F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain resident dignity for one of seven sampled residents (Resident 311) reviewed for dignity practices by not providing a dignity bag (a cover placed over a urine collection bag so others cannot see the urine) for the foley catheter bag (a thin tube place in the bladder to drain urine into a bag) which exposed the urine contents to public view. This failure has the potential to cause Resident 311 embarrassment, and emotional distress (Feeling upset, anxious or humiliated), and loss of dignity (feeling disrespected or devaluated as a person). Findings: During a review of Resident 311's admission Record (contains demographic and medical information) indicated Resident 311 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with the admitted diagnosis of hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction (weakness on one side of the body (left side) after a stroke making it hard to move), Acute and Chronic Respiratory failure ( the lungs don't work properly, causing breathing problems that make them weak, and unable to get enough oxygen), and congestive heart failure (the heart isn't pumping blood well, which can cause swelling and tiredness). During an observation on May 19, 2025, at 11:55 AM inside Resident 311's room, Resident 311 was observed lying down in bed with head of the bed elevated, awake, alert and oriented to name, time and place. On the left side of the bed, a urine collection bag was visibly hanging, filled with yellow urine and attached to a catheter tubing. The bag was uncovered, with no dignity cover or privacy bag in place. During an interview on May 19, 2025, at 11:56 AM with Resident 311, the Resident 311 stated that he uses the urine bag because he cannot urinate on his own and that the nurses take care of it. During an interview on May 19, 2025, at 11:59 AM with Certified Nurse Assistant 3 (CNA 3), CNA 3 confirmed that the urine bag should have been place inside a dignity bag to protect the resident's privacy. During an interview on May 19, 2025, at 12:01 PM inside Resident 311's room with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON acknowledge and stated that the urine collection bag should be place inside a dignity cover (privacy bag) to ensure resident privacy and for infection control. During a review of Resident 311's Physician Orders dated May 7, 2025 indicated, Foley catheter (a (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 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. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a copy of the notice of transfer or discharge were sent to the Ombudsman for one of two sampled residents (Resident 106) reviewed for hospitalization when Resident 106 was sent to the hospital on February 9, 2025, and there was no copy of notice of transfer or discharge sent to the Ombudsman. This failure had the potential for Resident 106 to be inappropriately transferred or discharged . Findings: During a review of Resident 106's clinical record, the admission Record (a document that gives a summary of resident's information) indicated Resident 106 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] for cellulitis (infection of the skin) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing). During a review Resident 106's physician order (a set of instructions written by a doctor for the care of the resident) dated February 9, 2025, the physician's order indicated, Send patient to Desert Valley Hospital related to: left 4th toe infection. During a subsequent review of Resident 106's hospitalization paperwork, dated February 9, 2025, there was no record of the notice of transfer or discharge sent to the Ombudsman. During a concurrent interview and record review on May 21, 2025, at 9:30 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON) the regulation F-623 was reviewed. It stated, Notify the resident and the resident's representative(s) of the transfer or discharge and the reasons for the move in writing and in a language and manner they understand. The facility must send a copy of the notice to a representative of the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman. The DON stated that the notification of the ombudsman is done by the social worker. During a concurrent interview and record review on May 21, 2025, at 9:57 AM with the Social Services, Resident 106's hospitalization paperwork, dated February 9,2025, was reviewed. The Social Services stated the notification to the Ombudsman is only done for planned discharges that are sent home, board and care or other skilled nursing facilities. The Social Worker further stated that there is no notification sent when the resident is sent to the hospital. During a subsequent interview and record review on May 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM with the Medical Records, Residents 106's chart was reviewed. The Medical Record stated when residents are sent out to he hospital, duplicate transfer sheets are used for resident information, however there is no record sent from medical records to the ombudsman, that task is handled by the social worker. During an interview and record review with the DON and the Administrator on May 21, 2025, at 1:56 PM, the Administrator stated that there is no process, policy or procedure for notification for transfers. The Administrator stated there was no process in place to notify the ombudsman for residents sent to the hospital. The DON further stated this process was not a nursing issue but was an issue for the social services, and there is no notification sent for residents being discharged or transferred to a hospital setting.

F 0636 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every 12 months. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to accurately code the Resident Assessment Instrument-Minimum Data Set (RAI-MDS - a computerized resident assessment tool) for two sampled residents (Resident 84 and Resident 99) when: 1. For Resident 84's RAI-MDS assessment was not coded to indicate she had a diagnosis of schizophrenia (a chronic mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves). 2. For Resident 99's RAI-MDS assessment was not coded to indicate she had a stage 1 pressure ulcer (bed sore). These failures resulted in the MDS assessments for Resident's 84 and 99 to inaccurately reflect their current medical status which had the potential to result in unmet care needs for the residents. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 84's admission Record, (contains medical and demographic information), the admission Record, indicated Resident 84 was initially admitted on [DATE], with admitting diagnoses which included schizophrenia, hemiplegia and hemiparesis (weakness and paralysis on one side of the body), altered mental status, and dementia (term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities. During a review of Resident 84's RAI-MDS assessment dated [DATE], the assessment indicated, Section I Active Diagnoses - Psychiatric/Mood Disorder was not coded to indicate Resident 84 had the diagnosis of schizophrenia as the checkbox I6000 Schizophrenia, was left unchecked.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the Minimum Data Set, (MDS- a federally required resident assessment tool used to plan care and track clinical status) for one of seven sampled residents (Resident 64) reviewed for MDS coding accuracy when the facility inaccurately, documented Resident 64 received antibiotics in February 2025, despite no physician's orders showing antibiotic use. Residents Affected - Few This failure has the potential to cause poor care planning and inaccurate understanding of Resident 64's health, increasing the risk Resident 64's needs will not be met. Findings: During a review Resident 64's admission Record (contains demographic and medical information) indicated Resident 64 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with the admitted diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease (poor blood circulation), stiffness of right ankle (limited movement), stiffness of left ankle (limited movement) During a review of Resident 64's MDS (Minimum Data Set) Section N0300-Medications, dated February 20, 2025, the MDS indicated, this section is used to record how many days in the last 7 days Resident 64 received injections or specific medications, such as antibiotics or insulin. This section indicated Resident 64 was coded as receiving antibiotics. During a concurrent interview and record review on May 22, 2025, at 11:22 AM with MDS Nurse, the Resident 64's Physician Orders dated February 1, 2025, was reviewed. The physician's orders, indicated, there was no documented evidence that Resident 64 was on antibiotics. The MDS nurse confirmed there was no indication or supporting documentation showing antibiotic administration and identified as an oversight and coding discrepancy on his part. During a concurrent interview and record review on May 22, 2025, at 11:36 AM with the MDS nurse, Resident 64's MDS Section N - medications, dated February 20, 2025, was reviewed. The MDS nurse acknowledged Resident 64 was inaccurately coded under F (antibiotics) and further stated that the accuracy of the MDS is very important because it directly affects resident care planning. During a concurrent interview and record review on May 22, 2025, at 11:50 AM, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, CMS (U.S. Federal agency that oversees Medicare and Medicaid, and regulatory compliance for health care facilities, including nursing homes), Resident assessment Instrument, RAI (is an assessment system used in nursing homes) Version 3.0 Manual Section N: Medications was reviewed. The manual indicated, Intent: the intent of the items in this section is to record the number of days, during the last 7 days (or since admission/entry or reentry if less than 7 days) that any type of injection, insulin, and / or select medications were received by the resident.

F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to update Resident 84's Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR - a federally mandated program that requires all individuals seeking admission to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility to be screened to ensure individuals who are identified to have a significant mental illness [SMI], intellectual or developmental disability [I/DD] are not inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term care) when Resident 84 did not have her diagnosis of schizophrenia (a chronic mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves) included in the PASRR assessment used to admit Resident 84 into the skilled nursing facility. This failure had the potential to result in Resident 84 to not be accurately assessed regarding the need for treatment and services in alternate care settings to better suite the needs of Resident 84. Findings: During a review of Resident 84's admission Record (contains medical and demographic information), the admission Record indicated Resident 84 was initially admitted on [DATE]. Further review of the face sheet indicated Resident 84 had a diagnosis of schizophrenia with an onset date which indicated December 2, 2024 (date of admission). Other diagnoses Resident 84 had upon admission included altered mental status, and dementia (a general term for a decline in mental ability, including memory, thinking and social abilities, severe enough to interfere with daily life). During a review of Resident 84's Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Level I screening (a level 1 screening includes assessment of the resident's medical diagnoses to determine if the resident has or is suspected of having a PASRR condition [i.e. SMI, or I/DD]), dated December 2, 2024, the PASRR Level 1 screening indicated in section III for Serious Mental Illness .9. Diagnosed Serious Mental Illness. Does the individual have a serious diagnoses mental disorder such as .Schizophrenia .? This question was marked NO. Further review of the PASRR indicated the resolution status was LII - not required (Level 2 assessment is not required [level 2 assessment is done when the resident is positive for possible SMI and/or I/DD]). During an interview on May 21, 2025, at 10 AM, with the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDS Nurse), the MDS Nurse stated Resident 84's PASRR dated December 2, 2024, was inaccurate and did not include Resident 84's diagnosis of schizophrenia. The MDS Nurse further stated the PASRR assessment dated [DATE], was completed by the hospital for admission to the skilled nursing facility and the skilled nursing should have reviewed the PASRR when Resident 84 was admitted and identified the discrepancy (omission of schizophrenia diagnosis) but the discrepancy was not identified. The MDS Nurse further stated the skilled nursing facility updated the PASRR. During a review of Resident 84's revised PASRR level 1 screening, dated May 20, 2025, the revised PASRR indicated, .Status Change .9. Diagnosed Serious Mental Illness. Does the individual have a serious diagnosis mental disorder such as .Schizophrenia .? This question was marked YES. Further review of the revised PASRR indicated the resolution status was [NAME] Categorical Review (this means the resident was positive for a categorical condition, the resident is pending a review for possible level 2 screening and should not be admitted to a skilled nursing facility until acceptable resolution is obtained.

During an interview on May 22, 2025, at 8:52 AM, with the Quality Assurance Director (QA), the QA stated her expectation was that staff review PASRR assessments received from the hospital and ensure it was accurately completed and to complete a new one if needed. During a concurrent interview and record review on May 22, 2025, at 11:42 AM, with the Assistant Director of Nursing 2 (ADON 2), the ADON 2 stated Resident 84 had the diagnosis of schizophrenia upon admission into the skilled nursing facility. The ADON 2 further stated the hospital usually performed the PASRR level I assessment and skilled nursing facility staff were supposed to review it (PASRR Level 1) upon Resident 84's admission to ensure it was accurately completed. The ADON 2 stated if the PASRR was not accurate upon resident admit, the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDS Nurse) was supposed to create an amendment to the PASRR. The ADON 2 stated the purpose of the PASRR is to ensure it is appropriate for the resident to be placed in a skilled nursing facility. The ADON 2 then reviewed Resident 84's PASRR dated May 20, 2025 (the amended PASRR which now reflected Resident 84 had schizophrenia), and acknowledged the PASRR indicated [NAME] Categorical review. During a concurrent interview and record review on May 22, 2025, at 11:43 AM, with the ADON 2, the facility document titled, Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Level I Screening Assessment Guide, dated October 2024, was reviewed. The document indicated, Level I Screening Corrections.

F 0676 Ensure residents do not lose the ability to perform activities of daily living unless there is a medical reason. 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 record review, the facility failed to ensure physical therapy services were provided to one of three residents (Resident 59) sampled for rehabilitative and restorative services when Resident 59 did not receive physical therapy five times a week as ordered by the physician. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to cause a decrease in Resident 59 overall functioning or the inability for Resident 59 to reach his/her highest level of functioning. Findings: During a review of Resident 59's face sheet (contains medical and demographic information), the face sheet indicated Resident 59 was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses which included polyneuropathy (condition in which multiple nerves are damaged or dysfunctional on both sides of the body, often leading to symptoms like weakness, numbness, and burning pain), generalized osteoarthritis (breakdown of cartilage in multiple joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased joint function), heart failure (the heart not being able to fill with and pump blood), obesity (excess weight), and low back pain. During a concurrent observation and interview on May 19, 2025, at 10:56 AM, Resident 59 was lying in her bed and when asked how she was doing, Resident 59 stated she wanted to leave the facility but couldn't leave until she was able to walk again.

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 record review, the facility failed to ensure it followed its infection control program when: Residents Affected - Few 1. A Registered nurse Supervisor 3 (RNS 3) did not perform hand hygiene (hand washing or the use of alcohol based hand sanitizer) after performing a blood glucose check (procedure done to check the level of sugar in the blood and requires a pinprick blood sample). This failure had the potential for the spread of infectious blood borne pathogens (bacteria and viruses which can cause disease and illness) and the spread of infectious microorganisms from one patient to another in a vulnerable population of 106 patients. 2. There was a bag of intravenous antibiotics (antibiotics administered into the veins) and IV tubing set (disposable IV set used to administer medication intravenously) dated [DATE] and [DATE], left at Patient 33 bedside on [DATE] (23 days after it was used). This failure had the potential for inadvertent use of an expired IV tubing set or antibiotic bag which was past its expiration date placing the resident at increased risk of infection. Findings: 1. During an observation on [DATE], at 5:37 AM, with Registered Nurse Supervisor 3 (RNS 3), RNS 3 used a lancet (a device used to pinprick a finger and create a drop of blood) to test Resident 69's blood sugar (amount of sugar in the blood). After RNS 3 obtained a blood sample from Resident 69 and tested the resident's blood sugar, RNS 3 took off his gloves and began documenting in the Medication Administration Record (a document used to record the administration of medications). During continued observation on [DATE], at 5:51 AM, with RNS 3, RNS 3 completed medication administration for Resident 69 and began preparing the medications for administration to his next resident. RNS 3 still had not performed hand hygiene after performing a blood glucose test on Resident 69. During an interview on [DATE], at 5:56 AM, with RNS 3, RNS 3 stated he didn't perform hand hygiene after removing the gloves he used to check Resident 69's blood sugar because he forgot. RNS 3 further stated he was supposed to use hand sanitizer immediately after removing his gloves and prior to preparing another patients medications but he didn't. RNS 3 stated the Licensed Vocational Nurse who was supposed to work the current shift had called off and that was why he had to administer medications. The RNS 3 stated it had been a while since he had to administer medications. During an interview on [DATE], at 8:37 AM, with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated staff were supposed to perform hand hygiene immediately after removing their gloves.
