F 0565 Honor the resident's right to organize and participate in resident/family groups in the facility. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to act promptly upon the resident council's grievances and recommendations when the Grievance Official (GO) failed to address or provide a rationale for the inability to act on the resident council's grievances and recommendations over a three-month period (August 2025 to October 2025) for 16 sampled residents (Residents 1 to 16). This failure had the potential to cause an undermining of residents' independence, a hindering of effective problem resolution and quality improvement, and ultimately creating an atmosphere of fear and distrust within the facility.Findings:During the entrance conference with the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) on December 1, 2025, at 9:30 AM, the IDON stated Resident 41 was the resident council president.During an interview with Resident 41 and the Administrator (Admin) on December 1, 2025, at 3:17 PM, Resident 41 stated he was no longer the president of the resident council because he felt it was a waste of time since the facility never addressed the concerns raised by the council. The Admin stated the resident council president was Resident 19.During an interview with Resident 19 on December 1, 2025, at 3:28 PM, Resident 19 confirmed he was the resident council president and the group met about once per month. Resident 19 granted permission for a review of the resident council's meeting minutes over a three-month period.A review of the resident council meeting minutes dated August 2025, September 2025, and October 2025, was conducted. The following is a summary of the documented grievances and recommendations:Physical Therapy (PT): PT not doing enough, More PT not just once per week, resident not getting walks, PT for all body parts, an open gym for exercise.Nursing: Coming in turning call light off and walk back out again, staff complaining about getting things from the kitchen, not cleaning well after toilet use, sugar drop in independent residents and no one checks. Medications on time and correct medications, listen and respond to resident concerns, night shift nurses sleeping on the job and not providing showers.Dietary: More options for meal substitutions, more variety for daily meals, more variety for nighttime snacks, hot cereal not made correctly.Housekeeping: Clean the rooms better. Only cleaning bathroom not room itself, more clothes for men, more linen. Laundry to return correct clothes to the correct residents.Administration: listen and be more responsive. Operations Manager (OM) to attend meetings to understand residents' concerns. A resident council meeting was conducted on December 2, 2025, from 10 AM to 10:45 AM, 16 residents attended the meeting including the former president, Resident 41, and the current president, Resident 19. A summary of the documented grievances and recommendations from the resident council meetings held in August 2025, September 2025, and October 2025, was reviewed with the attendees. The attendees were asked whether the facility had addressed or responded to the council's grievances and recommendations for this three-month period. Approximately 50 percent of the attendees, including Residents 41 and 19, indicated that the facility had neither responded to nor addressed the council's grievances and recommendations during this three-month period.During an interview with the Admin on December 3, 2025, at 7:42 AM, the Admin stated the Grievance Official (GO) was the Social Services Director (SSD).

F 0565 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Admin stated the GO acted upon the resident council's grievances and recommendations.During an interview with the GO and the Activities Director (AD) on December 4, 2025, from 7:18 AM to 7:37 AM, The GO confirmed her role and responsibilities and stated that it was her responsibility to address grievances and recommendations from resident council meetings. However, the GO stated that the activities director had not provided her with minutes from these meetings for approximately six months, preventing her from addressing any issues or suggestions raised by the residents. The Activities Director (AD) stated she assumed her position in July 2025. The AD stated that no orientation or training was provided for the AD role, and she was unaware of the requirement to forward the resident council meeting minutes to the GO for action. The AD stated she handwrote the minutes for the resident council meetings and acknowledged the grievances and recommendations raised. The AD verbally communicated these issues to the Operations Manager (OM), the IDON, and the Dietary Services Supervisor (DSS), but noted that since it was not documented in writing, those individuals likely forgot. The GO stated that she could not adhere to the facility's policy and procedure titled Grievances, dated January 25, 2025, as she had not received the grievances and recommendations from the resident council meetings.During an interview with the OM and the Admin on December 4, 2025, at 8:04 AM, The OM and Admin stated it was the responsibility of the AD to provide the resident council meeting minutes to the GO, and it was the GO's responsibility to act upon the grievances and recommendations documented in the meeting minutes. The OM and Admin stated the facility had not acted promptly upon the resident council's grievances and recommendations. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Grievances, dated January 25, 2025, indicated, Policy: It is the policy of this facility to establish a grievance process to 1. Address resident concerns without fear of discrimination or reprisal. Such grievances include those with respect to care and treatment which has been furnished as well as that which has not been furnished, the behavior of staff and of other residents; and other concerns regarding their facility stay; and 2. Make prompt efforts to resolve grievances the resident may have. Procedures: 1. The facility's grievance official is responsible for overseeing the grievance process, receiving and tracking grievances; leading any necessary investigations by the facility; maintaining the confidentiality of all information associated with grievances; issuing written grievance decisions to the resident, if requested; and coordinating with state and federal agencies as necessary. 2. Resident and/or Resident Representatives have the right to file grievances orally or in writing, . 3. General concerns may be voiced at Resident Council meetings. 4. The Grievance Official evaluates and investigates the concern and takes immediate action to resolve the concern and prevent further potential violations of any resident's right while the alleged violation is being investigated. 6.

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. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan to ensure Resident 89's optimal physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being when Resident 89 displayed a behavior of aggressively chewing on the thumb and first three fingers of the left hand, and the first two fingers of the right hand.This failure resulted in damage to the fingernails on Resident 89's left hand.Findings:A review of Resident 89's face sheet (a document that gives a summary of resident's information), undated, indicated an admission date of October 3, 2023. Resident 89 had diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease (a progressive type of brain disease and is the most common cause of dementia) and dementia (an umbrella term for a collection of symptoms, such as memory loss, language problems, and impaired thinking skills, severe enough to interfere with daily life).During an observation and interview with Resident 89, Certified Nursing Assistants 2 and 3 (CNA 2 and 3) on December 1, 2025, from 4:05 PM to 4:35 PM, Resident 89 was in his room in bed and was wearing a short sleeve hospital gown with the blanket pulled up to his waist. The surveyor tried to engage Resident 89 in conversation, but Resident 89 made no eye contact nor spoke to the surveyor. Resident 89 was positioned in his bed, so he faced the wall to his right. Resident 89 was awake, staring at the wall and had his right two fore fingers in his mouth which he was aggressively chewing on and making vocalizations as he chewed. CNA 2 and CNA 3 stated the finger chewing had been an ongoing issue. They had attempted to give Resident 89 toys to hold and chew on, but Resident 89 would almost immediately drop the toy and forget about it. CNA 2 and CNA 3 explained that Resident 89 did not know to search for the toy once he had dropped it, so this approach had not been successful. CNA 2 stated he had asked the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) charge nurse for mittens, but nothing came of it. CNA 3 assisted in visualizing Resident 89's fingers, it was observed that the fingernails on the left hand's thumb and first three fingers were severely affected. They were misshapen and deformed, exhibiting significant yellow discoloration, thickening, brittleness, and a crumbly texture. Furthermore, some of the affected fingernails had separated from the underlying nail bed. CNA 3 stated Resident 89 had chewed his left hand fingers a lot and had just started chewing on his right hand. Resident 89's right two fore fingers' nails and skin still looked healthy.During an observation and interview with the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) on December 4, 2025, from 9:33 AM to 10:01 AM, the IDON stated she was not aware Resident 89's finger chewing had escalated to this point. The IDON stated there was no assessment on the fingernails on the Resident 89's left hand, This should have been picked up on the skin assessments and brought to the attention of the physician and then the wound nurse and it was not. The IDON stated when the CNAs did not get a response from the charge nurse they should have gone up the chain to the Registered Nurse (RN) supervisor and not waited this long to tell her on Monday December 1, 2025, that Resident 89 had a problem. The IDON stated there was no care plan to address this issue. After examining Resident 89's left hand fingernails, the IDON stated, This didn't happen overnight. The IDON stated Resident 89's finger-chewing behavior and nail deterioration should have been assessed and included in a care plan but were not.A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Planning, dated January 25, 2025, indicated, Policy Statement: 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. Policy Interpretation and Implementation: 1. The interdisciplinary team (IDT), in conjunction with the resident and his/her family or legal representative, develops and implements a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for each resident. 2.

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 Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide interpretive services to residents including Resident 45, whose primary language is other than English.This failure had the potential to compromise residents the ability to understand, comprehend, and effectively communicate their needs, rendering them unable to fully participate in their plan of care, likely leading to residents experiencing diminished self-esteem, social interaction withdrawal, and significant emotional distress.Findings:During an interview conducted on December 1, 2025, at 11:36 AM with Resident 45, it was revealed that Spanish is Resident 45's primary language, and he does not speak or understand English. Although he could respond to simple Yes/No questions spoken in English, he did so with visible hesitation and reservation. Resident 45 utilized his cell phone to contact his daughter, who subsequently assisted as a translator through the phone's speaker.Through his daughter's translation, Resident 45 communicated his frustration with being unable to convey his needs and preferences to the staff due to the language barrier. He expressed feeling more comfortable when Spanish-speaking staff members are available. However, he is not always assigned to Spanish-speaking staff due to staffing variances. This inconsistency in communication had contributed to his feelings of frustration and unease during his stay at the facility. Resident 45 indicated a strong preference for the facility to provide an interpreter to facilitate better communication and dialogue with staff members. He emphasized that having an interpreter would greatly enhance his overall experience through direct dialog with staff, ensuring that his needs and concerns are adequately addressed in a timely manner. A review of residents' 45 face sheet (a facility document that contains basic information about the resident) indicated he was admitted at the facility on January 7, 2025, with diagnoses which include hemiplegia with hemiparesis [weakness (hemiparesis) on one side of the body, ranging from mild to severe, often accompanied by complete paralysis (hemiplegia) on the same side, typically affecting the arm, leg, and sometimes face, due to brain injury disrupting nerve signals] following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side, aphasia (disorder caused by brain damage that affects a person's ability to communicate by interfering with their speech), unspecified intracranial injury (damage to the brain or its surrounding structures inside the skull) without loss of consciousness, lack of coordination, type 2 diabetes, neuropathy (nerve damage or disease, often in the hands and feet, that causes symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning pain, or muscle weakness), chronic kidney disease stage 4 (kidneys have severe damage and function at only 15-29% of normal), hypertension (high blood pressure), and major depressive disorder(a mood disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and a loss of interest in activities).A review of the Comprehensive Material Data Sheet (MDS contains demographic information, resident assessment and care screening) dated September 26, 2025, identified Resident 45 ethnicity as Hispanic and noted that his preferred language is Spanish, requiring an interpreter for communication with medical or healthcare staff.A review of the Resident 45's Care Plan indicated, the resident has a communication problem related to a language barrier, impaired hearing, neurological symptoms, impaired cognition, depression, and aphasia. However, there are no interventions addressing the language barrier.During an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) on December 1, 2025, at 3:22 PM, LVN 4 indicated that the facility does not provide interpretive services for residents who do not speak English. LVN 4 further stated that she utilizes the Google Translate App on her personal cell phone to communicate with these residents.During an interview with the Social Services Director (SSD) on December 1, 2025, at 3:49 PM, the SSD confirmed that the facility does not offer translation services for non-English speaking residents.

The Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Translation and/or Interpretation of Facility Services, undated, was reviewed with the SSD. The P&P states . 8. Competent oral translation of vital information that is not available in written translation, and non-vital information shall be provided in a timely manner and at no cost to the resident through the following means as available to the facility: . c. Contracted interpreter service; d. Voluntary community interpreters who are trained and competent in the skill of interpreting; and e. telephone interpretation service. The SSD acknowledged that the facility lacked interpreter services as of December 1, 2025, and agreed the facility's P&P was not followed. During an interview with the Operations Manager (OP) on December 3, 2025, at 8:58 AM, the OP acknowledged that the facility did not ensure non-English speaking residents could communicate effectively with staff through an interpreter as per the facility's policies and procedures.During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on December 4, 2025, 11:33 AM, the DON acknowledged that non-English speaking residents were unable to effectively communicate with staff and participate in their plan of care due to facility's failure to provide interpreter services as specified in facility's policy and procedure. The DON recognized that consistent provision of language support would not only enhance residents' comfort but also promote a more inclusive and supportive environment within the facility.During a follow-up interview with the Social Services Director (SSD) on December 4, 2025, at 2:22 PM, the SSD confirmed that a total of eight non-English speaking residents currently residing at the facility require interpreter services to effectively communicate with staff and participate in their plans of care. The SSD acknowledged that as of December 1, 2025, the facility lacked adequate interpreter services to meet residents' needs.

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** The facility failed to ensure that physician's orders were followed for one of one resident (resident 11) reviewed for antibiotic use when the monitoring and documentation of intake and output (I&O) was not done as ordered by the physician.This failure resulted in an incomplete assessment and monitoring of Resident 11's hydration status and fluid balance while on the antibiotic (medication used to treat infections). Findings:A review of Resident 11's admission Record (contains medical and demographic information), indicated Resident 11 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included pneumonia (a lung infection), quadriplegia (paralysis affecting all four limbs), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (a condition involving constriction of the airways and difficulty in breathing).During a review of Resident 11's care plan (an individualized plan for the medical care of a resident) titled, The resident has a Urinary Tract Infection r/t cloudy urine, lethargy (lack of energy) and generalized malaise (an overall feeling of being unwell), dated November 11, 2025, the care plan indicated, Goal.the resident will be free of symptoms of dehydration.Interventions.Encourage adequate fluid intake.During a review of Resident 11's care plan titled, The resident has potential for fluid deficit r/t [related to] PNA [pneumonia], dated October 4, 2025, the care plan indicated, Goal.The resident will be free of symptoms of dehydration.Interventions.Administer medications as ordered.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. 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 one of two residents (Resident 3) reviewed for pressure ulcers (injury to skin and underlying tissues that develops as a result of prolonged pressure, shear, or friction) had a low air loss mattress (LAL mattress - a specialized mattress which is air filled and is designed to help prevent and treat pressure ulcers) which was programmed to Resident 3's weight.This failure resulted in the low air loss mattress to not have the most therapeutic effect for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers and for Resident 3 to have increased risk for the development of new pressure ulcers and a delay in wound healing.Findings:A review of Resident 3's admission Record (contains medical and demographic information), indicated Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included heart failure, methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus infection (an infection caused by an antibiotic-resistant bacteria), diabetes mellitus type 2 (a metabolic disorder characterized by persistent high blood sugar levels), and cellulitis of the left and right lower limbs (a bacterial infection of the skins deeper layers and underlying tissues).During a concurrent observation and interview on December 1, 2025, at 10:58 AM, Resident 3 was lying in bed on a low air loss mattress. The mattress was set to 360 pounds (lbs - unit of measure). Resident 3 stated he weighed approximately 275 lbs and that he was on the LAL mattress because he occasionally had bed sores and pressure ulcers.During a concurrent observation and interview on December 1, 2025, at 11:03 AM, with the Interim Director of Nursing (DON), the DON reviewed Resident 3's Electronic Health Record (EHR) and stated Resident 3 weighed 276 lbs. The DON stated the setting of the LAL mattress was supposed to be according to the physician's order and if there was no specific setting indicated in the physician's order, it was supposed to be set to the resident's body weight. The DON reviewed Resident 3's order for the LAL mattress and stated since there were no parameters for settings in the order, Resident 3's LAL mattress was supposed to be set to his body weight. The DON further stated the LAL mattress and its appropriate use was important to help prevent skin breakdown and to promote healing of wounds.During a concurrent observation and interview on December 1, 2025, at 11:08 AM, with the DON, Resident 3's LAL mattress was observed to be set to 360 lbs. The DON acknowledged the mattress was set to 360 lbs and stated the mattress was supposed to be set to 240 lbs. The DON then showed a label on the LAL mattress unit which stated Setting 240.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide special eating equipment in the form of an adaptive drinking aid for one sampled resident (Resident 89) when Resident 89, diagnosed with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), was provided regular standard straws to drink thin fluids instead of a nosey cup (a cup with a U-shaped cutout on one side of the rim, which provides clearance for the nose and allows individuals to drink fluids without tilting their head or neck backward) during his lunch time meal. This failure had the potential to cause Resident 89 to choke, as standard straws deliver liquids quickly and encourage a head-back position that opens the airway. In contrast, the nosey cup encourages a chin-tucked position, reducing the risk of aspiration pneumonia an infection from fluids entering the lungs.Findings:A review of Resident 89's face sheet (a document that gives a summary of resident's information), undated, indicated an admission date of October 3, 2023. Resident 89 had diagnoses that included dysphagia.During a dining observation and interview with a Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) and Resident 89 on December 1, 2025, at 12:28 PM, Resident 89 was seated at a table in the dining room, and CNA 1 was helping him eat his lunch. A meal card on the table indicated that Resident 89 should use a nosey cup. However, he had a small milk carton with a regular straw and a regular cup of juice covered with cellophane, also with a regular straw poked through. CNA 1 helped Resident 89 drink using these regular straws and stated that Resident 89 did not have a nosey cup, but she did not know why.During an interview with the Dietary Supervisor (DS) on December 1, 2025, at 12:35 PM, the DS confirmed that Resident 89's meal card specified the use of a nosey cup, but this had not been provided. The DS acknowledged that she had not informed the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON), Resident 89's physician, or the Director of Rehabilitation (Dir/Rehab) that Resident 89 had declined and was no longer holding the nosey cup. In addition, the DS admitted to substituting regular straws without obtaining an Occupational Therapy (OT) assessment for straw use or requesting nursing staff to obtain a new dietary order from Resident 89's physician.A review of Resident 89's physician's order dated January 8, 2024, indicated, . nosey cup .During an interview with the IDON on December 1, 2025, at 12:40 PM, the IDON stated she had not been informed of Resident 89's decline and the subsequent need for a new OT evaluation for adaptive equipment, as well as a new physician's order reflecting the recommendations from the new OT evaluation. During an interview with the Dir/Rehab on December 4, 2025, at 10:51 AM, the Dir/Rehab stated Resident 89 should have been re-evaluated before replacing the nosey cup with regular straws, and a new physician's order reflecting the re-evaluation findings should have been obtained.

Laundry Staff 1 (LS 1) and the Housekeeping Lead (HL) did not follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the disinfectant (DS 1) used to disinfect soiled laundry carts and soiled laundry barrels. In addition, the facility staff did not clean and disinfect the clean linen carts located in the resident hallways. This failure had the potential to cause the development and transmission of communicable diseases (an illness or infection that can spread from one person to another, or from a surface to a person) and infections to residents.2.

The HL stated she was responsible for cleaning and disinfecting the dirty linen receptacles on the 400 hallway but did not clean and disinfect the clean linen carts, I think the CNAs do that. The HL stated she used a disinfectant (DS 1) on the hard plastic surfaces of the dirty linen receptacles and kept the surfaces wet for 10 minutes before wiping the surface down or letting it air dry. The HL stated she sprayed the mesh bags with the DS 1 but was unable to keep the mesh bags wet for 10 minutes and she was not aware of the directions for the DS 1 indicated to use on non-porous surfaces (a material that is sealed and does not have any tiny holes, pores, or crevices) only.
