indicating the resident was to be supervised during smoking times. The assessment was unscored and did
not indicate if the resident was an independent or supervised smoker.

smoking times.
Interview on 08/05/25 at 10:02 A.M with Resident #21 confirmed he knew of no set smoking times and that
he smoked out on the smoking patio at will. Resident #21 confirmed he managed and maintained his own
cigarettes and lighters and was actively rolling cigarettes during the interview.

the facility had no mechanism for scoring to determine whether a resident was an independent smoker or
required supervision for smoking.
Interview on 08/06/25 at 8:24 A.M. with Activities Director (AD) #254 confirmed she completed smoking
assessments for all the residents. AD #254 confirmed the assessment used by the facility did not include a
scoring mechanism and she used her personal judgment to determine whether a resident was an

an independent smoker and the resident's care plan had not been updated to reflect the resident's smoking
status.

including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute respiratory failure.
Review of the smoking assessment for Resident #18 dated 06/26/25 revealed the assessment was

complication/injuries related to use of tobacco with a preference to smoke cigarettes. The only intervention
was for staff to assist the resident to smoking areas as needed.

impairment.
