F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, observation, staff interview, review of facility policy, review of the employee handbook, and review of the facility handbook, the facility failed to ensure resident dignity was maintained while watching television. This affected three (#24, #29, and #31) of five residents reviewed for dignity. The facility census was 44. Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #24's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease, dementia, dysphagia, schizoaffective disorder, restlessness and agitation, kidney failure, and heart disease. Review of Resident #24's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 04/12/23, identified the resident as having severe cognitive impairment. The resident required extensive assistance of two staff for a majority of the activities of daily living (ADLs). 2. Review of Resident #29's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease, depression, dysphagia, insomnia, bipolar disorder, legal blindness, and cognitive communication deficit. Review of Resident #29's annual MDS 3.0 assessment, dated 04/17/23, identified the resident as having a cognitive impairment. The resident required extensive assistance of between one and two staff for ADLs. 3. Review of Resident #31's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included heart failure, respiratory failure, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and difficulty in walking.

F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, resident interview, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure residents were informed of changes in treatments and healthcare. This affected one (#38) of three residents reviewed for participation in treatment and healthcare changes. The facility census was 44. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #38's medical record identified admission to the facility occurred on 04/12/23 with medical diagnoses including cellulitis of bilateral legs, major depression, high blood pressure, morbid obesity, anxiety, and diabetes. Review of Resident #38's admission assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #38 was cognitively intact, was able to walk with supervision, and was occasionally incontinent of bowel and bladder. Review of Resident #38's physician progress notes revealed an in-person visit occurred on 05/17/23 at which time the physician ordered the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (Cipro) 500 milligrams (mg) twice a day for 30 days for cellulitis. Further review of the medical record identified on 05/18/23 a physician order to discontinue the Cipro was noted; however, with no documentation as to the reason. Interview with Resident #38 on 05/30/23 at 8:02 A.M. stated she was never given the Cipro her physician ordered and she had no idea why it was not given to her. Resident #38 confirmed she had cellulitis in both legs and believed she needed the medication. Resident #38 stated she also had her urine checked for an infection, but never heard anything back regarding the results. Resident #38 confirmed she tried to keep up with her medical conditions. Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #214 on 05/30/23 at 10:41 A.M., while LPN #214 reviewed Resident #38's medical record, and stated she thought the reason Resident #38's antibiotic was not started was because of an elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) laboratory value that returned on 05/19/23. The interview confirmed Resident #38's urinalysis that was completed on 05/19/23 was negative; however, there was no evidence Resident #38 was notified of the laboratory results. The interview confirmed there was no written evidence of any discussions with Resident #38 regarding her healthcare and or changes in treatment which included why she was not started on the antibiotic medication.

F 0678 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide basic life support, including CPR, prior to the arrival of emergency medical personnel , subject to physician orders and the resident’s advance directives. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, medical record review, staff interviews, and review of facility policies, the facility failed to ensure basic life support items were immediately accessible to all staff on the emergency cart. The facility also failed to ensure all staff were trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This had the potential to affect 11 (#9, #11, #16, #18, #20, #21, #24, #34, #35, #36 and #39) of 11 residents who the facility identified had orders in place for initiation of CPR in the event of cardiac or pulmonary arrest. The facility census was 44. Findings include: Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #207 on [DATE] at 7:27 A.M. stated, in the event a resident with full code orders (full life saving measures, including CPR, for a person with cardiac or respiratory arrest) experienced cardiac or respiratory arrest she would find the emergency cart and see if the supplies needed were inside. Observation on [DATE] at 7:27 A.M., during interview with RN #207, revealed RN #207 approached the emergency cart which was located in the general sitting area on the second floor. RN #207 attempted to open the cart; however, it was secured shut with a plastic zip-tie. The tie was not breakable and RN #207 identified she would have to find scissors to get it open. Interview with RN #207 at that time verified the emergency cart was not readily accessible in an emergency situation. Further observation on [DATE] at 7:46 A.M. revealed RN #207 and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #214 were able to obtain a pair of scissors and open the emergency cart. Interview with the facility Director of Nursing (DON) on [DATE] at 9:47 A.M. stated she was new to the facility and started approximately one month ago. DON stated she could not locate any emergency procedures in the facility for the facility emergency cart. DON confirmed the emergency cart was secured with a plastic zip-tie that was not the break away type, and DON confirmed staff would have to have something to cut open the cart to see what supplies are located in the emergency cart. Interview with DON on [DATE] at 10:03 A.M. stated she was sending a maintenance staff member to buy some break away plastic locks to place on the crash cart as there were none in the facility. Interview with Human Resources Manager (HRM) #254 on [DATE] at 9:55 A.M. confirmed not all direct care staff members were trained and certified related to CPR. The HRM #254 provided a listed of facility direct care staff who do not have CPR certification which included Registered Nurse (RN) #202, RN #205 and RN #208); Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #211, LPN #214, LPN #215, LPN #217, LPN #218, LPN #219 and LPN #220. Review of the facility emergency crash cart and automated external defibrillators (AED) policy, dated 2022, revealed the facility will ensure they maintain at least one emergency cart per nursing care floor with additional carts as deemed necessary. The purpose of the policy was to ensure that all supplies critical to basic life support are readily available on the emergency cart. The policy identified the emergency cart is checked every 24 hours and after every use. AED use is authorized from personnel certified in CPR and use of the AED. Nursing staff should be familiar with the content located on and within the emergency crash cart. The policy did not have documented evidence the cart (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 365452 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 17 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 365452 B.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, medical record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure nutritional tube feedings were administered as ordered. This affected one (#42) of two residents reviewed for tube feedings. The facility census was 44. Findings include: Review of Resident #42's medical record revealed an admission date of 01/24/23 with medical diagnoses including motor vehicle accident (MVA), acute and chronic respiratory failure, dysphagia, multiple fractures, and tracheostomy status. Review of the quarterly assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #42 had impaired cognition and was totally dependant on staff for care. Review of Resident #42's written plan of care for nutrition revealed the plan identified Resident #42 received nothing by mouth and received tube feeding as ordered by the physician. Review of the physician orders revealed Resident #42 was ordered the nutritional intervention of Isosource 1.5 Cal at 65 cubic centimeters per hour (cc/hr) for nutrition. Review of the medication administration record dated 05/23/23 revealed an unidentified night nurse shift documented Resident #42 received Isosource 1.5 Cal at 65 cc/hr. Observation of Resident #42 on 05/24/23 at 7:27 A.M. revealed Resident #42 was located in bed, near the window and had a gastrostomy tube (g-tube) for feeding. Further observation revealed Resident #42 had a feeding tube pump and a bag of Fibersource HN 1.2 Cal running at 65 cc/hr. Observation and interview with the facility Director of Nursing (DON) on 05/24/23 at 9:47 A.M. confirmed Resident #42's tube feeding that was currently being administered was not the correct nutritional supplement.

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, medical record review, staff interview, review of manufacture instructions, and review of a facility policy, the facility failed to provide adequate care and services to maintain a tracheostomy in a safe manner. This affected two (#16 and #42) of two residents reviewed with a tracheostomy. The facility identified Resident #16 and Resident #42 as the only residents in the facility with a tracheostomy. The facility census was 44. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #42's medical record revealed admission to the facility on [DATE] with medical diagnoses including motor vehicle accident (MVA), acute and chronic respiratory failure, dysphagia, multiple fractures, and tracheostomy status. Review of the quarterly assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #42 had impaired cognition and was totally dependant on staff for care. Review of Resident #42's physician orders revealed an order for tracheostomy (a surgically created hole in the trachea that provides and alternate airway for breathing) care every shift twice a day and as needed with a disposable #6 Shiley inner cannula. Resident #42 had physician orders to suction as needed as well. Observation of Registered Nurse (RN) #207, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #214, and the facility Director of Nursing (DON) on 05/24/23 at 2:20 P.M. revealed RN #207 noted she was new at the facility and was going to have LPN #214 and the DON assist her to perform tracheostomy care and suctioning for Resident #42. LPN #214 obtained a sealed tracheostomy care kit which contained a plastic compartment tray, vinyl gloves; a water proof drape, one trachea dressing, two gauze pads, one tracheostomy brush, two pipe cleaners, two cotton tip applicators, and one pop-up basin. LPN #214 was on the left side of the bed with RN #207 on the right side of the bed and the DON was located at the foot of the bed during the observation. Continued observation on 05/24/23 at 2:27 P.M., revealed LPN #214 obtained a pair of clean gloves, donned them, and then obtained a sealed tracheostomy suction tube. LPN #214 opened the package and pulled the suction tube out of the sterile package with the clean gloves. LPN #214 then leaned over to Resident #42 and determined he needed repositioned. LPN #214 touched the suctioning catheter, including the tip, on Resident #42's gown and bedding. LPN #214 and RN #207 repositioned Resident #42. LPN #214 then set the suction catheter outside of the package onto Resident #42's bedside stand while turning on the suction machine. LPN #214 attached the suction catheter to the machine and proceeded to suction Resident #42 all while wearing the non-sterile gloves and using the same catheter that had touched multiple items. Interview on 05/24/23 at approximately 2:30 P.M. with LPN #214, following completion of suctioning for Resident #42, confirmed she should have maintained a sterile procedure during the entire suctioning event. RN #207 and the DON confirmed they did not stop and or intervene during the procedure and all confirmed the procedure should be done sterile. The interviews confirmed the staff did not feel comfortable and confident in performing suctioning of Resident #42. Observation on 05/24/23 at 2:33 P.M. revealed LPN #214, RN #207 and DON were observed with LPN #214 on the left side and RN #207 on the right side of Resident #42.

F 0695 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Resident #42. LPN #214 had a sealed disposable trachea care kit and opened the kit in sterile fashion. LPN #42 donned non-sterile gloves and removed the old tracheostomy dressing. LPN #214 and RN #207 then began removing Resident #42's tracheostomy tie (which holds the tube in place). Resident #42's tracheostomy tie was completely loose on the left side and no nurse was holding onto the tracheostomy. The surveyor intervened immediately and requested the nurse to hold onto the tracheostomy tube. Interview at that time with all staff members present in Resident #42's room stated there were unsure why they were removing Resident #42's tracheostomy tie as they did not have a new one at the bedside to replace it, and the tracheostomy tie was reattached. The staff then removed the disposable inner cannula and began cleaning it. LPN #214 then re-inserted the disposable inner cannula back into Resident #42's tracheostomy. LPN #214, RN #207, and the facility DON could not locate any disposable inner cannulas in Resident #42's room. Interview with LPN #214, RN #207 and the DON on 05/24/23 at 2:47 P.M. following the procedure confirmed they did not throw the inner cannula away and replace it with a new one. The interview identified they did not know the inner cannula was disposable. The interview confirmed the facility did not have procedures in place to follow to perform tracheostomy care with the disposable inner cannulas. The interview confirmed Resident #42's physician orders are for a #6 Shiley disposable inner cannula to be changed twice a day. Interview with LPN #214, RN #207, and the DON confirmed they all need training on the proper procedures for suctioning and tracheostomy care. Review of the undated manufacture instructions for the disposable Shiley inner cannula revealed the instructions were located in each box of cannulas provided to the facility. The instructions revealed these are single use only with instructions to remove the inner cannula disposable (DIC) from the tracheostomy tube by squeezing the tabs on the 15 millimeter (mm) connector until both snap-locks clear the ridge lock on the outer cannula, withdraw slowly, dispose of the removed DIC, the new DIC may be moistened with water soluble lubricant to facilitate insertion, insert the DIC with the 15 mm snap-lock connector and lock into position, to lock the DIC in place, push the connector until both snap-locks clear the ridge lock on the outer cannula, and the patient's respirations and vital signs should be routinely evaluated after locking the DIC in the tube. Review of the facility policy titled, Tracheostomy Care-Suctioning, dated 2022, revealed the policy identified tracheal suctioning is performed by licensed nurse to clean the throat and upper respiratory tract of secretions that may block the airway. The policy identified using sterile technique, open the suction catheter kit, and put on the sterile gloves. Consider the glove on your dominant hand sterile and the non-dominant hand clean. Using the clean hand, pour sterile normal saline into the disposable sterile solution container. Remove the suction catheter from it wrapper with the sterile hand, coiling it to keep from touching non-sterile objects. Attach the suction catheter to the tubing, using clean hand and turn on the suction machine. Suction a small amount of solution through the catheter by occluding the suction control valve with the thumb of the clean hand. Insert the catheter into the tracheostomy tube opening gently during the inspiration until resistance is felt. DO NOT apply suction while inserting. Apply suctioning intermittently by removing and replacing the thumb of the clean hand over the suction control valve. Simultaneously withdraw the catheter rolling it into your dominant hand. This should take approximately 10 to 15 seconds. 2. Review of Resident #16's medical record revealed admission to the facility on [DATE] with medical diagnoses including acute respiratory failure, tracheostomy status, Barrett's esophagus without dysplasia, cellulitis of the neck, muscle weakness, depression, and unspecified mood disorder.

LPN #214 indicated she was getting ready to perform tracheostomy care for Resident #42. LPN #214 had a sealed disposable trachea care kit and opened the kit in sterile fashion. LPN #42 donned non-sterile gloves and removed the old tracheostomy dressing. LPN #214 and RN #207 then began removing Resident #42's tracheostomy tie (which holds the tube in place). Resident #42's tracheostomy tie was completely loose on the left side and no nurse was holding onto the tracheostomy. The surveyor intervened immediately and requested the nurse to hold onto the tracheostomy tube. Interview at that time with all staff members present in Resident #42's room stated there were unsure why they were removing Resident #42's tracheostomy tie as they did not have a new one at the bedside to replace it, and the tracheostomy tie was reattached. The staff then removed the disposable inner cannula and began cleaning it. LPN #214 then re-inserted the disposable inner cannula back into Resident #42's tracheostomy. LPN #214, RN #207, and the facility DON could not locate any disposable inner cannulas in Resident #42's room. Interview with LPN #214, RN #207 and the DON on 05/24/23 at 2:47 P.M. following the procedure confirmed they did not throw the inner cannula away and replace it with a new one. The interview identified they did not know the inner cannula was disposable. The interview confirmed the facility did not have procedures in place to follow to perform tracheostomy care with the disposable inner cannulas. The interview confirmed Resident #42's physician orders are for a #6 Shiley disposable inner cannula to be changed twice a day. Interview with LPN #214, RN #207, and the DON confirmed they all need training on the proper procedures for suctioning and tracheostomy care. Review of the undated manufacture instruction for the disposable Shiley inner cannula revealed the instructions were located in each box of cannulas provided to the facility. The instructions revealed these are single use only with instructions to remove the inner cannula disposable (DIC) from the tracheostomy tube by squeezing the tabs on the 15 millimeter (mm) connector until both snap-locks clear the ridge lock on the outer cannula, withdraw slowly, dispose of the removed DIC, the new DIC may be moistened with water soluble lubricant to facilitate insertion, insert the DIC with the 15 mm snap-lock connector and lock into position, to lock the DIC in place, push the connector until both snap-locks clear the ridge lock on the outer cannula, and the patient's respirations and vital signs should be routinely evaluated after locking the DIC in the tube. Review of the facility policy titled, Tracheostomy Care-Suctioning, dated 2022, revealed the policy identified tracheal suctioning is performed by licensed nurse to clean the throat and upper respiratory tract of secretions that may block the airway. The policy identified using sterile technique, open the suction catheter kit, and put on the sterile gloves. Consider the glove on your dominant hand sterile and the non-dominant hand clean. Using the clean hand, pour sterile normal saline into the disposable sterile solution container. Remove the suction catheter from it wrapper with the sterile hand, coiling it to keep from touching non-sterile objects. Attach the suction catheter to the tubing, using clean hand and turn on the suction machine. Suction a small amount of solution through the catheter by occluding the suction control valve with the thumb of the clean hand. Insert the catheter into the tracheostomy tube opening gently during the inspiration until resistance is felt. DO NOT apply suction while inserting. Apply suctioning intermittently by removing and replacing the thumb of the clean hand over the suction control valve. Simultaneously withdraw the catheter rolling it into your dominant hand. This should take approximately 10 to 15 seconds. 2.
