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 observation, interview, record review, and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure a low air loss mattress (a specialized therapeutic surface to help redistribute pressure across the body to prevent pressure ulcers) was initiated for Resident #32 as recommended per Wound Nurse Practitioner (NP) #479. This affected one (Resident #32) out of two residents reviewed for wounds. The facility identified 13 residents (#6, #7, #9, #11, #29, #30, #31, #32, #35, #36, #40, #48, #57) with wounds. The facility census was 57. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of medical record for Resident #32 revealed an admission date of 03/27/25 and diagnoses including diabetes, muscle wasting, chronic kidney disease, and peripheral vascular disease. Review of the Braden Scale dated 03/27/25, completed by Registered Nurse (RN) #440, revealed Resident #32 was at risk for developing pressure ulcers as she was very moist and had limited mobility. Review of Wound NP #479's progress note dated 03/27/25 revealed Resident #32 had barriers to wound healing that included immobility, malnutrition, and atrophy (muscle or tissue wasting). Wound NP #479 evaluated Resident #32, who was admitted with pressure ulcers to her left and right buttock. Wound NP #479 recommended Resident #32 to have a low air loss mattress and to be reposition every two hours. Review of the Medicare Five-Day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #32 had intact cognition. Resident #32 required total dependence of staff assistance with toileting and transfers and was unable to ambulate. Resident #32 required substantial to maximum staff assistance with rolling left and right in bed and putting or taking off footwear. Resident #32 was at risk for developing pressure ulcers and had pressures ulcers present on admission. Review of Wound NP #479's progress notes dated 04/28/25, and 05/05/25 revealed Wound NP #479 continued to recommend a low air loss mattress. Review of Wound Tracking dated 05/12/25, completed by RN/ Wound Nurse #403, revealed Resident #32 was found to have an intact non-blanchable (stays red/purple when skin pushed indicating little or no blood flow to area) purple discoloration to her left medial heel that measured two centimeters in length and two cm in width. Review of Wound NP #479's progress note dated 05/19/25 revealed Wound NP #479 continued to recommend a low air loss mattress. Resident #32 had a new deep tissue injury (DTI) to her left medial heel (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few that was purple and non-blanchable. Wound NP #479 recommended to clean the wound bed, pat dry, apply skin prep (creates a protective layer on the skin to shield it from adhesive trauma, friction, and moisture damage) cover with ABD (large bulky gauze pad) and wrap with kling daily. Review of Wound NP #479's progress note dated 05/26/25 revealed Wound NP #479 continued to recommend a low air loss mattress. Review of the care plan dated 05/28/25 revealed Resident #32 was at risk for complications related to the pressure ulcer to her left heel. Interventions included administer treatments as ordered, monitor for signs of infection, instruct and assist to shift weight frequently as tolerated, and follow facility policies for the prevention and treatment of skin breakdown including use of pressure reducing mattress to bed. There was nothing in the care plan regarding a low air loss mattress. Review of June 2025 Physician Orders revealed Resident #32 had an order dated 03/27/25 for a pressure reducing mattress. She also had orders dated 04/21/25 to wear heel protectors while in bed and off load her bilateral heels with pillows while in bed. Review of Wound NP #479's progress note dated 06/02/25 revealed Resident #32's left medial pressure ulcer declined and was classified as an unstageable (full- thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of the tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it was obscured by slough (dead skin) and/or eschar). Wound NP #479 described the wound as having serosanguinous (combination of watery fluid and bloody) drainage) drainange with slough (dead tissue). Wound NP #479 changed the treatment to clean the wound bed, pat dry, apply mesalt (absorbs drainage from the wound) cut to size, apply ABD pad and wrap with Kerlix daily. Wound NP #479 continued to recommend a low air loss mattress. Review of Wound NP #479's notes dated 06/09/25 and 06/16/25 revealed Wound NP #479 continued to recommend a low air loss mattress. Observation on 06/16/25 at 4:00 P.M. and 06/17/25 at 7:26 A.M. revealed Resident #32 had a pressure reducing mattress, but it was not a low air loss mattress. Observation of wound care on 06/17/25 at 10:40 A.M. completed by RN/Wound Nurse #403 revealed the wound care was completed as ordered. RN/Wound Nurse #403 described the wound as an opened unstageable pressure ulcer with serous (clear or pale-yellow fluid) drainage that contained white slough. Resident #32 did not have a low air loss mattress in place. Interview on 06/17/25 at 10:51 A.M. with RN/Wound Nurse #403 verified Resident #32's left medial heel was opened with drainage and contained slough. RN/Wound Nurse #403 verified per Wound NP #479's weekly progress notes from 03/27/25 to 06/16/25 that Wound NP #479 recommended a low air loss mattress. RN/Wound Nurse #403 verified Resident #32 had not had a low air loss mattress since admission. Interview on 06/18/25 at 10:05 A.M. with Wound NP #479 revealed she evaluated all wounds at the facility including Resident #32 weekly. Wound NP #479 verified she had recommended a low air loss mattress and that was still her recommendation as she felt it would help with wound healing and prevention especially since Resident #32 at times refused to wear her heel protectors. Wound NP #479 revealed the left medial heel was a DTI that was purple and non-blanchable but then declined to an unstageable pressure ulcer. Wound NP #479 said it was hard to say if the low air loss mattress could have prevented the DTI and/or decline as there were several other contributing factors including Resident (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 365460 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 16 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 365460 B.

Review of the facility policy labeled, Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Care Protocol dated January 2025 revealed the facility would use the criteria as part of the resident's comprehensive assessment to determine risk of pressure ulcer development and development of resident's plan of care. The policy revealed all facility beds had a pressure redistribution mattress that reduced friction and shear during movement. The facility would select a surface that met the residents' needs based on risk assessment and current skin issues that could include a low air loss mattress. The policy revealed treatment of pressure ulcers would vary depending on orders from the consulting wound specialist and the nurse would carry out the treatment as ordered and implement measures to prevent pressure ulcers.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, review of medical record and review of facility policy the facility failed to ensure passive range of motion (PROM) and splinting restorative programs were completed per therapy recommendations. This affected two residents (#22 and #53) out of two residents reviewed for ROM. The facility identified 21 residents (#4, #6, #8, #10, #11, #12, #14, #15, #18, #19, #22, #23, #25, #26, #30, #32, #34, #35, #43, #51 and #53) with impaired ROM. The facility census was 57. Findings include: 1. Review of medical record for Resident #53 revealed an admission date of 02/14/25 and diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side, dementia, and heart failure. Review of physician orders and electronic task bar from 02/14/25 to 06/16/25 for Resident #53 revealed there were no orders or documentation for restorative range of motion and/or splints. Review of the Occupational Therapy (OT) Evaluation and Plan of Treatment dated 03/13/25 completed by Occupational Therapist (OT) #478 revealed Resident #53 had a cerebral infarction, muscle wasting and need for assistance with personal care. The evaluation revealed Resident #53 had impaired bilateral upper and lower range of motion and had functional limitation due to contractures to his bilateral upper hands and wrists which he had resting hand splints for. The evaluation recommended OT therapy three times a week for two weeks with a goal to safely wear his resting hand splints on his bilateral hands for up to four hours. The evaluation revealed he was wearing the splints currently less than 30 minutes. Review of the OT Discharge Summary dated 03/24/25 completed by OT #478 revealed Resident #53 was discharged from therapy and recommended a restorative PROM (passive range of motion) program with splint wearing schedule. The summary revealed upon discharge Resident #53 was safely wearing his bilateral hand splints for 30 minutes. Review of the Restorative Nursing Program Communication Form dated 03/24/25 completed by Former Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA)/ Rehab Director #900 revealed Resident #53 was recommended a PROM to his upper and lower extremities and to be out of bed in a wheelchair three to five times a week. There was nothing on the communication form regarding bilateral hand splints. Review of the care plan dated 03/28/25 revealed Resident #53 had a self-care deficit. Interventions included therapy evaluation and treat as ordered, assisting with toileting as applicable, and encouraging to do as much as possible. There was nothing in the comprehensive care plan regarding contractures to his upper and lower extremities, PROM and/or bilateral hand splints. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #53 had impaired cognition. Resident #53 had impairment to both upper and lower extremities. Resident #53 was dependent of staff for his activities of daily living (ADLs) including toileting hygiene, bathing, rolling left and right in bed and transfers. There was no restorative ROM and splinting completed during this assessment period.

There were no splints to his bilateral hands. Interview on 06/17/25 at 11:14 A.M. with Rehab Director #477 and OT #478 verified Resident #53 had significant contractures to his bilateral hands and wrists. OT #478 verified Resident #53 was discharged on 03/24/25 from OT and it was recommended per the discharge summary that Resident #53 receive restorative nursing PROM of bilateral upper extremities and to follow with splint wearing schedule. OT #478 verified a restorative nursing program communication form was provided to nursing for a PROM program to his upper and lower extremities three to five days a week. OT #478 was unsure why the bilateral hand splints were not included in the communication form but felt it was because Resident #53 did not tolerate the splints well in therapy. OT #478 verified documentation on the discharge summary indicated Resident #53 did tolerate wearing the bilateral hand splints safely for 30 minutes and the discharge summary recommended a splint wearing schedule. Interview on 06/17/25 at 11:28 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN)/ MDS #416 revealed she oversaw the restorative programs at the facility. RN/MDS #416 revealed therapy placed restorative communication forms in her mailbox for anyone that was to be on a program.

Interview on 06/17/25 at 2:00 P.M. with the Director of Nursing and Clinical Director #450 verified Resident #4 had an order dated 03/18/25 for a weekly weight and to notify the physician if greater and or less than three pounds from admission weight. They verified Resident #4 had no record a weight was completed from 05/01/25 to 05/28/25. They thought Dietician #476 or Dietician Tech #449 made notification regarding all weight changes including as ordered. They verified they had no further evidence the physician was notified each time the weekly weight was greater or less than three pounds from the admission weight including on 03/18/25, 04/03/25, 04/17/25, 05/01/25, 06/06/25, and 06/12/25 in which the weight was recorded greater or less than three pounds from her admission weight. Review of the facility policy labeled, Weight Protocol dated February 2025 revealed residents were to be weighed monthly or as ordered by the physician. Reweights would be completed if a five pound or greater variance was noted from the last recorded weight. Reweights would be completed within 24 to 72 hours. The nutrition clinician would send a physician significant weight notification with documentation of residents' weight changes for one, three and six months along with any recommendations. The notification was to be sent even if no recommendations were made.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, record review, facility policy review, and review of the memorandum from the Department of Health and Human Services, the facility failed to initiate and use enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) when appropriate for Resident #32. This affected one resident (#32) out of two residents observed for use of enhanced barrier precautions. The facility identified 17 residents (#7, #14, #16, #18, #22, #29, #30, #32, #33, #35, #38, #40, #43, #52, #53, #56, and #57) on enhanced barriers. Facility census was 57. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of medical record for Resident #32 revealed an admission date of 03/27/25 and diagnoses including diabetes, muscle wasting, chronic kidney disease, and peripheral vascular disease. Review of the Medicare Five-Day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #32 had intact cognition, required total dependence of staff assistance with toileting and transfers, and was unable to ambulate. Resident #32 required substantial to maximum staff assistance with rolling left and right in bed and putting or taking off footwear and had pressures ulcers present on admission. Review of the Wound Tracking dated 05/12/25 completed by Registered Nurse (RN)/Wound Nurse #403 revealed Resident #32 was found to have an intact non-blanchable (stays red/purple when skin was pushed indicating little or no blood flow to area) purple discoloration to her left medial heel. Review of the care plan dated 05/28/25 revealed Resident #32 was at risk for complications related to the pressure ulcer to her left heel. Interventions included administering treatments as ordered and monitoring for signs of infection. There was nothing in the care plan regarding EBP. Review of June 2025 Physician Orders revealed Resident #32 did not have an order for EBP. Review of Wound Nurse Practitioner (NP) #479's progress note dated 06/02/25 revealed Resident #32's left medial pressure ulcer declined and was classified as unstageable (full- thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of the tissue damage within the ulcer could not be confirmed because it was obscured by slough (dead skin) and/or eschar). Wound NP #479 described the wound as having serosanguinous (a combination of watery fluid and blood) drainage with slough. Observation on 06/16/25 at 4:00 P.M. revealed Resident #32 had no signage and/or personal protective equipment (ppe) on or near her door indicating she was on EBP. Observation of wound care on 06/17/25 at 10:40 A.M. completed by RN/Wound Nurse #403 revealed she performed hand hygiene, applied gloves but no gown and proceeded to unwrap the ace wrap and dressing to Resident #32's left foot. RN/Wound Nurse #403 performed hand hygiene and applied new gloves but did not don a gown to cleanse the left medial heel with normal saline. RN/Wound Nurse #403 described the wound as an opened pressure ulcer with serous (clear or pale-yellow fluid) drainage that contained white slough.

RN/Wound Nurse #403 verified Resident #32 did not have a physician order for EBP, and there was no signage in her room indicating to staff that she was on EBP. RN/Wound Nurse #403 verified that she did not follow EBP including wearing a gown during the wound care. RN/Wound Nurse #403 revealed she felt it was an oversight because at first Resident #32's wound was not opened but verified when the wound opened the facility should have obtained an order for EBP and implemented EBP during care including wound care. Residents Affected - Few Interview on 06/17/25 at 2:13 P.M. with the Director of Nursing and RN/Clinical Director #450 they verified staff should have implemented EBP which would included use of a gown during Resident #32's care including wound care. Review of the memorandum, QSO-24-08-NH, entitled Enhanced Barrier Precautions in Nursing Homes, dated 03/20/24, by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Department of Health & Human Services revealed enhanced barrier precautions were indicated for residents with wounds and/or indwelling medical devices even if the resident was not known to be infected or colonized with a multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO). The effective date for implementation of enhanced barrier precautions under the guidelines was 04/01/24. Review of facility policy labeled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) dated November 2024 revealed EBP was an infection control intervention designed to reduce the transmission/ spread of multidrug resistant organisms. The policy revealed precautions were used in conjunction with standard precautions and expanded to the use of ppe with the donning of a gown and gloves during high contact resident care activities. Indications for EBP use included residents that had indwelling medical devices, or wounds. The policy revealed high contact care activities for which EBP was indicated included wound care and treatments. Communication to staff for the use of EBP was through EBP signage.

F 0881 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of the hospital record dated 11/27/13 revealed an assessment and plan for an antibiotic as Resident #11 would likely need lifelong prophylactic treatment. Review of the hospital record dated 10/14/15 revealed Resident #11 had an order for cephalexin four times daily and would receive it indefinitely due to a history of a spinal abscess. Residents Affected - Some There was no McGeer criteria available for review related to this antibiotic use. Review of Resident #11's nursing and physician progress notes from 06/24/24 to 05/22/25 revealed no evidence the physician reviewed or evaluated the necessity and appropriateness for the ongoing antibiotic use. Interview on 06/17/25 at 2:14 P.M. with Clinical Director #450 and the Director of Nursing confirmed Resident #11's antibiotic order had no stop date or indication of duration and indicated the physician was aware of its ongoing use but was unable to verify or provide evidence the physician had reviewed its appropriateness or continued necessity. 4. Review of the facility policy, Antibiotic Stewardship Program, dated November 2017 revealed the infection preventionist monitored and supported antibiotic stewardship activities, and the Director of Nursing (DON) conveyed expectations to nursing staff and set practice standards for assessing, monitoring and communicating change in resident condition by front line nursing staff. The facility followed McGeer criteria for identification of infections and tracked how and why antibiotics were prescribed, how often and the number of antibiotics prescribed, and adverse outcomes if any from antibiotic use. Antibiotic use, tracking and trending was compiled monthly and results reported to infection control committee and quality assurance team. Clinicians, nursing, staff, residents and families were provided with antibiotic stewardship education. Every dose, duration, route and indication of every antibiotic was documented in the medical record and reviewed monthly to assess compliance. Providers utilized the assessment criteria when considering antibiotic use. There was no evidence on the facility policy of its annual review. Interview on 06/17/25 at 8:54 A.M. with Clinical Director (CD) #450, who was the infection preventionist, verified the above findings. CD #450 confirmed McGeer's criteria was not assessed for any residents who had chronic infections or came from the hospital but were noted on the infection log as not meeting criteria. If a resident was involved with an infection disease specialist, then McGeer's was not completed. Instead, orders were followed and any follow-up completed. The facility did not get involved with assessing or determining appropriateness or necessity of antibiotic use unless the infection started in the facility. CD #450 denied getting involved with any physicians outside of the facility because of being able to communicate with the facility physician, as other physicians were difficult to reach. CD #450 reported talking with the facility physician about antibiotic use but was unable to confirm or provide evidence for reviewing McGeer criteria for the residents unless it was reflected in a progress note. CD #450 stated the facility physician had a tendency to order antibiotics as did the hospitals. Interview on 06/17/25 at 10:56 A.M. with the DON verified being a participant in staff training and confirmed there was no known staff training on antibiotic stewardship. The DON confirmed they lacked documentation for the assessment and evaluation of the necessity and appropriateness for ongoing antibiotic use.
