What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 7 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's ability to function. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow its policy to ensure resident's drug regimen was free from unnecessary medication use for one (1) of five (5) sampled residents (Resident 2), under unnecessary medications care area, by failing to have a specific indication for Resident 2's use of Seroquel (quetiapinean antipsychotic medication to treat mental condition by helping balance certain chemicals in the brain). This deficient practice had the potential to increase the risk for Resident 2 to experience adverse effects (unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a drug may have) related to psychotropic medication (drug or other substance that affects how the brain works and causes changes in mood, awareness, thoughts, feelings, or behavior), possibly leading to impairment or decline in the resident's mental, functional or psychosocial status.Findings: During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included unspecified dementia (progressive decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life), depression (a common, serious mental health condition characterized by a persistent low mood, loss of interest in activities, and a sense of numbness or emptiness), and anxiety disorder (a group of mental health conditions characterized by persistent, excessive, and uncontrollable fear, worry, or dread that interferes with daily life).During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 10/31/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2 was assessed having severely impaired cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 2 required setup or clean-up assistance with eating and oral hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 2 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, upper/lower body dressing, personal hygiene, roll left and right, sit to lying, sit to stand, and toilet transfer. Resident 2 did not have any mood or behavior symptoms.During a review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report, dated 12/24/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated a physician order for the following:Seroquel oral tablet 25 milligrams (mg-unit of measurement) give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for psychosis (significant loss of contact with reality) manifested by (m/b) periods of paranoia (an intense, irrational distrust and suspicion of others, often with the unfounded belief that people are trying to harm, deceive or conspire against them), with a start date of 1/2/2025. Monitor behavior of psychosis m/b periods of paranoia behavior every shift, with a start date of 1/29/25.During a review of Resident 2's Care Plan, dated 1/29/2025, the care plan indicated Resident 2 used psychotropic medications Seroquel related to (r/t) psychosis. The care plan indicated interventions to monitor/record occurrence of target behavior (a specific observable, and measurable action selected for change, assessment, or intervention) symptoms periods of paranoia and document per facility protocolDuring a concurrent interview and record review on 1/16/2026, at 9:59 AM, with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), Resident 2's physicians orders were (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.

LVN 1 stated Resident 2 was ordered Seroquel for psychosis and paranoia. LVN 1 stated Resident 2's paranoid behavior included seeing things that were not there, saying that someone took her daughter or was going to hurt her or take her away from her place. LVN 1 stated Resident 2's behavior of seeing things were hallucinations and not paranoia. LVN 1 stated Resident 2's specific paranoid behavior was not indicated in Resident 2's physician order. LVN 1 stated Resident 2's order for behavior monitoring for Seroquel did not and should have indicated the specific paranoid behavior that needed to be monitored. LVN 1 stated this will ensure all the licensed nurses are monitoring the same behavior which will ensure accurate evaluation if the medication is effective or not.During an interview on 1/16/2026, at 10:31 AM, with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated Resident 2's behavior was being monitored because she was taking Seroquel for paranoia. LVN 2 stated Resident 2's paranoid behavior included agitation, aggressive behavior, and accusing staff of taking her things away. LVN 2 stated Resident 2's behavior monitoring order did not indicate the specific type of paranoia that needed to be monitored by facility staff. LVN 2 stated that the specific paranoid behavior should be specified in Resident 2's physician's order so that Resident 2's behavior could be managed. LVN 2 stated it was important to monitor Resident 2's specific paranoid behavior to determine if her Seroquel medication needed to be reevaluated by the physician.During an interview on 10/16/2026, at 3:04 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident 2's Seroquel was ordered for episodes of seeing things that are not there. The DON stated Resident 2's Seroquel order should indicate the specific paranoid behavior that needed to be monitored. The DON stated the specific behaviors of residents on antipsychotic medications should be monitored to make sure that the medication was working and to provide interventions when the resident displayed the behavior.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Antipsychotic Medication Use, revised on 7/2022, the P&P indicated the following:Antipsychotic medications may be considered for residents with dementia but only after medical, physical, functional, psychological, emotional psychiatric, social and environmental causes of behavior symptoms have been identified and addressed.Residents will only receive antipsychotic medications when necessary to treat specific conditions for which they are indicated and effective.The attending physician and other staff will gather and document information to clarify a resident's behavior, mood, function, medical condition, specific symptoms, and risks to the resident and others.The attending physician and facility staff will identify, evaluate and document, with input from other disciplines and consultants as needed, symptoms that may warrant the use of antipsychotic medications.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive, resident-centered care plan (a document that outlines a resident's care goals and the activities that will be performed to achieve those goals) for one (1) of 18 sampled residents (Resident 8) by failing to address Resident 8's central venous catheter (CVC, a type of access used for hemodialysis [HD-a procedure removing excess fluid and metabolic waste and products or toxic substances from the bloodstream]), in accordance with the facility's care plan policy.This deficient practice had the potential to not be able to provide specific interventions to address risk for having a CVC, such as accidental dislodgement (displacement/removal of a device thought to be securely in position), which could result in serious harm to Resident 8.Findings:During a review of Resident 8's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted the resident on 6/25/2011 and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included but not limited to end stage renal disease (ESRD-condition in which the kidneys stop functioning on a permanent basis leading to the need for regular course of long-term dialysis or kidney transplant to maintain life) with dependence on renal (kidney) dialysis (a treatment that removes waste and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are no longer functioning properly), and hypertension (high blood pressure).During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool) dated 12/29/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 8 had intact cognitive (ability to think, remember, and make decisions) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 8 was independent (residents complete the activity by themselves with no assistance from a helper) with eating, oral/toileting/personal hygiene, upper and lower body dressing, rolling left and right, sit to lying, lying to sitting on side of the bed, sit to stand, chair/bed to chair transfer, toilet transfer, and walking 10 feet (ft.- unit of measure used for measuring height, length and distance), walking 50 feet with two turns, and walking 150 feet. The MDS indicated Resident 8 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity. Assistance may be provided throughout the activity or intermittently) with putting on/taking off footwear and tub/shower transfer. The MDS indicated Resident 8 required partial/moderate assistance (helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the effort) with showering/bathing self. The MDS further indicated Resident 8 was on dialysis and had intravenous access (a medical technique that involves inserting a small, flexible tube [catheter] or needle into a vein to create a direct, temporary, or long-term, route into the bloodstream.During an observation and interview on 1/13/2026 at 4:03 PM in Resident 8's room, Resident 8 was observed sitting on her recliner chair. Resident 8 stated she was on HD every Monday-Wednesday-Friday and had a CVC for her access. Resident 8 stated there was an emergency kit (E-Kit, a portable collection of essential, sterile supplies used to temporarily manage, secure, or repair a catheter line if it becomes damaged, leaks, or if the dressing falls off. It is designed to be kept immediately available to prevent infection and stop air from entering the bloodstream before professional medical help is reached) on the shelf next to her bedside table. Resident 8 was observed pointing to the shelf right next to her bedside table on the right side of the bed.During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/15/2025 4:44 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Access and Care of Hemodialysis Catheters, revised 2/2023 and Care of a Resident with End Stage Renal Disease, revised 9/2010 were reviewed. The DON stated the P&Ps did not specifically address care of the CVC when accidental dislodgement occurs. The DON stated that for best practice, the P&P should include how to manage the CVC (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555272 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 16 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 555272 B.

The DON stated Resident 8 has a CVC on the right upper chest. The DON stated Resident 8 did not have and should have a care plan developed specifically for CVC to address the potential risks and complications and its interventions. The DON stated there should be a care plan for care of the CVC addressing not only risk of infection but also dislodgement. The DON stated the care plan should guide the staff on what interventions to perform in the event of an accidental dislodgement. The DON stated the failure to develop a care plan for the CVC represented a lack of comprehensive planning which could result in staff not knowing how to manage and care for Resident 8 if the CVC was accidentally pulled out and resulted in hemorrhage (bleeding).During a review of the care plan focused on Resident 8 has ESRD, revised 1/9/2026, the care plan interventions did not indicate presence and management of HD CVC access.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Care of a Resident with ESRD, the P&P indicated residents with ESRD will be cared for according to currently recognized standards of care, education and training of staff specifically including how to recognize and intervene in medical emergencies such as hemorrhage and septic infections (a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection).During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Plans, revised 3/2022, the P&P indicated a comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident. Assessments of residents are ongoing, and care plans are revised as information about the residents and the residents' condition change.

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 the care plan was implemented for one (1) of 1 sampled resident (Resident 47), under language and communication care area, by failing to put on the resident's hearing aid and provide a pencil and paper for communication.This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 47 from expressing her needs in a manner that the staff can understand, which could result in a delay in the provision of the resident's necessary care and services.Findings:During a review of Resident 47's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with the following but not limited to diagnoses of dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), muscle weakness, and need for assistance with personal care.During a review of Resident 47's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 10/20/2025, the MDS indicated the resident was severely impaired in cognitive (the ability to understand and make decisions) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 47 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort. Helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) with lower body dressing, shower/ bathe self and toileting hygiene but required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort. Helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the effort) with upper body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, personal hygiene and chair/bed to chair transfer. The MDS indicated Resident 47 has moderate difficulty (speaker has to increase volume and speak distinctly) in hearing.During a review of Resident 47's Care Plan with focus communication problem related to hard of hearing, revised 1/16/2025, the Care Plan indicated the following staff interventions:Provide assistive communication devices (hearing amplifier) and writing board.Resident requires staff to put on her hearing aid with communication.During a concurrent observation in Resident 47's room with Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN) on 1/13/2026 at 8:44 AM, Resident 47 was observed sitting in her wheelchair and asked to be put back to bed. The IPN replied to Resident 47 and the resident yelled, I can't hear you. IPN stated and was observed attempting to look for a writing board. Resident 47 was noted to be without hearing aids and without a writing board/paper and pencil at bedside.During an interview on 1/16/2026 at 9:34 AM, the IPN stated on 1/13/2026, Resident 47 was not wearing any hearing aids and did not have any writing materials for communication. The IPN also stated Resident 47 should have hearing aids on and a writing board/pad, or pencil and paper, so the resident is able to communicate her needs with the staff. During an interview on 1/16/2026 at 10:22 AM, the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Care of Hearing-Impaired Resident, dated 2001, was reviewed. The Director of Nursing (DON) stated the resident should have a writing pad or pen and paper to write, if able, when communicating with the staff. The DON also stated that this makes communicating easier so the staff can meet the needs of the resident. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Care of Hearing-Impaired Resident, dated 2001, the P&P indicated when interacting with the hearing impaired, staff will implement the following but not limited to providing pencil and paper or tablet to communicate in writing, if the resident is able. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Plans, dated 2001, the P&P indicated the comprehensive, person-centered care plan describes the services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being and are services provided for the resident.

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, interview, and record review, the facility failed to monitor, assess, and inform the physician regarding a skin discoloration (bruises - an injury appearing as an area of discolored skin on the body, caused by a blow or impact rupturing underlying blood vessels) on the resident's left arm for one of one sampled resident (Resident 16) receiving anticoagulant medications (medications that prevent blood from clotting excessively) in accordance with professional standards of practice (authorized, authoritative guidelines established by professional bodies to define the expected behaviors, skills, ethics, and knowledge required for competent practice). This deficient practice had the potential to result in a lack of or delay in assessing for possible complications of Resident 16's skin discoloration which could lead to undetected bleeding and hospitalization. Findings:During a review of Resident 16's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 16 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included transient cerebral ischemic attack (stroke-a temporary episode of blockage of blood flow to the brain), unspecified atrial fibrillation (afib-irregular, rapid heartbeat), and essential hypertension (high blood pressure). During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 11/20/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 16 was assessed having intact memory and cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 16 required setup or clean-up assistance with eating, oral/toileting hygiene, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 16 required supervision or touching assistance with sit to lying, sit to stand, chair/bed-to-chair transfer, walking 150 feet (ft- unit of measurement), and toilet transfer. The MDS also indicated Resident 16 required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with shower/bathe self, upper body dressing, and lower body dressing. During a review of Resident 16's Order Summary Report, dated 12/24/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated the following physician orders:Aspirin EC (medication used to prevent blood clots and lower the risk for a heart attack or stroke) Tablet Delayed Release 81 milligrams (mg- unit of measurement) give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for cardiac (heart) protector, give with food, with a start date of 11/13/2025.Xarelto (rivaroxaban- a blood thinner used to prevent and treat dangerous blood clots) Oral Tablet 10 mg give 1 tablet by mouth in the evening for afib, give with meal, with a start date of 1/2/2025. Monitor for any signs and symptoms of bleeding related to (r/t) Xarelto and Aspirin- check every (q) shift for bleeding gums, nose bleeds, bruising, coughing up blood, stained mucus, black stools. If present report to physician (MD), with a start date of 1/2/2025. During a review of Resident 16's Care Plan, dated 4/22/2025, the Care Plan indicated Resident 16 was on anticoagulant therapy Xarelto r/t afib. The Care Plan intervention included the following:Administer anticoagulant medications as ordered by the physician. Monitor for side effects and effectiveness q shift.Daily skin inspection. Report abnormalities to the nurse.Monitor [NAME] any signs and symptoms of bleeding r/t Xarelto and aspirin- check q shift for bleeding gums, nose bleeds, bruising, coughing up blood stained mucus, black stools. If present report to MD. During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/13/2026, at 9:50 AM, with Resident 16 in Resident 16's room, Resident 16 was observed sitting on her chair watching television. Resident 16 stated she was taking Xarelto and Aspirin which would give her bruises. Resident 16 pulled up her left sleeve and stated she had a dark purple bruise on the resident's left upper arm. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/14/2026, at 3:25 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), Resident 16's Point of Care (POC- the delivery and documentation of clinical services, such as nursing care, therapy, or diagnostics, directly at the resident's Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555272 If continuation sheet Page 6 of 16 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 555272 B.

LVN 1 stated Resident 16 bruised easily because the resident was taking Xarelto and Aspirin. LVN 1 stated Resident 16 was monitored for signs of bleeding every shift. LVN 1 stated Certified Nursing Assistants perform body checks when they assist the residents with their activities of daily living (ADL- basic self-care tasks like eating, bathing, dressing, and using the toilet). LVN 1 stated Resident 16's POC Response History form indicated Resident 16 had an old discoloration on 1/14/2026, at 9:52 AM. LVN 1 stated she was not aware that Resident 16 had a bruise on the resident's left arm. During an interview on 1/14/2026, at 4:18 PM, with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), IPN stated Resident 16 had a bruise on the resident's left arm. During an interview on 1/15/2026, at 11:28 AM, with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated she reports new bruises she sees on residents during ADL care to the LVN. CNA 1 stated Resident 16 has had the bruise on her left lower arm for approximately three (3) months. CNA 1 stated she informed an unknown LVN three months ago about the bruise and was informed by the LVN that the bruise was already reported to the MD. CNA 1 stated she did not report the bruise on Resident 16's left lower arm anymore because CNA 1 though it was an old bruise from 3 months ago that was already reported. CNA 1 stated it was important to report skin discoloration or bruises to the LVN so the MD can be notified and the cause of bruise can be investigated. During an interview on 1/15/2026 at 12:02 PM, with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated signs and symptoms of bleeding on a resident taking anticoagulants should be reported to the MD right away to make sure the resident was not bleeding internally. LVN 1 stated it was also important to find out the cause of the bleeding because sometimes it could also be a sign that the resident was abused (willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain or mental anguish) or had a fall. During an interview and record review on 1/15/2026, at 12:10 PM, with the IPN, Resident 16's Progress Notes dated from 10/25/2025 to 1/13/2026 were reviewed. The IPN stated there was no documentation of discoloration or bruising on Resident 16's left lower arm from 10/25/2025 to 1/13/2026. The IPN stated the discoloration on Resident 16's left lower arm was a change in condition and the MD should have been notified as soon as possible or by the end of the shift. The IPN stated it was important to notify the MD of any signs and symptoms of bleeding in case the resident's anticoagulant medications need to be changed. During an interview on 1/16/2026, at 12:27 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the signs and symptoms of bleeding observed by the CNA should be reported immediately to the LVN. The DON stated LVNs should assess and provide the necessary interventions to prevent complications as soon as signs and symptoms of bleeding are observed or reported to the licensed nurse. The DON stated the MD should be notified immediately and no more than 24 hours after signs and symptoms of bleeding were reported. The DON stated if bleeding was not assessed and reported to the MD, the resident can have complications like hemorrhage (an escape of blood from a ruptured blood vessel) which was an emergency and could result in hospitalization. During a review of the facility's P&P, titled, Acute Condition Changes-Clinical Protocol, revised on 3/2018, the P&P indicated the following:Direct care staff, including nursing assistants will be trained to recognizing subtle but significant changes in the resident and how to communicate these changes to the Nurse. Nursing assistants are encouraged to use the Stop and Watch Early Warming Tool (a simple, visual communication aid used in healthcare to help staff quickly spot and report subtle signs of a resident's condition deteriorating to nurses or managers) to communicate subtle changes in the resident to the nurse.
