This survey cited 3 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were treated with respect, dignity, and care in a manner and in an environment that promotes maintenance or enhancement of his or her quality of life for 1 of 8 residents (Resident #5) reviewed for resident rights. The facility failed to treat Resident #5 with dignity when staff failed to assist the resident with colostomy care, resulting in it leaking and causing her to feel embarrassed in front of her roommate. This failure could cause the resident embarrassment and a decreased sense of self-worth. Findings included: Record review of Resident #5's undated admission Record reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included stroke affecting the rights side of her body, legal blindness, and rectal cancer requiring the creation of a colostomy (opening in the intestine to drain feces into a bag). Record review of Resident #5's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 10 indicating she was moderately cognitively impaired. Her Functional Status reflected she required set-up and clean up assistance with her toileting hygiene. Her Bowel and Bladder assessment indicated she had an ostomy. Record review of Resident #5's care plan, dated 12/22/24, reflected she had a visual impairment related to being legally blind, and ADL self-care deficit related to paralysis, and had an ostomy. Interview on 02/11/25 at 9:50 AM with Resident #5 revealed she often had to change her briefs because the staff took too long to respond to her call light. Resident #5 stated she thought staff knew if they waited, she would do it herself. She stated she did need staff assistance to make sure she was completely clean, and she needed assistance with applying her colostomy bag to make sure it was on properly to prevent it from leaking. Resident #5 stated in the evening on 02/07/25 her colostomy bag was leaking, and she had tried to clean up with her wipes. She stated CNA B answered her call light and told her he would have to get the nurse to help her. She stated LVN A came to her room and told her she could not help because she was the only nurse monitoring the evening meal in the dining area. She stated LVN A put a new colostomy bag on the resident's overbed table and left. Resident #5 stated she waited for about 20 minutes and no one came to help her, so she applied the bag herself and cleaned herself up. She stated she must not have applied it correctly because later that evening (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 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few the bag began to leak again. Resident #5 stated her colostomy was very smelly when being changed. She stated she was embarrassed by it leaking because she had a roommate, and the door to the hall was open. Resident #5 stated she usually changed it every other day when she was taking her shower to limit the smell affecting others. She stated a nurse from the night shift helped her secure the bag properly. Interview on 02/11/25 at 3:00 PM with CNA B revealed he responded to Resident #5's call light on 02/07/25. He stated the resident's colostomy bag was leaking and needed to be changed. He stated he told Resident #5 he would have to get the nurse as that was beyond his scope of practice. He notified LVN A, who was monitoring residents in the dining area, and she went to check on the resident. Interview on 02/11/25 at 3:25 PM with LVN A revealed she was called to Resident #5's room by CNA B from the dining area where she was monitoring the evening meal. LVN A stated Resident #5 told her she needed a new colostomy bag, so she put one on the resident's table. LVN A told her she could not help because she had to get back to the dining area. LVN A stated there was a second nurse on the hall, who was supposed to care for the residents, while she was in the dining area. LVN A stated she did not notify the other nurse that Resident #5 needed help. LVN A stated she did not follow-up with Resident #5 when she returned from the dining area. Interview on 02/11/25 at 3:28 PM with LVN C reveale she had not been made aware of Resident #5 needing assistance with her colostomy. She stated LVN A never had a conversation with her on 02/07/25, and the interview with the surveyor was the first she time she had been made aware of the situation. Interview on 02/12/25 at 10:35 AM with the DON revealed his expectation of the nurses would be if they could not assist a resident right away, they should have a conversation with their teammate and ask them to assist the resident. The DON stated that was why they had two nurses on the hall. He stated all residents deserved to be treated with respect and dignity. He stated LVN A did not treat Resident #5 with respect and dignity.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some with different people when they would talk to her boyfriend who sat at her table and Resident #1 always started the fights. Resident #3 said he was not afraid of Resident #1 but the residents were annoyed with her behaviors. Interview on 02/11/25 at 12:08 PM with Housekeeper D revealed during the incident with Resident #2 she was across the hall and heard yelling but could not make out what was being said. As she turned she saw Resident #1 hitting Resident #2 on the head with her baby doll. This incident occurred outside of the rooms, as they used to be neighbors. Housekeeper D said she separated the residents and went to report the incident to the Administrator. The Housekeeper said had heard Resident #1 yell at other residents but that was the first time she had seen her become physical with them. Interview on 02/11/25 at 12:13 PM with LVN D revealed she was told by CNA F that Resident #1 was in the dining room, on 11/16/24, and she believed Resident #1 might have been trying to hit someone with her baby doll when CNA F tried to intervene. CNA F told her Resident #1 then grabbed CNA F's hair and began to hit her in the face with her other hand. LVN D further stated Resident #1 had a history of becoming verbal with others especially when other residents tried to talk to her male friend that sat with her at the dining room table. Interview on 02/11/25 at 12:29 PM with CNA F revealed she approached Resident #1 and told her to go to her room so she could change her. Resident #1's male friend told Resident #1 she needed to go with CNA F and CNA F touched her male friend on his shoulder and Resident #1 jumped up out of her chair and grabbed CNA F by the hair and began to punch her. CNA F said that had been the first time Resident #1 had hit her and it all happened because Resident #1 would become defensive if anyone was around her male friend. CNA F further stated Resident #1 had a history of hitting others with her baby dolls and cursing at staff and residents all day long. CNA F said it was difficult to prevent Resident #1 from hitting and yelling at others because she would not stay in her room and stayed in the dining room all day long. If and when they tried to redirect Resident #1 she would begin to yell and curse. CNA F also said Resident #2 now preferred to stay in his room to avoid Resident #1 and others resident would also get frustrated and leave the dining room so they did not have to hear Resident #1 yell out. Interview on 02/11/25 at 12:39 PM with the Weekend Supervisor revealed during the incident between Resident #1 and Resident #4, she was in the wound care office next to the dining room when she heard Resident #1 screaming.

When the Weekend Supervisor entered the dining room Resident #4 had Resident #1 by her hair and they were immediately separated and Resident #1 was put on 1:1 safety checks. The Weekend Supervisor said she had not worked at the facility long but had been told Resident #1 had a history of hitting but she had never witnessed it prior to that incident. Resident #1 would sit in the dining room all day and yell and scream random things at others and they would try to redirect the resident to her room but she always refused to go. The Weekend Supervisor further stated everyone just had to work around Resident #1.

F 0691 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate colostomy, urostomy, or ileostomy care/services for a resident who requires such services. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents who require colostomy, urostomy, or ileostomy services, receive such care consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the resident's goals and preferences for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #5) reviewed for ostomy care. The facility failed to assist Resident #5 with colostomy care resulting in her colostomy leaking. This failure could place the resident at risk of skin irritation and breakdown from exposure to fecal matter. Findings included: Record review of Resident #5's undated admission Record reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included stroke affecting the rights side of her body, legal blindness, and rectal cancer requiring the creation of a colostomy (opeing in the intestines to allow feces to drain into a bag). Record review of Resident #5's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 10 indicating she was moderately cognitively impaired. Her Functional Status reflected she required set-up and clean up assistance with her toileting hygiene. Her Bowel and Bladder assessment indicated she had an ostomy. Record review of Resident #5's care plan, dated 12/22/24, reflected she had a visual impairment related to being legally blind, and ADL self-care deficit related to paralysis, and had an ostomy. Interview on 02/11/25 at 9:50 AM with Resident #5 revealed she often had to change her briefs because the staff took too long to respond to her call light. Resident #5 stated she thought staff knew if they waited, she would do it herself. She stated she did need staff assistance to make sure she was completely clean, and she needed assistance with applying her colostomy bag to make sure it was on properly to prevent it leaking. Resident #5 stated in the evening on 02/07/25 her colostomy bag was leaking, and she was trying to clean up with her wipes. She stated CNA B answered her call light and told her he would have to get the nurse to help her. She stated LVN A came to the resident's room and told her she could not help the resident because she was the only nurse monitoring the evening meal in the dining area. She stated LVN A put a new colostomy bag on the resident's overbed table and left. Resident #5 stated she waited for about 20 minutes, and no one came to help her, so she applied the bag herself and cleaned herself up. She stated she must not have applied it correctly because later that evening the bag began to leak again. She stated a nurse from the night shift helped her secure the bag properly. Interview on 02/11/25 at 3:25 PM with LVN A revealed she was called to Resident #5's room by CNA B from the dining area where she was monitoring the evening meal. LVN A stated Resident #5 told her she needed a new colostomy bag, so she put one on the resident's table. LVN A told her she could not help because she had to get back to the dining area. LVN A stated there was a second nurse on the hall, who was supposed to care for the residents, while she was in the dining area. LVN A stated she did not notify the other nurse that Resident #5 needed help.

F 0691 Resident #5 when she returned from the dining area. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Interview on 02/11/25 at 3:28 PM with LVN C revealed she had not been made aware of Resident #5 needing assistance with her colostomy. She stated LVN A never had a conversation with her on 02/07/25, and the interview with the surveyor was the first she time she had been made aware of the situation. Residents Affected - Few Interview on 02/12/25 at 10:35 AM with the DON revealed his expectation of the nurses would be if they could not assist a resident right away, they should have a conversation with their teammate and ask them to assist the resident. He stated that was why they had two nurses on the hall. The DON stated skin exposure to fecal matter could quickly lead to skin irritation and skin breakdown. Record review of the facility's Ostomy Care policy, dated 2003, reflected: .Goals 1. The resident will maintain continuous or intermittent drainage via bowel diversion without complications. 2. The resident will complete/receive correct and proper care of stoma, skin, and collection procedures. 3. The resident will be maintaining optimal skin integrity at stoma site. .18.
