F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 ensure residents were called by their legal (official name recognized by government on documents), proper and preferred names for three of three sampled residents (Residents 14, 96, and 132). These failures had the potential for Residents 14, 96, and 132 to lose their dignity and individuality.Findings: a. During a review of Resident 132's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 132 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral infarction (a type of ischemic stroke caused by a blockage in blood vessels supplying the brain), diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing) and hypertension (HTN- high blood pressure). During a review of Resident 132's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 1/6/2026, the OSR indicated Resident 132 had an order for 1:1 feeder with all meals every shift. During a review of Resident 132's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 1/10/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 132 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand and process information). The MDS indicated Resident 132 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper did more than half the effort) with eating and dependent (helper did all the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting, shower, upper and lower body dressing. During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/13/2026 at 12:35 pm with Certified Nurse Assistant 2 (CNA 2) in the hallway, CNA 2 was passing lunch meal tray to Resident 132. CNA 2 stated Resident 132 was a feeder. During an interview on 1/14/2025 at 11:47 pm with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), the IPN stated all residents should be treated with dignity and respect and referred to by their own legal, proper and preferred names or nicknames. During an interview on 1/15/2026 at 4:08 pm with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated residents should not be labeled as feeder because it would affect the resident's dignity. b. During a review of Resident 96's AR, the AR indicated Resident 96 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including urinary tract infection (UTI- infection that affects part of the urinary tract), malignant neoplasm (group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body) of prostate, and acute kidney failure (a sudden decline in kidney function).

F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. 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 implement its policy and procedure (P&P) on Informed Consent for Physical Restraint, for the use of bed pad alarm (a pad with sensors that will alarm when a resident stands up unassisted to help prevent falls by alerting staff) for one of one sampled resident (Resident 76). This failure violated Resident 76's rights and placed Resident 76 at risk for psychological distress from hearing the alarm sound. Findings: During a review of Resident 76's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 76 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including fracture (a complete or partial break in a bone) of right arm, dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) , and history of falling (moving from a higher to a lower level, rapidly and without control). During a review of Resident 76's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 12/18/2025, the OSR indicated Resident 76 had an order for bed alarm. During a review of Resident 76's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 12/23/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 76 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand and process information). The MDS indicated Resident 76 required partial/moderate assistance (helper did less than half the effort) with eating and substantial/maximal assistance (helper did more than half the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting, shower, upper and lower body dressing, and personal hygiene. During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/13/2026 at 9:06 am with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) inside Resident 76's room, Resident 76 was in bed, lying on Resident 76's back with pad alarm on the bed. LVN 1 stated Resident 76 had a history of falling. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/14/2026 at 1:47 pm with Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), Resident 76's medical record (chart) and electronic health record (EHR) were reviewed. The IPN stated there was no record and documentation indicating Resident 76 or Resident 76's family member or responsible party signed a consent prior to the application of bed pad alarm. The IPN stated a consent should be obtained to ensure the resident or the resident's responsible party was informed and the purpose of the use of bed pad alarm was explained for the safety of the resident. During the interview on 1/15/2026 at 4:06 pm with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated bed pad alarm was a mobility alarm that could restrict the residents' mobility while in bed, the alarm sound could cause anxiety and should be consented before its application. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Use of Physical Restraints, revised August 2024, the P&P indicated, Mobility alarms may be considered as physical restraints if typical ability is restricted such as: alarm sound may prevent the resident from changing positions, stand/walk, staff giving reminders not to move/ambulate without assistance. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Informed Consent for Physical Restraint, revised September 2025, the P&P indicated, Physical restraint/device will be applied after informed consent is obtained by the physician/licensed practitioner and verified by a licensed nurse. Residents Affected - Few 555416 Page 3 of 32 555416 01/16/2026 Glendora Canyon Transitional Care Unit 401 W. Ada Ave. Glendora, CA 91741
F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. 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:a. The call lights were accessible for residents in four of four private shower areas.b. The call light was accessible for one of one visually impaired resident (Resident 92).These deficient practices had the potential to result in a delay in meeting the residents' needs for assistance and could lead to falls and accidents. Findings: Residents Affected - Some a. During a concurrent observation and interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/15/2026 at 10:21 AM, in Room A's private shower area, the emergency call light cord was located outside the shower area. The DON stated the call light cord was not reachable for the residents during shower. The DON stated this placed the residents at risk of injury and delayed help/assistance. The DON stated all staff were responsible for ensuring the call light cords are within resident's reach and easily accessible at all times to maintain safety, including the shower room. During a concurrent observation and interview with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS) on 1/15/2026 at 2:12 PM, in Room A's private shower area, the emergency call light cord was located outside the shower area. The MS stated the shower emergency call light cord was not accessible for residents in Room A. The MS stated the emergency call light cord should be within three feet (units of length used to measure distance) of the shower head so that residents could reach and use in case of emergency. The MS stated the emergency call light cord should be hanging two to six inches from the floor. The MS stated if the call light was not within reach, this placed the residents at risk for fall and injury. The MS stated there were a total of four residents' rooms with private shower area, and none of the emergency call light cords were reachable for residents in the shower. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Call System, Resident, dated 9/2022, the P&P indicated the emergency pull cord in shower areas must be within three feet of the shower head. The P&P further indicated that a pull cord must hang to within two to six inches of the floor to ensure a resident could reach it if they had fallen. b. During a review of Resident 92's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 92 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including glaucoma (an eye condition that damages the optic nerve), legal blindness (severe vision loss) and history of falling (moving from a higher to a lower level, rapidly and without control).

Resident 92's call light was wrapped around the bed siderails. Resident 92 stated Resident 92 did not know where 555416 Page 4 of 32 555416 01/16/2026 Glendora Canyon Transitional Care Unit 401 W. Ada Ave. Glendora, CA 91741
F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Resident 92's call light was and could not see the call light. CNA 3 stated Resident 92 was blind. CNA 3 stated it was important for Resident 92 to know where Resident 92's call light was, to be able to call for help and assistance. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/14/2026 at 1:27 pm with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), Resident 92's MDS dated [DATE] was reviewed. The IPN stated Resident 92 had severely impaired vision. The IPN stated Resident 92 should have Resident 92's call light in Resident 92's possession and be accessible to Resident 92 all the time to be able to call for assistance and prevent the resident from falling and accidents. During an interview on 1/15/2026 at 4:12 pm with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated legally blind, or visually impaired residents should have an appropriate call light intended for the resident's special needs like the sensor or pad call light to alert staff and assist the resident's needs promptly. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Call System, Resident, revised September 2022, the P&P indicated, If the resident has a disability that prevents him/her from making sure of the call system, an alternative means of communication that is usable for the resident is provided and documented in the care plan. 555416 Page 5 of 32 555416 01/16/2026 Glendora Canyon Transitional Care Unit 401 W. Ada Ave. Glendora, CA 91741
F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Advance Directive (AD, a written instruction, recognized under State law relating to the provision of health care when the individual is incapacitated [lacking the ability to meet essential requirements for physical health, safety, or self-care]) for one of eight sampled residents (Resident 10) was readily accessible in accordance with the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Advance Healthcare Directives/POLST. This failure had the potential for facility staff to provide medical treatment and services against Resident 10's will. Findings: During a review of Resident 10's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus (a disease in which the body's ability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin is impaired, resulting in elevated levels of glucose/sugar in the blood and urine), dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing) and encounter for attention to gastrostomy (GT creation of an artificial external opening into the stomach for nutritional support). During a review of Resident 10's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 12/23/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 10 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 10 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) from staff for oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower, upper/lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene. During an interview and concurrent record review on 1/14/2026 at 9:55 am, with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN) of Resident 10's medical records (chart and PointClickCare [PCC, a cloud-based software]), the IPN stated there was no AD in Resident 10's chart and PCC. The IPN stated the IPN could not find the existing AD of Resident 10 in the chart nor PCC. The IPN stated, Resident 10's AD needed to be accessible in the chart or PCC for staff to identify the resident's medical wants and wishes in case of an emergency or change of condition. During an interview and record review on 1/14/2026 at 10:01 am with the Social Service Director (SSD), SSD stated, there was no AD completed upon admission for Resident 10. The SSD stated, Resident 10's AD should be accessible in residents' chart or PCC to determine the resident's wishes in case of an emergency. During an interview on 1/16/2026 at 10:44 am, with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, the resident's AD needed to be readily accessible by staff in Resident 10's chart or PCC in case of emergency. The DON stated, AD was a legal document and indicated the resident's medical wishes and wants. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Advance Healthcare Directives/POLST revised 12/2019, the P&P indicated At the time of admission, admission Staff or designee will inquire about the existence of a Advance Healthcare Directive. A copy of the Advance Healthcare Directive is maintained as part of the resident's medical record. 555416 Page 6 of 32 555416 01/16/2026 Glendora Canyon Transitional Care Unit 401 W. Ada Ave. Glendora, CA 91741
F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 specific and resident-centered care plans (CP) for four of four sampled residents (Residents 3, 48, 49, and 95). These deficient practices had the potential for Residents 3, 48, 49 to not receive appropriate care, treatment, and/or services related to their needs and the potential to result in burns or injuries to Resident 95 during smoking breaks. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 3's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) and psychosis (a severe mental condition in which thought, and emotions were affected that contact was lost with reality).

LVN 2 stated the resident's CP should include the medication name to be specific. During a concurrent record review and interview with Registered Nurse 1(RN 1) on 1/15/2026 at 11:13 AM, all of Resident 3's CP were reviewed. RN 1 stated there were no specific CP to address memantine HCL nor rivastigmine use. RN 1 stated Resident 3's CP should be specific and resident-centered and the licensed nurse should initiate the CP upon admission. RN 1 stated memantine HCL and rivastigmine should have been included in Resident 3's CP because they were part of Resident 3's care. RN 1 stated it would affect nursing care without a specific CP. b. During a review of Resident 49's AR, the AR indicated Resident 49 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia and psychosis. During a review of Resident 49's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 49 had moderately impaired cognition.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement and follow infection prevention procedures to prevent the transmission of infectious organisms for two of five sampled residents (Residents 33 and 132) by failing to:a. Wear required personal protective equipment (PPE, equipment that protects people from injury or illness ) while providing care to Resident 33 who was placed on Enhanced Barrier Precaution (EBP, precautions that involve using a glove and gown during high-contact resident care activity for residents who are colonized or infected with an multidrug-resistant organisms [MDRO, bacteria that is resistant to many types of antibiotics] and those at a higher risk of developing a MDRO, such as, residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices).b. Ensure an EBP signage was posted outside the room of Resident 132 with foley catheter (FC, a common type of indwelling catheter, a soft, plastic or rubber tube that is inserted into the bladder to drain urine). These deficient practices had the potential to transmit infectious microorganisms and increase the risk of infection for Residents 33 and 132 and staff that could result in a widespread infection in the facility. Findings: Residents Affected - Some a. During a review of Resident 33's AR, the AR indicated Resident 33 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (when a person lacks bladder control due to brain, spinal cord or nerve problems) and heart failure (condition when the heart is unable to pump sufficiently to maintain blood flow to meet the body's needs). During a review of Resident 33's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 5/30/2025, the OSR indicated to place Resident 33 on EBP due to presence of foley catheter (thin, sterile tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine). During a review of Resident 33's Care Plan (CP) titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions initiated on 10/14/2025, the CP indicated Resident 33 had an indwelling catheter (foley catheter).
