Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on review of facility policy, facility records, observation and resident interviews, it was determined
that the facility failed to provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for six of fourteen
residents as required (Residents R500, R501, R502, R503, R504, and R505) on two of three nursing units
second and third floor.
Findings included:
Review of the facility policy Resident Rights dated 3/6/25, indicated the facility treat all residents with
kindness, respect, and dignity.
Review of Title 42 Code of Federal Regulations §483.10(i) Safe Environment. The resident has a right
to a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment
and supports for daily living safely. §483.10(i)(2) Housekeeping and maintenance services necessary

that they will close the hampers and will move them to an area in the hallway away from resident rooms as
much as possible. The residents stated this is not respectful to them and there is no dignity when their
rooms and the hall smell especially when you are eating or have visitors. The 10/1/24 Concern Log and the
1/7/25 and 2/20/25 Resident Council Minutes reflect documentation related to the Hampers and trash being
left open. The residents stated (and the Resident Council Minutes reflect) the Director of Nursing has
addressed this with the staff, and the staff is compliant for a short and then go back to leaving the hampers
open with soiled linen in the hallways. Resident R504 stated, it was discussed t directly with the Director of
Nursing two times over the last couple of months.
During an obsevation of the third-floor nursing unit on 5/19/25, between 11:30 a.m. through 1:00 p.m. the

Provide the required documentation or notification related to the resident's needs, appeal rights, or
bed-hold policies.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of facility policy, clinical record reviews, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to
ensure that the resident and/or their representative received written notice of the facility bed-hold policy at
the time of transfer for five of six residents reviewed for hospitalization (Resident R10, R30, R61, R99, and
R114).
Findings Include:
Review of federal regulation §483.15(d) Notice of Bed-Hold Policy, indicated:
-Facilities must provide written information about these policies to residents prior to and upon transfer for
such absences. This information must be provided to all facility residents, regardless of their payment
source. These provisions require facilities to issue two notices related to bed-hold policies.
-The first notice could be given well in advance of any transfer, i.e., information provided in the admission
packet. Reissuance of the first notice would be required if the bed-hold policy under the State plan or the
facility's policy were to change.
-The second notice must be provided to the resident, and if applicable the resident's representative, at the
time of transfer, or in cases of emergency transfer, within 24 hours. It is expected that facilities will
document multiple attempts to reach the resident's representative in cases where the facility was unable to
notify the representative. The notice must provide information to the resident that explains the duration of
bed-hold, if any, and the reserve bed payment policy. It should also address permitting the return of
residents to the next available bed.
Review of facility Bed Hold and Return Notification dated 3/3/25, previously reviewed 11/1/24, indicated,
You will receive a copy of this agreement upon admission, upon transfer or therapeutic leave, and if any
changes are made to the state or facility policies regarding this matter.
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R10 was admitted /readmitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident R10's Minimum Data Set (MDS - periodic assessment of resident care needs) dated
3/5/25, included diagnoses of coronary artery disease (damage or disease in the heart's major blood
vessels), diabetes (a metabolic disorder in which the body has high sugar levels for prolonged periods of
time), and history of a stroke.
Review of a progress note dated 8/26/24, at 8:13 p.m. indicated, New order obtained by [Nurse Practitioner]
to have resident evaluated by [hospital emergency department] for exacerbation of UTI (urinary tract
infection, infection in any part of the kidneys, bladder or urethra) symptoms, with increased agitation,
physical aggression. Review of resident census information revealed Resident R10 was admitted to the
hospital from [DATE], through 9/6/24.
Further review of Resident R10's clinical record failed to reveal notation that the written notice of bed hold
notification was provided to Resident R10 or the resident representative upon transfer
