What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 8 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based upon observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to appropriately diagnose and treat a growth on the left side of Resident 29's nose for one out of one sample residents (Resident 29). This failure had the potential to cause an infection and create discomfort for ongoing growth on Resident 29's face. Residents Affected - Some Findings: During a review of Resident 29's, admission Record dated, 6/20/2022, indicated Resident 29's had a history of dementia (a general term for the impaired ability to remember, think or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities) and dry eye syndrome of bilateral lacrimal glands (lacrimal gland doesn't make enough tears, causing the eyes to become dry, sometimes caused by age). During an observation on 4/22/24 at 12:25 p.m., Resident 29 was observed lying in bed, asleep with a large growth on the left side of her nose with three streaks of dried blood on her cheek. During an interview on 4/22/24 at 3:29 pm. with Unlicensed Staff A, Unlicensed Staff A indicated Resident 29 had a tumor which had been consistently growing and staff were told to watch Resident 29 because she would scratch the growth causing it to bleed. During an interview on 4/22/24 at 4:02 p.m., with Licensed Staff B, Licensed Staff B indicated Resident 29 consistently picked at growth on the side of her nose and Licensed Staff B would use saline solution to clean the area and then re-apply a band aide to cover the growth. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/24/24 at 4:06 p.m., with Social Services Director (SSD), SSD indicated part of the role was to arrange for transportation to medical appointment and care planning conferences. Resident 29's, Social Services Progress Note, dated 2/7/24, indicated Resident 29 had a plastic surgeon appointment, it was canceled without communication to the facility. SSD indicated, she was unaware of who made the appointment, but the transportation was arranged and when Resident 29 had arrived, it was determined the appointment was canceled. SSD indicated Resident 29's doctor had indicated Resident should be evaluated by dermatologist, but it was determined Resident 29 would not be further evaluated. Resident 29's, Care Plan Conference dated 3/12/24, indicated Resident 29's overall plan of care was evaluated. SSD indicated Resident 29's growth had started out small, looking like a mole and had progressed to the large growth on the left side of the nose. Resident 29's, Responsible Person (RP) had attended the conference by telephone and did not routinely visit Resident 29 in person. SSD indicated Resident 29's RP had not wanted any further diagnosis or treatment with the growth based upon Resident 29's age and the understanding that Resident 29 was not in any pain regarding the growth. SSD indicated Resident 29's RP had not seen how large the growth has gotten or the issue with Resident 29 scratching her nose, causing the growth to bleed.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some During an interview on 4/25/24 at 10:18 a.m., with Licensed Staff L, Licensed Staff L indicated Resident 29's growth has been getting larger, for example about four to five months ago, it was not as large as it was today. Licensed Staff L indicated that there was old blood type drainage observed around the growth and around the band aide which was visible beyond the band aide but was going to provide any treatment unless Resident 29 would pick at it causing further bleeding. Licensed Staff L indicated the plan was to continue replacing the band aide when soiled and not to pursue any further treatment. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/25/24 at 2:17 p.m., with Licensed Staff N, Licensed Staff N indicated when Resident 29 was first admitted to the facility in 2022, Resident 29's RP had visited her two times a week and has been subsequently the visiting her less and less. Licensed Staff N indicated, Resident 29's growth on the left side of her nose started out looking like a mole and had has been subsequently growing and getting larger and larger approximately over the last year and a half. Licensed Staff N indicated the facility has not been monitoring the growth as there are no measurements with which to reference the starting size with current size. Licensed Staff N indicate Resident 29 with the coordination of the doctor and Resident 29's RP, there was a dermatology (branch of medicine dealing with the skin) appointment made and Resident 29 had attended, Licensed Staff N indicated at the appointment, Resident 29 had become combative and would not let the clinic staff assess the growth and since the appointment the doctor and RP had indicated there was no further treatment to pursue. Licensed Staff N indicated the growth on Resident 29's nose has grown toward the lower eye lid area. Licensed Staff N indicated the growth has been bleeding more and more when Resident 29 would pick at it. Licensed Staff N indicated Resident 29's RP has not seen the growth and not sure when the medical doctor or nurse practitioner had observed the vascularity or the continually bleeding when the growth was touched by Resident 29. Licensed Staff N indicated there were other treatment options potentially available to Resident 29 and confirmed that the Resident 29's RP was not aware of the current size and bleeding nature of the growth and the current treatment option would pose a potential for infection as whatever would be on Resident 29's fingers would gain access to an open wound when the growth was itched or scratched. The INTEGRETY SKIN ASSESSMENT, which were completed weekly, dated 4/15/24, 4/9/24, 4/8/24, 4/1/24 and 3/27/24 were reviewed and indicated Resident 29 had a skin tag indicated on the left side of her nose, with no changes and treatment to continue as indicated. Licensed Nurse N indicated the weekly skin assessments were not documenting the changing size and daily bleeding events of the growth on Resident 29's nose. The Integrity Skin Assessment dated 2/26/24, revealed a skin tear on the elbow but did not indicate a growth on Resident 29's nose and the assessment dated [DATE] did not indicate a growth on the nose either. Licensed Staff N indicated the health care team was not on the same page and per the documentation the accuracy of the monitoring of the skin growth was not reflected as to the current condition. Licensed Staff N indicated the risk to not addressing the growth on Resident 29's nose as a comprehensive health care team would increase the risk of infection and discomfort for Resident 29. During an on 4/26/24 at 11:19 a.m., Director of Nursing (DON), indicated regarding Resident 29's skin growth on the left side of her nose, the medical doctor had been contacted and Resident 29's fingernails needed to be care planned to keep finger nails short and her hands to need to be sanitized to reduce risk of infection. DON indicated, Resident 29's RP had been contacted and wanted to keep the plan of care as per the medical doctor. DON indicated there was a wound care doctor who made on site visits to the facility and Resident 29's growth on her nose would be evaluated to assess treatment options, since the band aide was not working that well. DON indicated she was not aware that the growth was increasing in size toward the lower eyelid of the left eye and that Resident 29's medical doctor (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555207 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 17 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 555207 B.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the RNA (restorative nursing assistant) program (assist the patient in performing tasks that restore or maintain physical function as directed by the established care plan) was being received per physician orders for one of 15 sample residents (Resident 33). This failure resulted in a disruption in treatment and had the potential for Resident 33 to have a decline in range of motion, strength and endurance, an increase in joint pain and depression, and an overall decrease in ADLs (Activities of Daily Living: activities related to personal care, which includes bathing or showering, dressing, getting in and out of bed or a chair, walking, using the toilet, and eating). Findings: A review of Resident 33's admission Record, indicated Resident 33 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis including cerebral infarction (stroke), major depression disorder, hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body), hearing loss, amongst others. A review of Resident 33's Physician Progress Note, dated 1/24/24, indicated Resident 33 had left hemiplegia, and the physician was adding Tylenol to Resident 33's medication list for joint pain. A review of Resident 33's ADL Function and Left-Hand Contracture Management care plan, Focus: decreased functional ability related to CVA (Cerebral Vascular Accident: stroke), decreased/limited ROM (Range of Motion)-left hand/wrist contracture; hemiplegia, initiated 12/19/22 and revision date, 4/5/23. The care plan Interventions/Tasks included: RNA - Transfer Training: from bed to wheelchair with extensive assist, revision on 7/26/23, and Passive Range of Motion (PROM) and stretching to bilateral upper extremities (arms) and Active Range of Motion (AROM) to bilateral lower extremities (legs) ten repetitions (reps) times two sets, revision date, 7/26/23. A review of Resident 33's Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set, a clinical assessment process provides a comprehensive assessment of the resident's functional capabilities and helps staff identify health problems) dated 3/22/24, indicated Resident 33 had a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) score of 12 (resident's mental understanding was moderately impaired), and indicated Resident 33 had functional limitations: impairment of one side: upper/lower extremities, one side. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/22/24 at 10:33 a.m., Resident 33 stated he had left upper and lower extremity paralysis from a stroke, which occurred over a year ago. Resident 33 stated he was supposed to go to the gym twice a week, but promises were not kept all the time. Resident 33's left arm was elevated on a pad, bent at the elbow, while in his wheelchair. Resident 33 had no function of his left upper extremity because of a stroke. Resident 33 stated once he was assisted up from his wheelchair, he could take steps using the parallel bar. Resident 33 stated he felt his paralysis was getting better. A review of Resident 33's physician order, dated 7/20/23, indicated a request for the RNA Program to help maintain functional mobility and muscle strength 3x-5x/week for 90 days. A review of Resident 33's electronic medical record for the RNA task, PROM and stretching to bilateral upper extremities and AROM to bilateral lower extremities ten reps times two, dated 7/1/202 - 8/30/2023, indicated Resident 33 received his ordered exercises on 8/13/23 and 8/17/23 for 15 minutes each day.

Unlicensed Staff O stated she was pulled to be a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) and assigned residents to care for on Monday, 4/22/24. Unlicensed Staff O stated she worked as an RNA twice a week and a CNA twice a week lately. Unlicensed Staff O stated there was another CNA who completed her RNA certification a few months ago but she has only shadowed (trained) with Unlicensed Staff O once because she was always placed on the CNA schedule. Unlicensed Staff O stated the RNA in training that one day was pulled because the CNA from the registry had to leave early. Unlicensed Staff O stated she had 19 residents in the RNA program. Unlicensed Staff O stated she tried to see the residents three days per week for 15 min but the residents should be seen three to five days a week for 15 to 30 min. Unlicensed Staff O stated if the residents refused their scheduled exercises she would document refused. Unlicensed Staff O stated Resident 33 has only been seen twice this month, 4/12/23 & 4/20/23 because the facility has been short staffed, so she was pulled from her duties as an RNA to fill a CNA spot. A review of Unlicensed Staff O's RNA resident assignment dated 4/22/24 (Monday), 4/23/24 (Wednesday), 4/26/24 (Friday) and 4/27/24 (Saturday), indicated Resident 33 was scheduled to be seen on Friday and Saturday for 15 minutes.

Licensed Staff L was observed instructing the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) the appropriate texture for the tray, for example regular, pureed (food served with a pudding like texture, which is smooth and blended). Licensed Staff L was observed repeatedly checking the electronic medical record, waiting for the CNA staff to return and serve another tray. At one point, a CNA called out the resident's name and Licensed Staff L indicated the texture of the tray and CNA then delivered the tray to the resident. Licensed Staff L did not open the covered meals to view the dietary texture, only the meal tray cards were reviewed against the dietary orders in the electronic medical record. During an interview on 4/22/24 at 12:54 pm., with Licensed Staff L, Licensed Staff L indicated the process for checking meal trays prior to serving the residents was to review the dietary orders in the electronic medical record against the meal tray cards on each resident's tray prior to serving the resident. Licensed Staff L indicated the meals were not uncovered because it would mean the food might be touched. Licensed Staff L indicated he was new but had been working as a licensed staff member for a long time. Licensed Staff L agreed that the process of checking meal trays prior to serving the residents was common practice and not new to this particular facility. Licensed Staff L indicated the reason behind checking the trays was to ensure the consistency was appropriate and the resident would not choke on food which had not been prepared appropriately or aspirate (when food or liquid enters a persons airway and lungs). During a observation on 4/23/24 at 12:31 p.m., the lunch cart had been delivered and Unlicensed Staff Q was observed looking for licensed staff to check the trays. Unlicensed Staff Q indicated Licensed Staff L was at lunch and not available to check the lunch trays. A student was observed to walk up to the lunch cart and proceed to pull out a lunch tray and deliver to a resident. Unlicensed Staff Q was observed to deliver a lunch tray a resident. At 12:32 pm., Licensed Staff L was observed to be rushing onto the unit and indicating out loud that he was late for checking the trays and asked why Unlicensed Staff Q had not gone to get him. Unlicensed Staff Q did not respond to the question but gave a quizzical look. During an interview on 4/25/24 at 2:17 p.m., with Licensed Staff N, Licensed Staff N indicated as part of the role, there would be training with new licensed nurses but in terms of documentation, where and how to document. During an interview on 4/26/24 at 11:00 a.m., with Director of Nursing (DON), DON indicated the role of the licensed staff was to check the meal trays for appropriate consistency against the doctor order to ensure the meal card matched the consistency of the food being served. DON indicated when a new licensed staff person has been hired, there was no formal documentation regarding how to perform the task.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and records review, the facility failed to: Residents Affected - Many 1) ensure hand hygiene was practiced by six (6) of 15 sampled residents (Resident 3, Resident 16, Resident 9, Resident 22, Resident 1, Resident 24) before meals. This failure had the potential to cause the spread of infections to other residents and worsen their already compromised health or cause an outbreak; 2) conduct ongoing analysis of infection surveillance. This failure had the potential to result in the facility missing to identify trends in infection types and occurrence and not being able to detect where an infection came from or the presence of an increasing number of infection or an outbreak; 3) ensure physician's orders were being followed when one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 34), who was on oxygen, nasal cannula (a device that delivers extra oxygen through a tube and into your nose) and oxygen humidifier (plastic bottle filled with distilled water that adds moisture to the oxygen being delivered to prevent dryness of the nasal cavity) was not being changed weekly. This failure had potential for the plastic to deteriorate over time leading to tiny cracks and pores in the plastic tubing to occur. In these tiny cracks and pores, bacteria and mold could start to breed, and dirt, dust, and other small irritants, which could lead to lung infections. Findings: 1. During an observation on 4/22/24, at 12:17 PM, Licensed Staff C served Resident 16's meal tray in her room and asked Resident 16 if she would like to eat her lunch.

Residents Affected - Many A review of Resident 34's Order Summary Report, dated 4/26/24, indicated Resident 34 to be placed on oxygen (O2) at two liters (L) to five liters per minute via nasal cannula continuously to keep O2 saturation (the amount of oxygen circulating in one's blood) level greater than 90 percent, start date 1/22/24 and change O2 humidifier and nasal cannula every five days and as needed, start date 1/17/24. During an observation on 4/22/24 at 10:12 a.m., Resident 34 was on O2 at 2L/min per nasal cannula and had a humidifier, with adequate water level. The nasal cannula tubing and humidifier were not dated to show when they were last changed. A review of Resident 34's care plan indicated Resident 34 was admitted to Hospice (focuses on the care, comfort, and quality of life of a person with a serious illness who is approaching the end of life), initiated 1/18/24. Focus was to apply O2 at two to five liters per minute via nasal cannula as needed for O2 saturation level 90% or greater. A review of Resident 34's Treatment Administration Record (TAR), dated 1/2024, 2/2024, 3/2024, and 4/2024, indicated Resident 34's O2 nasal cannula and humidifier were to be changed every five days and as need.
