What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 16 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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 inform and provide written information to one of 5 residents (5), regarding the rights to formulate an advance directive (a legal document that explains how a resident wants medical decisions about him/her to be made if he/she cannot make the decisions himself/herself. It is used to guide the health care team and loved ones when they need to make these decisions or to decide who will make decisions for the resident when he/she can't). This failure had the potential for the facility to provide treatment and services against the residents' wishes. Findings: Review of Resident 5's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 5's clinical record indicated she did not have an advance directive and did not have an Advanced Directive Acknowledgement that an advance directive was addressed or if the resident/resident representative was helped in formulating an advance directive. During an interview with registered nurse A (RN A) on 6/25/25, at 3:50 p.m., RN A reviewed Resident 5's clinical record and confirmed that Resident 5 did not have an advance directive and did not have an Advanced Directive Acknowledgement that an advance directive was addressed or if the resident/resident representative was helped in formulating an advance directive. Review of the facility's policy, Advance Directives, dated 9/2022, indicated . If the resident or representative indicates that he or she had not established advance directives, the facility staff will offer assistance in establishing advance directives. The resident or representative is given the option to accept or decline assistance . 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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

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 interview and record review, the facility failed to provide that one of 3 residents (Resident 132) reviewed for the SNF Beneficiary Protection Notification Review received a written copy of the Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) at least two calendar days before the end of Medicare Part A coverage. This failure denied Resident 132 the knowledge to appeal the discharge. Residents Affected - Few Findings: Record review of Resident 132's NOMNC indicated that it was issued to Resident 132's representative on 5/3/25, the date of Resident 132's discharge. Resident 132's last Medicare Part A covered day was also 5/2/25. The NOMNC was issued one day late. During an interview on 6/26/25 at 11:27 a.m., the Social Services Director (SSD) stated that the NOMNC should have been issued at least 72 hours before the last covered day, to allow the resident or representative time to appeal. The SSD acknowledged that the notification was not issued timely and that she did not inform Resident 132 or the representative about the last Medicare covered day prior to discharge. Review of an undated facility's policy titled Form Instructions for the Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) CMS-10095, indicated, A Medicare health provider must give in advance, completed copy of the Notice of Medicare Non Coverage (NOMNC) to enrollees receiving skilled nursing, home health (including psychiatric home health), or comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facility services, no later than two days before the termination of services .

F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 ensure 3 of 6 residents (5, 11, and 79) were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications (drugs that affect brain activities associated with mental processes and behaviors) when: 1. Resident 5 received Depakote (used to treat manic depressive illness) without monitoring for side effects and quarterly assessment; 2. Resident 11 received Depakote without quarterly assessment; and 3. Resident 79 received quetiapine (used to treat depressive and manic episodes), lorazepam (used to treat disorders that involve more than occasional worry or fear), haloperidol (used to treat nervous, emotional, and mental conditions), and bupropion (used to treat major depressive disorder) without monitoring for manifested behaviors. These failures resulted in unnecessary medications for the residents, which had the potential for increased risks associated with psychotropic medication use that include but not limited to sedation, respiratory depression, falls, constipation, anxiety, agitation, abnormal involuntary movements, and memory loss. Findings: 1. Review of Resident 5's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 5's physician order, dated 11/8/23, indicated she received two capsules of Depakote 125 milligrams (mg, a metric unit of mass) two times a day for mood stabilizer. Review of Resident 5's clinical record indicated she was not monitored for the side effects and was not quarterly assessed for the use of Depakote. During an interview with the interim director of nursing (IDON) on 6/27/25, at 2:52 p.m., she reviewed Resident 5's clinical record and confirmed that Resident 5 was not monitored for side effects and was not quarterly assessed for the use of Depakote. The IDON stated Resident 5 should be monitored for side effects and quarterly assessed for the use of Depakote. 2. Review of Resident 11's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 11's physician order, dated 1/13/25, indicated she received Depakote 250 mg in the evening for mood stabilization. Review of Resident 11's clinical record indicated she was not quarterly assessed for the use of Depakote. During an interview with the IDON on 6/27/25, at 2:49 p.m., she reviewed Resident 11's clinical record and confirmed that Resident 11 was not quarterly assessed for the use of Depakote.

F 0605 3. Review of Resident 79's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of Resident 79's physician orders, dated 6/20/25, indicated she had orders for bupropion 150 mg every day for low mood or sadness; haloperidol 2 mg/milliliters (ml, a metric unit of volume) give 0.25 ml, 0.5 ml, or 1 ml every 4 hours as needed for mild restlessness/nausea/vomiting, moderate restlessness/nausea/vomiting, or severe restlessness/nausea/vomiting; Lorazepam 2 mg/ml give 0.25 ml, 0.5 ml, or 0.75 ml every 2 hours as needed for mild nervousness, moderate nervousness, or severe nervousness; and quetiapine 25 mg at bedtime for continuous crying out/screaming. However, there was no monitoring on these behaviors for Resident 79. Residents Affected - Some During an interview with the IDON on 6/27/25, at 2:18 p.m., she reviewed Resident 79's clinical record and confirmed that there was no monitoring on the behaviors for the use of bupropion, haloperidol, Lorazepam, and quetiapine for Resident 79. The IDON stated Resident 79's behaviors for the use of bupropion, haloperidol, Lorazepam, and quetiapine should be monitored. Review of the facility's policy, Psychotropic Medication Use, dated 7/2022, indicated . 3. Psychotropic medication management includes: . d. adequate monitoring for efficacy and adverse consequences; . 8. Consideration of the use of any psychotropic medication is based on comprehensive review of the resident. This includes an evaluation of the resident's signs and symptoms in order to identify underlying causes.

F 0645 PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of Resident 10's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with schizophrenia diagnosis. Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident 10's PASARR Level I Screening, dated 11/22/22, indicated that Resident 10 did not have a serious diagnosed mental disorder such as schizophrenia. During an interview with registered nurse A (RN A) on 6/25/25, at 3:53 p.m., she reviewed Resident 10's 11/22/22 PASARR Level I Screening and confirmed that Resident 10's PASARR Level I Screening should have indicated she had a serious diagnosed mental disorder such as schizophrenia. Review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) entitled admission Criteria dated 2001, the P&P indicated, .9. All new admissions and readmissions are screened for mental disorders (MD), intellectual disabilities (ID) or related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) process b. If the level I screen indicates that the individual may meet the criteria for a MD, ID, or RD, he or she is referred to the state PASARR representative for the Level II (evaluation and determination) screening process . Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately complete the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR, a federally mandated program ensures individuals are not inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long-term care) for two (Resident 21 and Resident 10) out of 14 sampled residents when Resident 21's and Resident 10's mental illness diagnoses were not indicated in PASARR. These failures had the potential to result in the residents not receiving the appropriate PASARR level 2 evaluation (used to confirm mental illness and assess whether the resident requires specialized services). Findings: 1. A review of Resident 21's PASARR, dated 4/9/23 indicated, Level 1- Negative .Reason Code: No Serious mental illness .resolution: LII [level 2]: Not Required The individual who completed the PASARR answered No when asked if Resident 21 had a serious diagnosed mental disorder. A review of Resident 21's admission Record indicated Resident 21 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including Schizophrenia (a severe mental illness that disrupts a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly). During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/24/25 at 4:51 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) A, RN A verified she completed PASARR Level 1 for Resident 21 on 4/9/23. RN A stated that Resident 21 came from a hospital prior to admission in the facility. RN A verified Resident 21's Hospital Discharge Summary prior to admission indicated a diagnosis of Schizophrenia. RN A verified Resident 21's PASARR Level 1 should have indicated the diagnosis of Schizophrenia.

F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide services that meet professional standards of quality for two of 14 sampled residents (Residents 4 and Resident 1) when: Residents Affected - Few 1. For Resident 4, the facility staff did not document the apical pulse (the pulse that is felt at the bottom of the heart) before administering Digoxin (a medication used to treat certain heart conditions); and 2. Resident 1 was given the medication Carvedilol (used to treat high blood pressure) when her diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number in a blood pressure reading, representing the pressure in your arteries when your heart is at rest between beats) was low (a diastolic pressure reading below 60 is considered low) at 50 mmhg (millimeters of mercury, a unit of measurement). These failures had the potential to compromise the residents' care and could cause health complications. Findings: Review of Resident 4's admission record indicated that the resident had a diagnosis of unspecified atrial fibrillation (an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm that can lead to poor blood flow and increase the risk of stroke or heart failure). Review of Resident 4's active Order Summary Report indicated an order date of 1/24/24, for Digoxin 125 micrograms (mcg, unit of measurement) by mouth once daily for arrhythmia (an abnormal heart rhythm) and hold the dose if the heart rate (HR, the number of times the heart beats per minute) is less than 55 beats per minute. Review of Resident 4's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for June 2025 indicated Digoxin was administered at 9:00 a.m. every day, but no apical pulse reading recorded in the MAR prior to administration of Digoxin. Further review of the MAR showed that the apical pulse was recorded twice daily (BID) on the day and evening shifts. However, the readings were not taken during the 9:00 a.m. Digoxin dose and does not confirm the apical pulse was checked immediately before Digoxin administration. During a concurrent interview and record review with the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) on 6/25/25 at 1:30 p.m., the IDON acknowledged that there was no documentation of an apical pulse recorded before giving Digoxin. She stated that it was the facility's practice for nurses to check the apical pulse before administering Digoxin and that the result should have been documented in the MAR next to the administration time. The IDON acknowledged that the BID monitoring of apical pulse does not confirm whether the apical pulse was taken during the 9:00 a.m. Digoxin dose. Review of the Lippincott Nursing Drug Guide (2024 edition) indicated standard nursing practice for Digoxin includes auscultating the apical pulse for one full minute before each dose and withholding the dose if the pulse is below the ordered threshold (typically less than 60 beats per minute). 2.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/26/25 at 1:22 p.m. with the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON), the IDON verified Resident 1's physician order for carvedilol and the blood pressure reading of 116/50 mmhg prior to administration of the medication carvedilol by LVN D. The IDON stated Resident 1 was at risk for hypotension (low blood pressure). The IDON also stated that LVN D should have rechecked the blood pressure prior to administering the medication or notified the doctor if it was okay to give carvedilol with a blood pressure of 116/50 mmhg.

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 ensure the residents received the necessary care and services for one of 14 residents (15) when Resident 15 did not receive weekly weight and one-to-one feeding assistance with all meals as ordered by the physician. This failure had the potential to negatively affect the resident's nutritional status, health, and well-being. Residents Affected - Few Findings: Review of Resident 15's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 15's Nutritional Assessment, dated 2/12/24, indicated she had insidious weight loss since 10/2023, and Resident 15 may benefit from one-to-one feeding assistance with all meals to promote intake and gradual weight gain. Review of Resident 15's physician orders indicated she had orders for one-to-one feeding assistance with all meals, started on 2/13/24, and weekly weight in the morning every Tuesday, started on 5/21/24. Review of Resident 15's weight document, from 5/17/24 to 6/2/25, indicated she was weighed about every month, not every week.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure acceptable parameters of nutritional status were maintained for one of 18 sampled residents (Resident 12) when Resident 12 experienced an unplanned insidious weight loss of 10 pounds, 6.8% in three months and 16 pounds 9.8% weight loss in six months. This had the potential to result in muscle wasting, loss of independence, decreased quality of life, and increased disease complications. Residents Affected - Few Findings: A professional reference review of the National Library of Medicine titled, An approach to the management of unintentional weight loss in elderly people, dated March 15, 2005, showed in part, Unintentional weight loss, or the involuntary decline in total body weight over time, is common among elderly people who live at home. Weight loss in elderly people can have a deleterious effect on the ability to function and on quality of life and is associated with an increase in mortality over a 12-month period .Unintentional weight loss is the involuntary decline in total body weight over time. In clinical practice, it is encountered in up to 8% of all adult outpatients and 27% of frail people 65 years and older. Weight loss is an important risk factor in elderly patients. It is associated with increased mortality, which can range from 9% to as high as 38% within 1 to 2.5 years after weight loss has occurred .Weight loss of 4%-5% or more of body weight within 1 year, or 10% or more over 5-10 years or longer, is associated with increased mortality or morbidity or both. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC552892/ Involuntary weight loss can lead to muscle wasting . depression and an increased rate of disease complications. Various studies demonstrated a strong correlation between weight loss and morbidity and mortality. (February 15, 2002/Volume 65, Number 4 www.aafp.org/afp American Family Physician). A publication titled Nutrition Care of the Older Adult from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, dated 2016, indicated the goal of Medical Nutrition Therapy is to maintain or restore the individual's usual body weight. A publication from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics titled What Resources Are Available to Assist in Assessing Body Weight in Older Adults. July 1, 2025, indicated usual body weight (UBW), an individual's weight throughout adult life or a stable weight over time, is the preferred standard for older adults. Any recent weight changes, especially unintentional weight loss, would also need to be addressed in a care plan. UBW is considered more appropriate than desirable body weight or ideal body weight for weight-related interventions in older adults. During a review of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Evidence Analysis Library regarding Unintended Weight Loss for Older Adults Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines (2007-2009), indicated the Registered Dietitian (RD) should monitor and evaluate weekly body weights of older adults with unintended weight loss, until body weight has stabilized, to determine effectiveness of medical nutrition therapy (MNT). The State Operations Manual (SOM) provides a definition for insidious weight loss: Gradual unintended weight loss over time is known as insidious weight loss. This can be where an older adult loses only 1-2 pounds per month, but for a continued period. When addressing unintentional weight loss, one needs to figure out why, if possible, the root cause of unintended weight loss (Geriatric Dietitian, 3/31/22).

F 0692 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few 2001, showed resident weights are monitored for undesirable or unintended weight loss or gain. Residents are weighed upon admission and at intervals established by the interdisciplinary team. Unless notified of significant weight change, the dietitian will review the unit weight record monthly to follow individual weight trends over time. The threshold for significant unplanned and undesired weight loss will be based on the following criteria: a. 1 month - 5% weight loss is significant; greater than 5% is severe; b. 3 months- 7.5 % weight loss is significant; greater than 7.5% is severe; c. 6 months - 10% weight loss is significant; greater than 10% is severe. Undesirable weight change is evaluated by the treatment team whether or not the criteria for significant weight change has been met. The evaluation includes but is not limited to the resident's target weight range and the resident's calorie, protein, and other nutrient needs compared with the resident's current intake and the relationship between current medical condition or clinical situation and recent fluctuations in weight; and whether and to what extent weight stabilization or improvement can be anticipated. The physician and the multidisciplinary team identify conditions and medications that may be causing anorexia (an eating disorder characterized by a restriction of food intake leading to low body weight), weight loss or increasing risk of weight loss. Interventions for undesirable weight loss are based on careful consideration of the following including but not limited to: Resident choice and preferences; nutrition and hydration needs; the use of supplementation. Review of the admission Record (a document containing the most pertinent information for a resident) for Resident 12, indicated Resident 12 was [AGE] years old.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few A record review showed Resident 12 was prescribed a No added Salt, Consistent Carbohydrate (CCHO; a diet typically prescribed to maintain blood sugar) diet from 6/8/24 to 3/27/25. A record review showed when Resident 12 was readmitted on [DATE], his diet order was a Cardiac - Low Fat Low Cholesterol, Low Salt, Diabetic No Concentrated Sweets (NCS) diet (a diet restricting foods and drinks with added sugars and simple carbohydrates; According to a progress note dated 6/5/25 RD recommended to change NCS diet to CCHO in house diet). A professional review titled, Management of Diabetes in Long-term Care and Skilled Nursing Facilities: A Position Statement of the America Diabetes Association, Diabetes Care 2016 showed, Liberal diets have been associated with improvement in food and beverage intake in the LTC population to better meet caloric and nutrient requirements. While carbohydrate intake should be taken into consideration, no concentrated sweets or no sugar diet orders are ineffective for glycemic management and should not be recommended. Instead, a consistent carbohydrate meal plan that allows for a wide variety of food choices may be more beneficial for both nutritional needs and glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes on mealtime insulin. Review of the facility's 2023 Diet Manual for Long Term Care Facilities showed the CCHO diet provided 1900 - 2000 calories per day; and the Low Fat/Low Cholesterol Diet provided 1800 - 2000 calories per day. Calculations in accordance with the Diet Manual show a CCHO diet provided (the combination of a CCHO diet and Low Fat/Low Cholesterol may have provided fewer calories according to the diet manual): 1444- 2000 calories with an intake of 76-100%. 969 - 1500 calories with an intake of 51-75% 494 - 900 calories with an intake of 26-75% Review of Resident 12's record included a physician Progress Note dated 3/30/25, showed Resident 12 was transferred out on 3/21/25 for chest pain and was readmitted to the facility on [DATE].

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 food that was regular and pureed potatoes were flavorful and served at a palatable temperature. Residents Affected - Some These failures had the potential for residents who received potatoes to eat less and have a decreased amount of nutrient intake. Findings: During a concurrent test-tray observation and interview with the The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) on 6/23/25 at 12:14 p.m., the temperature of a regular diced potatoes was measured with a calibrated thermometer by CDM at 100 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The CDM mentioned that there was always issues with potatoes temperature. When the potatoes were tasted, they barely felt warm in the mouth. During a concurrent test-tray observation and interview with the CDM on 6/23/25 at 12:20 p.m., when potatoes were tasted, the regular diced potatoes did not have much flavor (bland), and the pureed potato were even more bland. The CDM verified the taste and described the pureed potatoes as milky-bland; and the regular potatoes did not have much flavor. During an interview with the CDM on 6/23/25 at 1:43 p.m., the CDM stated that the service temperature of the food delivered to resident should have been 110 to 120 degrees F. A review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Meal Service, dated 2023, indicated, the temperature of the food when the resident receives it is based on palatability. The goal is to serve cold food cold and hot food hot. The recommended temperature at delivery to resident for hot entrée, waffles/pancakes, French toast starch, vegetables is equal to or greater than 120 degrees F. In addition, the P&P titled Food Preparation, dated 2023 indicated, prepared food will be sampled to be sure the food has a satisfactory flavor. Increased amounts of herbs and spices (not salt) may be added. It is the position of the American Dietetic Association (ADA; currently known as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics) that the quality of life and nutritional status of older residents in long-term care facilities may be enhanced by a liberalized diet. A diet that is not palatable or acceptable to the individual can lead to poor food and fluid intake, which results in weight loss and undernutrition, followed by a spiral of negative health effects.
