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 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.

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.

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.

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.
