mattress is not designed to stay inflated indefinitely during a power outage. If the power goes, the pump will stop functioning, and the mattress will gradually deflate. The mattress is designed with a foam base that provides cushioning and support, but it will not maintain its full inflation without power. R20's current care plan documents in part R20 is at risk for pressure ulcer/skin breakdown d/t (due to) impaired mobility, right pelvic fracture, and incontinence. Intervention notes air mattress.R20's active physician order set documents in part air mattress dated 02/17/2023.R20's air mattress manufacturer manual documents in part controller is inoperable. May be caused by a power surge substantial enough to overload the internal circuitry. May be caused by other internal damage/failure. Patient is uncomfortable or mattress feels lumpy. May be caused by excess or insufficient pressure. Solution notes make sure controller is plugged in and turned on, i.e.: LED (light-emitting diode) is on and solid green.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to a.) provide adequate supervision and monitoring for fall risk residents and b.) follow their policy to ensure accident prevention measures were in place by not ensuring a dependable locking mechanism on a soiled utility room door. These failures affect R22, R34, R55, R60, R63, R67 and all residents residing on the second floor. Findings include: 1.On 07/22/2025 at 10:37AM, inside the solarium (identified as the fourth-floor dining room) R22, R34, R55, R60, R63, and R67 were observed sitting inside of the fourth-floor dining room unsupervised and unattended. R55, and R22 were sitting in wheelchairs. R34, R60, R63, and R67 were sitting in geriatric chairs. R63, R22, and R60 observed with seat pad alarms in their seats. On 07/22/2025 at 10:38AM, V7 (Registered Nurse/RN) walks inside of the dining room and administers medications to a resident and exits the dining room at 10:39AM leaving the residents unsupervised and unattended again. All six residents were unsupervised and unattended until 10:42AM, when two staff members (identified as V8/Life Enrichment Associate (LEA) and V9/LEA) entered the fourth-floor dining room to perform activities with the residents. On 07/22/2025 at 10:50AM, V6 (Restorative Nurse/Fall Coordinator) was located inside of the fourth-floor dining room and states all residents in the facility are at risks for falls including R22, R34, R55, R60, R63, and R67. V6 states the seat pad alarms are placed underneath the resident and alerts the staff if a resident has positional movement. V6 states seat pad alarms do not prevent a resident from falling but can help reduce the risk of a resident falling. V6 states he is in the process of updating the resident's fall risk assessments because they do not generate a fall risk score upon completion. V6 states he has been educating the staff on watching and monitoring the residents because this helps better meets the resident's needs. V6 states there should be someone in the dining room monitoring the residents at all times, especially residents who are at risk for falls. V6 states if there is no one monitoring the residents inside the dining room, then residents can potentially fall and injure themselves. On 07/22/2025 at 11:21AM, V7 (Registered Nurse/RN) states there is supposed to be someone inside of the dining room monitoring the residents at all times. V7 states the CNAs/certified nursing assistants are not assigned designated times to monitor the dining room. V7 states the CNAs take turns going in and out of the dining room to check on the residents. V7 states if a staff member is not located inside of the dining room to monitor residents, then the residents could potentially fall and sustain injuries. V7 states she is not sure why a staff member was not inside of the dining room monitoring the residents when she arrived in the dining room previously at 10:38AM. V7 states she did not assign any of the CNAs to monitor the dining room after she was made aware that fall risk residents were inside of the dining room unsupervised and unattended. Facility Policy dated 06/15/2024, titled Fall Protocol and Prevention documents in part, Standard: Residents will be free from falls and injury. Interventions: 4. Resident assessed at risk for falls will be monitored. 11. All departments are encouraged to assist in the prevention of accidents and falls.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 2. On 7/23/25 at 1:45 PM, observed the soiled utility room door not locked/secured on floor 2. There was a five-button locking system on the door. Writer opened/accessed the room without utilizing a code to unlock the locking mechanism on the door.Located inside of the soiled utility room:-four sharps containers with visible syringes/needles, razors inside-a one-gallon bottle with liquid inside, with a label that read Disinfectant-a large rolling trash can/dumpster with bags of trash inside-a hopper with standing water-a toilet plunger-approximately nine glass vases-a smaller room with a door, with a sticker that read Bio-Hazard on the door. There was no lock on the door.Located inside of the smaller room inside of the soiled utility room:-approximately twelve red trash bins with labels on them that read Only for Isolation Trash-two filled sharps containers On 7/23/25 at 1:51 PM, V26 (Registered Nurse) stated this is he soiled utility room. It locks automatically usually. There is no door handle. Maybe with a door handle people can make sure it shuts. It has happened before where it does not lock all the way. We call maintenance to fix it. Maybe it sticks, malfunctions. Residents should not be in here. Isolation trash cans and filled sharps containers are stored here. We take the sharps containers off the medication carts when they fill up and store them in here. Housekeeping then disposes of the filled sharps containers. I assume the disinfectant is used to clean. There is potential harm to the residents to cut themselves with the glass vases if they become broken. There is potential harm to the residents if they drink the disinfectant. There is potential harm for the residents to get stuck and infected by the used needles and razors in the sharps containers. On 7/23/25 at 4:45 PM, V3 (Director of Nursing) stated the soiled utility room should be closed. Stored in the room are waste products, biohazard/infectious material, sharps containers with sharps in them that are for disposal. The room should not be accessible to the residents. The door should be kept always locked. There is a risk for potential harm depending on the type of resident. If they are alert and strong enough to open the bottle. The second floor has mostly confused residents. Residents in wheelchairs that are able to propel themselves. Residents that need assistance. The residents in wheelchairs can go anywhere, any room on the unit if they can propel themselves. There is potential for the residents to be injured by the items in the soiled utility room. They could get stuck by used needles. We have a sufficient number of nurses and CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) to get the needs of the residents met. We have adequate staffing. We do nursing and CNA competencies, online lessons. We do in-services including infection control, procedures. Facility policy Biohazards, 6/2024, documents in part: Standard: To protect residents, staff, and visitors from exposure to biohazardous materials and ensure compliance. Facility policy Accident Prevention, 1/2025, documents in part: Standard: Ensure the safety and wellbeing of residents, staff and visitors by minimizing risks of accidents. Facility ensures accident prevention measures are in place (i.e. clutter free hallways, available handrails, proper lighting, equipment inspections, etc) Facility Sharps Policy, 11/15/24, documents in part: Standard: To establish protocols for the safe handling, disposal, and prevention of injuries from sharps (e.g. needles) in order to protect residents, staff, and visitors from exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, facility failed to provide medication in compliance with standards of professional practice for five residents (R19, R32, R39, R58, R77) out of 7 residents reviewed for medication administration in a sample of 24 residents.Findings include: On 07/22/2025 at 10:11AM, V4 (registered nurse) during medication administration, V4 had 5 residents (R19, R32, R39, R58, R77) that did not receive their scheduled 9:00 AM medications. Per the standards of professional practice, scheduled medications may be administered one hour before or one hour after of the medication schedule and are considered late when given more then an hour past the scheduled time. On 07/24/2025 at 10:12 AM, V4 (registered nurse) stated, I have 5 residents remaining to administer medications to. Per the standards of practice, you have one hour before the scheduled time and an hour after the scheduled time to pass the medications. Anything after one hour past the scheduled medication time is considered late, so the 5 residents are going to receive their medications late. Sometimes residents ask for things, and I assist them, which is why I am late with the medications administration. On 07/22/2025 at 11:10 AM, V3 (director of nursing) stated, The expectation is that medications are to be passed on time. The window for medication administration is for it to be passed an hour before and an hour after. Anything given more than an hour past the scheduled time is considered late. Typically, the medications are passed on time. It depends what the situation is why the nurses could not pass the medications on time, but the expectation is that medications are to be given on time.
