F 0582 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.

F 0628 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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.

F 0628 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 required for residents who were transferred or discharged from the facility. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Transfer or Discharge Notices, revised March 2025, the P&P stipulated, .Notice of Transfer or Discharge (Emergency) 2.

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) titled Care Plans-Baseline, undated, the P&P indicated.is developed within 48 hours of the resident's admission.resident and or representative are provided a written summary of the baseline care plan.provision of the summary to the resident and or resident representative is documented in the medical 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 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 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 that is at risk of injuries.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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.

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).

F 0697 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 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.

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.

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.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. 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 2022 stipulated, Cleaning and Disinfecting Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555207 If continuation sheet Page 19 of 22 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.
