F 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. 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 that incontinence care was provided for four (R2, R6, R7 and R12) of four residents reviewed for activities of daily living this failure has the potential to affect all 37 residents currently residing at the facility. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: 7/29/23 at 7:08AM, V5 (CNA) was observed telling V17 that R12 had to get ready to go to dialysis and that V5 was tied up with another resident and asked V17 to please help R12. V5 notified V17 that R12 needed one person assist because she is blind. V17 (LPN) agreed and then proceeded to R12's room to provide R12 assistance with ADL's (Activities of Daily Living). R12 asked V17 to please provide incontinence care because no one had changed her since yesterday. Surveyor observed that incontinence brief was soaked with urine and feces. Surveyor asked R12 if anyone had provided incontinence care to her overnight and R12 said, No, the last time I was changed was yesterday morning. All day yesterday no one changed me. 7/29/23 at 7:27AM Surveyor asked V1 (Administrator) why there were no CNA's in the building last night and why V4 (LPN) was the only staff on duty to care for all 37 residents. V1 said that she thought there were two CNA's scheduled to work last night; one CNA called and said she would be late but then never showed up and the other CNA apparently was not scheduled to work. V1 added that the former Director of Nursing had made the July schedule before resigning and that V1 would be responsible for making the August schedule and was planning to start working on it. V1 was asked if the facility ever uses a staffing agency and V1 responded that she had actually looked into yesterday (7/28/23) and showed surveyor a contract from a local staffing agency. V1 said that she filled out the contract yesterday because she thought she would need a nurse on duty but decided against it once she realized that V4 (LPN) was scheduled to work last night so it wasn't necessary to use agency staff. At 11:17AM, R7's mother went in to R7's room and came out immediately complaining and yelling in the hall about R7's condition. Surveyor asked permission to enter R7's room and R7's mother said, yes, look at my son. He is soaked and dirty. Someone better get in here right now and clean him up. R7's mother was visibly upset, using foul language and walked out of the room to get staff assistance. R7 was noted to be in bed, with incontinence brief visibly soiled and sheets soaked and stained. R7 has communication deficits and could not respond to questions. Surveyor noted V18 (CNA) in the hall and asked if she had provided any care for R7 today and V18 said, no, that's not my side; I think that side belongs to V5 (CNA) but she is in with another resident right now. On 7-29-2023 6:00am V4- (Licensed Practical Nurse) observed to be in R6's room telling the patient, I am the only one here, you will need to wait for the morning shift to come and they will help you with morning care. V4 came out of the room and said, I did not have any Certified Nurse Assistant working with me last night, I was by myself. I did the best I could to keep the patients safe and I was not able to change them all. I called V1 (administrator) to let her know. I know we need to make rounds at least every two hours and provide incontinence care, but I was not able to do it last night, I was alone for 37 residents. R6 is a [AGE] year-old female originally admitted on [DATE] with medical diagnosis that include hypertension, major depressive disorder and personal urinary tract infections.

F 0677 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 5-13-2023 reads: R6 needs extensive assistance of one-person physical help for transfers, walking, dressing, and toileting. At 6:10am, R6 said I am soak and wet, I need help, I do not want to get another urinary infection, I am soak and wet. Last night no one was available to change me, this happens frequently, that I am urinated for long periods of time, for the nurses to come and change the undergarments. I do not like to feel dirty; I was always a well-kept person. At 6:25am V5 (Certified nurse assistant) said, I am the morning Certified Nurse Assistant, I come to work early because I like to get things done and ready as early as possible. We are supposed to make rounds every two hours and as needed, no patent should be let wet for long period of time, they can develop bed sores. I am going to take care of R6. At 6:30am incontinence care observation done, V5 (C.N.A) assisted R6 from the bed to the wheelchair and transported the R6 to the toilet, R6 observed to be able to stand and pivot to the toilet. V5 removed the incontinent brief that appeared to be soiled, V5 said is very heavy and soaked. R6 said please clean me well I smelled like urine. After R6 was cleaned V5 went to make R6's bed and said, I had to wait for the mattress to be clean/ disinfected by housekeeping because the urine penetrated all the linen up to the mattress and has a strong smell of concentrated urine. At 7:00am V4 (licensed practical nurse) told V5 (C.N.A) to clean R2 as soon as possible. R2 is a [AGE] year-old male originally admitted on [DATE] with medical diagnosis that include and are not limited to: nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, anxiety and hemiplegia and hemiparesis. R2 is nonverbal but can follow simple commands answering by nodding his head yes or no. MDS dated [DATE] reads; BIMS unable to be complete. MDS; dated 6-14-2023 reads R2 needs extensive assistance of two staff members for bed mobility, transfers, toileting, and personal hygiene. At 7:20am V5 went in to R2's room to provide incontinence care. R2 observed to have a brown substance in his hands all over the linen and in the mattress. V5 said, I know I need another person with me to perform the care on R2 but I am they only one here, I am going to do it by myself. V5 explained to R2 what she was going to do and R2 nodded his head in agreement. Incontinent care observation done. V5 said, I did not realize R2 was in such a bad shape, he has feces all over, all the bed linen are soiled. I must change everything from his bed. On 7-29-2023 at 12:00pm V8 (former Director of Nursing) said, We do have a big problem with staffing. We do not use any agency. We do not always have a Registered Nurse in the building for a 24-hour period. V8 added that she asked the Administrator and the owner multiple times to please consider using agency staff but they refused every time and assisted that the staffing was sufficient, even though V8 did not agree that the staffing was adequate to meet resident needs. On 7-30-2023 at 2:30pm V1 (Administrator) said, the floor nurse needs to make sure to pass the medications that are ordered, assist the residents as needed, answer the call, the nurse can provide incontinence care to all the residents that need to be change. Part of nursing is to provide incontinence care. The staff needs to be made rounds at least every 2 hours, and as needed, no resident should be soiled for extended period.

V4 was asked how they keep track of how long the resident's feeding has been running or how much they are getting, and she stated that she was the only one working and didn't have time for any of that. V4 was also asked why R11 had orders for tube feeding but there was no set up in the room, nor was he set up for feeding based on observation this morning and V4 said, he only gets a bolus, and I gave it to him.

V17 replied that this was her first day and she was not familiar with the resident but would check the electronic medical record and his orders. V17 proceeded to check orders with surveyor present and confirmed the order in the system. V17 stated that she would have to call the physician to confirm the orders because she wasn't sure what R11 should be receiving and was unclear as to how long the tube feeding should be running for based on how the order was written. V17 confirmed that up to this time she had not administered any tube feedings to R11.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to follow their protocols and have interventions in place for one resident (R1) assessed at very high risk for skin breakdown and failed to document skin impairments upon admission. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: According to the Electronic Health Record (EHR) R1 is a [AGE] year-old female, was admitted on [DATE] and has a diagnosis that include and are not limited to: dementia, cardiomegaly, gastrostomy status and weakness. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated : 3-11-2023 showed R1's cognition is unable to be assessed/15, impaired cognition. MDS dated [DATE] reads: R1 needs extensive assistance of two staff members for bed mobility, transfers, and toileting. Extensive assistance of one person for: dressing, locomotion, eating and personal hygiene. On 7-28-2023 at 1:50pm V9 (R1's Family member) said, R1 was not getting the care she was supposed to, R1 developed a wound while she was at the facility, because she was not provided incontinence care or repositioning. I spoke with administration and told them; I was never informed that R1 had a wound until she was in the emergency room and they showed me the wound. According to R1's electronic medical records progress note dated: 2-15-2023 with small open area on the coccyx will refer to wound nurse. R1's Braden Scale for predicting pressure sore risk dated: 2-15-2023 results show a score of 6 very high risk. R1's note dated: 2-15-2023 skin assessment reads: site coccyx and right antecubital. No documentation of sizes and description of the area was able to be obtained. on 2-17-2023 skin assessment reads: other skin tear to left forearm, both entries do not describe the size or stage of the skin impairment. R1's care plan did not have any interventions for wound care management, no individualized care plan presented. On 7-28-2023 at 11:20am V3- (Licensed Practical Nurse) said R1 was here for a short period of time. We (referring to the nurses) do not do any wound assessments and rounds with the wound care doctor was the responsible of the former director of nursing (V8). On 7-29-2023 at 12:00pm V8 (former director of Nursing) said, I do remember R1, I know that R1's family member spoke to me regarding the wound that it was identified at the hospital and how unhappy the family member was with not knowing about the wound. I was responsible for measuring and rounding with the wound care doctor, I do not remember if R1 was seen by the wound care doctor. 7-30-2023 at 2:30pm V1 (Administrator) said, if a patient is observed to have any skin impairment, the nurse needs to call the Medical Doctor to report the open area, obtain orders, call the family, (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 146013 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 26 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 146013 B.

We also have the wound doctor here weekly to assess all the wounds in house. I was not able to find any wound care notes, shower sheets in R1's file or in medical records. 7-29-23 at 10:40am V6 (Medical Doctor) said, I do remember R1, she was at the long-term care facility for a very short time, a few months only. I do not remember that R1 had a wound, My expectation is that if the nurse identifies a wound, I need to be contacted and the wound care doctor to see the patient and to implement the care needed. According to local hospital skin integrity care note dated 2-9-2023 and 2-10-2023 reads: treatment surface: specialty bed, positioning device: pillow in place, reposition at least every other hour, care given; peri care, skin care and skin protectant. V1 (Administrator) presented policy (dated 4-11), Prevention of Skin Breakdown, reads in part: is the policy to properly identify and assess residents whose clinical conditions increase the risk for impaired skin integrity and pressure ulcers to implement preventive measures and to provide appropriate treatment modality. Inspect the skin every shift with care for signs and symptoms of breakdown. Establish and individualized turning and reposition schedule. Complete shower day worksheet and document findings. Place on a pressure reduction or pressure relief surface in bed and wheelchair. The care plan is to be evaluated and revised on response, outcomes and needs of the resident.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow their policy for tube feedings by not administering tube feedings per physician orders; failed to document that physician was notified of missed feedings; failed to follow nutrition recommendations per nutrition assessments; and failed to document tube feeding intake and/or administration for two (R7 and R11) of four residents reviewed for tube feedings. Findings include: R7 and R11 were reviewed for feeding tube care during this survey.

Review of nurse progress notes does not include any documentation as to why tube feeding was not given. V17 (LPN) was interviewed on 7/29/23 at 1:38PM and asked if R11 has been receiving his tube feedings per physician orders. V17 replied that this was her first day and she was not familiar with the resident but would check the electronic medical record and his orders. V17 proceeded to check orders with surveyor present and confirmed the order in the system. V17 stated that she would have to call the physician to confirm the orders because she wasn't sure what R11 should be receiving and was unclear as to how long the tube feeding should be running for based on how the order was written. V17 confirmed that up to this time she had not administered any tube feedings to R11. 7/31/23 at 3:55PM V1 (Administrator) was asked if she was aware of the order clarification V17 was going to get regarding R11's tube feeding and V1 said that she was not sure and would get back to surveyor.

F 0725 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to have sufficient nursing staff on duty to meet resident needs of providing assistance with ADLs (activities of daily living). This failure applied to four (R2, R6, R7, and R12) of four residents reviewed for ADLs and has the potential to affect all 37 residents currently in the facility. Findings include: Per Form 672 Resident Census and Conditions of Residents dated 7/31/23, there are currently 27 out of 37 residents in the facility who are occasionally or frequently incontinent of bowel and bladder. During initial rounds in the facility on 7/28/23 at 9:22AM, V2 (LPN) confirmed that she was the only nurse on duty and that there is currently no director of nursing. On 7-29-2023 6:00am V4- (Licensed Practical Nurse) observed to be in R6's room telling the patient, I am the only one here, you will need to wait for the morning shift to come and they will help you with morning care. V4 came out of the room and said, I did not have any Certified Nurse Assistant working with me last night, I was by myself. I did the best I could to keep the patients safe and I was not able to change them all. I called V1 (Administrator) to let her know. I know we need to make rounds at least every two hours and provide incontinence care, but I was not able to do it last night, I was alone for 37 residents. At 6:10am, R6 said I am soak and wet, I need help, I do not want to get another urinary infection, I am soak and wet. Last night no one was available to change me, this happens frequently, that I am urinated for long periods of time, for the nurses to come and change the undergarments. I do not like to feel dirty; I was always a well-kept person. At 6:25am V5 (Certified nurse assistant) said, I am the morning Certified Nurse Assistant, I come to work early because I like to get things done and ready as early as possible. We are supposed to make rounds every two hours and as needed, no patient should be left wet for long period of time, they can develop bed sores. I am going to take care of R6. V5 added that she comes in early when there are only two CNA's scheduled so that she can get prepared for the day because it is hard to do so when there are only two CNA's working for the day. After R6 was cleaned V5 went to make R6's bed and said, I had to wait for the mattress to be clean/ disinfected by housekeeping because the urine penetrated all the linen up to the mattress and has a strong smell of concentrated urine. At 7:00am V4 (licensed practical nurse) told V5 (CNA) to clean R2 as soon as possible. R2 is a [AGE] year-old male originally admitted on [DATE] with medical diagnosis that include and are not limited to: nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, anxiety and hemiplegia and hemiparesis. R2 is nonverbal but can follow simple commands answering by nodding his head yes or no. MDS dated [DATE] reads; BIMS unable to be complete.

F 0725 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many At 7:20am V5 went in to R2's room to provide incontinence care. R2 observed to have a brown substance in his hands all over the linen and in the mattress. V5 said, I know I need another person with me to perform the care on R2, but I am they only one here, I am going to do it by myself. V5 explained to R2 what she was going to do and R2 nodded his head in agreement. Incontinent care observation done. V5 said, I did not realize R2 was in such a bad shape, he has feces all over, all the bed linen are soiled. I must change everything from his bed. 7/29/23 at 7:08AM, V5 (CNA) was observed telling V17 that R12 had to get ready to go to dialysis and that V5 was tied up with another resident and asked V17 to please help R12. V5 notified V17 that R12 needed one person assist because she is blind. V17 (LPN) agreed and then proceeded to R12's room to provide R12 assistance with ADL's (Activities of Daily Living). R12 asked V17 to please provide incontinence care because no one had changed her since yesterday. Surveyor observed that incontinence brief was soaked with urine and feces. Surveyor asked R12 if anyone had provided incontinence care to her overnight and R12 said, No, the last time I was changed was yesterday morning. All day yesterday no one changed me. At 11:17AM, R7's mother went in to R7's room and came out immediately complaining and yelling in the hall about R7's condition. Surveyor asked permission to enter R7's room and R7's mother said, yes, look at my son. He is soaked and dirty. Someone better get in here right now and clean him up. R7's mother was visibly upset, using foul language, and walked out of the room to get staff assistance. R7 was noted to be in bed, with incontinence brief visibly soiled and sheets soaked and stained. R7 has communication deficits and could not respond to questions. Surveyor noted V18 (CNA) in the hall and asked if she had provided any care for R7 today and V18 said, no, that's not my side; I think that side belongs to V5 (CNA), but she is in with another resident right now. 7/29/23 at 7:27AM Surveyor asked V1 (Administrator) why there were no CNA's in the building last night and why V4 (LPN) was the only staff on duty to care for all 37 residents. V1 said that she thought there were two CNA's scheduled to work last night; one CNA called and said she would be late but then never showed up and the other CNA apparently was not scheduled to work. V1 added that the former Director of Nursing had made the July schedule before resigning and that V1 would be responsible for making the August schedule and was planning to start working on it. V1 was asked if the facility ever uses a staffing agency and V1 responded that she had actually looked into yesterday (7/28/23) and showed surveyor a contract from a local staffing agency. V1 said that she filled out the contract yesterday because she thought she would need a nurse on duty but decided against it once she realized that V4 (LPN) was scheduled to work last night so it wasn't necessary to use agency staff. On 7-29-2023 at 12:00pm V8 (former Director of Nursing) said, We had constant problems with staffing because the administration and the owner refused to get agency. My last straw, why I left is because I was the only nurse on the floor. Even though the administrator is clinical she wouldn't help. I had to leave because I felt it was a dangerous situation. It was just me and one other staff that were RN's. I had to work almost every day to make sure that we had an RN in the building. Sometimes we would only have one nurse at night even though there are supposed to be two nurses in the building at night. Every shift I had some issue with staffing, at least 80% of the time. I went to the administrator and owner repeatedly and they would not open up the facility to get agency staff. I felt we needed two nurses during the most active times during the day and all times residents are active. One nurse at night is adequate because most residents are sleeping. I was told that one nurse was adequate enough for the whole building. I found CNA's to cover most of the time but there were events when I only had one CNA in the building.

V1 said, She left yesterday. She was here about a week and a half. The one before that was here about a month. I have two RN's on staff, and they are going to be helping me fill in, in the meantime and I am in the process of hiring. The previous DON was V8 (Former DON), I believe she worked here about [DATE] - May 2023. I started February 2023. Up until today I have not had an issue with no RN coverage. I have not had a chance to look at the schedule. There are no RN's on duty today, those scheduled currently are both LPN's. V1 was asked to provide a facility assessment and stated that she was asked for that before but does not have one. At 6am on 7/29/23 and confirmed that there was no RN on duty.

F 0774 Help the resident with transportation to and from laboratory services outside of the facility. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to assist the resident in making transportation arrangements, resulting in the resident missing a post-operative follow up appointment for suture removal following a left leg above the knee amputation. This failure applied to one (R5) of one resident reviewed for transportation. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: On 7/28/23 at 1:30PM, V11 (R5's Family Member) was noted in the hallway asking the nurse on duty V2 (LPN) why the transportation had not been set up for R5's appointment that was scheduled for today at 2:15PM. V11 was visibly upset and irate and stated that she missed work because she was told to come in to accompany R5 to his appointment and now there is no way of getting him there. V11 then confirmed that she was called on July 19th and told that R5's follow up appointment was today to have his staples removed (after amputation) and that the prosthetic representative was going to meet them at the doctor's office to evaluate him as well. V11 added that she cannot take R5 to his appointment because he requires a stretcher and requires medical transport. V12 (R5's Family Member) was also present and showed her cell phone which had a voicemail dated 7/19/23. The message said that it was left by V10 (Restorative Nurse) and that she was calling to confirm that R5 was scheduled for an appointment on 7/28/23 at 2:15PM and in the message, V10 asked for family to please be at the facility by 1PM to accompany R5 to the appointment. V11 and V12 both stated that they were very upset and concerned that R5 was missing this appointment, especially since they missed work to accompany him, however that they will have the facility reschedule the appointment and the prosthetics representative agreed to come to the facility to evaluate R5 instead. R5's progress note include note written on 7/19/23 14:57 by V10 (Restorative Nurse) that reads: Follow up appointment for suture removal is July 28th @ 2:15pm (address listed) POA (V12 name / phone number) called, and message left to see if she will meet at the facility or escort him from this facility. Transportation is still required to be set at this time. No other documentation was found in medical record regarding appointment scheduling for R5. 7/28/23 at 1:39PM, surveyor asked V2 (LPN) if she knew if the transportation had been set up for R5 and V2 stated, I don't do that, nurses don't set up transportation. V2 stated that when she was informed this morning about R5's appointment, she did attempt to call multiple ambulance transport companies, but no one was available and that they required 24-hour notice. V2 added that normally the scheduler arranges the transportation since it requires 24-48 hours' notice but there is currently no scheduler. At 1:42PM, V1 (Administrator) confirmed that V10 (Restorative Nurse) does work at the facility and that she was just helping out with appointments. V1 said that medical records usually takes care of scheduling appointments but V10 was helping out since they didn't have a medical records person until last week. Facility provided Appointments and Transportation policy (undated), which reads: When a resident has an appointment outside of the facility, the staff will make the transportation arrangements, unless the responsible party chooses to make the arrangements themselves.
