F 0725 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. Based on observations, as well as resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that there was sufficient nursing staff available to transport residents to activities and to provide licensed nursing staff in the facility's main dining area for the lunch and dinner meals. Findings include: A grievance from Resident 68, dated November 15, 2024, revealed that the resident was unable to go to activities due to nursing aides not being able to take her there. Staff were educated on the importance of ensuring residents were out of bed and transferred to their activities per each resident's preference. Review of the facility's dietary delivery times, undated, revealed that breakfast meals were to be delivered to the units from 7:00 a.m. to 8:15 a.m., lunch meals were to be delivered to the units from 12:40 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the main dining room was to be served at 1:10 p.m., and dinner meals were to be delivered to the units from 5:00 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. Observations in the main dining room for lunch on January 12, 2025, at 1:02 p.m. revealed that only one resident was present (Resident 83). Interview with Resident 83 at that time revealed that he prefers to eat in the dining room and would prefer to eat dinner in the dining room too. Interview with a group of residents on January 13, 2025, at 11:15 a.m. revealed that they preferred to eat their meals in the dining room and were not aware that the dining room was open and available to eat in. They stopped going because they had to wait for long periods of time in the dining room for a nurse to get there. They were too hungry, and said they were served faster if they just ate in their rooms, so they stopped going. Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 4 on January 13, 2025, at 12:19 p.m. confirmed that staff do not use the dining room because it is easier for them to serve the residents in their rooms rather than getting them all to the dining room. Interview with Dietary Manager on January 14, 2025, at 12:20 p.m. confirmed that only one resident comes to the dining room for lunch and stated the residents used to come all the time for lunch and for their monthly special breakfast. The residents really enjoyed it, but there has to be a licensed nurse in the dining room and the residents do not like waiting a long time until one is able to come. Interview with Nurse Aide 5 and Nurse Aide 6 on January 14, 2025, at 1:38 p.m. confirmed that only one resident was in the dining room for lunch, and that was because he takes himself. The other residents are served in their rooms due to staffing. They also stated that they were not able to get the residents to activities because the activity aides used to help transport the residents, but they were let go. Nurse Aides 5 and 6 said they were kept too busy with their daily care tasks. Interviews with Nurse Aide 7, Nurse Aide 8, and Nurse Aide 9 on January 14, 2025, at 1:49 p.m. revealed that they did not have enough staff to get their daily care tasks done. They were still showering residents at 12:00 p.m. and were not able to take all the residents to the dining hall that (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395422 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 18 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 395422 B.

Interview with Director of Nursing on January 14, 2025, at 2:46 p.m. confirmed that the dining room is open for residents for lunch and dinner.
