F 0637 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Progress note dated [DATE] revealed Resident #2 received an order for a STAT chest x-rays, lab work, and continue with Albuterol treatments three times per day for 7 days for congestion.Record review of Resident #2's care plan, dated [DATE], and revised [DATE], revealed a care plan for altered respiratory status related to cough and/or congestion. Interventions included administer medications as ordered and monitor for effectiveness and side effects. A care plan dated [DATE] revealed Resident #2 had a care plan for oxygen therapy as needed for low oxygen saturations. Interventions included monitor for signs and symptoms of respiratory distress and report to the doctor; oxygen at 2 Liters via nasal cannula as needed for low oxygen saturations; check oxygen saturations as indicated or needed. Record review of Resident #2's electronic health record did not indicate a Significant Change in Status MDS Assessment was completed after Resident #2 progressively worsened with cough, congestion and shortness of breath which began [DATE]. Resident #2's Annual MDS Assessment, dated [DATE] and completed [DATE], did not reveal any oxygen therapy or treatments, or any suctioning therapy or treatments. There were no Significant Change in Status MDS Assessments in Resident #2's EHR for the entirety of their admission in the facility.In an interview on [DATE] at 9:36 am, MDS-C stated he made sure the MDS assessments were completed and filled out, then submitted. He also said there were 3 MDS nurses who worked on MDS assessments, but he was not the coordinator. MDS-C stated no one was tracking anything regarding the MDS assessments, then subsequently stated significant change MDS assessments were getting done in the facility because he was the one who did them. He stated a significant change was a change in the residents' diagnoses or care which was projected to last long term, longer than 14 days, and affected 2 or more care areas, such as residents being placed on hospice. MDS-C stated he found out about residents with changes in the morning meetings which were held twice per week, or when he ran the 24-hour report in the morning. He could not recall any residents in the facility in the past 3-6 months who he had performed a Significant Change MDS Assessment on.In an interview on [DATE] at 10:30 AM, the DON stated Resident #2 recently had a significant change in which he had to continuously be placed on Oxygen due to low Oxygen saturation levels. The DON stated a significant change was something which deviated from the baseline which required treatment or monitoring, such as a change in the residents' care, and the fact Resident #2 had not consistently used Oxygen previously, but it was currently being utilized continuously, would be considered a significant change. The DON stated if there was a change in condition, the floor nurses assessed the situation and put it in a progress note, but they did not do an actual assessment of the residents such as a focused assessment or SBAR assessment for a change in condition, but he saw how it would be needed, and the nurses should have been doing focused assessments, SBARs, or significant change assessments, which should trigger the MDS to do the Significant Change in Condition MDS assessments, but they were not being done. He stated the progress notes or changes got relayed back to MDS-C in the morning meetings or in their group communication text/chat. The DON stated MDS-C had not been doing significant change assessments, except when there was a big change, such as new hospice orders.In an interview on [DATE] at 1:30 PM the Administrator stated the MDS coordinator did MDS assessments in conjunction with the other MDS staff and the speech therapist. She stated since the facility was a non-profit, they did not get help from people such as regional nurses or regional MDS. She stated it was up to them to figure out what needed to be done. She stated staff had been trained in MDS assessments, so they should have known when and how to complete significant change assessments, but she was not sure if they had been doing it. In an interview on [DATE] at 2:15 pm, MDS-B (the MDS Coordinator) stated she used to be the DON for this facility, but she moved over to the MDS coordinator position. She stated she had been trained on how to complete MDS assessments and forms, and the MDS was the actual (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 455484 If continuation sheet Page 3 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 455484 B.

F 0637 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete comprehensive assessment to meet all the needs of the residents and establish a plan of care. MDS-B stated MDS-C was the one who did the actual MDS assessment, and she just signed off on them once they were completed. She stated she had not actually checked for accuracy or to make sure the proper assessments were completed. She stated it was just her job to sign off the MDS had been completed. MDS-B stated in-house acquired pressure ulcers could be considered significant changes if it affected two or more care areas or lasted longer than 14 days, as well as progressive cough and congestion and use of Oxygen could be considered a significant change if it affected 2 or more care areas or lasted longer than 14 days, but she was not sure who in the facility had actually had recent significant changes warranting assessments to be completed. Record review of the facility's Change in a Resident's Condition or Status policy, revised [DATE], revealed A significant change of condition is a decline or improvement in the resident's status which: a. will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing standard disease-related clinical interventions; b. Impacts more than one area of the resident's health status; c. required interdisciplinary review and/or revision to the care plan; d. ultimately is based on the judgment of the clinical staff and the guidelines outlined in the Resident Assessment Instrument and 42 CFR 483.20(b)(ii).Record review of the facility's Assessment Schedule for the RAI, revised [DATE], revealed Page 2-7, a significant change in status assessment is not required in a case where the resident's condition is expected to return to baseline within a short period of time, such as one to two weeks. If the condition does not return to baseline, the assessment should be completed as soon as needed to provide appropriate care to the residents, but in no case later than 14 days after the determination was made which a significant change occurred. The amount of time which would be appropriate for a facility to monitor a resident depends on the clinical situation and severity of symptoms experienced by the resident. Generally, if the condition has not resolved within approximately 2 weeks, staff would begin a comprehensive RAI assessment.

F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some facility had three MDS coordinators, and he was not one of them, but since he had worked there for 15 years, he received the brunt of it. He said MDS B worked on the diagnoses and care plans. He said no one was tracking anything. He said MDS B was the coordinator and she was responsible for PASRR. He said right now the facility was changing titles and cutting staff. For example, he would remain as MDS for LTC (long term care). He said MDS F would be doing therapy and MDS B was taking over the care plan's. He said he had not followed up with any PASRR since Covid. He said administration, DON's and everyone had been changing a lot over the last several years. He said he never had training on PASRR, none of them (MDS) did. He said he never suggested getting training because there's no money in it for him. Requested MDS F and B for interviews. In an interview with the DON on 12/11/25 at 10:15 am, he said the process for identifying residents with new qualifying diagnoses after admission was a form that was supposed to be filled out and sent to the state. He said MDS #C was responsible for making the referral to the appropriate state-designated authority when a resident was identified as having newly evident qualifying diagnoses for MD, ID, or related conditions. He said if there was a resident identified, he did not know why there was not a referral made or forms signed. He said the residents could decline because they were not getting services they otherwise could have benefitted from. Requested MDS F and B for interviews. In an interview with the ADM on 12/11/25 at 1:30 pm she said MDS B was the MDS coordinator. She said the facility was currently going through some training for MDS. She said MDS F was the coordinator for care plans and LTC (Long Term Care), and also managed therapy schedules. She said the admin team met and decided to change the MDS nurses' rolls but could not explain them. She said the Admissions coordinator was also assisting with the MDS nurses because it was collaborative. She said the speech therapist was doing the BIMS scores within their scope. She said the social worker, activities director, and the dietary manager were part of the collaboration. She said MDS B opened the MDS's and checked to make sure they were complete. She said MDS C checked for accuracy. She said the MDS staff had training on MDS, but could not say when or produce any documentation for the MDS training. She said there had not been any PASRR training for years. She said PASRR was resident's cognitive level. She did not know what the process was for PASRR or what a form 1012 was or when it needed to be used. She said none of her staff had been trained for PASRR. Requested MDS F and B for interviews. In an interview with MDS B on 12/11/25 at 2:15 pm she said she had started work at the facility in January 2025 but was DON for 8 years. She said she took the MDS course 3 times and took some association courses on her own. She said MDS was the actual comprehensive assessment to meet all the needs of the residents and establish a plan of care. She said MDS C was responsible for scheduling the quarterly MDS dates and all other MDS due dates, including changes. She said the administrative staff reviewed the 24-hour reports to determine significant changes. She said MDS C was the only person who did MDS. She said the ICP took care of the nutrition rooms. She said staff were trained by the DON, ADON, ICP, and the fire dept. She said MDS F did care plans and she (MDS B) assisted clinical management, was the CNA coordinator, care plans, and signed off the MDS's. She said she did not make sure the MDS's she signed were accurate. She said the Admissions nurse did the PASRR's. Requested MDS F and the Admissions nurse for interviews.

The facility failed to ensure the Nurse Medication Cart for the long hall in Wing 1 was locked and secured. This failure could place the residents at risk of gaining access to unlocked medications which were not prescribed to them.Findings included:Observation on 12/09/2025 at 9:42 AM revealed an unlocked med-cart parked down from the nurse's station in the long hall on Wing 1 with no nurses or other staff around it. The keys for the medication cart were hanging from the lock of the medication cart. There were residents noted to be walking and passing by. The med-cart lock was popped out, and all drawers were able to be opened and accessed. The med-cart was full of medications, including narcotics.In an interview on 12/09/2025 at 9:45 AM, LVN-D stated it was her med-cart, and she had forgotten to lock it and pull the keys out of it before she walked away. She stated the med-cart should always be locked when not in use because if left unlocked, anyone, including residents, could get into it and get medications out which did not belong to them, and this could cause harm. She stated the keys left in the med-cart contained the regular med-cart key, the narcotic box key, a key to the medication room, a key to the lock box in the medication room, as well as many other keys which she was not sure what they went to because she had never had to use them, but she thought they may have belonged to the other medication carts. LVN-D stated it was the responsibility of the nurse who was working the med-cart this shift to keep up with the keys for this med-cart and to ensure the med-cart remained locked when not in use. In an interview on 12/11/2025 at 10:30 AM, the DON stated he was not aware any of the nurses had left their medication cart unlocked. He stated it was the nurse of the med-carts responsibility to keep up with the keys for their med-cart, as well as be sure the med-cart was locked every time they stepped away from it. He stated if the med-carts were not kept locked, residents or anyone else could have gained access to the cart and taken medication which did not belong to them. He stated he was not sure exactly what keys were on LVN-D's key ring, but for sure there was the med-cart key, the narcotic box key, and the key to the medication room. He stated he was starting an in-service today with the nurses and medication aides regarding their med-cart keys and locking the med-carts. In an interview on 12/11/2025 at 1:30 PM, the Administrator stated it was the nurse's responsibility to keep her medication cart locked and keep up with the keys which went to her medication cart. She stated if medication carts were left unlocked, anyone could have gotten into the cart and taken medication, and it could have harmed them. She stated the nurses and medication aides knew this because it was discussed in their annual training, and they had been in-serviced regarding this as well. Record review of the facility's Storage of Medication Policy, revised April 2007, revealed 2. The nursing staff shall be responsible for maintaining medication storage and preparation area in a clean, safe, and sanitary manner. 7.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety for 1 of 1 kitchen reviewed and 1 of 1 nutrition rooms for storage, preparation, and sanitation. The facility failed to discard damaged pans and utensils. The facility failed to keep food products in the refrigerators and freezers sealed properly. The facility failed to follow a cleaning schedule. These failures could place residents at risk for food contamination and foodborne illness. Findings include: Initial tour and observation of the kitchen on 12/09/24, beginning at 8:15 am revealed 4 of 7 non-stick type coated frying pans were flaking. Three of the pans were completely bare, except for the sides. There were 2 large spatulas with chunks of plastic missing around the edges in the use bin. The underside of the shelf directly over the food on the steam table had chunks of removable red, brown, and black substances. There was a removable fuzzy black substance on and around the gaskets and on the doors of the 2-compartment bread refrigerator. There were tomatoes with fuzzy black spots on them, and they were leaking juices in the walk-in refrigerator. There were 7 large limp carrots with fuzzy black spots on them. The carrots were inside a large box touching more large carrots. There was an unsealed zip-type bag of cut cabbage that was open to air in the walk-in refrigerator. There was a large open plastic bag labeled sausage slices in the walk-in freezer. The sausage slices had ice on them. In an interview with DA G on 12/09/25 at 8:20 am, she said she did not know the pans were damaged, and she could not throw them out because the DM had to do that. She said the cooks and the DM were in charge of the refrigerators and freezers. In an interview with DA H on 12/09/25 at 8:40 am, she said she was unaware of the flaking non-stick coating on the pans. She said the bits of the coating could get into the food and make residents sick. In an interview with the [NAME] on 12/09/25 at 8:50 am, she said the non-stick coating from the pans were like that because they used metal utensils in them. She said they did not use the pans. She said the pans were hanging on the clean rack. She said the DM was the only one allowed to discard damaged utensils. She said the damaged spatulas were used in the puree machine. She said she guessed the broken-off pieces were in the food. She said the residents could ingest the particles of the spatulas, pans, and whatever was on the underside of the steam table shelf. She said whoever unloaded the truck deliveries was responsible for storing the items properly. She said she did not know who stacked the boxes to the ceiling in the walk-in freezer. She said the DA's and the cooks were responsible for properly storing leftover food in the refrigerators and freezers. She said she did not know who had left food open. She said that when kitchen staff came across bad food, such as the tomatoes and carrots, they threw them out as soon as they saw them. She said leaving the tomatoes and carrots in the state they were in could cause cross-contamination and make residents sick. She said the DM did not come in until 8 or 9 am. His presence was requested at this time. During a return visit to the kitchen and an interview with the DM on 12/10/25 at 2:00 pm, he said he did not come to work until 8 or 9 am in the morning. He said he was at the facility yesterday and knew the state was in the building. He shrugged his shoulders when asked why he did not speak with this state surveyor yesterday. He said he was responsible for everything in the kitchen. He said there was a cleaning schedule, but the kitchen had not been cleaned properly for over nine months. He said there had been staffing shortages, so he had to cut some things out. He said not cleaning the kitchen properly could compromise the cleanliness of the kitchen and make residents sick. He said there was mold around both of the bread refrigerator doors and gaskets. He said the damaged non-stick pans were not being used and did not know why they were hanging on the clean rack. He said he was in charge of discarding (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 455484 If continuation sheet Page 10 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 455484 B.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some damaged utensils, so he knew when to replace them. When asked at what point non-stick pans were considered damaged, he said when the coating started coming off. He said the coating was toxic, and the pieces probably got into the food and could make the residents sick, but he had not heard about anyone getting sick. He said the particles on the underside of the shelf above the steam table probably got into the food. He said all food in the refrigerators and freezers should be tightly sealed, labeled, and dated. He said the cooks and DA's were responsible for storing food. He said the rotten tomatoes and carrots should not be in the same box as the good ones because whatever was on the bad ones could cross-contaminate the good ones and make residents sick. He said the personal items on the carts in the kitchen should not be there because of cross-contamination. He said the kitchen staff had a place to store their personal items. He said the carts were not a designated area for staff belongings. He said kitchen staff were not responsible for the nutrition refrigerators, and he did not know who was. He said staff should know not to stack boxes in the walk-in refrigerators to the ceiling. He said it could impede the sprinklers if there was a fire. He said the ice accumulation on the condenser hose was always like that. He said that was why he did not report it to anyone. In an interview with the DON on 12/11/25 at 12:13 pm he said nurses were responsible for cleaning, labeling, and dating resident belongings in the designated resident refrigerator. He said labeling and dating food and beverages were required to prevent cross-contamination and potential illness from expired products. He said all staff were responsible for cleaning, labeling, and dating personal belongings in the designated employee refrigerator. He said he did not check the refrigerators because he assumed staff were. In an interview with MDS B on 12/11/25 at 2:15 pm she said the ICP took care of the nutrition rooms. In an interview with the ADM on 12/11/25 at 2:30 pm, she said she was unaware there was anything going on with the kitchen. She said she had been there before but was not sure what to look for.

F 0865 Have a plan that describes the process for conducting QAPI and QAA activities. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review the facility failed to develop a QAPI plan that described the process for conducting quality assessment and assurance activities, including the process on how the committee would identify and correct quality deficiencies for 3 of 16 residents. The facility did not have a QAPI plan process for conducting change in condition assessments. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving quality care and services. The findings include: In an interview on 12/11/25 at 10:08 AM, the ADM stated a significant change was a change in the resident's condition and was something that deviates from the resident's baseline that would require treatment or monitoring. The ADM stated if an injury or accident occurred; nurses would document a progress note but not complete an actual assessment. The ADM stated the floor nurses should be doing an assessment with any changes the resident has had, such as a focused assessment or an SBAR but was unsure if the nurses were completing any assessments. The ADM stated since significant changes were not being made, the facility was not able to track and trend resident changes, and it was not a part of QAPI. In an interview on 12/11/2025 at 10:30 AM, the DON stated if there was a change in condition with a resident, the floor nurses assessed the situation and put it in a progress note, but they did not do an actual assessment of the residents such as a focused assessment or SBAR assessment for a change in condition, but he saw how it would be needed. The DON stated the nurses should have been doing focused assessments, SBARs, or significant change assessments, which would trigger the MDS to do the Significant Change in Condition MDS assessments, but they were not being done. The DON stated significant changes in residents were not being tracked and trended. Record review of QAPI confirmed significant changes were not being tracked. In an interview on 12/11/2025 at 2:15 pm, MDS B (the MDS Coordinator) stated she used to be the DON for this facility, but she moved over to the MDS coordinator position. She stated she had been trained on how to complete MDS assessments and forms, and the MDS was the actual comprehensive assessment to meet all the needs of the residents and establish a plan of care. MDS B stated MDS C was the one who did the actual MDS assessment, and she just signed off on them once they were completed. She stated she had not actually checked for accuracy or to make sure the proper assessments were completed. She stated it was just her job to sign off the MDS had been completed. MDS B stated administration meets twice a week, Mondays and Wednesdays to discuss anything going on in the facility and with residents, but they were not tracking and trending significant changes or monitoring them. Record review of the facility's Quality Assurance Performance Improvement policy dated 02/12/25 reflected: Policy: It is the policy of this facility to develop, implement, and maintain an effective, comprehensive, data-driven QAPI program that focuses on indicators of the outcomes of care quality of life and addresses all the care and unique services the facility provides.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program, designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections, for one of six Residents (Resident #5) that were reviewed for infection control and transmission-based precautions policies and practices. 1) The facility failed to ensure LVN performed hand hygiene after removing gloves prior to and after setting up Resident #5's wound care supplies. 2) The facility failed to ensure LVN used a sterile, individually wrapped applicator to apply medication to Resident #5's wound. 3) The facility failed to maintain an infection and prevention control program that included, at a minimum, a system for preventing and controlling Legionella through a program that identifies areas in the water system where Legionella bacteria can grow and spread. These failures could place residents at risk of infection through cross contamination of pathogens and infectious diseases. Findings include: Record review of Resident #5's face sheet dated 12/11/25 reflected an [AGE] year-old-female with an original admission date of 08/01/25. Diagnoses included hypertension (high blood pressure), type 2 diabetes (insufficient insulin production in the body), end stage kidney disease (kidneys can no longer maintain the body's balance of fluids, electrolytes, and waste products), and cerebral infarction (blood flow to part of the brain is obstructed, leading to the death in brain cells). Record review of Resident #5's physician orders dated 11/11/25 reflected: Stage IV Pressure Ulcer (full thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed or directly palpable fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage, or bone): Cleanse with Vashe (wound cleanser), pat dry with 4x4 gauze, apply collagen powder (promotes new tissue growth), apply Silvadene (topical antibiotic cream), cover with dry 4x4 gauze, cover with ABD pad, and secure with tape, every day and night shift. Record review of Resident #5's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] a BIMS of 00 (severe cognitive impairment). During an observation on 12/10/25 at 1:16 PM, LVN A sanitized the wound care tray, removed gloves and put on new gloves without sanitizing or washing hands. During an observation on 12/10/25 at 1:19 PM, LVN A removed a wooden applicator from a shared cup containing multiple applicators located on the medication cart and placed it on the tray. The applicators were stored together in an open container, were not individually wrapped, and were not sterile. During an observation on 12/10/25 at 1:25 PM, LVN A removed gloves after prepping Resident #5's wound care supplies and put on new gloves without sanitizing or washing hands. In an interview on 12/10/25 at 1:47PM, LVN A stated it was important to wash or sanitize hands after every glove removal to prevent cross-contamination. LVN A stated Resident #5's wound could get infected and get worse if introduced to bacteria. LVN A stated he was nervous and forgot some of the steps. LVN A stated that the orders did not state what to use when applying the medication and just thought he could use one of the wooden applicators located on the medication cart. LVN A stated he probably should have used an individual sealed applicator since it would be sterile. LVN A stated since he used a non-sterile wooden applicator, Resident #5's wound could possibly not heal or become infected. In an interview on 12/11/25 at 2:03 PM, the IP stated hand sanitizer could be used after glove removal and hand washing should take place when hands are visibly soiled. The IP stated it was important to ensure hands were cleaned before staff moved on to the next resident to prevent cross contamination. The IP stated by using a non-sterile applicator, Resident #5's wound could obtain an organism and could become septic since the resident's immune system was low.
