Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the Notice of Medicare Non Coverage
(NOMNC, a standardized form provided by Medicare to Medicare beneficiaries when their covered
service(s) are ending) and the Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN, a written notice from a Medicare provider
that informs a patient that Medicare may not pay for a service or item, allowing the patient to decide
whether to receive the service and pay out-of-pocket) were issued within 48 hours of anticipated Medicare
non- coverage for one out of three sampled residents (Resident 1).This failure has the potential to impede
the resident's right to appeal for continued Medicare coverage and the potential for the resident to incur
unanticipated financial burden.Findings:A review of Resident 1's NOMNC and ABN indicated the Medicare
last covered day (LCD, last day to receive inpatient or skilled care for which Medicare will pay) of 8/20/25
and signed by Resident 1 on 8/19/25During a concurrent interview and record review with the Social
Services Director (SSD) on 8/27/2025 at 9:42 AM, Resident 1's NOMNC and ABN were reviewed. The SSD
verified Resident 1s Medicare LCD was on 8/20/25 and the NOMNC and ABN were issued on 8/19/25. The
SSD stated it was important to issue these notices timely to ensure residents have time to appeal and was
aware of whether they had any financial responsibility to the facility. During a concurrent interview and
record review on 8/27/2025 at 9:49 AM, with the Administrator Assistant (AA), Resident 1's NOMNC and
ABN were reviewed. The AA verified Resident 1s NOMNC and ABN were issued and signed on 8/19/25.
The AA stated the NOMNC and the ABN should be issued within 48 hours of the LCD. The AA stated that
NOMNC and ABN for Resident 1 was issued late and did not meet this requirement. The facility policy for
NOMNC and ABN was requested but was not provided. A review of the Form Instructions for the Notice of
Medicare Non Coverage (NOMNC) CMS 10095 indicated, Medicare health provider must give in advance
completed copy of the NOMNC to enrollees receiving skilled nursing.no later than two days before the
termination of services. A review of the Form Instructions Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non Coverage
(ABN) OMB Approval Number: 0938-0566 indicated, . the ABN must be delivered far enough in advance
that the beneficiary or the representative has time to consider the option and make an informed choice.

Provide the required documentation or notification related to the resident's needs, appeal rights, or
bed-hold policies.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents transferred or discharged from
the facility were provided with the required transfer and bed hold notices for one resident (Resident 37) and
that a copy of the notice was provided to the Ombudsman for two residents (Resident 39 and Resident 37)
out of two sampled residents, when:1.The Ombudsman (an advocate for residents in nursing homes
addressing issues related to care, safety, and residents' rights) was not provided a copy of the notice of
transfer and discharge for Resident 39 when discharged from the facility; and, 2. The required transfer and
bed hold notice was not provided to Resident 37 or a copy provided to the Ombudsman when transferred to
the hospital.These failures placed the residents at risk for an unsafe discharge or transfer and denied the
residents or resident's responsible party, the ability to access advocacy and appeal options before the
discharge or transfer. Findings:
1. A review of Resident 39 face sheet (front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information
about the resident) indicated an admission date June 2025.
A review of Resident 39's Notice of Transfer and Discharge form indicated she was discharged to home on
6/22/25.
During an interview on 8/26/2025 at 10:19 AM, the Social Services Assistant (SSA) stated the facility policy
was to ensure the Ombudsman was notified whenever a resident was discharged from the facility. The SSA
stated the facility normally faxes a copy of the notice of transfer and discharge to the Ombudsman. The
SSA stated if she could not find the fax confirmation sheet, it meant the notice was not sent to the
Ombudsman. The SSA stated it was important that the Ombudsman was notified of a resident's discharge
or transfers to ensure safety and continuity of care.
During an interview on 8/26/2025 at 11:14 AM, the Administrator Assistant (AA) stated the facility's policy
was to ensure the Ombudsman was notified whenever a resident was discharged from the facility. The AA
stated it was important the ombudsman was notified of a resident's discharge from the facility to ensure the
residents were protected from inappropriate discharge and to provide them with an advocate to inform them
of their rights and options.
During an interview on 8/27/2025 at 11:15 AM, the SSA verified she could not find the fax confirmation or
documentation that would indicate the Ombudsman was notified when Resident 39 was discharged from
the facility.
A review of the All Facilities Letter (AFL) 25-17, dated 5/28/25, indicated, . pursuant to Title 42 CFR section
483.15(c)(3)?, before a SNF transfers or discharges a resident, the SNF must.Send a copy of the notice of
transfer or discharge to the representative of the Office of the State Long-Term Care (LTC) Ombudsman .
2. A review of Resident 37's admission Record indicated Resident 37 was admitted to the facility in July
2025 with diagnoses which included intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) with left-sided
weakness and transferred to the emergency room on 7/29/25.
During a review of Resident 37's Progress Notes, dated 7/29/25 at 10:13 a.m., the note indicated Resident
37 had a change of condition which included increased confusion and difficulty swallowing. The licensed
nurse (LN) documented notification of Resident 37's change of condition to the Medical

Director (MD), who ordered to send Resident 37 to the Hospital's Emergency Department (ED) for further
evaluation. The note also indicated Resident 37's Responsible Party (RP) was aware.
During a record review of Resident 37's medical records, there was no documented evidence the facility
provided Resident 37 or their RP with a Notice of Transfer and Discharge form which would have included
notification of resident's right to hold bed (a period of time where the facility reserves the resident's bed
while they are away for short-term hospitalization) or that the Ombudsman was notified when Resident 37
was transferred to the ED on 7/29/25.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/27/25 at 4:06 p.m. with the SSA, the SSA confirmed
the Notice of Transfer and Discharge and the Notification of Resident's Right to Hold Bed had not been
provided to Resident 37, Resident 37's RP or the Ombudsman. The SSA acknowledged the form was

Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being
admitted
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the baseline care plan (BCP, a document created
within 48 hours of a resident's admission to a nursing home, outlining the initial care needed to ensure
residents' safety and well-being, focusing on basic needs and resident-specific information) was:1.
completed timely for one out of two sampled residents (Resident 9), and2. the BCP summary was provided
to the resident and or the responsible party (RP, a person who is designated in making decisions about
health care and financial matters) for two out of two sampled residents (Residents 9 and 34).These failures
have the potential to compromise patient safety, hinder effective staff communication, and lead to adverse
events during the initial days of admission. Findings:1. A review of Resident 9's face sheet indicated
Resident 9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].A review of Resident 9's BCP/BCP summary indicated the
rehabilitation and nursing departments did not complete Resident 9's BCP until 6/24/25. Resident 9's BCP
summary did not indicate it was provided to Resident 9 or their RP.A review of Resident 34's face sheet
indicated Resident 34 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A review of Resident 34's BCP/BCP summary
indicated the BCP summary was not provided to Resident 34 or their RP.During a concurrent interview and
record review on 08/26/2025 at 5:07 p.m., with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Residents 9's and
Resident 34's BCP/BCP summariy were reviewed. The ADON acknowledged she was not aware exactly
what the time frame was of when a BCP should be completed. The ADON verified the BCP summary was
not given to either Resident 9 or Resident 34. The ADON verified Rehabilitation and Nursing department
completed Resident 9's BCP on 6/24/25. The ADON stated it was important to ensure BCPs are completed
timely and the BCP summary was provided to the resident or their RP.During an interview on 08/26/2025 at
5:23 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the facility policy was to complete the BCP within 48 hours
of admission and to provide the BCP summary to the resident or RP. The DON stated if a BCP was
completed 48 hours after a resident was admitted and a BCP summary was not provided to the resident or
RP, it meant the facility policy was not followed. The DON stated it was important to ensure BCPs were
completed within 48 hours of admission and BCP summary was provided to the resident and RP to ensure
staff was providing safe and quality care to the residents.A review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P)

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to identify and provide the needed care and
service in accordance with the professional standards of practice to preserve the skin integrity and prevent
the development of wounds for one out of four sampled residents (Resident 9), when Resident 9 acquired a
wound while residing in the facility .This failure resulted in Resident 9 experiencing discomfort related to the
acquired wound. Findings:A review of Resident 9's face sheet (front page of the chart that contains a
summary of basic information about the resident) indicated an admission date in June 2025 with a
diagnosis of Adult Failure to Thrive (AFTT, a condition characterized by significant unintentional weight loss,
muscle loss and decreased activity levels in older adults), and edema (swelling due to fluid retention).A
review of Resident 9's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool used by facilities to
screen and identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the resident), dated 6/20/25, indicated
Resident 9 had intact cognition (a person has healthy mental functions, including sufficient judgment,
memory, planning, and problem-solving abilities to manage daily life). A review of Resident 9's Minimum
Data Set assessment (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 6/20/25, indicated
Resident 9 required moderate assistance (a helper provides less than half the effort required to complete
an activity) with putting on and taking off shoes. The MDS also indicated Resident 9 did not have any open
lesions (wounds) on the feet nor were there any applications of dressings or topical medications.A review of
Resident 9's Nursing Baseline Assessment Integumentary System [the protective, outermost layer of the
body, consisting of the skin, hair, nails, and glands], dated 6/16/25, indicated Resident 9's skin was clean
dry and intact (CDI) with no redness or open areas noted.A review of Resident 9's skin integrity
assessments, dated 6/24/25, 7/1/25, 7/8/25, 7/10/25, 7/22/25, 7/25/25, 7/26/25, 8/5/25, and 8/12/25,
indicated Resident 9 had no skin issues. A review of Resident 9's Integrity skin assessment, dated 8/19/25,
indicated a new skin issue: left heel open wound measuring three centimeters (cm, a measure of length) by
three cm.A review of Resident 9's care plan (a detailed, written document that outlines a resident's
individual needs, goals, and how their care will be managed) titled, Risk for Skin Integrity Risk Factors,
initiated 6/29/25, did not show any interventions specific to address the risk of Resident 9
acquiring/reopening a wound on her left heel.A review of Resident 9's CP titled Risk for Skin Integrity Risk
Factors, dated 8/19/25, indicated Resident 9 had a wound on her left heel measuring three cm of length by
three cm with clear drainage (a fluid that leaks from a wound).A review of Resident 9's Surgical and Wound
Care initial note, dated 8/25/25, indicated Resident 9 had a full thickness (wound that extends through all
layers of the skin- fat, muscle, or even to bone beneath the skin) traumatic wound (a physical injury to the
skin and underlying tissues caused by an external force, such as a cut) with slough (a layer of non-viable or
dead tissue in the wound bed) on posterior (further back in position) left heel. The initial note also indicated
the physician believed the traumatic injury was from Resident 9's shoes. During a concurrent observation
and interview on 08/25/2025 at 2:51 PM, Resident 9 was wearing shoes that had a low heel counter (a
semi-rigid or firm insert in the back of a shoe, usually made of plastic or cardboard) that touched her left
heel which was covered with a wound dressing ( sterile pad or covering applied directly to a wound to
protect it, promote healing, control bleeding, and absorb fluids). Resident 9 stated the shoes she was
wearing had been the ones she had been wearing since she was admitted to the facility. Resident 9 stated
the shoes created friction on her left heel which hurt. Resident 9 verified she previously had a wound on her
left heel that had healed, she did not have the wound when she was admitted to the facility, and now has a

wound on her left heel. Resident 9 stated she continued to wear the shoes since no one at the facility told
her not to. During an interview on 08/26/25 at 2:30 PM, Licensed Nurse (LN) B stated Resident 9 did not
have an open wound on her left heel when she was admitted at the facility and it was acquired while she
resided at the facility. LN B stated the wound doctor indicated the left heel wound was from Resident 9's
shoes that Resident 9 had been wearing since admission. LN B stated staff had noticed Resident 9's
footwear heel counter was creating friction on her heels and confirmed Resident 9's left heel wound could
have been avoided if Resident 9 switched footwear to one that would have no contact with her heels. During
a concurrent interview and record review on 08/28/2025 at 09:23 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 9's baseline skin assessment, dated 6/16/25, Resident 9's skin integrity assessments, with dates
from 6/24/25 to 8/19/25, and Resident 9's skin At Risk Care Plan, dated 6/29/25, were reviewed. The DON
verified the baseline skin assessment dated [DATE], and the skin integrity assessments from 6/24/25
through 8/12/25 all indicated Resident 9 had no skin issues. The DON verified the left heel open wound
measuring three cm by three cm was noted on Resident 9's skin integrity assessment dated [DATE]. The
DON Resident 9 had acquired the wound while in the facility from the shoes Resident 9 was wearing. The
DON verified Resident 9's skin at risk CP also had no interventions to address the risk of Resident 9
reopening the wound on her left heel. The DON stated there was a high incidence of Resident 9 reopening
the wound on her left heel because the new scar tissue was weaker and less elastic than the original,
undamaged skin tissue. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Prevention of Pressure
Injuries, revised 4/2025, the P&P indicated, . the purpose of this procedure is to provide information
regarding identification of pressure injury risk factors and interventions for specific risk factors.review
residents care plan and identify the risk factors as well as the interventions designed to reduce or eliminate
those considered modifiable.keep the skin clean and hydrated.do not rub or otherwise cause friction on skin

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure adequate supervision was
provided for one resident (Resident 2) out of 15 sampled residents during a lunch meal.This failure resulted
in Resident 2's delayed evaluation and treatment of respiratory distress and an increased risk for aspiration
(accidental inhalation of foreign material into the lungs, such as food or liquid).Findings:A review of
Resident 2's admission Record indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in February 2021 with
diagnoses which included acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (a life-threatening condition where the lungs
fail to adequately exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, resulting in low blood oxygen levels) and
dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).A review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report (OSR, physician orders)
indicated the following orders:1. Aspiration precautions: Upright positioning as close as possible to a
90-degree angle, flex the head to a neutral or slightly downward position, avoid rushed or forced feeding.
Inspection of the oral cavity for residual food or liquid after swallowing, dated 8/5/22.2. Monitor for aspiration
precautions, dated 12/5/23.3. Monitor for shortness of breath, for aspiration precautions, dated 12/15/25.4.
To be up on a chair or 90 degrees for all meals, for aspiration precautions, dated 2/25/25.A review of
Resident 2's Care Plan Report indicated the following risks and interventions:1. Meal trays set up,
encouragement to feed self and supervision during meals, dated 2/15/21.2. History of dysphagia, choking
and aspiration:a. Keep head of bed elevated at all meals and sit up at all meals, dated 3/2/31.b. Monitor for
aspirations, every meal, dated 10/25/23.c. Monitor/Observe aspiration precautions, dated 10/30/23.3.
History of choking: Sit up for meals, check during meal for signs of choking, to be up on a chair or 90
degrees for all meals, dated 7/14/21.During a dining observation on 8/25/25 at 12:32 p.m., in the social
dining room, during lunch time, approximately six residents were seated at the dining table, unsupervised
by staff. Resident 2 was observed in a wheelchair at the dining table in a hunched posture and was picking
and poking the meal with a fork.During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/25/25 at 12:40 p.m.
Resident 2 pushed away from the dining table drooling, coughing and hunched over. After a coughing
episode Resident 2 was able to respond and stated, I can't breathe.During a concurrent observation and
interview on 8/25/25 at 12:45 p.m. the surveyor alerted Licensed Nurse (LN B) who was seated at the
nursing station of Resident 2's respiratory distress. LN B entered the dining area, acknowledged residents
were not adequately supervised and a staff member should provide supervision during mealtimes. LN B
approached Resident 2 and removed the resident from the dining area. During a concurrent observation
and interview on 8/25/25 at 12:53 p.m. the Activity Director (AD) entered the dining room and sat down
away from the dining table. The AD stated the activity staff provided supervision in the social dining area.
The AD acknowledged the importance of adequate supervision during mealtimes, in case a resident had
an emergency and needed assistance.During an interview on 8/28/25 at 9:17 a.m. with the Director of Staff
Development (DSD) the DSD confirmed facility staff should provide adequate supervision for residents who
eat in the social dining area. The DSD confirmed the lack of supervision in the dining room was a safety
concern and stated he was unaware if the facility had a policy and procedure for the supervision of
residents during mealtimes.During an interview on 8/28/25 at 12:56 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON)
the DON confirmed residents in social dining should be supervised by facility staff to ensure resident safety
during mealtimes.During an interview on 8/28/2025 at 1:37 p.m. the facility's policy and procedure (P&P)
regarding resident safety and supervision during mealtimes was requested from the DON, Administrator
Assistant (AA) and Medical Record Director (MRD). The facility was unable to provide the requested P&P.A

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure pain was managed for
one out of four sampled residents (Resident 1) when:1.Resident 1 continued to receive a narcotic
medication that was ordered on as needed basis (PRN), almost daily and as much as twice a day without
reevaluation from the nursing staff and the physician,2. Using a number pain scale (a tool used by
healthcare providers to measure the intensity of a resident's pain. The Resident rates their pain on a scale
of 0 to 10, where 0 means no pain and 10 means the worst pain imaginable) Resident 1 complained of a
pain level (PL) consistent with moderate pain (PL 4-6) to severe pain (PL 7-10) despite current pain
regimen,3.there were no nonpharmacological interventions (NPI, a health or therapeutic approach that
doesn't involve medications or drugs) included to help alleviate Resident 1's pain, andThese failures
resulted in Resident 1 feeling depressed, helpless, and stated being in constant pain. It also put Resident 1
at risk for functional impairment, social impairment and decreased quality of life.Findings:A review of
Resident 1's face sheet (front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the
resident) indicated an admission date of 6/2025 with a diagnosis of pain disorder with related psychological
factors (a chronic pain condition where psychological factors like stress, anxiety, or depression are judged
to be the major cause of the pain) and anxiety disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by feelings
of worry or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities). A review of Resident 1's
Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 6/30/25,
section J Pain indicated Resident 1 was almost constantly in pain, affecting sleep, therapy, and day to day
activities. A review of Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool used by
facilities to screen and identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the resident), dated 8/20/25,
Resident 1 had a score of 13 out of 15 indicating intact cognition (a person has healthy mental functions,
including sufficient judgment, memory, planning, and problem-solving abilities to manage daily life). A
review of Resident 1's Pain Assessment, Resident Interview, dated 8/20/25, indicated Resident 1 reported
pain frequently, pain interfering with therapy activities and described a PL of 8 out of 10. The assessment
also indicated Resident 1 complained of pain in her lower right leg. A review of Resident 1's electronic
medication administration record (EMAR, a digital system used to track and document the administration of
medications, ensuring accuracy and timeliness in medication delivery), for August 2025, indicated orders
for:1. an external lidocaine (medication that numbs in a certain area) pain patch topically daily, site not
indicated,2. acetaminophen (pain relievers) 650 milligrams (mg, unit of measure) three times daily and
every 6 hours as needed (PRN) for pain management and3. an opioid analgesic concentrated solution 20
mg/milliliters (ml, unit of volume, in liquid) 0.5 ml by mouth every 6 hours PRN for pain management.a.
Resident 1 was receiving this medication almost daily and often as much as twice a day. Resident 1's
EMAR, for August 2025, further indicated Resident 1 complained of a PL of 8on dates 8/6/25, 8/8/25,
8/13/25, 8/15/25, 8/16/25, 8/23/25, 8/24/25, 8/26/25 and a PL of 9 on 8/16/25.During a concurrent
observation and interview on 08/25/2025 at 11:05 AM, Resident 1 was in bed, grimacing. Resident 1 was
complaining of pain in her back, knees and legs. Resident 1 stated her pain was currently at PL 8. Resident
1 stated her current pain medications were not enough to control her pain. Resident 1 stated she felt
helpless at times, especially when she was in pain. During an observation on 08/28/2025 at 08:13 AM,
Resident 1 was lying in bed and stated she was in pain, with a PL 9. Resident 1 stated she had not
received her pain medications yet. Resident 1 stated she had pain in her back and both of her knees and
legs. Resident 1 stated she gets a patch on her back, which helps a little with her back pain. Resident 1
stated the pain in her knees and legs

started right after she fell over a week ago and since has asked if she could also have a patch for both of
her knees and legs. Resident 1 stated staff have not responded to her about that request yet. Resident 1
stated she was in constant pain she just wanted to make sure she could have medications that could help
manage her pain better. Resident 1 stated her current pain medications were not effective as she was still
mostly in pain.During an interview on 08/28/2025 at 08:18 AM, Licensed Nurse (LN) A stated
acetaminophen was typically only effective to treat mild pain (PL 1 to 3). LN A stated when a resident was
on a narcotic as needed, but the resident continued to receive it almost daily, the staff should reassess the
resident's pain, as this may warrant the physician to reevaluate the current pain regimen. LN A stated if pain
management was ineffective, it could result in residents feeling depressed, frustrated and anxious. During a
concurrent interview and concurrent record review, on 08/28/2025 at 09:23 AM, with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 1's EMAR, for August 2025, was reviewed. The DON verified Resident 1 was receiving the
PRN opioid analgesic almost daily, as much as twice a day. The DON stated since Resident 1 was receiving
the PRN opioid analgesic daily, the nurses should have reached out to the physician to reevaluate the
current pain regimen. The DON stated Resident 1's pain was probably the reason why Resident 1 stayed in
bed and not participate in therapy/activities. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled
Pain-Clinical Protocol, revised 10/2022, the P&P indicated, . the physician will order appropriate NPI and
medication interventions to address the individuals pain.staff will provide the elements of comforting
environment and appropriate physical and complementary interventions; for example local heat or ice,
repositioning, massage or opportunity to talk about chronic pain.if there are more than occasional analgesic
request, the physician will consider changing to regular administration of at least one analgesic with
another medication for PRN use, increasing the standing dose [a prescribed dose of medication that
remains the same until changed] of an existing analgesic, switching to another analgesic and or adding
nonpharmacologic measures.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
Based on observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure:1. licensed nurses (LNs)
and the Certified Nursing Aides (CNAs) were provided annual skills competency assessments (a process
of evaluating an individual's knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors against the requirements for a
specific job or role to identify proficiency levels and potential skill gaps).2.staff were aware of Trauma
Informed Care (TIC, an approach to delivering care that involves understanding, recognizing and
responding to the effects of all types of traumas).These failures have the potential to decrease the quality of
care, for all residents of the facility, provided by staff who may not possess the skills and training
necessary.Findings:1.During an interview on 8/27/2025 at 10:42 a.m., The Director of Staff Development
(DSD) verified he was responsible for completing the annual skills competency assessment for both the
LNs and the CNAs. The DSD stated there were no annual skills competency assessments being done for
either the CNAs and the LNs for years now. The DSD stated the last annual skills competency for the LNs
and the CNAs was done as far back as 2022. The DSD stated doing the annual skill competency
assessment for the LNs and the CNAs was a huge issue as the facility had no skills laboratory and had no
space nor resources to use when teaching the LNs or the CNAs. The DSD stated he had been the DSD at
the facility for 2 years and had never done any annual skills competency assessments for the LNs and the
CNAs. The DSD stated it was important to have annual competency for LNs and CNAs to be able to ensure
they can care for the patients safely.During an interview on 8/27/2025 at 11:03 a.m., the Director of Nursing
(DON) stated she was not aware the annual skills competency assessments were not being done by the
DSD for the LNs and CNAs as far back as 2022. The DON stated the skills competency assessments for
LNs and CNAs should be done annually to ensure the facility staff had the skill set to care for the residents
safely. The DON stated not having the LNs and CNAs skills competency assessment done annually put the
residents at risk for injury, trauma and accidents.During an interview on 08/27/2025 at 11:18 a.m., the
Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated the last time she had a LN annual skills competency
assessment was about 2022. The ADON stated it was important to ensure the LNs and CNAs have annual
skills competency assessments to ensure they have the necessary skills to care for the residents
safely.During an interview on 8/27/2025 at 12:31 a.m., Unlicensed Staff C verified she had not received the
CNAs annual skill competency assessment for years and added, she believed the last CNA annual skills
competency assessment she had done was in 2022.A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P)
titled [facility name] Nursing Home (PNH) Staffing, Sufficient and Competent Nursing, updated 8/18/25, the
P&P indicated, .competency is a measurable pattern of knowledge, skills, abilities behaviors and other
characteristics that an individual needs to perform work roles or occupational functions successfully.all
nursing staff must meet the specific competency requirements of their respective licensure and certification
requirements as defined by state law.LNs and CNAs are trained and must demonstrate competency in
identifying, documenting and reporting resident changes of condition.competency requirements and
trainings for nursing staff are established and monitored by nursing leadership with input from medical
director.2. During an interview on 08/27/2025 at 11:27 a.m., the DSD stated the facility admits residents
with behavioral issues. The DSD was not aware of what TIC was and stated he had not given an in-service
to staff about TIC at all. The DSD stated it was important for the staff to know about TIC to ensure they
knew how to interact and provide care for residents that have psychological trauma.During a concurrent
interview and record review on 08/27/2025 at 12:15 p.m., with the DON, the Facility Assessment tool (a

resources-including staff, training, and equipment-to competently care for the facility's unique resident
population), dated 8/2025, was reviewed. The DON verified that the facility assessment tool indicated the
facility admits residents with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD, an anxiety problem after seeing or
having a traumatic event), and that one of the competencies the facility oversees was caring for residents
with mental, psychosocial disorder and PTSD. The DON stated she was not aware of what TIC was and
had not received an in-service about it. The DON stated learning about TIC was important so that staff were
aware of how to interact and care for residents with trauma, PTSD and behavioral issues. The DON stated it
was also important to learn about TIC to ensure staff were aware of how to prevent triggering residents with
PTSD and behavioral issues.During an interview on 08/27/2025 at 12:31 PM, Unlicensed Staff C stated
she did not receive in-service on TIC and she was not aware of what TIC was. During an interview on

really knew what TIC was about.A review of the Facility Assessment Tool dated 8/25, it indicated.a list of
some of the competencies we oversee, but not limited to: Caring for residents with mental and psychosocial
disorders, as well as residents with history of trauma and/or PTSD, and implementing nonpharmacological
interventions [treatments and preventative methods that do not involve medication to treat or manage
health problems, reduce pain, or improve quality of life].

Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on
a full time basis.
Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure:1.the facility has a Registered Nurse
(RN) providing services at least eight consecutive hours a day, seven days a week.2.the facility staffing
policy and procedure reflects the current requirement.These failures could lead to delayed provision of
advanced care, for all residents of the facility, such as resident assessments, evaluating plans of care and
may put residents at risk for inadequate medical care.Findings:A review of the Payroll Based Journal (PBJ,
a quarterly, auditable submission of direct care staffing data that nursing homes must provide to the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS- a federal agency that administers major health coverage
programs]) indicated the facility did not have an RN coverage for 8 consecutive hours seven days a week in
the first quarter on dates: 1/4/25, 1/18/25, 1/25/25, 2/15/25, 2/22/25, 2/23/25, 3/8/25 and 3/22/25.A review
of the facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled [Facility name] Nursing Home (PNH) Staffing, Sufficient and
Competent Nursing, the P&P indicated, . a licensed nurse may be an RN or an LVN.a licensed nurse
provides services at least eight consecutive hours every 24, seven days a week .During a concurrent
interview and record review on 08/28/2025 at 11:23a.m., with the DON, the facility policy and procedure
(P&P) titled [facility name] Nursing Home (PNH) Staffing, Sufficient and Competent Nursing, updated
8/18/25, was reviewed. The Director of Nursing (DON) stated their staffing policy did not reflect the current
regulation where it specified an RN was needed to be on duty eight consecutive hours a day seven days a
week. The DON verified there were no RN present at the facility on these dates: 1/4/25, 1/18/25, 1/25/25,
2/15/25, 2/22/25, 2/23/25, 3/8/25 and 3/22/25. The DON stated it was important to have an RN coverage for
eight consecutive hours seven days a week because Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) could not assess
residents and could not administer intravenous (IV, given directly into the blood stream) medications. The
DON stated RNs have more autonomy and could manage more unstable or high-risk patients. A review of
the Quality and Safety Oversight (QSO, a formal document, from the Quality, Safety & Oversight Group,
that communicates specific regulatory requirements, guidelines, or important information to Medicare and
Medicaid-certified providers and suppliers.) 25-14-NH, dated 3/10/25, indicated, using the information on
PBJ when investigating staffing and added the need for RN coverage for eight consecutive hours seven
days a week.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observations, interviews and record review the facility failed to ensure the method of destruction
for unused and/or unwanted medications and controlled substances (medication with a high potential for
abuse and addiction) rendered the substances unusable, prevented diversion and/or accidental exposure
for all residents.These failures resulted in the potential risk for abuse or misuse of
medications.Findings:During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/27/25 at 9:34 a.m. with the
Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), in the medication storage room, a large cardboard box was observed
full of residents' medications in blister packs (medication packaging with seal compartments or blisters
each blister offers one dose of medication) received from the pharmacy. The ADON confirmed the resident
medications in the box were either unwanted or unused medications and needed to be disposed. The
ADON indicated the facility's method of disposal was to extract each pill from the blister packs into a plastic
container that contained a solution which rendered the medication unusable. The ADON stated the
disposition for controlled substances was maintained by the Director of Nursing (DON) and the facility's
Pharmacy Consultant (PC).During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/27/2025 at 11:22 a.m. with
the DON, the DON confirmed the cardboard box in the medication storage room was resident medications
that were either unused or unwanted. The DON stated the process for the disposition of resident
medications included removing each pill from the blister pack into a dry plastic bin and picked up for
destruction by a medical waste company. The DON confirmed controlled substances are kept in her office
and the PC visits the facility once a month and assists with the destruction of controlled substances.During
a concurrent observation and interview on 8/27/25 at 11:40 a.m. with the Director of Staff Development
(DSD) the DSD stated the medication destruction container is kept in a locked storage area of the facility
and a medical waste company will pick up the medications for disposal. The DSD confirmed the plastic bin
for medication destruction did not have a lid securely attached, had whole pills at the bottom of the bin and
did not have a substance to render the medications unusable. The DSD acknowledged anyone would be
able to reach their hand in the bin and access the medications. The DSD acknowledged the DON and PC
completed the destruction of controlled substances.During a follow-up interview on 8/27/25 at 1:04 p.m.
with the ADON, the ADON confirmed the DSD kept the plastic bin for medication destruction and was
unaware the bin did not include a substance that rendered the medications unusable. The method for the
disposition of controlled substances included reconciliation of the medication blister packs or designated
pharmaceutical container and the signatures of two licensed nurses. The controlled substances were then
given to the DON in a locked box. When the controlled medications were ready for destruction the
controlled medications in pill form were crushed and placed in a dry plastic red biohazard bag. The ADON
acknowledged that crushing of controlled substances did not render them unusable or irretrievable, which
posed a risk for abuse, misuse or accidental exposure. During a follow-up interview on 8/27/25 at 3:03 p.m.
with the DON, the DON confirmed the current process for the destruction of controlled substances was to
crush the pills and place them all together in a dry plastic biohazard bag. The DON confirmed a solution
should be added to the controlled substances to render the medications irretrievable and unusable to
decrease the risk of unwanted exposure or abuse of the medications.During a telephone interview on
8/28/25 at 10:22 a.m. with the facility's Pharmacist (RPH) the RPH discussed the process for medication
destruction including the destruction of controlled substances. The RPH stated the destruction process for
the facility should include the use of a solution to render the medications and controlled substances
unusable. The RPH confirmed the facility's current method for the disposition and destruction of
medications and controlled substances was not

professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record reviews the facility failed to ensure, for all facility residents: Three
mobile carts with medical and treatment supplies were secured from unauthorized access; and, One
multi-dose vial of tuberculin (a combination of proteins that are used in the diagnosis of tuberculosis) was
removed from use after the expiration date.These deficient practices had the potential for unauthorized
access to medical supplies, topical prescriptions, and residents and staff to receive expired biologicals with
reduced potency from being used past the discard date.Findings:1. During a concurrent observation and
interview on 8/25/25 at 10:29 a.m. at the nursing station with Licensed Nurse (LN) A and LN B the mobile
cart labeled Lab was observed unattended and unlocked. LN A acknowledged the cart was unlocked and
unattended, contained sharp objects (such as needles), and the cart should be locked when
unattended.During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/25/25 at 2:39 p.m. with LN A and LN B, the
mobile cart labeled TX (treatment) Cart, [NAME] Side was observed unattended and unlocked. LN 2
acknowledged the cart was unlocked and unattended, contained items such as: scissors, general use

confirmed the cart should be locked when unattended for safety reasons.During a concurrent observation
and interview on 8/26/25 at 10:13 a.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) in the hallway
between rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], a mobile cart labeled TX Cart, East Side was observed unattended
and unlocked. The ADON stated the cart should be locked for safety and to prevent unauthorized access to
the items inside the cart. 2. During observation on 8/27/2025 at 9:14 a.m. in the medication storage room,
one vial of multi-dose tuberculin was observed open and without an open date. The tuberculin box had a
handwritten date of 7/10/25 on the outside and the vial had a printed label wrapped around it with a date of
7/7/25.During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/27/2025 at 11:10 a.m. with LN C, in the

Establish a governing body that is legally responsible for establishing and implementing policies for
managing and operating the facility and appoints a properly licensed administrator responsible for
managing the facility.
Based on interview and record review, the facility's governing body failed to implement it's policy for annual
skills competency assessment for licensed Nurses (LNs) and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) when
leadership staff did not address the lack of annual assessments during QAPI meetings (QAPI, a
systematic, comprehensive, and data-driven approach to maintaining and improving safety and quality in
nursing homes in practical and creative problem solving). These failures resulted in lack of oversight and
responsibility for the skill competency of staff providing care to all residents of the facility.Cross reference
F726.Findings:A review of the QAPI agendas, for 3/2025 and 6/2025, did not indicate that LNs and CNAs
lacked their annual skill competency assessments were addressed.During an interview with the Assistant
Administrator (AA) on 08/28/2025 at 11:23 AM, the AA stated she was not aware of the annual skill
competency assessment for LNs and CNAs was not being done and added, the lack of skill assessments
was not included as a topic in QAPI. The AA stated the lack of annual skill competencies was a concern
because it put all the residents at risk. The AA stated QAPI was important because it identified issues to
prevent problems from recurring, which leads to better resident outcomes and resident safety. The QAPI
policy and procedure was requested but was not provided.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure respiratory and urinary
supplies were stored in a sanitary condition for one out of 15 sampled residents (Resident 17), when
Resident 17's nebulizer mask (a medical device that transforms liquid medicine into a fine, inhalable mist to
be delivered directly to the lungs) and urinary catheter (a hollow tube inserted into the bladder to drain or
collect urine) drainage bags (a device connected to a urinary catheter to collect and hold urine) were not
labeled with a date when last replaced nor stored in a sanitary manner. These failures had the potential for
an increased risk of oxygen and urinary supplies to become contaminated with bacteria, mold, and dust,
posing a serious risk of respiratory and/or urinary infections to the resident.Findings: A review of Resident
17's admission Record indicated Resident 17 was initially admitted to the facility in December 2022 with
diagnoses which included bronchitis (inflammation of the tubes letting air in and out of the lungs) and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it
difficult to breathe).A review of Resident 17's Order Summary Report (OSR, physician orders) indicated the
following orders:1. Ipratropium-albuterol inhalation solution 0.5mg/3mL to inhale orally every two hours as
needed for wheezing or shortness of breath, dated 12/14/23.2. May use condom catheter (an external
catheter that helps manage urinary incontinence) at bedtime, dated 12/31/24.3. Change urinary catheter
drainage bag every week and as needed, dated 9/14/24.During a concurrent observation and interview on
8/25/25 at 11:43 a.m. with Unlicensed Staff E, in Resident 17's room, Unlicensed Staff E acknowledged
Resident 17's nebulizer mask was on the floor and the presence of a handwritten sign on the wall that
indicated Resident 17's catheter bags are not to be thrown away because they are expensive. Unlicensed
Staff E retrieved Resident 17's nebulizer mask and tubing from the floor and stated, This needs to be
thrown away, they should be stored in a plastic bag for sanitary reasons. Unlicensed Staff E opened one of
Resident 17's drawers and stated, the [urinary drainage] catheter bags are being reused, sometimes rinsed
and placed in [Resident 17's] bottom drawer.During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/27/25 at
3:51 p.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) in Resident 17's room, the ADON acknowledged
Resident 17's urinary drainage bags were being reused and stored in Resident 17's bottom drawer. The
ADON stated the urinary drainage bags should be dated when last changed, changed weekly or as
needed, have a plastic cap on the open end of the tubing to protect against bacteria entering the system,
and placed in a tied plastic bag for storage. The ADON confirmed urinary drainage bags that were reused
needed to be cleaned and left to air dry prior to storage. The ADON observed and removed two plastic
bags from Resident 17's bottom drawer, one with a loosely tied knot and the other bag untied. The ADON
confirmed both urinary drainage bags were undated, contained residual urine, and without plastic caps on
the tubing. The ADON stated, This is definitely an infection control concern and can lead to the harboring of
bacteria.During an interview on 8/28/25 at 8:57 a.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD
confirmed nebulizer masks and catheter bags should be kept in a sanitary manner and stored in plastic
bags to decrease the risk of infections. The DSD indicated that if urinary drainage bags are reused, they
need to be cleaned and left to air dry before storage. When shown how Resident 17's drainage bags had
been stored after being used, the DSD stated, No, these shouldn't be stored like this. We can order more
[urinary drainage bags] this needs to stop, it's gross.During an interview on 8/28/25 at 1:33 p.m. with the
DON the DON confirmed nebulizer masks and urinary drainage bags should be cleaned and stored in a
sanitary manner if reused, to decrease the risk of infections for residents, otherwise they should be thrown
away.A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Catheter Care, Urinary, revised August

Educate residents and staff on COVID-19 vaccination, offer the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible residents and
staff after education, and properly document each resident and staff member's vaccination status.
Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure one out of three sampled residents
(Resident 9) was offered the Corona virus vaccine (COVID vaccine).This failure could put Resident 9 at risk
for increased risk of severe illness, hospitalization, or death from COVID-19.Findings:A review of Resident
9's face sheets (FS, front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the
resident) indicated admitted to the facility in June 2025 with a diagnosis of Asthma (lung disease where you
have trouble breathing) and Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF, a life-threatening condition where there's not
enough oxygen or too much carbon dioxide in your body).A review of Resident 9's immunization record did
not indicate whether she was offered or refused a COVID vaccine.During a concurrent interview and record
review on 08/27/2025 at 3:17 p.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Resident 9's
immunization record was reviewed. The ADON verified the immunization record did not indicate a COVID
vaccine had been offered to Resident 9 and/or refused by Resident 9. The ADON stated, if it's not
documented, then it did not happen. The ADON stated it was important to document whether a resident
was offered or refused the COVID vaccine.During a concurrent interview and record review on 08/27/2025
at 5:37 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 9's immunization record was reviewed. The DON
verified there was no documentation to indicate that a COVID vaccine had been offered to Resident 9
and/or Resident 9 refused it. The DON stated documenting the COVID vaccination status of a resident is
important to ensure they were offered COVID vaccine if they had not received it yet. The DON stated she
expected the COVID vaccine was offered to all residents for their and other residents' safety. A review of the
facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Charting and Documentation, revised 7/2017, the P&P indicated,
. following information is to be documented in residents' medical record: medications administered

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
Based on observation, interview and records review, the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary,
and comfortable environment for residents when:1. preventive maintenance and cleaning was not
performed for Resident 8's, Resident 23's, and Resident 30's wheelchairs.2. broken, cracked and missing
tiles in the kitchen floor was not repaired. These failures had the potential to contribute to the spreading of
germs throughout the facility affecting all residents.Findings:1. During an interview on 8/25/2025 at 12:23
PM, Resident 8 stated her wheelchair had not been cleaned as far as she can remember but she would like
it to be cleaned.During an interview on 8/28/205 at 8:28 AM, Resident 23 stated he uses a wheelchair that
stays in his room but is not aware of it being maintenance or cleaned by facility staff.During an interview on
8/28/2025 at 8:32 AM, Unlicensed Staff C stated the Maintenance Supervisor used to wash the residents'
wheelchairs, especially Resident 30's wheelchair because she spits food and her wheelchair gets dirty.
Unlicensed Staff C stated no one is cleaning the wheelchairs anymore. During an interview on 8/28/2025 at
11:44 AM, Maintenance Staff I stated he was not sure if there was a schedule for maintenance and
cleaning of the wheelchairs. Maintenance Staff I stated he has not cleaned residents' wheelchairs since he
was hired in February 2025.During an interview on 8/28/2025 at 12:04 PM, the Maintenance Supervisor
stated maintenance and cleaning of wheelchairs is on an as needed basis. He further stated there are no
logs or documentation indicating maintenance and cleaning of wheelchairs has been performed. A review
of the facility's policy and procedure on wheelchair maintenance updated 8/27/25, indicated, To maintain a
wheelchair, regularly clean, inspect, and lubricate it. Pay close attention to the tires, brakes, and moving
parts, and ensure all bolts and nuts are tightened. For manual wheelchairs, monthly cleaning, lubrication,
and inspection of tires and brakes are recommended. For power wheelchairs, pay extra attention to the
battery and joystick. A breakdown of the cleaning schedule indicated: Daily - wipe down the frame and
wheels with damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Monthly - use a mild detergent and water to thoroughly
clean the entire wheelchair, including the frame, upholstery, and wheels.2. During an observation on
8/25/2025 at 10:32 AM, in the kitchen, there were several broken, cracked and missing tiles on the floor.
Photographs were taken to document the findings.During an interview on 8/27/2025 at 9:40 AM, the
Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) acknowledged the presence of cracks, broken and missing tiles on the
floor. She stated she had discussed the tile concerns with the facility owner previously and the facility
needed to have the floors repaired.During an interview on 8/28/2025 at 12:04 PM, the Maintenance
Supervisor was requested to provide a copy of the policy and procedure on maintenance cleaning of
residents' equipment and the kitchen floor.During an interview on 8/28/2025 at 1:29 PM, a follow-up request
