This survey cited 6 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0569 Notify each resident of certain balances and convey resident funds upon discharge, eviction, or death. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of resident fund accounts and spend down letters and interview the facility failed to notify Residents #2, #33 and #41, who received Medicaid benefits, when the amount in the account reached $200.00 less than the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) limit of $2,000.00. This affected three of four residents reviewed for management of personal funds accounts. The facility census was 45. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Review of resident accounts revealed the facility managed personal accounts for Residents #2, #33 and #41, and all three received Medicaid benefits. Review of spend down letters dated 10/28/21 for Residents #2, #33 and #41 revealed they were notified their accounts were close to the $2,000.00 Medicaid eligibility limit and each residents' account exceeded the SSI limit at that time. Resident #2's letter indicated she had $3,210.27, Resident #33's letter indicated she had $3,521.15 and Resident #41's letter indicated he had #9,375.51 in their respective accounts. Their letters indicated if their assets reached or exceeded the $2,000.00 limit they would lose their Medicaid eligibility. Review of the current balances and quarterly statements for 2022 revealed Resident #2 had $3,922.75, Resident #33 had $4,000.96 and Resident #41 had $8,958.21 in their personal funds accounts. On 05/05/22 at 11:30 A.M. Human Resource Director #515 verified Residents #2, #33 and #41's accounts exceeded the SSI resource limit and the facility was working with a lawyer to develop trust accounts. On 05/05/21 at 11:35 A.M. the Administrator verified there were no other notifications sent to Residents #2, #33 or #41 or to their responsible parties of the need to spend down or risk losing Medicaid eligibility.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. Resident #41 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Parkinson's disease, dysphagia, Crohn's disease, Asperger's syndrome, major recurrent depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Review of the annual comprehensive assessment MDS 3.0 dated 03/31/22 indicated he was alert, oriented and independent in daily decision making ability. He displayed no behaviors including rejection of care. Resident #41 required the total dependence on two plus staff for toilet use and personal hygiene. He was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. He had physical impairment of one side of the upper and lower extremities. Review of the care plan lacked a plan for incontinence or refusal of care. Interview and observation of Resident #41 on 05/03/22 at 07:35 A.M. revealed he was not wearing a hand splint because his right palm hurt. He opened his hand as much as he could and it was red inside. He reported the brace for his leg was screwed up and did not fit, so he was not going to wear it either. On 05/03/22 at 02:00 P.M. Resident #41 was observed sitting in his wheelchair in the hallway. It appeared his incontinent brief was bulging due to being severely saturated and his clothing was noticeably wet beside his abdomen and thigh. Incontinence care was observed after the wetness was identified. The resident was found to be wearing four saturated incontinence briefs that had leaked out the sides causing his clothing to be wet. Interview with Director of Therapy #517 on 05/04/22 at 8:02 A.M. revealed Resident #41 had a custom wheelchair with a leg rest and cushion. He would tell staff when did not want to use the leg rest. An orthotic specialist talked with him the other day about wearing the orthotic but he still refused. She reported the hand splint was to be worn as tolerated but the resident would ask for it to be off at times. Interview with the assessment nurse LPN #504 on 05/03/22 at 3:00 P.M. revealed she had recently added to the aide folder that residents were to wear one brief when out of bed and no brief when in bed. She verified Resident #41's care plan did not address urinary incontinence or refusal of care. She was unaware he was using four briefs. She reported she would order size 3 X briefs for the resident. LPN #504 reported on 05/05/22 at 9:00 A.M. the resident preferred to wear four incontinence briefs. Two on him and two folded on top of his peri area. There was no evidence root cause for the use of four briefs was identified. Based on record review and interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #23, Resident #29 and Resident #41 were comprehensively assessed and care plans were developed regarding health conditions, psychotropic medication use and activities of daily living. This affected three (Residents #23, #29 and #41) of 19 residents whose care plans were reviewed. The facility census was 44.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #23 revealed an admission date of 03/03/22 with diagnoses including anemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma hypertension, arthritis and corneal transplant. Review of the comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 13 indicating Resident #23 was cognitively intact. She required extensive assistance in the areas of turning and repositioning in bed, moving between surfaces such as from a bed to a chair, dressing, and toilet use and was totally dependent on staff to move about her room and throughout the facility. She was always incontinent of bowel and bladder and experienced occasional pain over five days during the review period. She rated her pain at a four out of ten and had limited activity as a result. She was at risk for pressure ulcers, had one unstageable deep tissue injury (a purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood-filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue due to pressure and/or shear) and received two days of injections and two days of anticoagulants of the seven days. Resident #23 received speech, physical and occupational therapy. The MDS assessment revealed communication, rehabilitation potential, urinary continence, falls, nutritional status, pressure ulcers and pain as triggered care areas to be addressed in the resident's care plan. Review of Resident #23's care plan dated 03/10/22 revealed the resident had a care plan to address short term rehabilitation, a discharge plan to return to the community, advanced directives, nutrition issues related to a fractured hip, decreased intake at meals, weight loss, eating slowly, dehydration and needs for healing. The care plan did not address all the care areas triggered in the MDS assessment such as communication, rehabilitation potential, urinary incontinence, pressure ulcers, falls or pain. 2. Review of the record for Resident #29 revealed an admission date of 02/21/22 with diagnoses of dysphasia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), fibromyalgia, generalized anxiety disorder, type two diabetes, emphysema, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder and hyperlipidemia. Review of the MDS for Resident #29 dated 04/19/22 revealed a BIMS score of 15 indicating she was cognitively intact. She required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers between surfaces, moving throughout different areas of the facility, dressing, and personal hygiene. She was totally dependent on staff for toilet use, was occasionally incontinent of urine and always incontinent of bowel. She received antipsychotics, antianxiety and antidepressant medications seven of seven days for the review period and received oxygen, speech, occupational and physical therapy. The MDS assessment revealed rehabilitation potential, urinary incontinence, psycho-social well being, mood, activities, falls nutritional status, pressure ulcers and psychotropic drug use as triggered care areas to be addressed in the resident's care plan. Resident #29's care plan dated 02/24/22 revealed it addressed discharge planning, advanced directives, diabetes COPD, meal intake, food allergies, weight loss and dysphasia. The care plan did not address all the care areas triggered in the MDS assessment such as rehabilitation potential, urinary incontinence, psycho-social well being, mood, activities, falls, pressure ulcers and psychotropic drug use. On 05/04/22 at 1:01 P.M. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #504 confirmed the care plans for Resident #23 and #29 did not identify and address all triggered care areas.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, facility policy review, review of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Considerations for Preventing Spread of COVID-19, and review of the CDC COVID Tracker website the facility failed to maintain proper infection control procedures to prevent the potential spread of infection including proper COVID screening, use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and hand hygiene practices. This had the potential to affect all 45 residents currently residing in the facility. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Observation on 05/02/22 at 7:35 A.M. revealed the front reception area did not have have a COVID screening questionnaire, thermometer for obtaining temperatures, or a sign in log. Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #504 revealed nothing was required prior to entry. A second interview with LPN #504 at 7:55 A.M. revealed a COVID questionnaire should be completed prior to entry into the facility. Observation revealed LPN #504 had a questionnaire that consisted of international travel, exposure, symptoms, cough or shortness of breath within the last 14 days and a recent COVID infection within 10 days. LPN #504 also obtained temperatures to record on the questionnaire logs. LPN #504 stated all individuals who entered should answer the questionnaire as well as obtain a temperature prior to entering. Interview on 05/02/22 at 7:57 A.M. with State Tested Nursing Assistants (STNA) #500 and #501 revealed they had not screened themselves prior to entering the facility. Interview at 8:09 A.M. with STNA #503 revealed she had not screened herself in prior to working on the floor, and further stated she had not been made aware she was required to screen prior to beginning her shift. Observation on 05/03/22 at 6:50 A.M. revealed a COVID screening log at the front desk with three unreadable names and no recorded temperatures. Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #505 at the time of the observation revealed she was the Infection Preventionist (IP) and she was unable to identify the three names on the sign in sheet and stated all individuals were required to obtain their temperatures prior to entrance. 2. Observation on 05/02/22 at 7:57 A.M. revealed STNA #500 was in Resident #37's room providing care and STNA #501 was in Resident #36's room also providing care and neither had a face shield on. Interview with STNA #500 and #501 revealed they had not been made aware the facility had positive COVID cases and neither were aware of what PPE they should be using. Observation at 8:09 A.M. revealed STNA #503 was wearing a surgical mask but was not wearing a face shield. Interview with STNA #503 at the time of the observation revealed she had not been made aware the facility had positive COVID cases and she was not aware of the required PPE. Observation at 2:40 P.M. revealed a medication cart located outside of the COVID unit that had a disposable isolation gown partially in a trash can on the outside of the medication cart and a disposable stethoscope on top of the lid to the trash can. Interview with RN #505 at 2:50 P.M. confirmed the disposable equipment was outside of the COVID unit and RN #505 stated the isolation supplies should have been discarded on the COVID unit prior to exiting. RN #505 stated due to the facility having positive COVID cases a face shield was required to be worn while in the facility. 3. Observation of wound care on 05/03/22 at 7:00 A.M. for Resident #1 with LPN #506 revealed she cleaned the resident's left heel wound with normal saline.

Review of a facility memo (undated) revealed appropriate PPE must be worn at all times that included an N95 mask and face shield. Residents Affected - Few Review of the CDC guidance updated 09/10/21 titled Interim Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Spread in Nursing Homes revealed Older adults living in congregate settings are at high risk of being affected by respiratory and other pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2. A strong infection prevention and control (IPC) program is critical to protect both residents and healthcare personnel (HCP). Even as nursing homes resume normal practices, they must sustain core IPC practices and remain vigilant for SARSCoV- 2 infection among residents and HCP in order to prevent spread and protect residents and HCP from severe infections, hospitalizations, and death. In general, healthcare facilities should continue to follow the IPC recommendations for unvaccinated individuals (e.g.,use of Transmission-Based Precautions for those that have had close contact to someone with SARS-CoV-2 infection) when caring for fully vaccinated individuals with moderate to severe immunocompromise due to a medical condition or receipt of immunosuppressive medications or treatments. Manage Residents with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection HCP caring for residents with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection should use full PPE (gowns, gloves, eye protection, and a NIOSH-approved N95 or equivalent or higher-level respirator). Source control and physical distancing (when physical distancing is feasible and will not interfere with provision of care) are recommended for everyone in a healthcare setting. This is particularly important for individuals, regardless of their vaccination status, who live or work in counties with substantial to high community transmission or who have: o Not been fully vaccinated; or o Suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection or other respiratory infection (e.g.,those with runny nose, cough, sneeze); or o Had close contact (patients and visitors) or a higher-risk exposure (HCP) with someone with SARS-CoV-2 infection for 14 days after their exposure, including those residing or working in areas of a healthcare facility experiencing SARS-CoV-2 transmission (i.e., outbreak); or o Moderate to severe immunocompromise; or o Otherwise had source control and physical distancing recommended by public health authorities o should still consider continuing to practice physical distancing and use of source control. Implement Universal Use of Personal Protective Equipment for HCP If SARS-CoV-2 infection is not suspected in a patient presenting for care (based on symptom and exposure history), HCP working in facilities located in counties with substantial or high transmission should also use PPE as described below: NIOSH-approved N95 or equivalent or higher-level respirators should be used for: o All aerosol-generating procedures (refer to Which procedures are considered aerosol generating (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 365731 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 10 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 365731 B.
