F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop specific and resident-centered care plans (CP) for three of three sampled residents (Residents 1, 2, and 3). These deficient practices had the potential for Residents 1, 2, and 3 to not receive appropriate care, treatment, and/or services related to their needs.Findings: a. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 1 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hypertensive heart disease (high blood pressure [HTN] damaged the heart over time) and generalized muscle weakness. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 12/18/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had moderate cognitive (ability to understand) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required supervision from staff with eating and oral hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required maximal assistance (helper did more than half the effort) from staff with toileting hygiene and toileting transferring. During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report (OSR), with active orders as of 12/22/2025, the OSR indicated a physician's order for licensed staff to administer losartan (medication to treat HTN) daily starting on 12/13/2025. The OSR indicated a diet order of no added salt (NAS) with mechanical soft texture (a diet that included foods softened by cooking, chopping, or mashing) and thin liquids consistency (a liquid consistency that flowed easily like water and did not require chewing), starting on 12/13/2025. During a concurrent record review and interview with the facility's Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN) on 12/23/2025 at 12:56 PM, Resident 1's CP for hypertensive heart disease, revised on 12/22/2025 was reviewed. The CP indicated staff were to maintain optimum quality of life for Resident 1. The CP interventions indicated staff were to administer medication and diet as ordered. The IPN stated the CP was not specific and should have included the medication name. b. During a review of Resident 2's AR, the AR indicated Resident 2 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including pneumonia (an infection in the lungs), sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, stomach acid goes back up ). During a review of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P) dated 10/26/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 2 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 2's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 2 had intact cognition (ability to think and reason). The MDS indicated Resident 2 required supervision from staff for eating. The MDS indicated Resident 2 required partial assistance (helper did less than half the effort) from staff for oral hygiene, personal hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering, bed-to-chair transferring, and walking. During a review of Resident 2's OSR with active orders as of 12/22/2025, the OSR indicated a physician's order for licensed staff to administer famotidine (medication for GERD) 20 milligrams (mg- unit of measurement) daily for GERD starting on 10/25/2025. The OSR indicated a regular diet order with double portion and no added salt starting on 10/29/2025. The OSR did not indicate an order for antibiotic (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 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some (medication to treat infection) medication. During a concurrent record review and interview with the facility's IPN on 12/23/2025 at 12:56 PM, Resident 2's CP for GERD revised on 11/3/2025 was reviewed. The CP intervention indicated staff were to provide diet as ordered and administer medication as ordered. The IPN stated the CP was not specific because the medication was not listed. During a concurrent record review and interview with the facility's IPN on 12/23/2025 at 12:56 PM, Resident 2's CP for sepsis related to pneumonia revised on 11/3/2025 was reviewed. The CP goal indicated that sepsis would be resolved after antibiotic therapy. The CP intervention indicated staff were to administer antibiotic medication as ordered. The IPN stated the CP was not specific. The IPN stated the CP was not updated and should have been discontinued because Resident 2 did not have active pneumonia nor ongoing antibiotic treatment at this time. The IPN stated the licensed nurse who administered the last dose of the antibiotic should have discontinued the CP. The IPN stated if a medication changed or was discontinued, the CP should have been updated. The IPN stated the risk of not updating CP included medication errors and negative effects on the residents' care. The IPN stated it was not acceptable to have a CP that was outdated, did not reflect changes based on the resident's current condition or did not meet the resident's needs. c.

During a concurrent record review and interview with the facility's the IPN on 12/23/2025 at 12:56 PM, Resident 3's CP for dyspepsia and GI distress revised on 11/13/2025 was reviewed. The CP intervention indicated staff were to provide diet as ordered, administer medication as ordered, and frequently check for re-assurance. The IPN stated the CP was not specific and should have included the specific medication for Resident 3. The IPN stated the purpose of the CP was to provide staff with knowledge on care and specific interventions to address the needs of the residents. The IPN stated the CP served as a guideline for nurses to follow and helped ensure quality care. The IPN stated the CP needed to be resident-centered because each resident had different goals, needs, and specific interventions. The IPN stated the licensed nurse should initiate and complete the CP. During an interview with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/23/2025 at 2:01 PM, the DON stated the purpose of the CP was to identify the interventions for each resident and determine if those interventions were working. The DON stated the CP should be specific and resident-centered to meet professional standards and ensure quality of care. The DON stated the CP should be individualized based on the residents' needs. The DON stated if there was a change in condition, a medication was resolved, or problems were addressed, the CP should be revised the same day.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow the physician's order for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) when the licensed nurse did not take Resident 1's heart rate prior to administration of losartan (medication for high blood pressure) as ordered, from 12/13/2025 to 12/22/2025. These violations had the potential to compromise Resident 1's health and safety.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 1 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hypertensive heart disease (high blood pressure [HTN] damaged the heart over time) and generalized muscle weakness.

The IPN stated carrying out the physician order meant to do the action as ordered. The IPN stated that when the physician ordered to hold losartan for heart rate of less than 60 BPM, the licensed nurse should check the resident's heart rate prior to the medication administration and document the readings on the EMAR. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/23/2025 at 12:56 PM. with the IPN, Resident 1's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 12/13/2025 to 12/22/2025 was reviewed.
