Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the right to formulate an advance directive was provided for 1 of 4 residents reviewed for resident rights. (Resident #51) The facility failed to ensure Resident #51, who was listed as DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), had a valid Out-of-Hospital Do Not Resuscitate (OOH-DNR) form that was not missing required information or the witness signature and date. This failure could place residents at risk of lifesaving procedures being performed against their wishes resulting in bruising, broken ribs, electrical shocking of the heart, having a tube placed in the throat and provided artificial breathing methods, and possibly being brought back to life in an unaware and unresponsive state. Findings included:Record review of Resident #51's admission record, dated [DATE], indicated a [AGE] year-old female initially admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included dementia (loss of cognitive functioning), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), dysphasia (impairment in the production of speech resulting from brain disease or damage), osteoarthritis (protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones wears down over time), and muscle weakness. Advance directive indicated DNR (Do Not Resuscitate). Record review of Resident #51's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #51 had minimal difficulty hearing, she had unclear speech, she was rarely/never able to make herself understood, she sometimes understood others, and she had severely impaired cognition and was unable to be interviewed. Record review of Resident #51's care plan indicated Resident #51 and her family requested she have a DNR status and long-term goal-initiated date of [DATE] and revision date of [DATE]. Interventions included if resident was found unresponsive with no palpable pulse or no respirations, do not initiate CPR, facility RN to pronounce and advanced directives would be reviewed by care plan team quarterly and prn. Record review of Resident #51 physician orders dated [DATE] indicated Resident #51 was a DNR. Record review Resident #51's OOH-DNR form dated [DATE] indicated the the date of birth section was blank; Section C labeled, Declaration by qualified relative of the adult person adult child box was checked signed and dated [DATE]. Section labeled TWO WITNESSES indicated, Witness #2 signed, dated [DATE], two years prior to the qualified relative signed the DNR indicating the qualified relative signature was not witnessed. The bottom of the form indicated All persons who have signed above must sign below, acknowledge that this document has been properly completed. The bottom of the form was not signed by witness #1 or witness #2. During an observation on [DATE] at 9:30 a.m. Resident #51 was lying in her bed in her room. She was unable to answer the interview questions. Attempted to contact Resident #51's responsible party on [DATE] at 11:10 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. with message requesting a return call; no returned call received. During an interview on [DATE] at 1:15 p.m., SS E said that she was responsible for assisting with OOH DNR. She said that she did not know that the witnesses had to sign the bottom of the OOH DNR form under All persons who have signed above must sign below, acknowledging that this

document has been properly completed until awhile back. She said when she was notified of the witness signatures required at the bottom of the OOH DNR, she reviewed the current residents with OOH DNRs and must have missed Resident #51's not being signed or completed correctly. She said if the form was not completed correctly, that made it null and void. She said she would notify the facility staff and DON immediately and contact Resident #51's responsible party to have a new OOH DNR completed. The SS E said she would check all the DNRs for proper completeness of signatures and dates. The SS E said a resident's wishes may not have been followed if their advance directive was not completed. SS E verified there were no additional advance directives for Resident #51. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:15 p.m., the DON said Advance Directives were reviewed by the social worker to ensure accuracy. The DON said Advance Directives should be completed thoroughly to include dates that the document was witnessed and signed. The DON said she was made aware of the incomplete OOH-DNR on Resident #51 by SS E and the current OOH DNR was incomplete which would meant Resident #51 was a full code (staff would have to initiate CPR). The DON said it was important for Advance Directives to be completed thoroughly to ensure the documents were legally binding. The DON said the negative outcome would be that the resident could have CPR performed on them against their wishes. The DON said she would ensure the advance directive for Resident #51 was updated as soon as possible. Record review of a Do Not Resuscitate Order back page instructions read, .the OOH-DNR order Must be signed and dated by two competent adult witnesses who have witnessed either the competent adult person making his or her signature in section A.The original or copy of a fully and properly completed OOH-DNR order or the presence of an out of hospital DNR device on a person is sufficient evidence of the existence of the original out of hospital DNR order and either one shall be honored by responding health care professionals. Record review of the facility policy undated Do Not Resuscitate Order policy indicated: . It is the policy of the facility to honor Do Not Resuscitate Orders in accordance to State and Federal regulations .

Ensure the transfer/discharge meets the resident's needs/preferences and that the resident is prepared for a safe transfer/discharge. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure development and implementation of an effective discharge planning process that focused on the resident's discharge goals for 1 (Resident #15) of 10 residents reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to develop and implement a person-centered discharge care plan with interventions for Resident #15. This failure could place residents at risk of not having individual needs met, a decreased quality of life, and cause residents not to receive needed services.Findings Record review of Resident #15's admission record dated 02/03/2026 indicated he was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses of dementia (loss of cognitive functioning), cerebral infarction (lack of adequate blood supply to brain cells deprives them of oxygen and vital nutrients which can cause parts of the brain to die off), memory deficit following a stroke, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-a lung disease that blocks airflow making it difficult to breathe), malignant neoplasm (cancer) of prostate. Record review of an admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #15 had a BIMS score of 07 which indicated a severe cognitive impairment. He required partial to moderate assistance with self-care ADLs such as toileting, bathing, and was independent with his mobility. He had behaviors of disorganized thinking. He had active discharge planning already occurring for the resident to return to the community with no referral made to the local contact agency due to resident declined referral. Record review of Resident #15's care plan, revised 10/22/2025, indicated he had a risk for elopement. The care plan did not indicate Resident #15 had a care plan implemented or developed for discharge plans or resident's preference and potential for future discharge. Record review of Resident #15's physicians order dated 01/30/2026 indicated ok for discharge to home/community. Record review of Resident #51's psychosocial assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #15 expectation for discharge was to discharge to the community at another facility or community. The comments indicated he was admitted for long term placement, but Resident #51's family does have a goal to take him home if able. Record review of Resident #51's psychosocial assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #15 discharge assessment included: expectation for discharge was to discharge to the community at another facility or community, active plans for resident to return to community, discharge was a feasible goal and referral was made. During an interview and observation on 02/02/2026 at 10:26 a.m., Resident #15 said he was being discharged from the facility soon. Resident #15's family member entered the room and stated that Resident #15 had a plan to discharge on [DATE], but it was delayed waiting for approval or paperwork for the home health referral and acceptance. Resident #15 and family member (facility nurse) said the discharge plan was to return home with the family member, and supervision and monitoring would be provided. Resident #15 and the family member said they had care plan meetings and discussions with the facility staff regarding discharging home and safe discharge processes and was waiting for new discharge date . During an interview on 02/02/2026 at 11:00 a.m., LVN M stated she was the nurse for Resident #15, and he had physician orders for discharge, but it was postponed due to awaiting paperwork for approval for home health and a safe discharge assessment. During an interview on 02/04/2026 at 10:00 a.m., the MDS Coordinator stated it was the job of the DON and herself to update all care plans. She stated she received a psychosocial assessment from the social services department and entered the information into the EMR to create the MDS. She said from the data entered, the MDS care plans were generated. She said she was unsure how she missed developing and implementing the care plan and interventions for discharge on Resident #15. She said Resident #15's comprehensive care plan should have discharge plans. During an interview on 02/04/2026 at 10:15 a.m., SS E

said she performed social services responsibilities under the corporate SW. She said she discussed discharge planning during her psychosocial assessments that she completed on admission, quarterly and as the need arose. She said she completed the psychosocial assessment on paper and gave it to the MDS Coordinator for it to be entered in the EMR as part of the MDS. She said she was aware Resident #15 had planned to return home or into the community with family, and she worked with home health services that were within his insurance network to start when he was discharged . During an interview on 02/04/2026 at 11:00 a.m., the DON stated Resident #15 had planned discharge the end of January 2026, but due to him being admitted as an elopement risk, the facility wanted Resident #15 to remain at the facility for 180 days with no elopement issues to provide a safe discharge to the home/community. She said Resident #15 and the family agreed on the delayed discharge and were waiting for approval for home health services. She said she could not think of a negative outcome for discharge planning not being on the care plan, but the facility and staff should follow state regulations and policy, and it is required that discharge plans be on the care plan. During an interview on 02/04/2026 at 02:00 p.m., the Administrator said he expected staff to follow facility policies and to update and revise residents' care plans to accurately reflect the residents' needs. Record review of the facility's undated policy titled ‘Comprehensive Care Planning indicated Intent: It is the policy of the facility to promote seamless interdisciplinary care for our residents by utilizing the interdisciplinary plan of care based on assessments, planning, treatment, service and intervention.

The facility failed to develop and implement a person-centered PICC Line IV care plan with interventions for Resident #45. This failure could place residents at risk of not having individual needs met, a decreased quality of life, and cause residents not to receive needed services.Record review of Resident #45's Face Sheet, dated 02/03/26 indicated a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident was diagnosed with urinary tract infection and mycoplasma pneumonia (Bacteria that causes respiratory infection). Record review of Resident #45's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 12/09/2025, indicated the resident's cognition was intact with a BIMS score of 15. Record review of Resident #45's Care Plan, dated 11/12/25, indicated there were no care plans for PICC line dressing care, flushing, or for IV antibiotic.Review of Resident #45's Physician Order, dated 01/28/26, indicated Sodium Chloride 0.9% solution 50ml with Cefepime 2 gm, inject 2gm into the vein every 12 hours for 3 days diagnosis mycoplasma pneumonia. There were no orders for PICC line flushes.Record review of Resident #45's MAR/TAR, dated 01/26, indicated there was no documentation to indicate administering PICC line dressing, flushes, or for IV antibiotic.During an interview on 02/03/26 at 2:29 PM, the MDS nurse said Resident #45's care plan should have been revised on 01/28/26 when the order was obtained for the IV antibiotic. The MDS Nurse, when asked if Resident #45 had a care plan for the IV PICC line checked the resident's medical record and said there were no care plans related to the IV or Flushing. She stated either the ADON or DON was responsible for updating care plans. The MDS Nurse said all information about a resident was to be care planned. She stated the interdisciplinary team, and all staff was to follow what was documented on the plan of care for each resident, and if IV flushes were not on the care plan, there was a possibility if a nurse reviewed the care plan, the nurse may not know how to use the IV line.In an interview on 02/03/26 at 2:00 p.m., the DON stated there should be a care plan on Resident #45's chart about the PICC line with interventions to flush before connecting the IV bag with antibiotics and after. She said there should also be interventions on when to change the dressing and what to assess, like check for signs and symptoms of infections. She said everything done for the resident should have care plan. She said the nurses might know what to do, but there should be a care plan so the staff would be insync with the resident's care. The DON said the MDS nurse was responsible for care plans, and she (DON) reviewed the care plans for completeness.In an interview on 02/04/2026 at 3:00 p.m., the Administrator stated the expectation was care plans to be in place to make sure the staff were doing the care correctly. Record review of the facility's undated policy entitled Comprehensive Resident Centered Care Plans indicated in- part: Intent: The care plan will contain information about the physical, emotional/ psychological, psychosocial, spiritual, educational and environmental needs as appropriate.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide the appropriate care and services to prevent urinary tract infections to the extent possible for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for indwelling catheters. (Resident #9) -Resident #9 had a urinalysis specimen obtained on 01/30/26 due to complaint of discomfort from lower abdomen to his penis and cloudy urine. The facility staff did not follow up on obtaining results and Resident #9 continued with signs of a possible UTI. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving the required level of care and possible sepsis. Findings included:Record review of a face sheet dated 02/04/26 indicated Resident #9 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE]. His diagnoses included multiple sclerosis (a chronic condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve cells), urinary retention (when the bladder (where urine is stored) doesn't empty when a person pees), urogenital implants (a medical device that is surgically placed within the male's penis to treat various conditions), neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder (when an injury or disease interrupts the electrical signals between the nerves that control bladder function), benign prostatic hyperplasia (a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland), and history of urinary tract infections (an infection in the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra). Record review of the quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #9 had moderately impaired cognition and he had an indwelling catheter. Record review of a care plan revised on 11/13/25 indicated Resident #9 had an indwelling foley catheter and was at risk for frequent UTIs, dislodgement, or other complications. Interventions included monitor for and report foul smelling, turbid urine, low-grade temp, blood in tubing or drainage bag, urine is no longer straw colored, etc.; monitor for and report inflammation or signs of infection in the area around the catheter. Signs of infection include pus or irritated, swollen, red, or tender skin; and monitor for and report to MD pain or cramps for a prolonged period, urine stops for 2 or 3 hours, bloody urine, urine that is cloudy, irritation around the abdominal opening, signs of infection such as fever or chills, an unusual, strong smelling discharge, urinary spasms, which cause sharp pains in the lower abdomen. Record review of Nurse Notes for Resident #9 indicated the following entries:* on 01/29/26 at 04:00 p.m., he reported pain radiating from the lower abdomen/stomach down to his penis; and* on 01/30/26 at 09:20 a.m., he allowed the nurse to assess his lower abdomen which was slightly distended and he complained of pain when touched. His catheter tubing had cloudy urine sediment. Hospice was contacted and an order was received for urinalysis with culture and sensitivity for complaint of lower abdominal pain. Hospice indicated they would have their laboratory to run the urine test. Record review of a Physician's Telephone Orders form indicated Resident #9 had an order dated 01/30/26 for UA /c C&S c/o lower abdominal pain. Record review of Nurse Notes for Resident #9 indicated the following entries:* on 01/30/26 at 10:30 a.m., the urine sample was collected from Resident #9 and placed in the refrigerator for pick up; * on 01/30/26 at 02:30 p.m., his catheter had amber colored urine flowing into the drainage bag; * on 01/31/26 at 12:30 a.m., there was no documentation of laboratory results received;* on 01/31/26 at 01:00 p.m., his catheter had dark colored urine and there was no documentation of laboratory results received;* on 01/31/26 at 03:15 p.m., his catheter had cloudy urine and there was no documentation of laboratory results received;* on 02/01/26 at 10:00 a.m., hospice nurse was contacted because Resident was complaining of abdominal pain; urine to catheter drainage bag thick, appeared mucous tinged, and copious; he complained of being cold with temperature assessed at 97.8 degrees; and there was no documentation of laboratory results received;* on 02/01/26 at 11:20 a.m., hospice nurse was at the

facility, spoke with Resident family member and family member said abdominal pain from upcoming gallbladder surgery; hospice nurse notified MD about the Resident's upcoming surgery; there was no documentation of resident urine being assessed and addressed; and there was no documentation of laboratory results received;* on 02/01/26 at 06:00 p.m., his catheter had cloudy urine in the tubing and there was no documentation of laboratory results received;* on 02/02/26 at 09:00 a.m., urine to catheter tubing noted thick and yellow and there was no documentation of laboratory results received; and * on 02/02/26 at 11:00 a.m., hospice nurse at facility, no new orders, and awaiting C&S. There was no indication any initial laboratory results were received. During an observation on 02/02/26 at 11:02 a.m. Resident #9 was resting in bed. He had a catheter bag on the right side of the bed. There was thick yellow/white colored mucous appearing urine noted in catheter bag tubing. During an observation and interview on 02/03/2026 at 10:59 a.m. Resident #9 had urine in his catheter bag tubing with thick, turbulent, yellow colored sediment, with dark amber streaks. The Tx Nurse said the urine in the catheter tubing did look bad like he may have an infection. She said there was a specimen obtained for urinalysis on Friday (01/30/26) but did not know if the results were back yet. During an interview on 02/03/2026 at 11:10 a.m. LVN D said Resident #9 had an order for a UA with C&S on 01/30/26 and the specimen was obtained. She said hospice had sent the same day. She had not received anything back yet on Resident #9's urinalysis. She said she had not followed up with the hospice nurse on the results at this time. During an interview on 02/03/2026 at 02:45 p.m. the DON said they received the order for the urinalysis on Friday (01/30/26), the specimen was obtained, and hospice picked up the specimen to send to their lab. She said they had to send the specimen off to their lab who just received the specimen today (02/03/26). She said she had not followed up on the specimen report as well as the charge nurses. She said because of the delay they had received a stat (fast, quickly, immediately) order today (02/03/26) to obtain the specimen and to send to their lab so they would have a result tonight. She said a delay in getting lab results could be a delay of treatment. She said this could result in the resident's infection progressing into sepsis (a potentially life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs) and could possibly cause death. Record review of a Physician's Telephone Orders form indicated Resident #9 had an order dated 02/03/26 for UA /c Reflex to PCR. During an interview on 02/03/26 at 03:22 p.m. the IP said she was not aware Resident #9 had not had the results of the urine specimen returned. She said she had not followed up with the CN, the hospice nurse, or the laboratory about the results. She said she was to follow up when residents had suspected infections or infections. She said an untreated urinary infection could lead to sepsis. During an interview and record review on 02/03/2026 at 5:15 p.m. the DON provided a lab result dated 02/03/26. The results indicated Resident #9 was positive for leukocyte esterase (an enzyme produced by white blood cells-presence usually means infection), nitrites (usually indicate a bacterial urinary tract infection), or catalase (it did not specify which one) and positive for catalase bacteria screen (an enzyme that can be detected in urinary tract infections). She said they should be getting the remaining results this evening or tomorrow and would provide to surveyor. She said the physician did not want to place the resident on any antibiotic at this time. Record review of a laboratory result dated 02/03/26 indicated Resident #9's urine was dark yellow colored (should be clear, yellowed colored), 3+ blood (normal level would be negative), 2+ protein (normal level would be negative), 3+ leukocyte esterase (normal level would be negative, and positive for catalase bacteria screen (normal level would be negative).

The facility failed to ensure Resident #45 had orders to flush the IV before and after medication administration. This failure could place residents receiving IV medications at risk for injury, infections, IV infiltration, clogging, and pain,. Findings included: Record review of Resident #45's Face Sheet dated 02/03/26 indicated a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident was diagnosed with urinary tract infection and mycoplasma pneumonia (bacteria that causes respiratory infections). Record review of Resident #45's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 12/09/2025, indicated the resident was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15. Record review of Resident #45's Care Plan, dated 11/12/25, indicated there were no care plans for PICC line dressing care, flushing or for IV antibiotic.

When asked if Resident #45 had orders for flushing and dressing changes, LVN N checked the resident's medical record and said there were no orders for flushing and dressing changes and there should be an order. In an interview on 02/03/26 at 2:00 p.m., the DON stated there should be an order on the Resident #45's chart about flushing the PICC line before connecting the IV bag with antibiotics and after. She said there should also be orders on when to change the dressing and what to assess and check for signs and symptoms of infections. She said everything done for the resident should have orders. She said the nurses might know what to do, but there should be orders so the staff would be insync with the residents' care. The DON said, for example, if there was no order when to flush the IV line, the staff would not be able to flush the IV because it would not be on the resident's eTAR/MAR. She said she already started an in-service. In an interview on 02/04/2026 at 3:00 p.m., the Administrator stated the expectation was that orders would be in place to make sure the staff were doing the care correctly.
