**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure a comprehensive
assessment, and periodic reassessments of a seatbelt restraint were completed for Resident #88. This
affected one (Resident #88) of one resident reviewed for restraints. The facility census was 93. Findings
include: Review of the medical record revealed Resident #88 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses which included Multiple Sclerosis (MS), chronic pain syndrome, migraine, anxiety, and major
depressive disorder. Review of the 07/04/25 quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed
Resident #88 was alert and oriented to person, place, and time (A&Ox3). The assessment indicated
Resident #88 did not have any restraints, including chair or trunk restraints. She was dependent on her
wheelchair for movement around the facility. Review of the current physician orders revealed no orders for a
seatbelt for Resident #88. Review of the current care plans revealed no mention of Resident #88 using a
seatbelt or trunk restraint. Initial observation of Resident #88 on 08/04/25 at 10:02 A.M. revealed she was in
her wheelchair with a seatbelt fastened around her stomach/abdomen. Interview on 08/05/25 at 11:34 A.M.
with the Administrator and Assisting Administrator #700 revealed both agreed Resident #88 does not have
a seatbelt. Interview on 08/05/25 at 3:45 P.M. with Clinical Manager #510 confirmed Resident #88 did not
have a seatbelt on her wheelchair. Review of progress notes prior to 08/06/25 revealed no mention of
Resident #88 utilizing a seatbelt. Observation on 08/06/25 at 1:34 P.M. of Resident #88 revealed she was in
bed, relaxing after her shower. There was a seat belt on her wheelchair. Interview on 08/06/25 at 1:34 P.M.
with Resident #88 reported she liked wearing the seat belt, it made her feel more secure. She sometimes
felt like she was going to slide out of her chair. She stated she easily takes the seatbelt off and on herself.
Interview on 08/06/25 at 1:45 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #547 and Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA) #562 revealed they were aware Resident #88 had a seatbelt on her wheelchair and liked
to use it to feel more secure. They admitted there was no assessment or direction to ask Resident #88 to
release the seatbelt as it was her choice to wear it. LPN #547 and CNA #562 confirmed Resident #88 could
self-release the seatbelt, as she would get in and out of it multiple times a day. Interview on 08/06/25 at
2:22 P.M. with the Administrator and Assisting Administrator #700 to advise both on the presence of a
seatbelt, confirmed with a second observation and staff interview. Physician order dated 08/06/25 initiated
Resident #88's seat belt use. The order specified the seat belt was per resident request and preference.
Resident #88 shall demonstrate the ability to effortlessly self-release the seatbelt at will and verbalize
understanding of appropriate use. Record review on 08/07/25 revealed the care plan for Resident #88's
Functional Status deficit added an intervention on 08/06/25 asserting the self-releasing seatbelt was per
resident request/preference. Resident #88 demonstrated the ability to release the seatbelt at will. Review of
the facility policy Use of Restraints, updated April 2017, asserted prior to placing a resident in restraints,
there shall be a pre-restraining assessment and review. Also, an ongoing, periodic review of the resident's
ability to self-release the restraint.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure safe smoking
practices for Resident #83. This affected one (Resident #83) of five residents reviewed for smoking. In
addition, the facility failed to ensure there was a fire blanket or fire extinguisher was observed in the
designated smoking area. This had the potential to affect 30 (Residents #2, #4, #7, #10, #19, #23, #27,
#28, #30, #31, #32, #36, #38, #42, #43, #46, #52, #65, #73, #75, #76, #78, #79, #83, #85, #86, #91, #92,
#93, #94 and #96) identified by the facility as residents who smoked. The facility census was 93. Findings
include:Review of the medical record for Resident #83 revealed an admission date of 11/07/19. Diagnoses
included traumatic brain injury, schizoaffective disorder, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
dementia, alcohol use, depression, cocaine abuse and tobacco use. Review of the smoking evaluation
dated 06/06/25 revealed Resident #83 required supervision for smoking. Review of the quarterly Minimum
Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #83 was cognitively intact. He was
independent in all activities of daily living and functional abilities. Review of the care plan dated 07/17/25
revealed Resident #83 was at an increased risk for health issues due to tobacco use. Interventions included
educating about the risks associated with smoking, providing smoking cessation, and always providing
supervision for smoking. Interview on 08/05/25 at 2:55 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #547
revealed Resident #83 could smoke without supervision but was expected to do so at the designated
smoke times. She revealed he was non-compliant with this expectation and smoked whenever he chose.
Interview on 08/05/25 at 3:15 P.M. with Resident #83 revealed he could smoke whenever he chose, and he
did not believe he needed supervision to do so. Interview on 08/06/25 at 9:40 A.M. with Activity Director
#508 confirmed Resident #83 was a supervised smoker. Observation on 08/06/25 at 1:59 P.M. revealed
Resident #83 was outside smoking in the pavilion. Activities Assistant #507 remained in the pavilion with
Resident #83 as well as other residents who were smoking for approximately 20 minutes. No fire blanket or
fire extinguisher was observed in the designated smoking area. Interview on 08/06/25 at 2:31 P.M. with
Activities Assistant #507 confirmed she had been outside supervising smokers and when she came in she
did not ask Resident #83 to come in with her. She confirmed he required supervision for smoking but left
without asking him to come inside because he was often noncompliant with the policy. Interview on
08/07/25 at 7:16 A.M. with the Administrator confirmed there was no smoke blanket or fire extinguisher in
the smoking pavilion. Review of the facility policy titled Smoking Policy - Residents, dated August 2010,
revealed any resident with restricted smoking privileges requiring monitoring would have direct supervision
of a staff member, family member, visitor or volunteer worker at all times while smoking.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, observation, staff interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure
Resident #80's medical record was accurate to reflect the refusal of the right-hand splint. This affected one
(Resident #80) of three residents reviewed for split use. The facility census was 93. Findings include:Review
of the medical record for Resident #80 revealed an admission date of 11/08/19. Diagnoses included
Alzheimer's disease, stroke affecting the right dominant side, diabetes, right hand contracture, depression,
arthritis and muscle weakness. Review of the care plan dated 05/08/25 revealed Resident #80 was at risk
for contractures. Interventions included administering pain medication as ordered, encouraging and
assisting with repositioning as needed, and reporting nonverbal expressions of pain such as moaning,
grimacing, crying or thrashing. The care plan did not include anything regarding the physician's order for the
right hand splint. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed
Resident #80 was moderately cognitively impaired. He required setup help for eating, supervision for oral
and personal hygiene, partial assistance for showering, and substantial or maximum assistance for
toileting. He had functional limitations in range of motion to upper and lower extremities on one side.
Review of the physician's orders for August 2025 revealed Resident #80 was to wear a right hand splint
during the day with it being removed at night for effective contracture management. The order began
12/01/21. Review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for July 2025 revealed the splint was
documented as applied to Resident #80's right hand each day and removed each night. There was no
documented evidence of refusals. Observation on 08/04/25 at 9:22 A.M. revealed Resident #80 was lying in
bed with his right hand contracted. No splint was observed to be in use. Interview on 08/05/25 at 12:47 P.M.
with Registered Nurse (RN) #584 confirmed Resident #80 had a contracture to his right hand. She
confirmed he has had it for more than one year. She revealed he used to have a splint but has not had one
in at least one year because he refused to use it. Interview on 08/06/25 at 2:48 P.M. with Certified
Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) #519 revealed Resident #80 was ordered a splint for his right-hand
contracture, which would be in his bedroom. Observation at the time of the interview confirmed a right-hand
splint in the top drawer of Resident #80's bedside table. Interview on 08/06/25 at 2:51 P.M. with Certified
Nurse Aide (CNA) #619 revealed she had no knowledge of the splint in Resident #80's bedside table. She
was not aware he was supposed to have one; she had never seen it and had never assisted him in applying
it. Interview on 08/06/25 at 2:53 P.M. with CNA #561 and staffing coordinator/CNA #564 revealed CNA
#561 was aware Resident #80 had a hand splint in his bedside drawer. CNA #564 said he was not required
to wear it all the time and often refused to do so. She confirmed refusals would be documented in the
medical record. CNA #564 also revealed if staff had attempted to apply the splint and it was removed by the
resident; it would also be noted in the medical record that an attempt had been made but was unsuccessful.
Interview on 08/07/25 at 8:09 A.M. with Resident #80 revealed he was sitting up in bed eating breakfast. He
confirmed he had used a splint for his hand before, but it was not comfortable, and he would not wear it if
asked. He could not confirm if he was consistently offered the use of the splint. Interview on 08/11/25 at
10:46 A.M. with Rehab Director #582 confirmed she was aware Resident #80 had a hand splint but stated
he hated it and would not wear it for very long. She confirmed staff should be documenting attempts to
apply the splint and resident refusals. She also confirmed the use of the splint should be included in the
residents' care plan. Review of the undated facility policy titled Resident Splint Use Policy and Procedure
revealed the facility would ensure splints were used according to medical orders and care

Based on record review, observation, interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to utilize
enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) during wound care when required. This affected one (Resident #6) of
two residents reviewed for EBP. There were eight (Residents #6, #24, #68, #70, #76, #82, #88 and #92)
who required EBP. The facility census was 93. Findings include:Review of the medical record for Resident
#6 revealed an admission date of 05/28/21 with diagnoses including vascular dementia and diabetes
mellitus with hyperglycemia. A wound progress note dated 08/04/25 indicated the resident had a diabetic
ulcer to the left lateral foot which began on 05/06/25 and required wound dressing changes three times
weekly. Review of Resident #6's physician orders dated 07/07/25 revealed to cleanse the left lateral foot
wound with normal saline, paint with betadine (antiseptic solution), apply calcium alginate (a dressing used
to help maintain a moist wound environment), then cover with an abdominal dressing and gauze wrap three
times weekly and as needed. Observation on 08/06/25 at 11:10 A.M. of wound care for Resident #6 with
Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #510 revealed an EBP sign posted on Resident #6's door with a
supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) including gowns and gloves nearby for staff use. ADON
#510 entered the room, set-up the wound supplies on a clean barrier and proceeded to engage in the
removal of Resident #6's left foot soiled dressing using gloved hands but did not don a gown for EBP.
ADON #510 then cleansed the wound after changing gloves and handwashing but continued to conduct the
wound care without wearing a gown for EBP. ADON #510 completed the wound care by applying the
ordered clean dressings after again changing gloves and handwashing but did so without wearing a gown
for EBP. Interview at the time of the observation with ADON #510 verified a gown was not worn for EBP as
required while performing wound care for Resident #6. Review of the facility policy, Enhanced Barrier
Precautions, revised December 2024 revealed EBP apply when a resident has a wound. Gloves and a
gown are applied prior to performing high contact resident care activity which includes wound care (any
skin opening requiring a dressing).
