This survey cited 5 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 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure three of the nine sampled residents (Resident 4, Resident 5 and Resident 6) call lightswere placed within reach. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential for the residents to not call for help in case of emergency and for any needs, and can negatively impact the physical, medical and psychosocial well-being of the resident when provision of services were delayed. Findings: a) During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/23/2025 at 11:20 a.m. with Certified Nurse Assistance (CNA) 1 in Resident 4 ' s room, Resident 4 ' s call light was hanging on the left side of the bed and was tangled on the siderail. Resident 4 was unable to reach the call light. Resident 4 stated the call light needs to be close to me, so I can ask for water. CNA 1 untangled the call light and handed it to Resident 4. CNA 1 stated the call light should be within Resident 4 ' s reach so he can call for assistance and we can attend to Resident ' s 4 needs. During a review of Resident 4 ' s admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 4 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE], and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) blindness right eye (he complete or near complete loss of vision), and epilepsy (a brain disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, which are caused by sudden bursts of abnormal electrical activity in the brain.) During a review of Resident 4 ' s History and Physical (H&P) dated 2/21/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 4 had the mental capacity to understand and make medical decisions. During a review of residents 4 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS – a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 1/30/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 4 had no cognitive (ability to think and reason) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 4 was dependent with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, toilet use, personal hygiene, and transfer (moving between surfaces to and from bed, chair, and wheelchair) and bed mobility (how resident moves from lying to turning side to side.) b) During an observation on 4/23/2025 at 11:35 a.m. in Resident 5 ' s room, Resident 5 was asleep. Resident 5 ' s call light was observed hanging outside of Resident ' s 5 left side of the bed. CNA 1 observed the call light and placed the call light in Resident ' s 5 hand. During a review of Resident 5 ' s admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 5 was (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 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few originally admitted to the facility on [DATE], and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral ischemia (CVA-stroke, loss of blood flow to a part of the brain) muscle weakness (a reduced ability to exert force with one's muscles, resulting in a loss of strength), and intervertebral disc degeneration (a common condition where the cushioning discs between vertebrae in the spine wear down over time .) During a review of Residents 5 ' s MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 5 had cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 5 was dependent with ADLs, transfer and bed mobility. c) During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/23/2025 at 11:45 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 in Resident 6 ' s room, Resident 6 ' s call light was observed on top of the resident ' s nightstand. LVN 2 stated the call light should have been placed close to the resident and not on top of the nightstand. LVN 2 stated, residents use call lights to communicate with the nurses in case of an emergency or any needs. During a review of Resident 6 ' s admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 6 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE], and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral infarction, muscle weakness , and epilepsy. During a review of Residents 6 ' s MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 6 had cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 6 required dependent assistance with ADLs, transfer and bed mobility. During an interview on 4/24/2025 at 12:11 p.m. with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated answering call lights is the responsibility of everybody at the facility. CNA 1 stated if there was a delay in answering the call lights, theresidents could fall or in cases of emergency, the residents could not [NAME] ask for help. CNA 1 stated call lights must be positioned within the reach of Resident 4 and Resident 5. During an interview on 4/25/2025 at 3:30 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated call lights must be placed within the residents ' reach so that when they need assistance the can call right away. The DON stated the risk of not having the call lights within reach is that residents could not get the assistance they need. The DON stated everybody in the facility is responsible in answering the call lights. During a review of the facility ' s policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Answering Call Light, dated 10/24/2024, the P&P indicated the facility must ensure that the call light is accessible to the resident when in bed, toilet, shower or bathing.

F 0678 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Provide basic life support, including CPR, prior to the arrival of emergency medical personnel , subject to physician orders and the resident’s advance directives. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its Policy and Procedure (P/P) titled, Emergency Procedure -Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR- an emergency procedure to restart a person's heart and breathing after one or both suddenly stop) which indicated staff are trained to initiate CPR, BLS (Basic life Support-medical care for residents experiencing cardiac arrest [when the heart stops beating] or respiratory distress [difficulty in breathing), and defibrillation ([Automated External Defibrillation (AED)- an electrical current to help your heart return to a normal heart beat in someone experiencing cardiac arrest or severe arrhythmias [improper beating of the heart), for one of one sampled Resident (Resident 1), who had a full code status (when a medical personnel performs life-saving measures in a medical emergency), was observed unresponsive in bed as evidenced by: 1. On [DATE] at 4:10 p.m., a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 observed Resident 1 was not breathing, and left the resident unattended in the resident's room, to notify the Registered Nurses (RN) 1 and 2. 2. CNA 1 did not activate code blue (emergency code that alerts staff that a resident is experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency such as a cardiac arrest) as soon as he (CNA 1) observed Resident 1 unresponsive. 3. CNA 1 did not check Resident 1's vital signs including the resident's pulse when the resident was found unresponsive. 4. RN 2 and Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 initiated CPR on Resident 1 but did not use the defibrillator. 5. RN 1 was not knowledgeable on how to use the defibrillator. These deficient practices resulted in Resident 1's death and placed 86 residents who had full code statuses, at risk of not receiving timely life saving measures. On [DATE] at 5:31p.m., the Administrator (ADM), and Director of Nursing (DON) were notified of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ- a situation on which the facility's noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause serious injury, harm impairment, or death to a resident) was called for the facility's failure to implement its P/P during a medical emergency (cardiac arrest) for Resident 1 . The ADM and DON were notified of the seriousness of all residents' health and safety were at risk due to staff's failure to implement their P/P titled, Emergency Procedure-CPR during a code situation. The facility needs a system in place to ensure: 1. Staff are trained and aware of all emergency procedures including the use of a defibrillator when a resident becomes unresponsive. 2. Staff are knowledgeable on how to care for a full code resident who becomes unresponsive. 3. Staff initiates code blue as soon as a resident is observed unresponsive. An IJ removal plan (an intervention to immediately correct the deficient practices) was requested.

These deficient practices placed Resident 1 at risk of poor wound healing process and wound infection. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/23/2025 at 9:58 a.m., Resident 1 was observed on bed and had a very rough skin in both lower legs (BLE). Resident 1 stated the treatment nurse did not apply the lotion ordered by the doctor for my lower legs every day and did not wrap my legs. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/24/2025 at 4:20 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN) 1, LVN 1 was observed in Residents 1 ' s room providing wound care to the resident in bed A (roommate).

During a review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical (H&P) dated 3/26/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had the mental capacity to understand and make medical decisions. During a review of Residents 1 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS – a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 3/23/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had no cognitive (ability to think and reason) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required substantial/maximal assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, toilet use, personal hygiene, and transfer (moving between surfaces to and from bed, chair, and wheelchair) and bed mobility (how resident moves from lying to turning side to side.) During a review of Resident 1 ' s physician ' s orders dated 3/19/2025, the physician ' s order indicated to apply urea cream (helps soften dry, rough or thick skin) 40% to BLE dry skin, after shower or bed bath, wrap with kerlix (bulky gauze used for wound care) every dayshift for 30 days.

During an interview on 4/25/2025 at 3:30 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated it was very important to follow the physician ' s order for Resident 1 to provide accurate care. The DON stated nurses must follow doctors ' orders as prescribed. The DON stated the risk of not following Resident 1 ' s physician ' s order was that the cream would not be properly absorbed in the skin and can cause a delay in wound healing. The DON stated LVN 1 should have followedthe physician order to cover the wound with the dressing. The DON stated after each wound treatment, LVN 1 must document in the TAR. The DON stated failing to document will create confusion and it will show that the treatment was not provided.

This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 1 to have UTI. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/24/2025 at 10:00 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN) 3, LVN 3 stated Resident 1 ' s FC drainage bag had sediments, the urine was cloudy and amber in color.

LVN 2 stated if the FC urine was observed amber in color, had sediments and cloudiness, a change of condition (COC) must be done, inform the physician and collect urine specimen. LVN2 stated if the nurse failed to follow those procedure, Resident 1 could be at risk of getting infection, sepsis, and UTI. During an interview on 4/25/2025 at 3:30 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON) the DON stated FC must be assessed every shift by LVNs to identify any signs of UTI.
