(i) These requirements include provisions to inform and provide written information to all adult residents concerning the right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment and, at the resident's option, formulate an advance directive. (ii) This includes a written description of the facility's policies to implement advance directives and applicable State law. (iii) Facilities are permitted to contract with other entities to furnish this information but are still legally responsible for ensuring that the requirements of this section are met. (iv) If an adult individual is incapacitated at the time of admission and is unable to receive information or articulate whether or not he or she has executed an advance directive, the facility may give advance directive information to the individual's resident representative in accordance with State Law. (v) The facility is not relieved of its obligation to provide this information to the individual once he or she is able to receive such information. Follow-up procedures must be in place to provide the information to the individual directly at the appropriate time. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure written information on advanced directive (AD, a legal document in which a person specified what actions should be taken for his/her health if he/she was no longer able to make decisions for themselves) was provided to the resident and/or resident's representative for one of four residents FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: J52Y11 Facility ID: CA240001502 If continuation sheet 2 of 54 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, for two of 16 residents reviewed (Residents 197 and 29), the facility failed to ensure: 1. Assessment, monitoring, care, and treatment were provided for Resident 197's edema on both lower extremities (legs and feet). This failure had the potential to result in a delay of care and treatment for Resident 197; and 2. Resident 29 was turned and repositioned every two hours and the hand splints (device to prevent contractures [joint stiffening] from developing or worsening) were applied as ordered by the physician. These failures had the potential for Resident 29 to develop pressure ulcer (a wound caused by pressure and/or friction) and worsening of hand contractures. Findings: 1. On August 18, 2019, at 12:09 p.m., Resident was observed lying in bed watching TV. Resident 197 was observed to have her lower extremities elevated on pillows. Resident 197 consented to have the blankets on her lower extremities removed. Resident 197's lower extremities were observed to be swollen from the calf to the toes. In a concurrent interview, Resident 197 stated her lower extremities were swollen. Resident 197 stated she was not aware of what care the facility was providing for the swelling of her lower extremities.

There was no documented evidence the edema on Resident 197's lower extremities was assessed and monitored. On August 22, 2019, at 11:36 a.m., the Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool) Nurse (MDSN) was interviewed. The MDSN stated a resident with edema may be at risk for fluid overload (excessive fluid in the blood), and breathing and skin issues. The MDSN stated there was no documentation of an assessment and monitoring of Resident 197's edema on both lower extremities. The MDSN stated there should have been a comprehensive assessment of Resident 197's edema on both lower extremities so the facility would be able to monitor if Resident 197's swelling was improving or worsening.

Resident 197 was observed to have non-pitting edema (swelling of the skin that does not result in persistent indentation when skin was pressed) from the calf to the toes. During a concurrent interview with the ADON, the ADON stated the licensed nurse should not have missed Resident 197's edema on both lower extremities because it ws very apparent due to its visible appearance. The ADON stated Resident 197's edema on both lower extremities should have been assessed and monitored. The facility policy and procedure regarding edema assessment, care, and management was requested from the ADON. On August 22, 2019, at 3:35 p.m., the ADON was interviewed. The ADON stated the facility did not have a policy regarding the assessment, care, and management of edema. 2. On August 18, 2019, Resident 29's record was reviewed. The record indicated Resident 29 was re-admitted to the facility on July 7, 2019, with diagnoses including sacral decubiti (pressure sore/ injury- a wound by the tailbone caused by pressure and/or friction), respiratory failure (inability to breathe), and anoxic encephalopathy (loss of brain function due to lack of oxygen). a. On August 18, 2019, at 11:40 a.m., Resident 29 was observed in her room in bed. Resident 29's hands were noted to be contracted in a partial fist shape and bent towards her body. Resident 29's hands were observed to not have hand splints on. On August 20, 2019, at 10:18 a.m., an interview was conducted with Resident 29's family member (FM).

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure insulin (medication to treat abnormal blood sugar) was administered as ordered by the physician, for one of 16 residents reviewed (Resident 45). This failure had a potential to result in a delay in treatment and in complications of abnormal blood sugar for Resident 45. Findings: On August 19, 2019, at 3:35 p.m., Resident 45 was observed lying in bed watching TV in her room. In a concurrent interview, Resident 45 stated she had an infection of the wound on her back and groin. On August 20, 2019, Resident 45's record was reviewed. Resident 45 was admitted to the facility on August 2, 2019.
