This survey cited 18 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 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 ensure education and resources regarding Advance Directive (AD - written statement of a person's wishes regarding medical treatment) were provided to one of the three residents reviewed for AD (Residents 44), and or the Resident Representative (RP). This failure had the potential for Resident 44 and the RP to remain uneducated and uninformed about AD and could result in the facility being unable to know and honor the resident's wishes regarding medical treatment. Findings: On July 23, 2024, Resident 44's record was reviewed. Resident 44 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A review of Resident 44's History and Physical, dated June 9, 2024, indicated Resident 44 cannot make decisions. A review of Resident 44's Minimum Data Set (an assessment tool), dated June 12, 2024, indicated, Resident 44 had severely impaired cognitive skills. A review of Resident 44's Advance Directive Acknowledgement Form, dated June 10, 2024, indicated Resident 44 had not executed an Advance Directive. There was no documented evidence education and information about AD was provided to Resident 44 or the RP in the medical record. On July 24, 2024, at 9:42 a.m., during a concurrent interview and review of Resident 44's medical record with the Social Service Director (SSD), she stated if a resident does not have an AD, she would offer resources and education to the resident and/or the RP. The SSD stated, Resident 44 had no AD and she did not provide resources and education to Resident 44. The SSD stated she should have provided the resident resources and education and should have documented in the resident's records. On July 25, 2024, at 1:41 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed. The DON stated, upon admission, the licensed nurses would screen the resident regarding AD, and the SSD would follow-up. The DON stated, if the resident had no AD, the AD should be offered, educated should be provided, and information should be given to the resident and or RP.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 ensure for one of seven residents reviewed for environment (Resident 28) was provided with a clean, safe, and comfortable environment when: 1. The resident's call light button (a device that alerts healthcare staff for help in a facility) cord was damaged and cracked. In addition, the staff did not report the damaged and cracked call light button cord to maintenance for replacement. This failure had the potential to prevent Resident 28 from receiving assistance as needed. 2. The cabinet above the sink inside the bathroom had rust buildup on the bottom shelf. This failure had the potential to place Resident 28 at risk of living in an unkempt and un-homelike environment. Findings: 1. On July 23, 2024, at 10:34 a.m., during a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 28 in the resident's room, the call light button cord was found to be cracked and with exposed wires. Resident 28 stated he used the call light for help but was not aware his call light was damaged. On July 24, 2024, at 3:04 p.m., during a concurrent observation, interview, and review of the facility document titled, Maintenance Log with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS) in Resident 28's room, the MS stated Resident 28's call light is cracked. The MS further stated the call light should be in proper condition so the resident can call for assistance. The MS stated there was no work order for the resident's call light and and he had not been made aware of the need to replace it. On July 24, 2024, at 3:47 p.m., an interview with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 1, she stated Resident 28's call light was frayed (damaged) and might not work. CNA 1 stated residents should have undamaged call light to call for help as needed. CNA 1 stated nursing staff should have checked and informed Maintenance. CNA 1 further stated the call light should have been repaired. 2. On July 23, 2024, at 10:34 a.m., during an observation inside of Resident 28's bathroom, the bottom shelf of the cabinet above the sink had orange and brown discoloration. On July 24, 2024, at 3:04 p.m., during a concurrent observation and interview inside Resident 28's bathroom with the MS, the MS stated, the lower shelf is rusted. The MS stated he was responsible for making sure the resident's living areas are kept in good condition. The MS further stated there should not be rust on the shelf. On July 24, 2024, at 3:49 p.m., during a concurrent observation and interview with CNA 1 inside Resident 28's bathroom, CNA 1 stated Resident 28's bathroom cabinet had rust on it. CNA 1 further stated the cabinet should not be in like that and residents should be comfortable and live in a home-like environment. On July 25, 2024, at 5:40 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed.

F 0623 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman, before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to notify the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman (LTC Ombudsman - an agency reponsible for advocating on behalf of residents) of a discharge for one of two residents (Resident 39) reviewed for closed records. This failure had the potential to result in the LTC Ombudsman not to be informed about Resident 39's plan of care and condition. Findings: On July 25, 2024, Resident 39's record was reviewed. Resident 39 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis which included dementia (a group of brain disease that causes loss of memory) and Alzheimer's (a type of dementia). A review of Resident 39's Minimum Data Set (an assessment tool), dated April 5, 2024, indicated, Resident 39 had Brief Interview of Mental Status (quick assessment to check a person's thinking, memory, and overall mental functioning) Score of 5 (severe cognitive impairment). A review of Resident 39's Discharge Summary Report, dated June 3, 2024, indicated, .discharged to Acute Hospital .

The MRD stated there was no record of the LTC Ombudsman receiving a notification letter regarding Resident 39's discharge from the facility. The MRD further stated the LTC Ombudsman should have been notified of Resident 39's discharge. On July 25, 2024, at 1:37 p.m., during an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), she stated the process for transfers or discharges requires the SSD to send the discharge notice to the LTC Ombudsman within 72 hours of discharge or transfer. The DON stated Resident 39 was discharged on June 3, 2024, and the discharge notice was not sent to the LTC Ombudsman.

F 0636 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every 12 months. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the comprehensive assessments for six of 22 sampled residents (Residents 14, 34, 49, 51, 53, and 82) were completed within 14 calendar days after admission. This failure had the potential for residents to not receive resident centered care (care focusing on the needs of individuals) for Residents 14, 34, 49, 51, 53, and 82. Findings: On July 25, 2024, at 11:20 a.m. a concurrent interview and review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool) comprehensive assessments were conducted with the MDS Nurse. The MDS nurse stated comprehensive assessment should be completed within 14 days after admission. The MDS nurse stated, it is important to complete the resident's MDS on time and submit to Center for Medicare Services (CMS - an agency that manages various aspects of healthcare delivery and funding) within 14 days to assess the residents' health status and provide a resident-centered care plan. The MDS nurse stated the comprehensive assessments for Residents 14, 34, 49, 51, 53, and 82 were not completed within 14 days of admission, as required. On July 25, 2024, at 5:38 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). She stated the comprehensive assessment should have been completed within 14 days, and completing them within the timeframe is important to provide a resident centered care plan.

On July 24, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., an interview was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated he administered Resident 10's medications including the Nifedipine ER 20 mg one tablet. LVN 1 stated he checked Resident 1's pulse rate while he was checking the resident's blood pressure. LVN 1 stated he did not get an accurate pulse rate reading because he did not time it. LVN 1 stated he administered Resident 10's Nifedipine ER 20 mg without checking for an accurate pulse rate reading. On July 25, 2024, at 9:20 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON).
