This affected two residents (#26 and #281) of two residents reviewed for advanced directives. Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #26's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #26 had diagnoses including acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, history of COVID-19, essential hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris. A review of Resident #26's physician's orders revealed his advance directives/code status was a Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care Arrest (DNR CC-A). The order had been in place since 06/13/19. A review of Resident #26's hard chart/paper record located on the unit revealed the first page was Resident #26's face sheet in a plastic sleeve. The plastic sleeve had a green sticker in the lower right corner of the pate that read Resuscitate. A do not resuscitate form was found in the hard chart that identified the resident's code status as DNR CC-A. If this box was checked, the DNR Comfort Care Protocol was to be implemented in the event of a cardiac arrest or a respiratory arrest. The form had been signed by the physician on 06/11/19. On 05/02/22 at 1:37 P.M. interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #378 revealed residents advanced directives/code status were recorded in two different locations. They were identified in the electronic health record (EHR) and the hard chart/paper record. RN #378 opened Resident #26's EHR and revealed the advanced directive was DNR CC-A. RN #378 then opened Resident #26's hard chart and indicated the sticker on the plastic sleeve holding the face sheet read Resuscitate. RN #378 revealed the stickers were put on the face sheet sleeve for quick reference and verified the sticker was not correct for Resident #26. RN #378 revealed the paper do not resuscitate form in the physical chart was correct. 2. Review of Resident #281's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #281 had diagnoses including atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris and essential hypertension, history of COVID-19.

The MAR did not provide documented evidence of the resident's blood glucose levels being rechecked after her blood sugar levels were found to be low on those days. A review of Resident #23's nursing progress notes revealed no documented evidence of the resident's blood glucose level being rechecked an hour after they were found to be low on 04/23/22, 04/29/22 and 04/30/22. The progress notes indicated the resident was provided a snack on two of those days but did not document the resident's low blood sugar was followed up/re-checked to ensure it came up after a snack was given. A review of the physician's standing orders for hypoglycemia revealed if a resident's blood glucose level was below 65 mg/dl, the resident was to be given a house supplement orally, if able to consume. Staff were then to recheck the blood glucose level in one hour. If the blood glucose level remained low or the resident had adverse symptoms, staff were to then notify the physician. On 05/04/22 at 9:41 A.M. an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #379 revealed Resident #23's blood sugars were known to fluctuate between being low and being high. RN #379 revealed the resident was not always compliant with her diet and the family was known to bring her in snacks. That was when her blood sugars tended to go up. RN #379 revealed if a blood sugar was less than 50 mg/dl staff would give (the medication) Glucagon. If the blood sugar was between 50 and 60 mg/dl, staff gave a snack with sugar and re-checked the blood sugar in 15 minutes. The repeat blood glucose levels would be documented in the progress notes and show up under the electronic medication administration record (eMAR) progress notes. On 05/04/22 at 10:10 A.M. an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed, per their hypoglycemia standing orders, the nurse was to recheck a residents blood sugar an hour after a supplement had been given for a blood glucose level less than 65 mg/dl. The DON also confirmed if the blood glucose level remained low, after the supplement was given, the nurse would then have to notify the physician of the low blood sugar. The DON was unable to find documented evidence of Resident #23's blood sugar being re-checked on 04/23/22, 04/29/22 or 04/30/22, when the blood sugar was noted to be (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 366052 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 15 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 366052 B.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on record review, facility policy and procedure review and interview the facility failed to complete accurate assessments and failed to update the physician regarding failure to heal and/or decline in a pressure ulcer for Resident #72 to determine if a change in treatment was indicated. This affected one resident (#72) of one resident reviewed for pressure ulcers. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #72's medical record revealed an admission date of 03/29/22. Resident #72 had diagnoses including generalized muscle weakness, obesity, chronic congestive heart failure, chronic atrial fibrillation, post-surgical malabsorption and iron deficiency anemia. A wound assessment, dated 03/29/22 (admission) indicated Resident #72 had a pressure ulcer on the right heel which was assessed as a suspected deep tissue injury (SDTI) (a persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon or purple discoloration). The wound bed had 100% necrosis (dead tissue). The ulcer measured three centimeters (cm) in length by three cm width with no depth noted. The physician was notified of the SDTI. Skin prep was applied to the heel and heel guards were applied. A baseline care plan dated 03/29/22 indicated interventions to address skin impairment included observing/documenting the location, size and treatment. Report abnormalities, failure to heal, and signs of infection to the physician. A wound assessment, dated 03/31/22 revealed Resident #72 had a SDTI caused by pressure to the right heel. The assessment also indicated the ulcer was a Stage I (non-blanchable erythema of intact skin) on admission and was a Stage I at the time of the assessment. The instructions on the form indicated not to down-stage as a wound healed. The assessment indicated the overall impression was unchanged but did not indicate the presence of necrotic tissue. Measurements remained three cm by three cm with no depth. The treatment remained the same. A comprehensive care plan, created 04/07/22 indicated Resident #72 had impaired skin integrity related to a suspected deep tissue pressure ulcer to the right heel. Interventions included measuring the area every week. Record the size, color, presence and characteristics of drainage. Observe for signs of improvement or decline in healing. Consult with the physician as needed regarding improvement or decline in condition, effectiveness of treatment and/or need for treatment order change. Monitor/document location, size and treatment. Report abnormalities, failure to heal and signs of infection to the physician. A wound assessment, dated 04/07/22 indicated the physician and family/power of attorney (POA) were last updated about the condition of the SDTI on 03/29/22. Although the assessment indicated the ulcer was a SDTI present on admission it continued to indicate it was a Stage I ulcer originally and at the time of the assessment. The assessment indicated the SDTI was unchanged. No necrosis was documented. Wound measurements continued to be recorded as three cm by three cm with no depth. The treatment remained the same. A wound assessment, dated 04/14/22 indicated the physician and family were last updated about the wound on 03/29/22. The assessment continued to indicate the right heel present on admission was SDTI but indicated the original and current stage was listed as Stage I. The assessment indicated the overall impression was that the SDTI was worsening. The wound bed was documented as 100% necrosis.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few wound continued to be measured as three cm by three cm with no depth. The treatment remained the same. Documentation indicated the area appeared darker in color. A wound assessment, dated 04/21/22 indicated the family and physician were last updated about the SDTI on 03/29/22. The assessment continued to indicate there was a SDTI to the right heel with the original and current stage listed as a Stage I. The assessment indicated the SDTI was unchanged. The wound bed was described as 95% necrosis, 5% necrosis. The wound was measured as three cm by three cm with no depth. Another area of the assessment indicated there was a small area that looked like healthy tissue. Some of the heel had hardened. The back of the heel was still soft to touch. A wound assessment, dated 04/28/22 indicated the family and physician were last updated 03/29/22. The assessment continued to indicate the ulcer was a SDTI but pressure ulcer stage was listed as (Stage) I. The assessment indicated the SDTI was improving. The wound bed was described as 95% necrosis and 5% epithelial. On 05/04/22 at 7:45 A.M. interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #382 revealed the SDTI never really deteriorated. On 05/04/22 at 11:54 A.M. interview with LPN #382 revealed the SDTI was necrotic since admission even though she did not note it on all assessments. LPN #382 verified with the necrotic tissue she was unable to know for sure the depth of the wound but stated she was taught to record the depth as 0. LPN #382 verified although the assessments from 03/29/22 to 04/21/22 indicated the ulcer was either unchanged or deteriorated she did not notify the physician during that time frame to determine if a treatment change was indicated. LPN #382 revealed after reviewing the assessments, she should have indicated the wound remained unchanged on 04/14/22 as the area had always been necrotic (although it was not indicated on the prior week assessment). LPN #382 revealed the assessment on 04/21/22 which indicated the wound was 95% necrosis, 5% necrosis was incorrect as it was 95% necrosis and 5% epithelial which would have been an improvement instead of being unchanged. LPN #382 revealed she did not know why any of the assessments indicated the ulcer was a Stage I as it had never been a Stage I.

This affected one resident (#70) of two residents reviewed for falls. Findings include: Review of the medical record revealed Resident #70 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #70 had diagnoses including edema, history of transient ischemic attack, cerebral infarction, protein-calorie malnutrition, cognitive communication deficit, polymyalgia rheumatica, bladder cancer, dementia, anxiety disorder, schizoaffective disorder and Alzheimer's disease. Review of the May 2022 physician's orders revealed Resident #70 had an order (dated 03/16/22) to wear gripper socks when she was not wearing her shoes. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 04/02/22 revealed Resident #70 had severely impaired cognition and required extensive assistance of two staff members for transfers. Further review of the assessment revealed the resident had two or three falls with no injuries since her admission. On 05/04/22 at 8:25 A.M. and 9:09 A.M. Resident #70 was observed without any type of shoe or gripper sock to her left foot. The resident had a dressing in place to her right foot at the time of both observations. On 05/04/22 at 9:09 A.M. interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #379 revealed Resident #70 was ordered to have gripper socks on when not wearing shoes. At the time of the interview, observation of Resident #70 with RN #379 verified the resident was not wearing shoes or gripper socks as ordered.
