receive services in the facility with reasonable accommodation of resident needs and preferences except
when to do so would endanger the health or safety of the resident or other residents for 1 (Resident #23) of
24 residents reviewed for accommodation of needs. The facility failed to have Resident #23's soft touch call
pad within reach for 2-days. The soft touch pad was located on Resident #23's nightstand out of reach. This
failure could place residents at risk of not being able to communicate their need for assistance and result in
unmet needs. The findings included: Record review of Resident #23's electronic face sheet, dated
09/09/2025, reflected a [AGE] year-old male who admitted on [DATE]. His diagnoses included: spastic
diplegic cerebral palsy (form of cerebral palsy (a lifelong group of neurological disorders resulting from
brain damage or abnormal brain development that affects a person's ability to control movement, balance,
and posture) that affects the legs most severely, causing stiff muscles and scissoring gait, though it can
affect the arms), convulsions (a sudden, violent, irregular movement of a limb or of the body, caused by
involuntary contraction of muscles and associated especially with brain disorders), depression (mood
disorder characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest in activities), autistic disorder (a
condition related to brain development that affects how people see other and socialize with them, anxiety (a
natural emotional response involving feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness, often triggered by stress), and
insomnia (a common sleep disorder characterized by ongoing trouble falling asleep).Record review of
Resident #23's quarterly MDS assessment, with an ARD of 08/22/2025, reflected he sometimes
understands and would be sometimes understood. He was not a candidate for a BIMS which indicated his
cognition was severely impaired. Behaviors were noted as C. Other behavioral symptoms not directed
toward others (such as hitting or scratching self or making disruptive sounds), he received enteral feedings
and was dependent on care for his ADLs. He was incontinent of bowel and bladder. Record review of
Resident #23's comprehensive care plan, dated 06/20/2025, reflected, Focus: has potential for
complications r/t cerebral palsy, cognitive impairments, communication deficits. Interventions: assess for
adaptive equipment needs to assist with ADLs, assist with ADLs as needed. Focus: at risk for falls/injury r/t
cognitive deficits, debility/generalized weakness, poor safety awareness. Interventions: call light within
reach, encourage to call for assistance. Observation on 09/09/2025 at 10:30 a.m., of Resident #23 revealed
he was lying on a low bed in his room, and his soft touch call pad was located on his night stand out of
reach. Observation on 09/10/2025 at 07:00 a.m., of Resident #23 with LVN A revealed he was sitting up in

Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to post in a place readily accessible to residents, and
family members and legal representatives of residents, the results of the most recent survey of the facility
and failed to post notice of the availability of such reports in areas of the facility that are prominent and
accessible to the public for 4 of 4 days (9/9/25-9/12/25) for 1 of 1 facility, observed for postings. The survey
results were behind the receptionist's desk on a shelf and the sign for the survey results was not viewable
from 9/9/25-9/12/25 during the survey period. This failure could place residents, family, and visitors at risk of
not knowing the results of the facility survey history.The findings were: In a resident group meeting on
9/11/25 at 10:30 a.m., the residents unanimously stated they were not aware they could read the facility's
survey results and stated they had no idea where to find them. The residents stated they were interested in
the results and would like to read them. During observations on 9/9/25 at 8:48 a.m., 9/10/25 at 9:34 a.m.,
and 9/11/25 at 11:00 a.m., revealed the facility survey results and signage indicating the location of the
survey results were not located at the entrance or in the small lobby area. During an observation on 9/9/25
at 8:50 a.m., two binders labeled survey results, one black and one white, approximately 6-8 inches wide,
were observed approximately 7 feet behind the receptionist desk on a built-in bookshelf about 3 feet high.
The survey results were not immediately noticeable unless specifically looking for them. No signage
indicating the location of the survey results was observed. In an observation and interview on 9/12/25 at
3:10 p.m. while standing in front of the Administrator's office behind the reception desk and in front of the
bookshelf, the survey results binders were still on the shelf behind the receptionist desk and there was a
sign next to the survey results binders that read survey results. The sign could not be viewed unless
standing directly in front of the survey results behind the receptionist desk. The Administrator stated the
residents and families knew the area behind the reception desk leading to the Administrator's office was an
open area they could walk through. The Administrator immediately moved the survey binders and the sign
to the first shelf at the beginning of the wall in view of anyone entering the front door. The Administrator
stated the possible consequences of the survey results not being in the open and accessible could possibly
be people would not have knowledge of the facility survey history. In an interview on 9/12/25 at 3:10 p.m.
the facility survey results policy was requested from the Administrator and not received prior to exit.

the main meal being served and they were stuck with the alternate meal or a sandwich. The residents could
not elaborate on exactly when this happened and stated, all the time. The residents stated the alternate
was usually chicken tenders. The residents stated they were frustrated and had complained to many people
about it but could not state who they had complained to.
During an observation on 9/11/25 at 12:00 p.m. residents were seated in the dining room waiting for lunch
service. The kitchen was observed through the open-door preparing meals of sloppy joes with French fries

During an observation and interview on 9/11/25 at 1:00 p.m. the AD took the posted menu on the wall and
put a line through herb seasoned red potatoes and wrote in French fries. The AD stated the menu had not
been corrected and she was letting all the residents know.
During an observation and interview on 9/11/25 at 1:05 p.m. the DM pulled a substitution list from behind
the main menu on the wall and observed where French fries were documented as substituted for herb
seasoned red potatoes. The DM stated the residents preferred French fries with sloppy joes and he just
forgot to update the daily menu posting.
During an interview on 9/11/25 at 1:20 p.m. LVN DD stated the facility did not run out of the main
entrée meal very often. LVN DD was unable to state how often it had happened previously.

should have used at least another 5 lbs. of ground meat. The DM stated they did not normally run out of
foods. The DM stated he did not usually make the red potatoes with the sloppy joes that the menu calls for
because he felt French fries go better with the sloppy joes. The DM stated he forgot to update the menu
that was posted in the dining room with the meal change. The DM stated meat is pulled the day before, and
the cooks were responsible for pulling their meat the night before for the next day.
