Findings: a. During review of Resident 3's face sheet. The face sheet indicated Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis including but not limited to: arthritis (pain. swelling and stiffness of the joints) right knee infection, muscle weakness, and morbid obesity. During review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- standardized assessment screening tool) dated 12/11 2025, the MDS indicated Resident 3's cognition was intact. During review of Resident 3's clinical records, the clinical records did not include the resident had an AD. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/29/2026 at 3:36 PM with the Social Service Director (SSD), Resident 3's clinical records were reviewed. The clinical records indicated Resident 3 had an AD according to the Advance Health Care Directive Acknowledgement Form (AHCD). The SSD stated the AHCD form indicated Resident 3 has an AD, but it is not in their clinical records. The SSD stated it was important to have a copy of the AD in the Residents 3's chart to ensure their choices were honored. During review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Advance Directives dated December 2016, the P&P indicated the facility will comply with state and federal law regarding AD. Upon admission the resident will be provided with written information regarding acceptance or refusal of medical or surgical treatment. If there is an AD it will be placed in the resident's medical record. b. During a review of Resident 43's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 43 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including fibromyalgia (long term condition that causes widespread pain, extreme fatigue, and tenderness in muscles and joints throughout the body) and dementia (a gradual decline in mental ability usually caused by a brain disease). During a review of Resident 43's Minimum Data Set (MDS – a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 1/8/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 43 had impaired cognition (ability to (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.

During an interview on 1/29/2026 at 4:18 PM with the Social Services Director (SSD), the SSD stated the facility did not have a copy of Resident 6 or Resident 43's advanced health care directives. The SSD stated it was important to have a copy of the advanced health care directives to be able to follow the residents' (in general) wishes for treatment. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Advance Directives, dated 12/2016 the P&P indicated advance directives will be respected in accordance with state law and facility policy. d. During a review of Resident 44's AR, the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 44 on 12/19/2025 with diagnoses including displaced fracture of the upper end of right humerus (a break in the top of the right arm bone), subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing (a follow up visit after the initial, active treatment of a broken bone) and a history of falling. During a review of Resident 44's H&P dated 12/20/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 44 had decision making capabilities. During a review of Resident 44's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 44's cognitive skills for daily decision making were moderately impaired (makes poor decisions requiring cues or supervision). The MDS indicated Resident 44 was dependent on transfers, toileting, showering, and lower body dressing, substantial assist with upper body dressing, required moderate assistance with oral hygiene, and supervision with eating.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to inform one of one sampled resident's (Resident 64) physician (Medical Doctor [MD] 1) of Resident 64's change of condition (CoC, an alteration in a resident's physical health that differs from their previous baseline) when Resident 64 was observed with redness on Resident 64's left eye on 1/27/2026. This failure had the potential for Resident 64 not to receive adequate treatment for a potential infection in Resident 64's left eye.Findings: During a review of Resident 64's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 64 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a condition that occurs later in life and worsens with time in which brain cells degenerate; it is accompanied by memory loss, physical decline, and confusion).During a review of Resident 64's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 1/23/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 64's cognition (ability to understand and process information) was severely impaired and Resident 64 was dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff for activities of daily living.During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/27/2026 at 1:10 PM with Family Member (FM) 1, Resident 64's left eye was observed. FM 1 stated Resident 64's left eye appeared more red on this day than ever before. FM 1 stated Resident 64's left eye had been pink and/or red a few months ago when Resident 64 had shingles (painful, blistering skin rash caused by the chicken pox virus) on the left side of Resident 64's face.During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/28/2026 at 12:52 PM with FM 1, in Resident 64's room, Resident 64's left eye was observed with redness in the sclera (white outer coating of the eye that surrounds the cornea). FM 1 stated Resident 64's left eye looked red for a couple days and FM 1 informed Resident 64's nurse on 1/27/2026 of the redness. FM 1 stated Resident 64's nurse told FM 1 it would be taken care of, but FM 1 had not received any updates and did not know if there was planned treatment for the redness in Resident 64's left eye.During an observation on 1/29/2026 at 9:23 AM, Resident 64 had redness on Resident 64's left eye and the eye had white discharge (a combination of mucus, oil, skin cells, and debris that accumulate in the eye) on the lower lid.During an interview on 1/29/2026 at 2:37 PM with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated FM 1 mentioned Resident 64's eye redness to CNA 1 on 1/28/2026. CNA 1 stated CNA 1 offered to report Resident 64's eye redness to the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 6 on behalf of FM 1 but FM 1 declined because FM 1 spoke to the LVN 6 directly on 1/28/2026.During an interview on 1/29/2026 at 2:48 PM with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated LVN 3 had not received any report [from previous shifts] about Resident 64's eye redness and LVN 3 was not sure when the redness started. LVN 3 stated LVN 3 did not see Resident 64's eyes earlier in the shift. LVN 3 stated MD 1 had not been notified of Resident 64's eye redness. LVN 3 stated the nurse [LVN 6] who received the initial report from FM 1 should have notified Resident 64's doctor to rule out a potential infection.During a review of Resident 64's Progress Notes (PN), dated 1/27/2026 to 1/28/2026, there was no documented evidence indicating MD 1 was informed of Resident 64's eye redness.During a review of Resident 64's Situation Background Assessment Recommendation [SBAR] Communication Form and progress note (SBAR), dated 1/29/2026, timed at 2:30 PM, the SBAR indicated Resident 64 had redness and white discharge on the left eye.During a review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Change in a Resident's Condition or Status, the P&P indicated the facility promptly notifies the resident, his or her attending physician, and the resident representative of changes in the resident's medical/ mental condition and/or status.

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 adequate indications for psychotropic medication (medication used to treat mental health disorders [conditions that affect thinking, feeling, mood, and behavior]) use and failed to ensure specific psychotropic medication behavior monitoring (tracking expressions or indications of distress) was completed for two of five sampled residents (Residents 7 and 64).These failures had the potential to result in unmet medical, physical, mental, and psychosocial needs (the emotional and social requirements that individuals must have to feel safe, supported, and capable of functioning well in their environment) to Residents 7 and 64 and had the potential to result in Residents 7 and 64 receiving unnecessary medications.Findings: a.During a review of Resident 7's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 7 on 1/3/2026 with diagnoses including unspecified dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) and unspecified psychosis (a severe mental health condition in which thought, and emotions are so affected that contact is lost with reality) not due to a substance or known physiological condition (the body's natural, healthy operating state). During a review of Resident 7's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/4/2026, the H&P indicated Resident 7 did not have decision making capacities. During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 1/15/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 7's cognitive (the ability to think and process information) skills for daily decision making were moderately impaired (makes poor decisions requiring cues or supervision). The MDS indicated Resident 7 required substantial assistance with lower body dressing, toileting, showering, sitting to lying, and lying to sitting on the side of bed, partial assist with upper body dressing and oral hygiene, supervision assistance with eating, and was dependent with chair and toilet transfers. During a review of Resident 7's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated active as of 1/29/2026, the OSR indicated the following physician orders: 1.Quetiapine fumarate (medication used to treat mental health disorders) 25 milligrams (mg- a unit of measurement) for psychosis manifested by agitation (a feeling of irritability, mental distress, or severe restlessness) with a start date of 1/16/2026 2.Monitor behavior for psychosis manifested by agitation and tally by hashmark (marking vertical lines for each item on the medication administration record) for quetiapine use with a start date of 1/15/2026. During an interview on 1/29/2026 at 11:57 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4, LVN 4 stated agitation could be manifested by many different behaviors. LVN 4 stated it was important to monitor specific behaviors [e.g., could include: pacing, fidgeting, irritability, restlessness, muscle tension, shouting, or hostility] for Resident 7 to ensure Resident 7 received the correct amount of medication and if Resident 7 did not exhibit the specific behaviors, the facility could lower the medication's dose.

F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some psychotropic medications, behavior manifestation had to be specific for the resident (in general). The DON stated [manifested by agitation as indicated in the OSR] was not a specific indication for [psychotropic] medication use for Resident 7. The DON stated it was important to address the Resident's specific medical needs to ensure Resident 7 received the proper medical care. During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Antipsychotic Medication [medications used to manage symptoms of psychosis] Use, the P&P's policy statement indicated, Antipsychotic medications may be considered for residents with dementia but only after medical, physical, functional, psychological, emotional psychiatric, social and environmental causes of behavioral symptoms have been identified and addressed. The P&P's policy interpretation and implementation indicated, Residents will only receive antipsychotic medications when necessary to treat specific conditions for which they are indicated and effective. The attending physician will identify, evaluate, and document with input from other disciplines and consultants as needed, symptoms that may warrant the use of antipsychotic medications. b. During a review of Resident 64's AR, the AR indicated Resident 64 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a condition that occurs later in life and worsens with time in which brain cells degenerate; it is accompanied by memory loss, physical decline, and confusion). During a review of Resident 64's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 64's cognition was severely impaired, and Resident 64 was dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff for activities of daily living. During a review of Resident 64's OSR, dated active as of 1/30/2026, the OSR indicated Resident 64 had a physician order for Olanzapine (medication used to treat schizophrenia [a long term severe mental disorder affecting how a person thinks, feels, and behaves, often causing them to lose touch with reality] or bipolar disorder [a long term mental condition characterized by extreme, often disabling, shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels]) give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for bipolar disorder manifested by manic episodes (periods of abnormally, persistently elevated, or irritable mood and extremely high energy, lasting at least a week or requiring hospitalization) with start date 1/19/2026. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/30/2026 at 12:15 PM with LVN 3, Resident 64's physician order for Olanzapine was reviewed. LVN 3 stated manic episodes could mean screaming, striking, and acting out of control. LVN 3 stated the order did not indicate a specific behavior presented by Resident 64 and another staff member could have a different idea of how manic episodes were presented. LVN 3 stated the behavior listed in the physician order should be specific to make it clear to all staff what Resident 64 was doing [specific behaviors] and to ensure accurate [behavior] tracking. During an interview on 1/30/2026 at 2:22 PM with the DON, the DON stated Resident 64's order for Olanzapine did not indicate a specific behavior [or indication for use] to monitor. The DON stated it was important to indicate specific behavior [and indication for medication use] for staff to know what to monitor and to help ensure Resident 64 was on the correct medication. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Antipsychotic Medication Use, undated, the P&P indicated residents will only receive antipsychotic medications when necessary to treat specific conditions for which they are indicated and effective.

During a review of Resident 57's CP, initiated 12/1/2025, the CP indicated Resident 57 had the potential for nutritional problems related to hospice care.During a review of Resident 57's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 12/2/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 57's cognitive (the ability to think and process information) was severely impaired. The MDS indicated the Resident 57 was totally dependent on staff for transfers and toilet use, and required extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, and hygiene.During a review of Resident 57's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated active as of 12/13/2025, the OSR indicated a physician's order, dated 12/13/2025, for Resident 57 to be admitted to hospice under MD (Medical Doctor) care on routine level of care with primary diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease (various heart conditions caused by long term high blood pressure).During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/30/2026 at 11:58 AM, with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC), the MDSC stated the MDSC could not find a hospice CP for Resident 57 that included the most recent hospice plan of care. The MDSC stated [developing] a hospice CP was important because the CP showed how to care for Resident 57 and [helped with] communication with the staff [to follow the] plan of care for the resident.During a review of the facility's revised policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Hospice Program revised July 2017, the P&P indicated coordinated care plans for residents receiving hospice services will include the most recent hospice plan of care as well as the care and services provided by our facility (including the responsible provider and discipline assigned to specific tasks) in order to maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being.

Findings: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to revise Resident 6's CP related to G-tube and nutrition after Resident 6's g-tube was removed.During a review of Resident 6's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including dysphagia, oropharyngeal phase (a swallowing disorder affecting the mouth and throat) and heart failure (the inability of the heart to pump blood effectively.)During a review of Resident 6's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 6 had intact cognition (ability to understand and process information) and required partial or moderate assistance (helper does less than half of the effort) for toileting and bathing. The MDS indicated Resident 6 had a feeding tube on admission and received 26-50% of total calories through the feeding tube.During a review of Resident 6's Care Plan Report (CPR) initiated [DATE], the CPR indicated Resident 6 had a nutritional problem or potential nutritional problem related to g-tube feeding and other co-morbidities (two or more illnesses or health conditions existing in the same person at the same time.) The CPR interventions included for staff to explain and reinforce to the resident the importance of maintaining the diet ordered.During a review of Resident 6's Care Plan Report (CPR) dated [DATE], the CPR indicated Resident 6 was admitted to the facility with G-tube site on abdomen. The goal on the CPR indicated the facility will maintain without complications until next review date, [DATE].During a review of Resident 6's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated active as of [DATE] the OSR indicated a physician order for regular diet, soft and bite sized texture, regular consistency, and double protein with start date [DATE]. The OSR also indicated a physician order to have skilled wound care remove gastrostomy tube with order date [DATE].During an interview on [DATE] at 12:03 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, LVN 3 stated LVN 3 could not find a revision for Resident 6's CP related to g-tube. LVN 3 stated Resident 6's CP related to g-tube should have been revised when the g-tube was removed to ensure the g-tube site was monitored for healing and signs of infection. LVN 3 also stated Resident 6's CP related to nutrition should have been revised when Resident 6's g-tube was removed because Resident 6's diet had changed.During an interview on [DATE] at 1:30 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident 6's CPs should have been revised when the g-tube was removed to indicate Resident 6's current nutritional status and help direct Resident 6's treatment.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, undated the P&P indicated the interdisciplinary team must review and update the care plan: a. when there has been a significant change in the resident's condition.

The MDS indicated a diagnosis of BPD.During a review of Resident 64's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/17/2026, and signed by Resident 64's Medical Doctor (MD) 1, the H&P indicated Resident 64 had dementia/ Alzheimer's with worsening behavioral issues.During a review of Resident 64's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated active as of 1/30/2026, the OSR indicated Resident 64 had a physician order for olanzapine, give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for BPD manifested by manic episodes (a period of abnormally high energy, elevated or irritable mood, and increased activity, lasting at least a week, that significantly disrupt daily life and functioning) with start date 1/19/2026.During an interview on 1/30/2026 at 12:15 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, LVN 3 stated upon admission, Resident 64 presented with agitation: screaming, yelling out, and striking at staff. LVN 3 stated Resident 64 was also resistant to care like showering. LVN 3 stated Resident 64 was taking olanzapine for BPD manifested by manic episodes which LVN 3 described as screaming, striking, and acting out of control. LVN 3 stated Resident 64 also had an active urinary tract infection (UTI, common infection in the urine caused by bacteria entering the urinary system) on admission and that could have been a possible cause of Resident 64's behavior. LVN 3 stated Resident 64 is calmer and more cooperative now compared to behavior noted on admission.During an interview on 1/30/2026 at 2:11 PM with Resident 64's physician (Medical Doctor [MD]) 1, MD 1 stated Resident 64 did not have a diagnosis of BPD the facility might have added the diagnosis of BPD by mistake. MD 1 stated Resident 64 was taking olanzapine at home and MD 1 continued the medication at the facility due to Resident 64's history of Alzheimer's with psychosis. MD 1 stated MD 1 planned to discontinue the medication because Resident 64 was doing well at the facility.During an interview on 1/30/2026 at 2:22 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the medications a resident presented with on admission did not always list the indication for medication use. The DON stated, upon admission, the admitting nurse (in general) tried to find a diagnosis to correlate to the medication if the diagnosis was not already indicated [in the admission records]. The DON stated the admitting nurse (unidentified) made a mistake writing bipolar disorder as the indication for Resident 64's olanzapine medication [in Resident 64's OSR].During a review of the facility's undated P&P titled, Antipsychotic Medication Use, the P&P indicated antipsychotic medications may be considered for residents with dementia but only after medical, physical, functional, psychological, emotional psychiatric, social and environmental causes of Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555832 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 19 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 555832 B.

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 resident's low air loss (LAL composed of multiple inflatable air tubes that alternately inflate and deflate, mimicking the movement of a patient shifting in bed or being rotated by a caregiver, never leaving the patient in one position for any extended length of time) mattress was set to the correct setting for one of one sample resident (Resident 5).This deficient practice placed Resident 5 at risk for discomfort and the potential for developing pressure ulcers.During a review of Resident 5's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 5 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included encounter for palliative care (a specialized medical care for people living with a serious illness, focused on relieving symptoms, pain, and stress to improve quality of life for both the patient and their families), Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements), malaise (a general, vague feeling of being unwell, uncomfortable, or off, often described as a lack of energy or the blahs) and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (a condition where damage to the brain, spinal cord, or nerves disrupts the signals required for proper bladder function) among other diagnoses.During a review of Resident 5's History and Physical (H&P), dated 3/25/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 5 had a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.During a review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 11/28/2025, the MDS indicated the resident was severely impaired in cognitive (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and senses) skills. The MDS also indicated the resident was totally dependent on staff for transfers, toilet use and required extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing and hygiene.During a review of Resident 5's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 1/27/2026, the OSR indicated Resident 5 had a physician's order, dated 7/3/2025, for Resident 5's low air loss mattress to be monitored every shift for proper functioning and for offloading and pressure relief.During an observation on 1/27/2026 at 9:24 AM, in Resident 5's room, Resident 5 was asleep in bed. Resident 5's LAL mattress was on and the setting was at 450 pounds (lbs. unit used to measure weight and mass).During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/27/2026 at 9:30 AM, with License Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2, LVN 2 stated that Resident 5 had a physician's order for LAL mattress and for staff to check the LAL for pressure relief and monitoring for proper functioning every shift. LVN 2 stated he had not checked the Resident 5's LAL mattress and he is on his way to check the LAL mattress. LVN 2 checked the LAL mattress and stated it was set for 450 lbs. and locked. LVN 2 stated the red sticker on top of the machine indicates 150 lbs. as the corrected setting. LVN 2 changed the LAL mattress's setting to the weight of 150 lbs. LVN 2 stated that at the setting of 450 lbs., the mattress is too firm for Resident 5 and the firmness can cause pressure injuries and redness to Resident 5's skin.
