F 0580 Chief complaint: Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety [Resident #1] presents with fatigue from [Nursing Facility] with c/o cough and malaise (discomfort) x 3 days. Glucose 360, baseline GCS 14. Bed bound from previous CVA. . Residents Affected - Few Laboratory Results: Chest X-ray - 01/25/25 -Lungs and pleura- low lung volumes. Left mid and basilar interstitial opacities (disorder that causes scarring in lung). No pleural effusion. No pneumothorax. Impression: 1. Low lung volumes. Left mid and basilar atelectasis (condition where the lower lobes of the lungs collapse) or atypical infiltrate (pneumonia). . Differential Diagnosis: Pneumonia, viral upper respiratory infection, acute on chronic CHF exacerbation. In an interview on 02/04/25 at 01:08 PM, the DON stated Resident #1 reported not feeling well on 01/25/25, and RN D was working on contacting the MD through telehealth to get orders, but the EMTs were already entering the facility after Resident #1 called 911 himself. She stated Resident #1 was transported to the hospital where he was admitted and diagnosed with pneumonia. The DON stated Resident #1's O2 level was at 92%, taken on 01/25/25 at 4:33 PM, and he likely could have been treated at the nursing facility, but he insisted on going to the hospital. The DON stated Resident #1 had a history of calling 911 if staff did not get to him quick enough, and he recently called 911 for them to come change his brief. The DON checked Resident #1's chart and stated his blood pressure was 216/114 on 01/24/25, which was considered extremely high. She stated she had not been previously made aware that Resident #1's blood pressure was elevated on 01/24/25. The DON stated with a blood pressure that high, the expectation would have been for a nurse to recheck it manually and if was still high to notify the RP and MD immediately for further instructions. She stated all blood pressures were recorded in the EHR. The DON stated Resident #1's blood pressure ran high on multiple days, and he was on routine blood pressure medication. The DON stated there were no other reports or signs indicative of Resident #1 having an infection. The DON stated not notifying the MD of an extremely high blood pressure could place the resident at risk of a stroke and any change of condition that was not assessed could lead to harm or even death. An attempted interview on 02/04/25 at 01:30 PM with RN D by phone was unsuccessful due to no response to call. In an interview on 02/04/25 at 02:03 PM, LVN A stated she worked 1st shift, Monday-Friday.

LVN A stated she was surprised to find that Resident #1 was at the hospital when she returned to work on 01/27/25. In an interview on 02/04/25 at 02:25 PM, LVN B stated she worked 2nd shift, Monday-Friday. LVN B stated she worked with Resident #1 on 01/24/25 and there were no reports that he felt unwell. She stated Resident #1 was not coughing and did not have any other symptoms or complaints that day. LVN B stated Resident #1 did not have an order for daily vital checks by the nurse, so the medication aides were the only ones who checked his vitals before administering blood pressure medication. LVN B stated the medication aides were supposed to report any abnormal blood pressure readings to the nurse for them to assess and recheck. LVN B stated on 01/24/25, MA C did not report to her that Resident #1's blood pressure was higher than usual. She stated if it had been reported that Resident #1's blood pressure was 216/114, she would have rechecked it manually and notified the MD. In an interview on 02/04/25 at 02:57 PM, MA C stated she worked 2nd shift, Monday-Friday. She stated she worked with Resident #1 on 01/24/25 and checked his vitals at 04:00 PM before administering his blood pressure medication. She stated Resident #1's blood pressure was normally high when she checked it, and she would always tell the nurse. MA C stated Resident #1's blood pressure was high so often she asked the nurse about getting him a PRN blood medication to supplement his routine medication. MA C could not recall what Resident #1's blood pressure was when she checked it on 01/24/25; however, she stated if it was high, she certainly reported it to the nurse because she took her job seriously and would not forget to report something like high blood pressure, especially an extremely high blood pressure. MA C stated all blood pressure checks were supposed to be documented in the residents' EHR. MA C stated she did not normally document her communication with the nurse in the residents' EHR but moving forward she would document it in the progress notes. In an interview and observation on 02/04/25 at 03:45 PM, Resident #1 was dressed and well-groomed with no odors or visible marks or bruises. Resident #1 also did not show any signs of distress. Resident #1 stated he was feeling better but not completely healed since returning to the facility on [DATE] from the hospital. He stated he still had a slight cough. Resident #1 stated he called 911 himself on 01/25/25 because he had been coughing for weeks and was feeling bad on that day. Resident #1 stated he did not tell staff that he was feeling bad because he would have had to wait too long for them to call the MD so he figured it would be quicker for him to call 911 and go to the hospital. Resident #1 stated he always had a cough due to ongoing lung issues, so it was not a big deal until he started feeling worse about a day before he went to the hospital. Resident #1 stated he only told his family member that he did not feel well. Resident #1 stated he had high blood pressure and took medication for it. He stated he was unsure if his blood pressure was high on 01/24/25 or 01/25/25 but it was possible because he did not feel well in general on those days. In an interview on 02/04/25 at 03:56 PM, Resident #1's RP revealed she spoke with the resident on 01/24/25 and he told her that he did not feel well and had a cough. The RP stated the facility did not notify her of a change of condition in Resident #1 on 01/24/25; however, they called her on 01/25/25 after Resident #1 called 911 for himself and she told them to go ahead and transport him to the hospital. In an interview on 02/14/25 at 01:40 PM, the MD stated the expectation was for the nurses to notify him of any blood pressures outside of the parameters. The MD stated he was not notified on 01/24/25 that Resident #1's blood pressure was 216/114. He stated a systolic blood pressure over 180 should have been reported to him.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few a manual blood pressure re-check because the wrist cuffs were not always accurate. He stated if the blood pressure was still elevated, he would have asked for a clinical assessment of Resident #1's physical condition as the blood pressure numbers alone would not have been indicative of a hypertensive emergency. The MD stated he would have likely ordered an adjustment of the medication and monitoring unless there were concerns for Resident #1's physical condition, which he would have then ordered for the resident to be sent out to the hospital. The MD stated Resident #1 ended up going to the hospital on [DATE] and was diagnosed with pneumonia; however, he could not state that the elevated blood pressure the previous day was related. The MD stated the nurses usually notified him of abnormal vitals. Review of the facility's policy titled Notification of Changes, dated 07/13/2015, revealed in part the following: Policy: To provide guidance on when to communicate acute changes in status to MD, NP, and responsible party. The facility will immediately inform the resident; consult with the resident's physician; and if known, notify the resident's legal representative or appropriate family member(s) of the following: . 3. A significant change in the physical, mental or psychosocial status of the resident. Review of an article in the American Heart Association, updated 2025, reflected in part the following: In most cases damage from high blood pressure happens over time. If not detected and controlled, high blood pressure can lead to: -Heart attack -Stroke -Heart Failure -Kidney disease or failure . If your blood pressure reading is higher than 180/120 mm Hg, you could be having a hypertensive crisis. Wait at least 1-2 minutes and then take your blood pressure again.

Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents receive treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' choices for one (Resident #1) of eight residents reviewed for quality of care. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to follow protocols for abnormal vital signs when MA C did not notify the nurse after Resident #1's blood pressure was 216/114 and there was no re-check to ensure accuracy to determine if further treatment was needed. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 02/14/25. The Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy and provided with the IJ Template on 2/14/25 at 05:04 PM. While the Administrator and DON were notified that the IJ was removed on 02/15/25 at 02:34 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that was not immediate jeopardy due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems. This failure placed all residents at risk of a delay in medical evaluation and treatment. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated, 02/04/25, revealed the resident was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included: pneumonia (infection of lungs), hypertension (high blood pressure), type II diabetes (body's inability to regulate blood sugar), muscle weakness, chronic kidney disease, morbidly obese, mild dementia (brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior). Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 02/03/25, revealed the resident had a BIMS score of 12 which suggested he was moderately cognitively impaired. The Quarterly MDS assessment reflected Resident #1 could usually make himself understood and could usually understand others. Further review reflected Resident #1 was dependent on staff for most ADLs. Record review of Resident #1's care plan initiated on 07/12/24 reflected the resident was diagnosed with hypertension and was at risk for fluctuations in blood pressure. Interventions included administer antihypertensive medications as ordered. Monitor for side effects such as orthostatic hypotension (sudden drop in blood pressure when standing from a seated or prone position), headache, vertigo, chest pain, and decreased heart rate. Avoid taking blood pressure readings after physical activity or emotional distress. Monitor for edema (swelling caused by excess fluid buildup in the body's tissue) and document when present.

Left mid and basilar atelectasis (condition where the lower lobes of the lungs collapse) or atypical infiltrate (pneumonia). . Residents Affected - Few Differential Diagnosis: Pneumonia, viral upper respiratory infection, acute on chronic CHF exacerbation. In an interview on 02/04/25 at 01:08 PM, the DON stated Resident #1 reported not feeling well on 01/25/25, and RN D was working on contacting the MD through telehealth to get orders, but the EMTs were already entering the facility after Resident #1 called 911 himself. She stated Resident #1 was transported to the hospital where he was admitted and diagnosed with pneumonia. The DON stated Resident #1's O2 level was at 92%, taken on 01/25/25 at 4:33 PM, and he likely could have been treated at the nursing facility, but he insisted on going to the hospital. The DON stated Resident #1 had a history of calling 911 if staff did not get to him quick enough, and he recently called 911 for them to come change his brief. The DON checked Resident #1's chart and stated his blood pressure was 216/114 on 01/24/25, which was considered extremely high. She stated she had not been previously made aware that Resident #1's blood pressure was elevated on 01/24/25. The DON stated with a blood pressure that high, the expectation would have been for a nurse to recheck it manually and if was still high to notify the RP and MD immediately for further instructions. She stated all blood pressures were recorded in the EHR. The DON stated Resident #1's blood pressure ran high on multiple days, and he was on routine blood pressure medication. The DON stated there were no other reports or signs indicative of Resident #1 having an infection. The DON stated not notifying the MD of an extremely high blood pressure could place the resident at risk of a stroke and any change of condition that was not assessed could lead to harm or even death. An attempted interview on 02/04/25 at 01:30 PM with RN D by phone was unsuccessful due to no response to call. In an interview on 02/04/25 at 02:25 PM, LVN B stated she worked 2nd shift, Monday-Friday. LVN B stated she worked with Resident #1 on 01/24/25 and there were no reports that he felt unwell. She stated Resident #1 was not coughing and did not have any other symptoms or complaints that day. LVN B stated Resident #1 did not have an order for daily vital checks by the nurse, so the medication aides were the only ones who checked his vitals before administering blood pressure medication. LVN B stated the medication aides were supposed to report any abnormal blood pressure readings to the nurse for them to assess and recheck. LVN B stated on 01/24/25, MA C did not report to her that Resident #1's blood pressure was higher than usual. She stated if it had been reported that Resident #1's blood pressure was 216/114, she would have rechecked it manually and notified the MD. In an interview on 02/04/25 at 02:57 PM, MA C stated she worked 2nd shift, Monday-Friday. She stated she worked with Resident #1 on 01/24/25 and checked his vitals at 04:00 PM before administering his blood pressure medication. She stated Resident #1's blood pressure was normally high when she checked it, and she would always tell the nurse. MA C stated Resident #1's blood pressure was high so often she asked the nurse about getting him a PRN blood medication to supplement his routine medication. MA C could not recall what Resident #1's blood pressure was when she checked it on 01/24/25; however, she stated if it was high, she certainly reported it to the nurse because she took her job seriously and would not forget to report something like high blood pressure, especially an extremely (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 455475 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 16 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 455475 B.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few high blood pressure. MA C stated all blood pressure checks were supposed to be documented in the residents' EHR. MA C stated she did not normally document her communication with the nurse in the residents' EHR but moving forward she would document it in the progress notes. In an interview and observation on 02/04/25 at 03:45 PM, Resident #1 was dressed and well-groomed with no odors or visible marks or bruises. Resident #1 also did not show any signs of distress. Resident #1 stated he was feeling better but not completely healed since returning to the facility on [DATE] from the hospital. He stated he still had a slight cough. Resident #1 stated he called 911 himself on 01/25/25 because he had been coughing for weeks and was feeling bad on that day. Resident #1 stated he did not tell staff that he was feeling bad because he would have had to wait too long for them to call the MD so he figured it would be quicker for him to call 911 and go to the hospital. Resident #1 stated he always had a cough due to ongoing lung issues, so it was not a big deal until he started feeling worse about a day before he went to the hospital. Resident #1 stated he only told his family member that he did not feel well. Resident #1 stated he had high blood pressure and took medication for it. He stated he was unsure if his blood pressure was high on 01/24/25 or 01/25/25 but it was possible because he did not feel well in general on those days. In an interview on 02/14/25 at 01:40 PM, the MD stated the expectation was for the nurses to notify him of any blood pressures outside of the parameters. The MD stated he was not notified on 01/24/25 that Resident #1's blood pressure was 216/114. He stated a systolic blood pressure over 180 should have been reported to him. The MD stated if it had been reported, he would have had the nurse to do a manual blood pressure re-check because the wrist cuffs were not always accurate. He stated if the blood pressure was still elevated, he would have asked for a clinical assessment of Resident #1's physical condition as the blood pressure numbers alone would not have been indicative of a hypertensive emergency. The MD stated he would have likely ordered an adjusted of the medication and monitoring unless there were concerns for Resident #1's physical condition, which he would have then ordered for the resident to be sent out to the hospital. The MD stated Resident #1 ended up going to the hospital on [DATE] and diagnosed with pneumonia; however, he could not state that the elevated blood pressure the previous day was related. The MD stated the nurses usually notified him of abnormal vitals. Record review of the facility's policy titled Nursing Policy and Procedure (Blood Pressure-Obtaining), dated October 2020, reflected in part the following: It is the policy of this home that blood pressure readings will be obtained using correct technique to ensure accuracy. Precautions: 1. Report to charge nurse if blood pressure equipment is not in good working order or if cuff is not available in correct size for accurate reading. The cuff is the proper size when the length of the inflatable bladder is at least 80% of the circumference of the resident's arm. 2. Recheck a blood pressure no more than 3 times and wait at least 1 to 2 minutes before repeating the B/P measurement on the same arm.
