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
interview and record review the facility failed to:1. Ensure one of five sampled residents (Resident 30)
Practitioner Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment ([POLST] - a medical order form that documents specific
medical treatment in the event of a medical emergency) part D of the form was completed.This deficient
practice of not having the POLST completed had the potential for Resident 30's wishes not to be carried
out in the time of distress. During a review of Resident 30's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face
Sheet indicated Resident 30 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Resident 30's diagnoses included pleural effusion (accumulation of excess fluid in the pleural
spaces between the lungs), heart failure (heart muscle cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's
metabolic needs), and chronic obstructive pulmonary ([COPD]- a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in
breathing).During a review of Resident 30's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/9/2026, the H&P indicated
Resident 30 had the capacity to make decisions for activities of daily living. During a review of Resident
30's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a comprehensive assessment and care-screening tool), dated 12/22/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 30 cognition (ability to learn, reason, remember, understand, and make
decisions) was severely impaired.During a review of Resident 30's POLST, dated 4/17/2025, the POLST
part D information and signatures were incomplete. During a concurrent interview and record review on
2/12/2026 at 1:31 p.m., with Social Services Director (SSD), Resident 30's POLST, dated 4/17/2025, was
reviewed. The POLST indicated part D information and signatures were incomplete. The SSD stated the
POLST part D was incomplete. The SSD stated the POLST not being complete will have a big impact on
how to move forward with Resident 30's care. During a concurrent interview and record review on
2/12/2026 at 2:44 p.m., with Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 30's POLST, dated 4/17/2025, was
reviewed. The POLST indicated part D information and signatures were incomplete. The DON stated when
the residents were admitted the Social Service were to assist with the POLST to make sure it was
completed. The DON stated it was important to make sure that life sustaining form was completed to
provide and honor Resident 30's wishes. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures titled,
Practitioner Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST), unknown date, the P&P indicated a process for
nursing homes to follow when a person who resides or is considered residency, has a POLST form. The
P&P indicated at the time of admission, the facility will determine whether the individual has completed a
POLST form. The P&P indicated the facility will review the existing POLST for completeness.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to: 1. Report to the physician a change in
condition when sediments (the solid matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid, such as urine) and cloudy
urine were observed in the indwelling urine catheter (a medical device inserted into the bladder to drain
urine continuously) tubing for one of one sampled resident (Resident 2). This deficient practice had the
potential to delay clinical assessment and timely medical intervention. Findings:During a review of Resident
2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 2 on 4/17/2023 and
readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including malignant neoplasm of prostate (prostate cancer), chronic
kidney disease (CKD - condition which the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood as well as they
should), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH - enlargement of the prostate gland that compresses the
urethra[a tube that lets urine leave your body], causing symptoms such as weak stream, frequent urination,
and difficulty emptying the bladder), and unspecified dementia (general term for the impaired ability to
remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities). During a review of
Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/13/2025, the H&P indicated, Resident 2 had the
capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a
standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 12/15/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2
sometimes understands, responds adequately to smple direct communication only. The MDS indicated
Resident 2 was maximal assistant (helper does more than half the effort) from staff for activities of daily
living (ADLs) such as toileting hygiene, showering, and dressing. The MDS indicated Resident 2 had an
indwelling catheter. During an observation on 2/11/2026 at 2:55 p.m. in Resident 2's room, Resident 2's
indwelling urinary catheter tubing contained visible sediment and cloudy urine. During an observation on
2/13/2026 at 8:16 a.m. in Resident 2's room, Resident 2's indwelling urinary catheter tubing contained
visible sediment and cloudy urine. During a review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report (physician
order), dated 12/11/2025, the physician order indicated to monitor signs and symptoms of UTI, urine
output, color, odor and sediments every shift, notify physician as needed. During a review of Resident 2's
Resident Care Plan titled, Indwelling Catheter, dated 12/11/2025, the care plan indicated, was at risk for
UTI, injury, etc. due to indwelling catheter. Monitor urine for sediment, cloudy, odor, blood and amount.
Report promptly to the physician. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/13/2026 at 10:00
a.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 reviewed Resident 2's medical record and did not find
documentation of a change in condition assessment or physician notification for cloudy urine and sediment
in the catheter tubing. RN 1 stated nursing staff assessed indwelling urinary catheters for abnormalities
such as cloudy urine or sediment. RN 1 stated these findings signified a change in condition and required
staff to notify the physician and implement new orders as received. During an interview on 2/13/2026 at
2:24 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated staff are expected to monitor urine in an
indwelling catheter and notify the physician when changes such as cloudy urine or sediment are observed.
The DON stated early notification allows the physician to evaluate the resident and provide treatment as
indicated. During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Catheter Care, Urinary, dated
October 2010, the P&P indicated, The purpose of this procedure was to prevent catheter-associated
urinary tract infections. Observe the resident for complication's associated with urinary catheters; Observe
for other signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection and to report findings to the physician or supervisor
immediately. During a review of facility's P&P titled, Change in a Resident's Condition or Status, dated April

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to: 1. Ensure the Minimum Data Set (MDS)
resident assessment accurately reflected tobacco use status for two of 13 sampled residents (Residents 8
and 17). The MDS coded the residents as non-tobacco users despite documentation and staff confirming
tobacco use within the required look-back period. This deficient practice had the potential to affect the
accuracy of resident assessment data used for care planning, quality measures, and facility monitoring of
smoking-related safety needs. Findings:A.During a review of Resident 8's admission Record, the admission
Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 8 on 6/4/2025 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
including epilepsy (recurrent brief episodes of involuntary movement that may involve a part of the body or
the entire body), schizoaffective disorder-bipolar type (a mental illness that can affect thoughts, mood, and
behavior) unspecified dementia (general term for the impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions
that interferes with doing everyday activities). During a review of Resident 8's History and Physical (H&P),
dated 2/8/2026, the H&P indicated Resident 8 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 12/4/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 8 was assessed to have moderate cognitive (difficulty
with thinking) impairment in daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 8 was independent for
activities of daily living (ADLs) such as eating, oral and toileting hygiene and supervision assistance from
staff for showering, upper body dressing and transferring. B.During a review of Resident 17's admission
Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 17 on 12/5/2024 and readmitted on
[DATE] with diagnoses including epilepsy (recurrent brief episodes of involuntary movement that may
involve a part of the body or the entire body), schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness that can affect
thoughts, mood, and behavior) unspecified dementia (general term for the impaired ability to remember,
think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities). During a review of Resident 17's
History and Physical (H&P), dated 7/29/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 17 had fluctuating capacity to
understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 17's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated
Resident 17 was assessed to have moderate cognitive impairment in daily decision making. The MDS
indicated Resident 17 needed supervision for ADLs such as eating, oral and toileting hygiene, showering,
dressing and transferring. During a review of Resident 17's Smoking Safety Evaluation, dated 9/10/2025,
the smoking safety evaluation indicated Resident 17 does utilize tobacco. During an observation on
2/11/2026 at 1:00 p.m., at the designated smoking area, Resident 8 was observed smoking with staff
supervision. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/12/2026 at 2:15 p.m., with the MDS
Coordinator, the MDS Coordinator reviewed Resident 8's admission MDS, dated 6/9/ 2025, the MDS was
coded resident was not a tobacco user. The MDS Coordinator stated Resident 8 smoked at the time of the
assessment and acknowledged the tobacco use item was coded incorrectly. The MDS Coordinator
confirmed the MDS did not accurately reflect the resident's tobacco use status within the required look-back
period. During the same interview, the MDS Coordinator reviewed Resident 17's annual MDS dated [DATE],
the MDS was coded resident was not a tobacco user. The MDS Coordinator stated Resident 17 smoked at
the time of the assessment and acknowledged the tobacco use item was coded incorrectly. During an
interview on 2/12/2026 at 2:45 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the MDS must be
coded accurately and used to guide resident care planning. The DON stated inaccurate MDS coding would
result in an inaccurate plan of care. During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Resident
Assessment Instrument: Minimum Data Set and Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 9/2024, the P&P

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to: Ensure the lid on an opened
container of jelly was closed.Ensure a package of sandwich meat was stored in a closed container after
being opened.Ensure staff were monitoring temperatures in 2/2 dry food storage rooms by placing
thermometers inside. These deficient practices had the potential to result in contamination of food served to
the residents.Findings: During an observation on 2/11/2026 at 8:20 am of the kitchen refrigerator, there was
a square plastic container labeled jelly with a lid not closed on all four sides, and there was an opened
plastic bag of sliced meat uncovered. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/11/2026 at 8:20
am in the kitchen with the [NAME] (CK), the CK stated the lid of the jelly should have been closed on all
four sides and the sandwich meat should have been put into a closed container. The CK stated the food
could grow bacteria or become contaminated from not being in a closed container. During an observation
on 2/11/2026 at 11:30 am in the kitchen's dry storage rooms, there were no thermometers or logs to
monitor and document the temperature. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/11/2026 at
11:30 am in the dry storage room with the Dietary Assistant (DA), the DA stated there was no thermometer
to monitor the temperature. The second storage room does not have a thermometer either. The DA stated
there should be one in each room because if it gets too hot, the food could become contaminated and
make the residents sick. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Food Receiving
and Storage indicated all foods stored in the refrigerator will be covered, labeled and dated. The P&P also
indicated that non-refrigerated foods.will be stored in a designated dry storage unit which is temperature

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to: 1. Maintain equipment in the
kitchen when it was observed that the freezer was not kept at a temperature less than or equal to 0
degrees Fahrenheit. This deficient practice had the potential to result in contamination of food served to the
residents.Findings: During an observation on 2/11/2026 at 8:40 am in the kitchen, 1/2 freezer's
thermometer indicated a temperature of 48 degrees Fahrenheit (F). During a concurrent observation,
interview, and record review on 2/11/2026 at 8:30 am in the kitchen with the [NAME] (CK), the thermometer
inside the freezer indicated a temperature of 48 degrees F. The CK stated the freezer temperature should
be 0 degrees F or less to keep bacteria from growing on the food. A review of the temperature log taped to
the freezer titled Reach-In Refrigerator, dated February 2026 was reviewed. The temperature on days
labeled 7 through 11 indicated temperatures of -4, 20, 28, 50, and 50 degrees F. The CK confirmed the log
was for the freezer and stated that it had been broken for a few days. During a concurrent observation and
interview on 2/11/2026 at 11:20 am in the kitchen with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated he was
aware of the freezer temperature, and that maintenance told him someone was coming to fix it today. The
DS agreed that the freezer temperatures of 20 - 50 degrees F were too high for frozen food and that he
would move the food to a second working freezer until it was fixed. During an interview with the
Maintenance Supervisor (MS), the MS stated that he called for service over the weekend, and someone did
come out for repair and arranged to come back with the necessary parts today. During a review of the
facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Maintenance Service revised December 2009, indicated The
Maintenance Department is responsible for maintaining the buildings, grounds, and equipment in a safe

Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single
resident rooms.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to: 1. Ensure each resident had at least 80
square feet ([sq. ft.]- is a unit of, area measurement) of measured living space in rooms 1, 6, 7, 8, 9,
11,12,15,16, and 17.This deficient practice had the potential to result in residents not being able to move
around freely, store personal items, and for staff to have difficulty providing care for the residents due to the
lack of space. During an observation on 2/13/2026 at 2:15 p.m., room [ROOM NUMBER] had three
occupied residents' beds with a total of four beds in the room.During a review of the Client
