On 2/5/26 at 1:40 PM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON), was observed providing wound care to R38. V2
stated the wound nurse is off today and she is doing wound assessments today, so she will be the one
doing wound care on R38. All supplies are already on bedside table with old bilateral leg dressings off. V2
used NS and 4X4 gauze to wipe R38's left foot, then wiped R38's left toes. V2 put Xeroform over the open
area on top of R38's left foot, then covered the foot with 4X4 gauze and wrapped with rolled gauze from
toes up the leg to the knee. V2 then wrapped R38's leg with ace wrap. R38's right leg from just above his
ankle to his toes were oozing serosanguinous fluid and blood, appearance as very swollen, reddened, with

the wound physician which documents to use Santyl to right lower leg/foot. V2 stated Well, I will have to
correct the orders then. and continued to apply the Xeroform. V2 left the Xeroform on the foot and applied
an absorbent sponge dressing to R38's foot, then wrapped with rolled gauze and ace wrap from toes up to
just below the knee. When asked what the nurses have been doing the past couple of days, R38 stated
They used the Santyl like the order said. They even took the yellow copy of the orders when I got back from
the appointment, so I know they have the orders.
On 2/5/26 at 2:15 PM, after finishing R38's wound care, V2 stated You know I looked at the orders before I
went in there and there was no Santyl order. I see the new orders, and I guess the nurse never put the new
order in after his appointment.
On 2/5/26 at 2:25 PM, V2 returned and stated, I looked and the Santyl order was already in there from
2/2/26, but they did not discontinue the original order for Xeroform.

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
interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to provide sufficient staffing to provide safe and
timely care for residents reviewed for sufficient staffing in the sample of 32. This failure has the potential to
affect all 126 residents living in the facility.Findings include: On 2/9/26 at 2:00 PM, V2, Director of Nursing
(DON), stated their normal staffing pattern is the following: Day and Evening Shifts have 6 Nurses total: 1
on 100-hall, 1 on 200-hall, 1 on 300-400 halls, 1 on Grace North, 1 on Grace South, and one split/floater.
V2 stated there are 12 Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) total: 2 on 100-hall, 2 on 200-hall, 3 split the
300 and 400-halls, and 5 on Grace Points. V2 stated the Night Shift has 4 Nurses total: 1 on 100-hall, 1 on
200-hall, 1 on 300-400 halls, and 1 that splits the Grace Point units. V2 stated the Night shift CNAs have 8
total - 3 on 100-200 halls, 2 on 300-400 halls, and 3 on Grace Point units. V2 stated they use agency as
needed but first they try to get regular staff in, then the charge nurse covers, then the on-call manager
covers, and finally the scheduler covers for call-ins.On 2/2/26 at 9:40 AM, R38 stated he is incontinent at
times, uses his call light and it depends on who is working because some will answer it timely, while others
take a while, especially if not enough people working. R38 stated some days there is enough staff and
some days not, and the nights and/or weekends are usually short. R38 stated it's too easy for them to call
off. R38's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents R38 is cognitively intact.On 2/2/26 at 10:26
AM, R154 stated there is not enough staff. R154 stated he does not know what was going on past weekend
as he had asked for a stool softener in the morning and did not get one until that evening. Stated the CNA
would report have to find a nurse. R154's MDS, dated [DATE], documents R154 is cognitively intact. On
2/2/26 at 11:00 AM, R1 seen sitting in wheelchair with full body mechanical lift device sling under her. R1
stated the staff use that to transfer her, sometimes only with one person because they don't have enough
people. R1's MDS, dated [DATE], documents R1 is cognitively intact.On 2/2/26 at 11:01 AM, R42 stated his
oxygen wasn't working and V7, CNA, stated she would let his nurse know then left. V8, LPN, came to the
room a minute later and stated she would have to switch R42's oxygen from the tank to the concentrator
because the tank was empty. V8 stated R45 wasn't getting ready to leave anywhere when he had been
brought back a while ago to his room, but she wasn't notified his oxygen was low. V8 stated it's not an
excuse but the CNAs have 16 residents each and she has 32 and that's why stuff like this happens.On
2/2/26 at 11:46 AM, After both CNAs and the Nurse was in R130's room for approximately 30 to 45
minutes, other residents were waiting to be taken to the dining room for lunch, one call light was seen on
and unknown how long it has been on. Both CNAs began taking residents to the dining room while lunch
had already begun. R130's MDS, dated [DATE], documents R130 has a severe cognitive impairment.On
2/2/26 at 12:00 PM, V14, CNA, state Today, and usually every day, the 300-hall has one CNA and one
nurse, the 400-hall has two CNAs, and they share the nurse. It always seems like we are short staffed. We
have most of our residents that require assistance with transfers, a lot of (full body mechanical lift device)
transfers that take two people, and we have residents with behaviors and need closely watched. It's hard to
be everywhere, watch everyone, and help everyone with just two of us.On 2/5/26 at 8:55 AM, V12, CNA,
stated The staffing is terrible here, we are really short of staff. It has always been like this but since the new
owners took over, they have been cutting things thin. Today we only have two of us on 400-hall and 1 on the
300-hall. It makes it hard to get things done when most of the residents need assistance with transfers. The
call lights take longer to answer because we are busy with the residents.On 2/5/26 at 10:55 AM, R1 sitting
in wheelchair next to her bed with soft touch call light on

bedside table and within reach. R1 stated she put her call light on, and it was answered once by someone
who told her they would let her aide know. R1 stated that was 20 minutes ago and no one has come back
in. R1 stated she needs to have a bowel movement (BM) and needs someone to put her on a bedpan. R1
put her call light back on and waited. No staff was seen in the hallway or at the desk. V14 answered the call
light at 10:59 AM, shut the light off and told resident she must wait for V12 to get back from break. R1's
MDS, dated [DATE], documents R1 is cognitively intact.On 2/5/26 at 11:02 AM, V12 was seen returning
from break and assisted another resident to the restroom.On 2/5/26 at 11:07 AM, R1 stated I don't get
upset with the staff because they are busy and trying the best they can. When I can't hold it any longer and
have an accident, it is embarrassing and that upsets me because I don't like doing that.On 2/5/26 at 11:10
AM, Both V12 and V14 stated This is what we are talking about, it takes two of us to help these residents
when a lot of them are (full body mechanical lift device) transfers. There is not enough staff here to take
care of these residents.On 2/5/26 at 11:13 AM, Both V12 and V14 was then seen assisting another resident
from her bed to her wheelchair.On 2/5/26 at 11:15 AM, V14 left that resident's room and failed to tell V12
about R1 waiting for a bedpan. On 2/5/26 at 11:18 AM, When V12 was exiting that room, V12 was advised
that R1 has been waiting for a bed pan. V12 had V14 assist her with R1.On 2/5/26 at 11:21 AM, V12 and
V14 finally in with a full body mechanical lift device assisting R1 from her wheelchair to her bed. R1 was
then lowered to the bed, sling removed and R1 was placed on a bedpan. It was approximately an hour
since R1 initially put her light on. On 2/10/26 at 9:35 AM, V31, CNA Supervisor, stated I am given a set
number of CNAs to have working each shift. If our census goes up, they may add one or two. I have had
just about everyone complain that they need more staff to take care of the residents here, but I can't do
anything about it until the census goes up and it gets approved, that's our guidelines I have to follow. When
advised that when all staff are in one room assisting a resident, there is no one else around answering call
lights, assisting the residents, or the case that was observed, no one to take the residents to the dining
room when time to eat. V31 stated I saw that too.On 2/10/26 at 10:40 AM, V26, Mobile Director of Nursing
(DON), stated The only nurses working here work the night shift and that is by choice. We are hiring RNs
and trying to get some more in and even have referral bonuses for staff. I thought some of the managers
were RNs and were in house covering, but now I see they are LPNs.On 2/10/26 at 10:45 AM, V33, CNA,
stated We don't have enough people working here. Having two CNAs covering one hall is not enough. The
residents call lights are delayed and I have seen residents saturated in urine because we can't get to them
in time. There are a lot of residents that need two-person assists like today, my rooms I am covering there
are five (full body mechanical lifts) that require two staff members. The other CNA working with me (V14)
also has five (full body mechanical lifts) so we have to work together to get these ten residents up and
down. That takes a lot of time away from other residents. We just can't get to everyone when they need
us.On 2/10/26 at 10:50 AM, V16, LPN, stated The staffing is horrible here. There are not enough CNAs to
take care of all the resident needs. When asked about RNs working, V16 stated There are mainly LPNs
working, at least days and evenings. The LPNs basically run this building.The Facility's Resident Council
Meeting minutes, dated 9/2/25, documents in part Dietary: being served on time, need more staff.The
Facility's Resident Council Meeting minutes, dated 12/2/25, documents in part Residents would like to invite
the new DON and ADON to the January meeting: re. Call Lights, shower schedules, medications. The
Facility's Resident Council Meeting minutes, dated 1/6/26, documents in part Call lights times being long on
2-10 PM shift.On 2/10/26 at 1:12 PM, V1, Administrator, stated they do not have a staffing policy and that
they follow Federal Guidelines.The Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare &

observation, interview and record review the facility failed to maintain enough batteries for the mechanical
lifts for 1 of 4 residents (R154) reviewed for essential equipment in the sample of 32. Findings include:On
2/2/2026 at 10:26AM R154 in bed with mechanical lift sling underneath him. R154 stated they are
supposed to get me up. R154 stated Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) came in and said the mechanical lift
doesn't work so she is going to tell therapy. R154 stated I guess she is going to pass it off on therapy. On
2/2/2026 10:51 AM V3, and V4 CNA enter room with mechanical lift. R154 stated I have to be at dialysis at
11:00AM. V3 and V4, CNA transferred R154 from bed to wheelchair with mechanical lift.On 2/2/2026 at

lift.On 2/5/26 at 11:20 AM, V12, CNA left the floor to get a battery for the full body mechanical lift device
that was sitting in front of R1's room. V12 stated Most of the time there is only 1 or 2 batteries available to
use. A couple of weeks ago, no one could find a battery, and I think there was only 1 or 2 for all the halls to
share.R154's face sheet dated 2/9/2026 documents a diagnosis in part end stage renal disease,
