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 20 sampled residents (Resident
105) was provided with an adaptive call light (specialized device for patients with limited mobility) upon
admission.This failure put Resident 105's at risk for falls, delay of care, and emotional
neglect.Findings:During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/26/26 at 2:14 pm at Resident 105's
bedside, Resident 105 was able to mouthed the words that he did not have a call light and could not move
his body.During a review of Resident 105's admission Record (Face sheet), dated 1/28/26, the admission
record indicated Resident 105 was admitted on [DATE]. Resident 105's diagnosis included hemorrhagic
stroke (bleeding in the brain), quadriplegic (paralysis from the neck down, including legs, and arms, usually
due to a spinal cord injury), respiratory failure (lung disease) and GERD (indigestion).During a review of
Resident 105's Physical Therapy (PT) Initial Evaluation, dated 1/26/26, the PT evaluation indicated
Resident 105 was unable to mobilize his neck, bilateral upper extremities (both arms) and bilateral lower
extremities (both legs) so a trial of sip and puff call light (breath operated call light) was
recommended.During an interview on 1/26/26 at 2:18 pm with Resident 105's family member (FM1), FM1
stated Resident 105 was admitted on [DATE] and has not had a call light to call staff for assistance.During a
concurrent observation and interview on 1/26/26 at 2:28 pm at Resident 105's bedside with the Social
Worker1(SW1), SW1 stated Resident 105 did not have a call light that was accessible and he should have
had one upon admission. SW1 stated that Resident 105 was at risk of his needs not being met because he
didn't have an accessible call light.During an interview on 1/28/26 at 3:54 pm with Nursing Manager 1 (NM
1), NM 1 stated all residents upon admission should have a call light that is accessible, so they can
communicate their needs to the staff.During an interview on 1/30/26 at 12:12 pm with the Director of
Nursing (DON), the DON stated all residents upon admission should have a call light. The DON stated he
was made aware that Resident105 did not have a call light that was appropriate for Resident 105's medical
condition. The DON stated there was a potential for Resident 105's needs not to be met when not having
the proper call light.During a review of the facility's policy & procedure (P&P) Call light Responsibilities
(undated), the P&P indicated the purpose was to ensure the safety of all residents and timely response to
call lights. The P&P indicated it is the responsibility of the Licensed Nurse/Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA),
when admitting the resident, to explain the use of the call light, the emergency light in the bathroom, and
the intercom at the nurse station.

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** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident (Resident 10) had a
Level 2 Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR-a federal assessment requirement to help
ensure that individuals who have a mental disorder or intellectual disabilities are placed in facilities that can
provide the appropriate care) assessment done when diagnosed with a mental illness prior to
admission.This failure had the potential to result in Resident 10 not receiving the necessary services and
appropriate psychiatric level of treatment and evaluation in the facility.Findings:During a review of Resident
10's Face Sheet, the Face Sheet indicated Resident 10 was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident
10 had diagnoses including cerebral palsy (the most common motor disability in childhood, affecting
movement, balance, and posture), intellectual disability (a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by
significant limitations in both intellectual functioning (such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving) and
adaptive behavior (practical, social, and everyday life skills), pneumonia (a common lung infection that
causes the tiny air sacs in one or both lungs to become inflamed and fill with fluid or pus) and chronic
respiratory failure (a long term condition where the lungs cannot properly oxygenate blood or remove
carbon dioxide).During a review of Resident 10's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool),
dated 11/5/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 rarely had the ability to make self-understood and to
understand others. The MDS indicated Resident 10 was severely impaired (refers to a significant, long-term
(12 plus months) physical or mental limitation that severely restricts an individual's ability to perform basic
work activities or age-appropriate daily functions) regarding task of daily life. The MDS indicated Resident
10 was dependent (a person or a thing that relies on another for support, existence, or determination) on
nursing staff for eating, oral hygiene, toileting, and showering. The MDS indicated Resident 10 was
dependent on nursing staff with dressing, putting on and taking off footwear, personal hygiene and rolling
from left to right.During a review of Resident 10's Notice of PASARR Level 1 Screening Results, dated
11/4/2025, the Notice of PASARR Level 1 Screening Results indicated Resident 10 was positive for
intellectual disability, developmental disability (a group of diverse, lifelong conditions caused by impairments
in physical, learning, language, or behavior), or related conditions. The Notice of PASARR Level 1
Screening Results indicated Resident 10 required a PASARR Level 2 Mental Health Evaluation Referral for
intellectual disability, developmental disability, or related conditions. During an interview on 1/30/2026 at
9:12 a.m. with Registered Nurse (5), RN 5 stated she reviewed Resident 10's diagnoses, medication and
mental status for appropriate admission to the facility. RNS 5 stated if a resident has a diagnosis of any
mental illness, or psychiatric issues these residents would need a Level 2 PASARR evaluation. RN 5 stated
Resident 10 needed a Level 2 PASARR Mental Health Evaluation. RN 5 stated Resident 10 needed a level
2 evaluation referral to address and to receive appropriate care and services. RN 5 stated Resident 10's
Notice of PASARR Level 1 Screening Results were not reviewed accurately. During a concurrent interview
and record review on 1/30/2026 at 12:08 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 10's Notice of
PASARR Level 1 Screening Results, dated 11/4/2025, was reviewed. The Notice of PASARR Level 1
Screening Results indicated a Level 2 Mental health Evaluation Referral for intellectual disability,
developmental disability, or related conditions was needed. The DON stated this was missing. The DON
stated the negative outcome of not receiving an evaluation referral resulted in Resident 10 not receiving the
appropriate level of care.During a review of the Facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P), titled South Division
Care Management Standard Work, revised date 9/2024, the P&P indicated the Person completing the
screening must submit in the system as soon as possible. Level 1

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
interview and record review the facility failed to develop and implement an individualized and
person-centered care plan for two of six residents (Resident 8 and Resident 15) by failing to:a. Develop a
new care plan when Resident 8 rash reoccurred.b. Implement the care plan for monitoring Resident 15's
inappropriate sexual behavior and providing a psychiatric (relating to mental illness and its treatment)
consult to assess Resident 15's behavior.These failures had the potential to put Resident 8 and Resident
15 at risk not to receive the necessary care and services to meet their needs which could compromise
Resident 8 and Resident 15 physical and psychosocial well-being.Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 8's Face Sheet (front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic
information about the resident) dated 1/28/2026. The Face Sheet indicated that Resident 8 was admitted on
[DATE] to the facility.
During a review of Resident 8's History and Physical (H&P), dated 4/14/25, the H&P indicated Resident 8
was in a persistent vegetative state. The H&P indicated Resident 8 had the diagnosis including quadriplegia
(paralysis from the neck down, including legs, and arms, usually due to a spinal cord injury), chronic
respiratory failure (lung disease), ventilator dependent (machine that moves air in and out of the lungs) and
diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing).
During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS – a federally mandated resident
assessment tool) dated 9/12/2025. The MDS indicated Resident 8 was cognitively impaired. The MDS
indicated Resident 8 was totally dependent (staff member does all the work) with activities of daily living
(ADLs such as toileting, dressing and personal hygiene).
During a review of Resident 8's Order Summary Report dated 1/19/2026. The order summary report
indicated Resident 8 was prescribed, vitamin A & D (topical ointment) apply to left and right upper arm, left
and right upper leg, left and right groin (lower stomach meets the inner thigh) areas BID start date
1/19/2026 end date 1/26/2026.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/27/2026 with RN 4, Resident 8's weekly wound
assessment dated [DATE] and vitamin A&D order dated 1/19/2026 was reviewed. RN 4 stated Resident 8's
rash resolved to left lateral back, left upper back, left lateral leg, left upper quadrant, right lateral back and
right medial leg on 12/23/25 and that on 1/18/2026 Resident 8's rashes came back to left and right upper
arm left, left and right groin areas. RN 4 stated she should have started a new care plan when the rashes
started on 1/18/2026. RN 4 stated a care plan is a guideline on how the staff are going to take care of the
residents, if there is no care plan there is no goal there is a risk of residents not being healed because staff
won't know the plan of care.
During an interview on 1/30/26 at 7:50 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated the
moment the rashes come back the care plan should have been started, that is where we reflect the
treatment and the plan to care for the residents. The care plan is the general rule to guide the staff when
providing care to the residents.
During a review of facility's policy and procedure(P&P) titled, Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 1/2026, the

will implement appropriate treatment to assist in attaining or maintaining quality of life and according to
residents' goals and preferences.
b. During a review of Resident 15's Face Sheet, the Face Sheet indicated the resident was admitted on
[DATE] to the facility. Resident 15's diagnosis included Pneumonia (PNA-an infection/inflammation in the
lungs), muscular dystrophy (group of diseases that muscles weaker and tighter over time making harder to
move), chronic respiratory failure (long-term condition where the body cannot maintain healthy levels of
oxygen and carbon dioxide on its own) requiring use of nocturnal mechanical ventilation (use of breathing
machine at night) through a tracheostomy(procedure to help air and oxygen reach the lungs by creating an
opening into the windpipe from outside the neck).
During a review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 15 had an
intact cognition (thought process) and used a manual or electric wheelchair as a mobility device (any
device or equipment that helps a person with limited mobility, injuries or limited strength to move around
more easily, safely and independently). The MDS indicated Resident 15 required partial/moderate
assistance (helper or caregiver provides less than half the effort to complete the activity with bathing, upper
body dressing (ability to dress and undress above the waist) and toileting hygiene.
During a review of Resident 15's Care Plan titled, Identify Related Risk Factors and Signs and Symptoms,
dated 9/25/2025 and end date of 4/8/2026, the Care Plan indicated the patient was verbally inappropriate
towards staffs, calling staff names and making sexual remarks. The Care Plan indicated Resident 15 asked
female staff to clean his private area despite the resident was able to do it. The Care Plan interventions
included monitoring Resident 15's behavior every shift and providing psychiatric consult as needed.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/28/2026 at 3:46 p.m. with the Social Worker (SW)1,
Resident 15's Progress Notes of Social Worker dated 9/18/2025 and 10/23/2025 were reviewed. SW 1
stated Resident 15 showed inappropriate sexual behavior towards female Certified Nursing Assistants
(CNAs) especially young women. SW 1 stated Resident 15 was assigned male CNAs because he wanted
female CNAS to touch him on his private area. SW 1 stated the Resident 15 could clean his private area by
himself but asked female CNAs to do it. SW 1 stated he was not aware if the physician was notified about
his inappropriate sexual behavior towards female CNAs. SW 1 stated no psychiatric consult was provided
to address the behavior.
During an interview on 1/28/2026 at 10:25 a.m. with Nurse Manager (NM) 1, NM 1 stated Resident 15's
inappropriate sexual behavior towards the female CNAs started on 5/1/2025. NM 1 stated three female
CNAs had come to him and were concerned of Resident 15's inappropriate sexual behavior. NM 1 stated
Resident 15 liked young female CNAs and disliked old CNAs. NM 1 stated the facility had to take immediate
action because of sexual harassment and immediately pulled all three CNAs from taking care of Resident
15. NM 1 stated Resident 15 was now assigned to male CNAs, but sometimes female CNAs were assigned
due to inadequate number of male CNAs.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/29/2026 at 12:06 p.m. with NM1, Resident 15 Plan of
Care Note dated 5/1/2025, Progress Notes, Plan of Care Notes and Care Plan titled Identify Related Risk
Factors and Signs and Symptoms were reviewed. NM 1 stated the facility documented the inappropriate
sexual behavior of Resident on 9/23/2025. NM 1 stated interventions of the Care Plan included monitoring
of Resident 15's behavior every shift. NM 1 stated there was no documentation

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 dependent residents received timely
and appropriate Activities of Daily Living (ADL-activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person
performs daily) care for three of six sampled residents (Resident 42, Resident 51 and Resident 72). The
facility failed to:1.Provide incontinent care to Resident 51 and Resident 72 in a timely manner and not leave
the residents with soiled incontinence briefs (absorbent, disposable underwear with fastening tabs on both
sides) for an extended time.2. Suction (a procedure that is done to help keep a resident ‘s airway open and
free of mucus) Resident 42 ‘s mouth and right nostril who required suctioning to keep airway (the path that
air and oxygen to get in and out of the body) clear from secretions (phlegm and saliva).These failures
placed Resident 51 and Resident 72 at risk for discomfort, increased risk for skin breakdown, infection and
had the potential to put Resident 42 at risk for shortness of breath and aspiration pneumonia (lung infection
caused by breathing food, liquid, vomiting or saliva into the lungs).Findings:1. During an observation on
1/26/2026 at 3:34 p.m. and subsequent observation on 1/26/2026 at 3:52 p.m. in Resident 51's room,
Resident 51 was lying in bed , grimaced and turned her back to the right side where a large amount of
brown soft stool ( feces- waste material produced during digestion and expelled from the body through the
rectum and anus) was seen on resident's buttocks, brown stool and urine were present in the under pad
(disposable or reusable highly absorbent sheet) and resident's gown. There was a strong smell of stool
present in the room.During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/26/2026 at 4:22 p.m. with Certified
Nursing Assistant (CNA)1, CNA1 entered Resident 51's room and stated there was a strong smell of stool
present in the room. CNA1 stated the last time she had seen Resident 51 was around 1:00 p.m. and had
not seen Resident 51 for the last three hours because her assignments are heavy.During a review of
Resident 51's Face Sheet ( front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the
resident), the Face Sheet indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including urinary
tract infection (UTI- an infection in the bladder / urinary tract), traumatic brain injury (TBI-damage to the
brain caused by an external force causing disruption of normal brain function), cervical neck fracture(
broken bone in the neck), percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy(PEG- feeding tube inserted directly into
the stomach to provide a way to deliver nutrition, fluids and medications), and functional quadriplegia
(complete inability to move due to extreme frailty or severe chronic disability).During a review of Resident
51's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 1/12/2026, the MDS indicated the
resident had moderately impaired cognitive skills (a person has noticeable ongoing trouble with thinking,
memory and learning that goes beyond normal aging) and was dependent (the resident required full
assistance from the staff to complete an activity)on staff with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, bathing,
dressing and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 51 was always incontinent (having no or
insufficient voluntary control over urination or defecation [movement of feces through the bowel and out the
anus]) of urine and stool and at risk for developing pressure ulcer or injury (localized damage to the skin
and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence).During a review of Resident 51's Care Plan titled
Altered Urinary Elimination/At risk for Skin Breakdown, dated 8/7/2024 and end date 4/26/2026, the Care
Plan indicated Resident 51 was totally incontinent of bladder function related to impaired cognition,
communication and mobility. The Care Plan interventions included providing good perineal care (cleansing
the genital and anal areas to prevent infection, skin breakdown and odor) every shift especially after
episode of incontinence.During an observation on 1/26/2026 at 2:29 p.m. in Resident 72's room, Resident
72 was lying in bed

dressing and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 72 was always incontinent of urine and stool
and at risk of developing pressure injury.During a review of Resident 72's Care Plan titled, Skin Health and
Integrity, revised and updated 9/29/2025, the Care Plan indicated Resident 72 remained at risk to develop
pressure ulcer or skin breakdown related to incontinence. The Care Plan interventions included providing
good skin care every shift, especially after each episode of incontinence.During an interview on 1/26/2026
at 4:35 p.m. with CNA 1, CNA1 stated the nursing staff is expected to make rounds on all residents every
two hours. CNA 1 stated repositioning, checking residents' safety and checking if a resident needs to be
cleaned or changed if they are soiled with urine and stool. CNA 1 stated on 1/26/2026, the last time she
had seen Resident 72 was at 1:30 p.m. and Resident 51 before 1:00 p.m. CNA 1 stated both Resident 51
and Resident 72 would not be able to call for help by using the call lights because of their cognition
(thought process). CNA 1 stated the staff need to come and check the residents to ensure their needs are
met or taken care of. CNA 1 stated she should have asked for assistance from other staff because she was
running behind with her work and had not changed the residents in a timely manner. CNA1 stated Resident
51 and Resident 72 could be at risk of developing pressure injury, skin rashes because of not cleaning
them in a timely manner after an incontinent episode.During an interview on 1/26/2026 at 4:16 p.m. with the
Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 5, LVN 5 stated CNAs and licensed nurses make rounds every 2 or three
hours which involved checking all residents if they are clean or repositioned. LVN 5 stated the last time she
saw Resident 72 was at 2:00 pm but did not check if Resident 72 needed to be changed or cleaned. LVN 5
stated the rooms of Resident 72 and Resident 51 had the smell of stool and leaving residents lying in soiled
incontinent briefs with stool and urine for an extended time can lead to development of skin breakdown or
skin impairment because stool and urine can cause skin irritation.During an interview on 1/28/2026 at 3:20
p.m. with the Registered Nurse (RN) 2, RN 2 stated CNAs, LVNs and RNs should make rounds every 2
hours for repositioning and checking any episodes of bowel or bladder incontinence. RN2 stated the staff
should enter the room and physically check all residents from the back and if their incontinence briefs are
dry or soiled. RN 2 stated all staff can help clean residents or assist them with their ADLs. RN 2 stated
Resident 51 and Resident 72 could be at risk for skin injury or damage due to moisture created by stool
and urine in the skin if incontinent care was not provided in a timely manner. RN 2 stated the residents who
are not attended in a timely manner could feel miserable and unhappy with their care.During an interview
on 1/30/2026 at 11:20 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated residents that are not
cleaned and changed after an incontinent episode in a timely manner could cause discomfort, and

residents could be at risk for pressure injury due to the acidic nature of stool and urine.2.During an
observation on 1/26/2026 at 11:47 a.m. in Resident 42's room, Resident 42 was lying upright in bed
receiving oxygen 28 % (percent- concentration of oxygen) through a T Bar (T shaped device attached
directly to the tracheostomy tube [ a small, curved plastic or metal tube inserted through a surgically
created opening in the neck directly into the windpipe] to deliver humidified oxygen). Resident 42 was
observed with clear secretions bubbling and dripping down on both sides of the mouth. Resident 42's right
nostril was observed with thick greenish yellow mucus discharge.During a review of Resident 42's Face
Sheet, the Face Sheet indicated Resident 42 was admitted on [DATE] to the facility with diagnoses
including chronic respiratory failure(long term, progressive condition where the lungs become unable to
supply enough oxygen or remove enough carbon dioxide from the body), tracheostomy status, anoxic
encephalopathy( serious brain injury caused by a total lack of oxygen reaching the brain_, gastrostomy
tube (a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach
common for people with swallowing problems) dependent, and diabetes mellitus(DM- a disorder
characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing).During a review of Resident 42's
MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 42 was comatose (unconscious and unable to
communicate often for a long period of time) and was dependent on staff with oral hygiene, toileting
hygiene and bathing.During a review of Resident 42's Care Plan titled, Signs and symptoms of Listed
Potential Problems will be Absent or Manageable, dated 12/1/2015 and end date of 4/9/2026, the Care
Plan indicated Resident 42 had a tracheostomy tube due to chronic respiratory failure. The Care Plan
interventions included providing oral care regularly, suctioning to reduce the risk of infection and monitoring
for airway patency (clear, open and unobstructed passage for air to travel from the nose or mouth through
the pharynx and into the lungs).During an interview on 1/28/2026 at 11:33 a.m. with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated all
nursing staff could provide oral care to residents and performed twice a shift. LVN 3 stated residents are
suctioned as needed and the frequency of suctioning depends on the amount of secretions. LVN 3 stated
Resident 42 could aspirate his secretions, and his work of breathing can get worse if he is not suctioned in
a timely manner.During an interview on 1/28/2025 at 4:43 p.m. with the Respiratory Therapist (RT)1, RT 1
stated Respiratory Therapist make rounds every 4 hours. RT 1 stated Resident 42 did not have a lot of
secretions and saw Resident 42 on 1/26/2026 at 7:30 a.m. RT 1 stated licensed nurses could suction
Resident 42 orally (via mouth) and nasally (via nose). RT 1 stated suctioning is provided to residents who
are dependent on care to ensure their airway is clear. RT 1 stated not providing suctioning in a timely
manner who had secretions in the mouth and nose can lead to aspiration pneumonia.During an interview
on 1/29/2026 at 10:09 a.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated CNAs and LVNs
could change the residents if needed when the CNA is busy because they should work as a team. The
DSD stated residents should not be left soiled with stool and urine for more than 5 minutes because it can
cause skin injury to the residents. The DSD stated rounding should be performed by CNAs and licensed
nurses every 2 hours and should check the residents physically especially the residents who had impaired
cognition. The DSD stated Resident 42 should be suctioned and leaving him with secretions on the mouth
and right nostril area was unacceptable because that is part of resident's hygiene.During a review of
facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Incontinent Resident, Care of, revised 12/2024, the P&P
indicated the facility will ensure incontinent residents received appropriate care to prevent incontinence
complications and is the responsibility of CNA to ensure care is provided. The P&P indicated incontinent
residents should be checked periodically to ensure they are not left wet or soaked for prolonged
periods.During a review of facility's P&P titled, Respiratory Care Services:

Ensure each resident must receive and the facility must provide necessary behavioral health care and
services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 15) with
behavioral problems was adequately monitored and received the necessary care and services by failing
to:Monitor Resident 15's inappropriate sexual behavior towards female and implement plan of care.Provide
psychiatric (relating to mental illness and its treatment) care to evaluate and assess Resident 15's
inappropriate sexual behavior.This failure placed Resident 15 at risk with a delay in psychosocial (having to
do with the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person's life) needs/care which had the potential
for worsening behavior that could pose a danger to other residents.Findings:During a review of Resident
15's Face Sheet (front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the resident)
the Face Sheet indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] to the facility. Resident 15 had diagnoses
including Pneumonia (PNA-an infection/inflammation in the lungs) muscular dystrophy(group of diseases
that muscles weaker and tighter over time making harder to move) and chronic respiratory failure
(long-term condition where the body cannot maintain healthy levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide on its
own) requiring use of nocturnal mechanical ventilation (use of breathing machine at night)through
tracheostomy(procedure to help air and oxygen reach the lungs by creating an opening into the windpipe
from outside the neck).During a review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set (MDS- resident assessment
tool) dated 12/30/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 15 had an intact cognition (thought process) and used
a manual or electric wheelchair as a mobility device( any device or equipment that helps a person with
limited mobility, injuries or limited strength to move around more easily, safely and independently). The MDS
indicated Resident 15 required partial/moderate assistance (helper or caregiver provides less than half the
effort to complete the activity with bathing, upper body dressing (ability to dress and undress above the
waist) and toileting hygiene.During a review of Resident 15's Care Plan titled, Identify Related Risk Factors
and Signs and Symptoms, with start date of 9/25/2025 and end date of 4/8/2026, the Care Plan indicated
Resident 15 was verbally inappropriate towards staffs, calling staff names and making sexual remarks. The
Care Plan Indicated Resident 15 asked female staff to clean his private area despite the resident was able
to do it. The Care Plan interventions included monitoring Resident 15's behavior every shift and providing
psychiatric consult as needed.During an interview on 1/28/2026 at 8:02 a.m. with Resident 15, Resident 15
stated Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 3 came to the room (unknown date) around 2:00 am or 3:00 a.m.
and saw him with a penile erection (caused by sexual stimulation) then reported him to the Nurse
Supervisor.During a telephone interview on 1/28/2026 at 9:29 a.m. with CNA3, CNA 3 stated she entered
Resident 15's room around early morning to check his roommate, Resident 15 called and told her to look at
him. CAN 3 stated Resident 15 had exposed himself, was holding his penis and this incident was reported
to the Nurse Manager (NM) 1. CNA 3 stated this incident happened before but did not report the incident to
the supervisor.During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/28/2026 at 3:46 p.m. with the Social
Worker (SW)1, Resident 15's Progress Notes of Social Worker dated 9/18/2025 and 10/23/2025 were
reviewed. SW 1 stated Resident 15 showed inappropriate sexual behavior towards female certified nursing
assistants (CNAs) especially young women. SW 1 stated Resident 15 was assigned male CNAs because
he wanted female CNAS to touch him on his private area. SW 1 stated the resident can clean his private
area by himself but asked female CNAs to do it. SW 1 stated he was not aware if the physician was notified
about his inappropriate sexual behavior towards female CNAs. SW 1 stated no psychiatric consult was
provided to address the behavior.During an interview on 1/28/2026 at 10:25 a.m. with the Nurse Manager

facility documented the inappropriate sexual behavior of Resident on 9/23/2025. NM 1 stated interventions
of the Care Plan included monitoring of Resident 15's behavior every shift. NM 1 stated there was no
documentation addressing specific inappropriate sexual behavior that was monitored by the staff. NM 1
stated the facility should have placed monitoring of specific behavior addressing the inappropriate sexual
behavior of Resident 15. NM1 stated there was no documentation the physician was notified about
resident's inappropriate sexual behavior towards female CNA's or psychiatric consult was ordered by a
physician to address Resident 15's behavior. NM1 stated the importance of care plan is to individualize the

stated there are no specific behavioral monitoring addressing Resident 15's inappropriate sexual behavior
and the physician was not notified about resident 15's display of inappropriate sexual behavior towards
female CNAs on several occasions. The DON stated there were gaps in the care because Resident 15 was
not assessed or evaluated by a mental health provider to address his behavior. The DON stated there was
no documentation in the Nursing Notes about Resident 15's inappropriate sexual behavior and they failed
to notify the physician about resident's behavioral problem. The DON stated other residents could be at risk

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure one of two residents (Resident 22) and
resident representatives were provided education regarding the risks and benefits of refusing influenza (flu
- a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes
the lungs) vaccination.This failure had the potential to result in the resident or resident representative
making uninformed decisions regarding refusal of influenza vaccine, increasing the risk for
vaccine-preventable illness, complications, hospitalization, and transmission of infection within the
facility.Findings:During a review of Resident 22's Face Sheet (admission Record), the Face Sheet indicated
the facility re-admitted Resident 22 on 1/7/2026 with diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure with
hypoxia (a long-term condition where the lungs cannot adequately transfer oxygen into the blood, resulting
in low blood oxygen levels)During a review of Resident 22's history and physical (H&P) dated 11/21/2025,
the H&P indicated Resident 22 was nonverbal and was unable to give any information.During a review of
Resident 22's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 11/21/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 22 was comatose (in a state of deep unconsciousness for a long period or could not be woken up)
and was unable to think or make decisions. The MDS indicated Resident 22 did not receive influenza
vaccination for the 2025-2026 flu season.During a review of Resident 22's Care Plan titled Absence of
Infection Signs and Symptoms dated 11/21/2025, the Care Plan indicated family refused flu vaccine to be
administered to patient for 2025-2026 flu season. The care plan did not indicate Resident 22's family were
educated regarding declination of the flu vaccine.During a concurrent interview and record review on
1/27/2026 at 3:06 p.m. with the Infection Preventionist (IP), Resident 22's immunization screening was
reviewed. The IP stated Resident 22's family declined flu vaccine on 11/22/2025 and 12/22/2025 but was
not given the Vaccine Information Statement (VIS - paper hand out). The IP stated resident or family
education regarding declination of vaccines should be documented on the care plan. The IP stated the
importance of providing education and the VIS to resident was to explain the risks of not receiving the
vaccine and benefits of receiving the vaccine. The IP stated if the resident or family was not educated
regarding the flu vaccine and the resident or family declined the vaccine, there would be an increased risk
of exposure to the flu virus and development other flu virus related complications.During a review of the
facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled SACC: Guidelines for Pneumococcal, Influenza and COVID-19
Vaccination of Adult Residents in Subacute & Long-Term Care revised 7/2025, indicated .Before offering
immunization, the resident or their legal representative will be given the appropriate Vaccine Information
Statement (VIS) for education regarding benefits and potential side effects of the immunization(s). This
education and the edition date of the VIS given will be documented on the medication administration record
