F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to immediately consult with the resident's physician; and notify, consistent with his or her authority, the resident representative(s) when there was a significant change in the resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status (that is, a deterioration in health, mental, or psychosocial status in either life-threatening conditions or clinical complications) for 1 (CR #1) of 6 residents reviewed for resident rights. - Nurse A did not immediately notify CR #1's physician when he had a change in condition and was sent out to the hospital via 911 on 09/14/25. -Nurse A did not notify CR #1's family member/RP/emergency contact when he had a change in condition and was transported to the hospital on [DATE]. The failures could place residents at risk of not receiving appropriate care and required notifications being made when there is a change in their condition. Findings included: Record review of CR #1's admission Record, dated 09/16/25, revealed a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included type 2 diabetes mellitus (high levels of blood sugar in the blood) with chronic kidney disease, degenerative disease of nervous system (conditions that affect the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord), other chronic pancreatitis (long-standing inflammation of the pancreas), depression, and muscle weakness. Further review revealed resident was listed as RP, family member was listed as RP/emergency contact #1, and another family member was listed as POA-Care/emergency contact #2 (no phone number listed). Record review of CR #1's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 08/28/25, revealed a BIMS score of 13, indicating intact cognition. Record review of CR #1's progress notes, dated 09/14/25 at 20:50 (8:50 p.m.), entered by Nurse A, revealed in part CNA called 911 resident complaining of vomiting and chest pain.Blood pressure 143/84, pulse 81, respiration 18, temp 102.2 [degrees Fahrenheit], and O2 sat 99.

During a telephone interview on 09/16/25 at 7:27 a.m., CNA A said she did not know what time she told Nurse A to check on CR #1 on 09/14/25 but when she told her, she said okay she was going to get to him, but she never checked on him. She said CR #1 was normally grumpy and aggressive but on this day, 09/14/25, he was doubled over, his skin color was grayish, he looked tired and just did not look like himself at all. She said she also heard CNA B, and Residents #2 and #3 tell Nurse A about CR #1 (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few not feeling well while she was helping other residents in the hallway. She said she heard Resident #2 tell Nurse A that CR #1 was asking for her to come to his room because he was not feeling well, but she said she told Resident #2 not to worry about it and that she would take care of it. She said she went back to his room, and CR #1 was on his bed, sitting up but slouched all the way over and throwing up. She said she took his temperature with her personal thermometer, and he had a fever of 103 F. She said CR #1 was saying his chest hurt, and to please call the ambulance. She said he told her his pain level was a 10 out of 10. She said over an hour had passed and she never saw Nurse A go into his room to check on him. She said she called 911 from her cell phone at 8:46 p.m. and yelled out for Nurse A. She said Nurse A went to CR #1's room and asked him how he was feeling. She said the resident could barely talk, and that he just kept saying to call the ambulance. She said she left CR #1's room and went to the hallway to give 911 the address to the facility, and they arrived maybe within 5 minutes. She said Nurse A denied being told that something was wrong with CR #1. During an observation and interview on 09/17/25 at 10:09 a.m., revealed CR #1 was at the hospital lying in bed, watching television. He said he did not remember what time he started feeling bad on Sunday, 09/14/25. He said he was in a lot of pain from his waist down, he was vomiting, his chest was also hurting, and his pain level was at a 10. He said he told the nurse aide he was feeling bad but said he did not remember when he told her. He said he did not get a chance to ask the nurse for anything because she never came and checked on him. He said he pressed his call light, waited for about an hour, but the nurse did not go to his room until about 2-3 minutes before the ambulance got to the facility. He said the nurse aide said she was going to call the ambulance. He said he heard the nurse at the facility tell the ambulance driver he had a fever but did not remember the nurse's name. He said the hospital had yet to tell him what was wrong with him but said they told him they were going to admit him. He said the doctor told him he was not going to be discharged today, 9/17/25. He said the facility did not call his family member/RP/emergency contact #1 and she did not know he was in the hospital. During a telephone interview on 09/17/25 at 11:41 a.m., Nurse A said she called the NP/physician listed on the CR #1's Face Sheet after EMTs took the resident. She said she did not speak to them and probably left them a message. She said she did not contact the resident's RP/emergency contact and that she had no reason for not making the contact. During a telephone interview on 09/17/25 at 1:23 p.m., the NP said he was notified via text (does not know by who) on Monday, 09/15/25, that on Sunday, 09/14/25, CR #1 had nausea, was throwing up, complaining about chest pain, and that the nurse aide had called 911. He said had he been notified when symptoms had been occurring, he could have done some kind of intervention. He said each case was different and he still did not know all the details about what happened on Sunday with the resident. He said he did not know if the on-call service was notified on Sunday. During an interview on 09/18/25 at 9:48 a.m., the DON said the family and physician should be notified immediately once the resident was stable and safe. He said Nurse A did not document that she contacted CR #1's RP/emergency contact #1 in her progress note. He said he gave both emergency contacts a courtesy call on Monday, 09/15/25, to see if they had any concerns or if they needed him to do anything but both of their phones had a message saying they were not taking calls at that time. He said not contacting a resident's RP/emergency contact would not have an ill effect on the resident. During a follow-up telephone interview on 09/18/25 at 11:35 a.m., the NP said he checked with the on-call service and with the physician and the physician said he was not notified and there was no record that the on-call service was called. During a telephone interview on 09/18/25 at 4:03 p.m., with CR #1's family member/RP/emergency contact #1 she said the facility did not call her to tell her CR #1 was sent to the hospital.

The IJ Template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 2:05 p.m. While the IJ was removed on 10/09/25, 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 due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their Plan of Removal (POR). This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving necessary medical care, a decline in health, and/or experiencing emotional and physical distress. The findings included: Record review of CR #1's admission Record, dated 09/16/25, revealed a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE].

He said the CNA should have let the nurse know the resident was not feeling well so the nurse could have assessed and taken proper clinical action. He said he spoke to Nurse A and she said CNA A never told her that CR #1 was not feeling well. During an interview on 09/16/25 at 1:09 p.m., Resident #2, said on 09/14/25 she heard and saw CNA A tell Nurse A that she needed to go and check on CR #1 between 7:00/8:00 p.m. She said Nurse A was at the nurse's station on the computer and told CNA A she would check on CR #1 in a minute.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few to. She said she stopped passing medications, locked the cart, and went around the corner to the nurse's station on hall 200. She said she looked to her right, out the window, and saw flashing lights coming from the ambulance. She said CNA A said she called 911 because CR #1 was projectile vomiting. She said she went to CR #1's room and asked him what was going on and he said he was vomiting. She said she told him she needed to take his vital signs. She said she started taking his vitals and told him she could call the doctor to get some medication for nausea. She said CR #1 said it was not going to help because he was going to throw it back up. She said by the time she finished taking his vital signs, EMTs were coming in the room. She said she then left the room. She said another set of EMTs came in with police officers and they went to CR #1's room, and she stayed at the nurse's station. She said less than 5 minutes after EMTs arrived, they took the resident. She said CNA A did not tell her that CR #1 was not feeling well, and/or she needed to check on him. She said there was one little puddle of vomit on the floor, and said he was not projectile vomiting, but said she did not actually see him vomit. She said he had a fever of 102 F but everything else was okay. She said no residents reported to her that CR #1 was feeling unwell. During an interview on 09/17/25 at 1:04 p.m., Nurse B said she worked the 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. shift on 09/14/25 and was assigned to CR #1. She said she left her shift around 6:30 p.m. She said when she was grabbing her bag to leave, CNA A came around the corner toward the 200-hall nurse's station and said out loud (she said CNA A did not say anyone's name) when you have a moment can you check on CR #1?. She said Nurse A acknowledged the fact that CNA A said to check on CR #1 by saying ok out loud. She said CNA A did not give any details. She said she saw CR #1 throughout the day on 09/14/25 for blood sugar checks, but he was fine throughout her shift. She said no one ever asked her to check on him and the resident never voiced any concerns to her. During an interview on 09/18/25 at 8:52 a.m., the Administrator said he tried contacting CNA A to find out what happened and why she decided to call 911 instead of letting the nurse initiate the call. He said CNA A texted him that Nurse A was mad at her because she called 911 and that she told Nurse A CR #1 was projectile, and Nurse A did nothing. He said he asked CNA A what she meant by projectile, but she did not respond. He said he checked the resident's room on Monday morning, 09/15/25, around 10:00 a.m. and did not see any signs of projectile vomiting and he checked the resident's clothes, which were still in his room because the resident sent his laundry out to be washed, and he did not see any signs or vomit on his clothes. He said he talked to Nurse B, and she said she did not see anything abnormal during her shift. He said Nurse B, said she went and checked CR #1's blood sugar around 5:30 p.m. and tried to flush his catheter but he refused. He said he talked to the night nurse, Nurse A, and she said she received a report from Nurse B, and there was no change in condition for CR #1. He said Nurse B said she was told the resident was in and out of the facility as usual. During a follow-up interview on 09/30/25 at 2:43 p.m., the DON said when a resident was complaining of pain, they assessed the resident by asking them how much pain they were in on a scale of 1 to 10. He said if the resident was non-verbal, they looked for facial grimacing or assessed through touch. He said pain was a priority, but he said he could not assign an amount of minutes to when it should be addressed by the nurse but said they should respond as soon as possible. During a follow-up interview on 09/30/25 at 4:30 p.m., the NP said he would have directed the staff to give the resident Mylanta because it could have been due to GERD, and they could have done nitroglycerin (nitrate medicine that relaxes blood vessels and prevents or treats chest pain), and a baby aspirin. He said 9 times out of 10 symptoms would be relieved. He said it was hard to tell what negative effects could result from waiting for 1-1 1/2 hours. He said the resident had prostate issues, got UTIs, and those could cause a lot of symptoms.

She said later (she could not provide a time) after she told Nurse A that CR #1 was not feeling well, she heard CNA B tell Nurse A Mr. [CR #1's last name] is asking for you. He is not feeling very well. During an interview on 09/30/25 at 5:00 p.m., CNA B said she was not assigned to CR #1's hall on 09/14/25 but saw his light on around 8:00/8:30 p.m. She said she went inside his room, and he asked her to get the nurse and that maybe she needed to call the ambulance, but he did not say why, and she said she did not ask why. She said she told CR #1 okay and she went to Nurse A and told her CR #1 had his light on and he needed her to call the ambulance. She said Nurse A said okay. She said she went back to her assigned hall and about 10 minutes later, she saw EMS coming out of his room.
