This survey cited 6 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0583 Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents had a right to personal privacy and confidentiality of their personal and/or medical records for 7 of 10 residents reviewed for residents' rights. The facility failed to ensure LVN-D locked and/or closed the medication cart computer screen and left multiple residents' information exposed. The facility also failed to ensure LVN-D turned over or put away paperwork or report sheets with multiple residents' information on it. This failure could place residents at risk of resident-identifiable information being accessed by unauthorized persons. The findings include: In an observation on 08/06/25 at 8:10 AM revealed LVN-D's medication cart laptop screen was left opened with multiple residents' information exposed. While examining the laptop and information on the screen, LVN-D walked out of a resident's room, reached past this surveyor and closed the screen. In an observation on 08/06/25 at 9:31 AM revealed a report sheet with multiple residents' information left face up on LVN-D's medication cart. While examining the paperwork and getting a photo of it, LVN-D walked out of a resident's room and grabbed the paper. In an interview on 08/06/25 at 9:32 AM, LVN-D stated she should have locked and closed her laptop screen as well as placed the paper facedown or away because they had residents' information on them, and anyone could have walked by and seen it. She stated she knew it was considered a HIPAA violation to leave resident information exposed. She stated she was really busy and had forgotten to lock the screen or turn the paper over when she walked away. In an interview on 08/06/25 at 9:33 AM, the DON stated it was considered a HIPAA violation to leave residents' information exposed where anyone could have seen it or stolen it. She stated she had just in-serviced LVN-D over this topic this morning. In an interview on 08/06/25 at 9:35 AM, the ADON stated leaving residents' information out in the open for anyone to read or take was considered a HIPAA violation, and the nurses knew they were not supposed to do this to keep the information private and accessible to only those authorized to access it.

Consistent with the resident rights, that included measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs that were identified in comprehensive assessment for 1 (Resident #70) of 6 residents reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to ensure Resident #70's care plan was implemented by not having the resident's call light within reach on 08/04/25 at 2:10 PM. This failure could place residents at an increased risk of needs going unmet or harm.The findings included:Record review of Resident #70's face sheet dated 08/04/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old male with an admission date of 02/10/21. Resident #70's Pertinent diagnoses included hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting the right dominant side (complete paralysis to right side of body), aphasia (unable to speak), and dementia (decline in mental ability that interferes with daily life). Record review of Resident #70's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score could not be obtained because the resident was rarely or never understood. Record review of Resident #70's comprehensive care plan revealed the focus [Resident #70] is at risk for falls r/t right-sided hemiplegia and hemiparesis, impaired condition initiated on 02/10/21 and revised on 07/15/25. An Intervention for this focus included Call light within reach initiated on 02/10/21. During an observation on 08/04/25 at 2:10 PM, Resident #70's call light cord and button were coiled up on the floor approximately 3 feet away from the head of the bed on Resident #70's right side. In an interview with Resident #70 on 08/04/25 at 2:10 PM, Resident #70 was unable to answer questions due to his inability to speak. Resident #70 was able to nod his head up and down or side to side to indicate yes or no answers. Resident #70 was asked if he knew how long his call light had been on the floor out of reach and he shrugged his shoulders. Resident #70 was asked if his call light was on the floor out of reach very often and he shook his head side to side. Resident #70 was asked if he was able to communicate with nursing staff in the halls with any means other than the call light and he shook his head side to side. In an interview with CNA B on 08/04/25 at 2:15 PM, CNA B stated residents' call lights were supposed to be clipped to the side of the bed within reach of the resident. CNA B stated he did not know how Resident #70's call light fell on the floor out of reach. CNA B stated it was important for residents to be able to access their call lights so they could notify the nursing staff if they had any problems. In an interview with LVN A on 08/04/25 at 2:20 PM, LVN A stated residents' call lights were supposed to be clipped to the side of the bed within reach of the resident. LVN A stated he was in Resident #70's room sometime after lunch and thought the call light was on Resident #70's bed. LVN A stated it was important for any resident to be able to access their call light so they could contact the nursing staff if they had any problems. LVN A stated it was especially important for Resident #70 to have his call light because he was unable to speak or yell to get attention. LVN A stated if a resident could not access their call light, they could accidentally injure themselves and not be able to get the nurses attention for help. In an interview with the DON on 08/06/25 at 2:50 PM, the DON stated it was important for all residents to have access to their call lights so all their needs could be met by the nursing staff. The DON stated if residents could not reach their call light, then they could have trouble informing the CNA's and nurses on the floor of any problems they had. The DON stated this issue could lead to a resident experiencing harm and then receiving a delayed response by the staff.

The trays had no drainage mats under the glasses. There were approximately a hundred plastic plate covers on clean racks that had a removable whitish substance on the tops where the hand holds were, the sides, and around the inner edge where the plastic cover rested on the plates. There were 2 non-stick type pans with flaking coating in the bottoms and sides and were hanging on the clean rack. One of them was badly dented. There were 2 large cooking pots that were badly pitted around the bottoms of the insides. The pits were dark brown/black. There was a dirty metal spatula, a dented and bent metal pastry scraper, and a plastic spatula with chips around the edges in a clean bin. There were multiple trays of glasses with different beverages in them and several pitchers filled with brown liquid in the refrigerator. The trays and pitchers were unlabeled and undated in the refrigerator. There were 6, 4-ounce containers of apple juice in a pan dated 06/01-06/07 in the refrigerator.

She said the glasses should have drying mats under them to drain properly. She said the plastic plate covers were in use. She said if the residents touched the cover to remove it from the plate, it could cause cross contamination as well as the edges of the plates where the cover rested on them. She said the non-stick type pans on the dry rack were only used for making grilled cheese sandwiches. She said kitchen staff used metal utensils in the non-stick type pans and had not been trained on using non-metal utensils in non-stick type pans. She said the flaking coating in the pans could get into the food and possibly make the residents sick. She said she guessed the large cooking pots were pitted inside. She said she did not know why there were brown/black substances in the pits. She said, If it was food in the pits, I guess it could get in the food. She said cross contamination could occur and make residents sick. She said the metal spatula was in a clean bin and did not look clean.
