**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement its policies and procedures (P&P)
affecting two of five sampled residents (Resident 1 & Resident 2) by failing to: A. Notify Resident 1's doctor
and responsible party on 6/30/2025 that Resident 1 encountered a change of condition with injury. B.
Provide Resident 2 with the right to refuse room changes. These deficient practices denied the residents
and their responsible parties' their rights, and to information needed to make decisions related to residents'
care needs. Findings: A. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated
the facility admitted Resident 1 on 4/7/2022 with the diagnoses including muscle weakness, dysphagia
(having difficulty swallowing), and hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction (weakness or
lack of movement to one side of the body after a brain injury) affecting the left side. During a review of
Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 4/9/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 1 had moderate impairments with decision making tasks and understanding of questions. During
a concurrent interview and observation on 7/2/2025 at 2:44 p.m. with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated, I was
injured here like two days ago. Resident 1 showed his left elbow noted with skin discoloration of dark purple
and blue partially covered with a band-aid. Resident 1 stated the incident happened while staff were using
a lift machine (a device used for transferring residents to and from bed to wheelchair) and Resident 1's
elbow hit the metal parts of the machine. During a concurrent interview and observation on 7/2/2025 at
2:55 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 observed Resident 1's left elbow and stated it was
a hematoma. LVN 1 stated, A hematoma is internal bleeding under the skin or pretty much a bruise on his
left elbow covered with a band aid. During an interview on 7/9/2025 at 12:43 p.m. with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated
on 6/30/2025, LVN 2 was informed by a Certified Nursing Assistant (unknown) to go to Resident 1 because
Resident 1 was bleeding. LVN 2 stated she (LVN 2) went to Resident 1's room and saw discoloration on the
resident's left elbow. LVN 2 stated she (LVN 2) did not inform the Registered Nurse on duty, Resident 1's
doctor, or the responsible party of Resident 1's change of condition with injury. LVN 2 stated, I failed to start
the change of condition timely, I failed to notify the Registered Nurse supervisor, the family/responsible
party, and the doctor of the change of condition. B. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the
admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/27/2023 with diagnoses including type
two diabetes mellitus (DM 2 - a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound
healing), polyneuropathy (muscle weakness, pain, numbness due to damaged peripheral nerves), and
depression (a serious mental health condition affecting how one feels, thinks, and acts, impacting day to
day functions). The admission Record indicated Resident 2 was self-responsible for decision making tasks
related to care. During a review of Resident 2's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 2 was fully
alert and able to understand and answer questions. During a review of Resident 2's Room

and/or Roommate Change Authorization/Notification form, dated 6/13/2025 (no time listed) and again on
7/2/2025, the Room and/or Roommate Change Authorization/Notification form indicated Resident 2 gave
Verbal Consent to move rooms. The record did not have Resident 2's signature of acknowledging and
agreeing to the room change and the facility staff signature/identifier on who completed the form. During an
interview on 7/2/2025 at 3:12 p.m. with Resident 2, Resident 2 stated he (Resident 2) was told he (Resident
2) needed to move rooms and he (Resident 2) had no choice. Resident 2 stated he (Resident 2) was
moved to the current room just earlier in the day. Resident 2 stated, When they moved me, I felt bad being
stuck in another room. I didn't sign any papers to agree to the move, they just moved me. During an
interview on 7/2/2025 at 3:58 p.m. with Social Services Assistant (SSA) 1, SSA 1 stated Resident 2 was
moved into different rooms on 6/13/2025 and earlier today, 7/2/2025. SSA 1 stated, The failure is that it is
important to notify and document the notification of the room changes because it is their right to agree or
disagree to the room changes. Ultimately, it is up the resident or responsible party to make that decision.
