Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to:1.Follow its policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
Nursing Care of the Older Adult with Diabetes Mellitus [a condition where the body cannot properly control
blood sugar (glucose) levels], for one of one sampled resident (Resident 56). This failure had the potential
for Resident 56 to experience hyperglycemia (blood sugar above target levels) symptoms (such as increase
thirst, fatigue, headache, and blurred vision) and complications (such as heart disease, stroke, kidney
disease, diabetic eye disease, foot complications, and nerve damage [neuropathy]).2.Follow its policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, Lab and Diagnostic Test Results-Clinical Protocol, when a physician failed to review
one of two sampled residents (Resident 30)'s test results in a timely manner and provide treatment to
Resident 30. This failure had the potential for a delay in care and experience adverse health outcomes.
1.During a record review of Resident 56's admission RECORD (AR), dated 12/18/25, the AR indicated on
admission date of 11/19/25 a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DM2) with hyperglycemia and

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow its policy and procedure (P &
P) titled, Safe and Homelike Environment, for one of six sampled residents (Resident 13), when cold air
entered the room from the closed sliding door. This failure resulted in Resident 13 feeling cold in her room
and had the potential for Resident 13 to become hypothermic (extreme cold temperature). Findings:During
a concurrent observation and interview on 12/15/25 at 11:21 a.m. with Resident 13 in Resident 13's room,
a piece of plastic was covering bottom of the closed patio sliding door. Resident 13 stated the air leaking
from under the sliding door made her feel cold. Resident 13 stated the room was freezing cold.During an
interview on 12/18/25 at 11:57 a.m. with Environmental Supervisor (ES), ES stated Resident 13
complained about being cold in her room. ES was unable to provide documentation a door company was
contacted regarding Resident 13's patio door leaking cold air.During a review of the facility's Policy and
Procedure (P&P) titled, Safe and Homelike Environment, (undated), the P&P indicated, Comfortable and
safe temperature levels, means that the ambient temperature should be in a relatively narrow range that
minimizes residents' [sic] susceptibility to loss of body heat and risk of hypothermia/ hyperthymia[sic] and is
comfortable for the residents.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow its policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care
Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered (CCP) for three of six sampled residents (Resident 6, Resident 21,
and Resident 32) when:Resident 21's CCP titled, Resident 21 is on Prophylactic Antibiotic Therapy

contagious bacterial infection that usually attacks the lungs with two forms: latent and active [disease]) was
not followed. Resident 32 did not have CCPs developed for anxiety (feelings of unease) and use of
hydrOXYzine (medication to help reduce anxiety).These failures had the potential for Resident 6, Resident
21, and Resident 32 to have a delay in care. Findings:1. During a review of Resident 21's CCP titled,
Resident 21 is on Prophylactic Antibiotic Therapy r/t diagnosis of latent tuberculosis, dated 11/4/25. The
CCP indicated, Goal: Resident 21 will be free of any s/s (sign and symptoms) of TB with intervention of Any

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to follow its policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
Resident Participation- Assessment/Care Plans, when one of one sampled resident (Resident 10)'s
representative (RP) was not followed up to attend the Interdisciplinary Team Meetings (IDT-a meeting
where professionals meet to collaborate, develop, review, and coordinate a care plan) to participate and
follow-up after those meetings when the RP was not in attendance for the last six months. This failure had
the potential to result in Resident 10's unmet care needs. Findings: During an interview on 12/15/25 at 3:03
p.m. with Family Member (FM) 1, FM 1 stated she has never been asked to participate in care planning or
care conferences to discuss the care provided to Resident 10. FM 1 stated she had concerns about the
care being provided to Resident 10 that had not been addressed by the facility. During a concurrent
interview and record review on 12/17/25 at 9:32 a.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 10's IDT
Care Conference Summary (IDTCCS), dated 6/19/25 and 9/11/25 were reviewed. The IDTCCS indicated
Resident 10's RP [FM 1] had not been attending the quarterly meetings. The IDTCCS indicated there was
no follow up to Resident 10's FM 1 to discuss the meeting and care provided to Resident 10. DON stated
the FM 1 was not answering when we called. DON stated we should have followed up and called the FM 1
again. DON stated the importance of the FM 1 being a part of the IDT meetings was because it provides
them with updates on care and for them to provide any further guidance in the care, they want the resident
to receive. DON stated Social Services should be sending a letter to the FM 1 to indicate the date and time
of the next meeting. DON stated there was no follow-up with the FM 1 from the last two care conferences.
During an interview on 12/17/25 at 9:39 a.m. with Social Services Director (SSD), SSD stated she sends
out a certified letter to the representative a week before the IDT meeting. During a concurrent interview and
record review on 12/17/25 at 9:40 a.m. with SSD, Resident 10's IDTCCS, dated 6/16/25 and 9/11/25 were
reviewed. The IDTCCS indicated there was no follow up to the FM 1 after the meeting. SSD stated the RP
did not participate in the meeting and there was no follow-up to the FM 1 after the meeting. SSD stated a
certified letter was not sent to the FM 1 indicating the next meeting date and time prior to the IDT Care
Conference. SSD stated she should have continued to call the FM 1 the next few days to follow up. SSD
stated the IDT Care Conferences are not completed until the RP is notified. SSD stated the IDT Care
Conferences held in June and September have not been completed. SSD stated the last time she spoke
with FM 1 was in March 2025, six months ago. SSD stated FM 1 not participating in the IDT care
conferences is a concern and should have followed up.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Resident
Participation- Assessment/Care Plans, dated 2/2021, the P&P indicated, Policy Statement: The resident
and his or her representative are encouraged to participate in the resident's assessment and in the
development and implementation of the resident's care plan. Policy Interpretation and Implementation: 1.
The resident and his or her legal representative are encouraged to attend and participate in the resident's
assessment and in the development of the resident's person-centered care plan.5. Facility staff supports
and encourages resident/representative participation in the care planning process by.b. holding care
planning meetings at times of day when the resident, representative and family members can attend and
are functioning at their best; c. providing sufficient notice in advance of the meeting.9. The social services
director or designee is responsible for notifying the resident/ representative and for maintaining records of
such notices.

assigned to room visits to see residents daily who do not participate in activities in the activity room. AA 1
stated activity documentation is completed in the activity's binder. During an interview on 12/16/25 at 3:01
p.m. with Activities Director (AD), AD stated her expectation for staff is to notify all residents of the activities
that are happening daily and complete room visits for those residents who did not participate in the group
activities daily. AD stated room visits should include activities such as coloring, word search, sudoku,
dominos, and magazines. AD stated room visits should last between 10-15 minutes for each resident. AD
stated staff should assist Resident 5 daily to join group activities in the activities room. AD stated if
Resident 5 did not participate in the group activity, then a room visit should be provided to Resident 5. AD
