This survey cited 13 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. 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 provide reasonable accommodation of resident needs and preferences by failing to ensure the call light (an alerting device for nurses or other nursing personnel to assist a patient when in need) was within reach for two (2) of (2) sampled residents (Residents 4 and 2) reviewed under the Environment task. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to result in the delay of care and services and possible injury to residents when they are unable to call for assistance. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 4's Admission/Registration form, the Admission/Registration form indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 8/24/2018 and readmitted in the facility on 12/20/2024 During a review of Resident 4's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/2/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 4 had diagnoses of chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition in which your lungs have a hard time loading your blood with oxygen and can leave you with low oxygen), ventilator (a medical device to help support or replace breathing) dependent, and seizure (a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness) disorder. During a review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 2/5/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 4 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) and required total assistance from staff with all activities of daily living (ADLs - activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily). During a review of Resident 4's SA Fall Risk Assessments (a simple method of assessing a resident's likelihood of falling), dated 8/15/2024, 11/8/2024, and 2/6/2025, the SA Fall Risk Assessments indicated the resident is a high risk for falls. During a review of Resident 4's care plan (CP) on risk for falls, initiated on 1/2/2025, the CP indicated to place call light within reach at all times as one of the interventions to prevent falls or injury. During a concurrent observation and interview, on 4/11/2025, at 8:07 p.m., inside Resident 4's room, with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 confirmed and stated Resident 4's call light was hanging on the wall at the head of the bed. CNA 1 stated staff should place the call lights within (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.

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few resident's reach prior to leaving the room. CNA 1 stated she just finished turning and repositioning Resident 4, and she forgot to place the call light within the resident's reach. CNA 1 stated she should have ensured that Resident 4's call light was placed within the resident's reach prior to leaving the room so the resident would be able to call for assistance. During a concurrent observation and interview, on 4/11/2024, at 8:07 p.m., inside Resident 4's room, with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 8, LVN 8 confirmed and stated Resident 4's call light was hanging on the wall at the head of the bed. LVN 8 stated staff should make sure the call lights are placed within resident's reach prior to leaving the room. LVN 8 stated CNA 1 should have ensured that Resident 4's call light was placed within reach prior to leaving the room so the resident would be able to call for assistance when needed. During an interview, on 4/11/2025, 8:30 p.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated staff have to make sure that all call lights are within resident's reach after providing or turning and repositioning and prior to leaving the room. RN 1 stated CNA 1 should have placed Resident 4's call light within reach after turning and repositioning and prior to leaving the room to make sure that Resident 4 would be able to call for assistance and prevent delay in meeting the resident's needs. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Call System, last reviewed on 2/2025, the P&P indicated a purpose to provide a mechanism for residents to communicate to staff a need for assistance. The P&P further indicated to make sure call cords are always placed within the resident's reach. b. During a review of Resident 2's Admission/Registration Record, the Admission/Registration Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 2 on 4/4/2025. During a review of Resident 2's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 2 was rarely/never understood and never/rarely made decisions. The MDS further indicated Resident 2 was dependent on facility staff for activities such as eating, hygiene and dressing. During a review of Resident 2's Nutritional Screening, dated 4/11/2025, the Nutritional Screening indicated Resident 2's diagnoses included chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition where the lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen [gas used for breathing]and carbon dioxide [gas given off from breathing]), chronic encephalopathy (group of conditions that cause brain dysfunction), tracheostomy, cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that affect movement and posture due to damage to the developing brain before, during, or shortly after birth), and seizure disorder (a sudden, temporary disturbance of the brain's electrical activity). During a review of Resident 2's CP titled, Need Assist with ADLs, dated 4/4/2025, the CP indicated an intervention to keep call light with reach at all times. During an observation, on 4/11/2025, at 7:27 p.m., in Resident 2's room, Resident 2 laid in bed with his call light behind the head of his bed and out of reach. During a concurrent observation and interview, 4/11/2025, at 7:27 p.m., in Resident 2's room, with CNA 1, CNA 1 confirmed and stated the call light should not be behind Resident 2's head of bed and should be next to him so he could reach it and call for help if he had an emergency.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Attending Physician (AP) was notified timely for one of four sampled residents (Resident 16) when Resident 16 had a change in condition. Residents Affected - Few This failure resulted in delay of obtaining appropriate instructions from the AP for proper management of Resident 16's health condition. Findings: During a review of Resident 16's Admission/Registration Record, the Admission/Registration Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 16 on 1/1/2025 due to chronic respiratory failure (occurs when the respiratory system cannot adequately provide oxygen to the body). During a review of Resident 16's Physician's Order dated 1/22/2024, the Physician's Order indicated Resident 16's diagnoses included seizure disorder (a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness), traumatic brain injury (TBI- a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head) from motor vehicle accident, and respiratory failure with tracheostomy (a procedure to help air and oxygen reach the lungs by creating an opening into the trachea [windpipe] from outside the neck). During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 3/10/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 16 was on vegetative state (a condition where someone appears awake but lacks awareness of their surroundings, and they can't engage in purposeful actions or communicate). The MDS indicated Resident 16 was dependent to staff for all activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves). The MDS indicated Resident 16 was always incontinent (unable to control) of bowel and bladder functions. During a review of Resident 16's Nurses Notes, dated 3/12/2025, timed at 11 p.m., the Nurses Notes indicated Resident 16 had a temperature of 101.2 Fahrenheit (F-unit of measuring temperature) and increased thick, dark yellow secretions. During a review of Resident 16's Nurses Notes, dated 3/13/2025, timed at 6:32 a.m., the Nurses Notes indicated the AP was notified of Resident 16's change in condition - fever, increased yellow secretions, excessive coughing and emesis (act of vomiting) twice. The Nurses notes indicated Resident 16's temperature was 99.5 F and heart rate at 120 beats per minute (bpm-normal heart rate ranges from 60-100) with oxygen saturation (O2 sat- a measurement of how much oxygen the blood is carrying as a percentage) of 95 percent (%). The Nurses Notes indicated the AP had new orders. During a review of Resident 16's Physician's Order, dated 3/13/2025, timed at 6:25 a.m., the Physician's Order indicated the following orders: 1. Blood culture (a laboratory test to check for bacteria or other germs in a blood sample), 2.

Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP- a blood test that provides a broad overview of your body's chemical balance and metabolism), Residents Affected - Few 4. Intravenous fluid (IVF-liquids injected into a person's veins through an intravenous tube) for hydration. 5. Zosyn (medication used to treat infection) IV (refers to the practice of administering fluids, medications, or other substances directly into a vein through a needle or tube), 4.5 grams (gm- unit of measurement, used for medication dosage and/or amount) every six hours for seven days for fever. 6. Vancomycin (medication used to treat infection) IV pharmacy to dose (physicians order a specific drug or drug class, and the pharmacist selects an appropriate dose for the individual patient). During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/12/2025 at 3.47 p.m., with Registered Nurse 3 (RN 3), Resident 16's Nurses Notes dated 3/12/2025 to 3/13/2025 were reviewed. RN 3 stated Resident 16 had a change in condition when he (Resident 16) had a fever and excessive secretions on 3/12/2025 at 11 p.m. RN 3 stated the Nurses Notes on 3/12/2025 at 11 p.m. did not indicate the AP was notified. RN 3 stated the Nurses Notes indicated the AP was notified on 3/13/2025 at 6:32 a.m., six hours after Resident 16 had a change in condition. RN 3 stated she (RN 3) would call the AP at around 11 p.m. on 3/12/2025 because of the change in condition. RN 3 stated it was a delay in the AP notification that can result in delay of care. During an interview on 4/13/2025 at 5:31 p.m. with the Director of Subacute (DSA), the DSA stated the AP should have been notified promptly when Resident 16 had a change in condition. The DSA stated the AP notification six hours after Resident 16 had a change in condition is a delay of notification. The DSA stated delay in the AP notification can result to delay in treatment. The DSA stated the importance of timely AP notification was to address the change in condition and provide care timely. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Change in Resident Condition/Notification of Changes, dated 2/2025, the P&P indicated, To clearly define guidelines for timely notification of a change in resident condition and notification of changes as required by regulations. A. Acute Medical Change: Any sudden or serious change in a resident's condition manifested by a marked change in physical, mental, or psychosocial status. 1. The licensed nurse in charge will notify the physician promptly with a request for physician visit, recommendations, and/or evaluation. 2. If unable to contact attending physician or alternate physician timely, notify the Medical Director for follow-up of change in resident condition. B. Routine Medical Changes/Need to Alter Treatment Significant: A minor change in physical, mental or psychosocial status with the potential need to discontinue an existing form of treatment or to commence a new form of treatment. 1. All signs and symptoms of the condition change will be communicated to the physician promptly.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents received care consistent with professional standards of practice to prevent pressure injuries (PI/PU - localized damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence) by failing to ensure heels were floated on two pillows for one of one sampled resident (Resident 14) during a random observation. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 14's deep tissue injury (damage to the deeper layers of the skin and underlying tissues, like muscle and fat, caused by pressure or shear forces) to reappear or form new PI. Findings: During a review of Resident 14's Admission/Registration Record, the Admission/Registration Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 14 on 1/12/2025. During a review of Resident 14's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/25/24, the H&P indicated Resident 14 was unable to provide meaningful information. During a review of Resident 14's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 3/7/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 14 was rarely/never understood and never/rarely made decisions. The MDS further indicated Resident 14 was dependent on facility staff for activities such as eating, hygiene and dressing. During a review of Resident 14's Physician's Orders, dated between 4/1/2025 to 4/30/2025, the physician's orders indicated the resident had diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition where the lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen [gas used for breathing]and carbon dioxide [gas given off from breathing]) with vent (machine that breathes for a person when they cannot breathe on their own), chronic encephalopathy(group of conditions that cause brain dysfunction), and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). The Physician's Orders further indicated Resident 14 was ordered to float heels on two pillows on 1/16/2025. During a review of Resident 14's Deep Tissue Injury Care Plan (CP), initiated on 1/16/2025, the CP indicated Resident 14 had a dry, intact, dark brown wound bed on the left heel. The CP further indicated interventions to float heels on two pillows. During a concurrent observation and interview, 4/13/2025, at 7:46 a.m., inside Resident 14's room, with Registered Nurse (RN) 3, Resident 14 laid in bed and RN 3 lifted the covers from Resident 14's legs. Resident 14's heels touched the mattress and RN 3 stated Resident 14's heels were touching the mattress, and they should be propped up on two pillows so they would float. RN 3 stated Resident 14 has an order to float her heels on two pillows to prevent skin breakdown and it was not followed by the facility staff. RN 3 further stated the deep tissue injury to Resident 14's heel has resolved, but the facility must continue to float her heels to prevent another one. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Pressure/Vascular (relating to blood vessels) Ulcer Management last reviewed 2/2025, the P&P indicated to use pressure relief device, as appropriate.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide an environment that is free from accidents or hazards by failing to ensure the brakes were set on the hospital bed for one of four sampled residents (Resident 14) during a random observation. This deficient practice placed Resident 14 at risk for hazard or injury such as a fall. Findings: During a review of Resident 14's Admission/Registration Record, the Admission/Registration Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 14 on 1/12/2025. During a review of Resident 14's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/25/24, the H&P indicated Resident 14 was unable to provide meaningful information. During a review of Resident 14's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 3/7/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 14 was rarely/never understood and never/rarely made decisions. The MDS further indicated Resident 14 was dependent on facility staff for activities such as eating, hygiene and dressing. During a review of Resident 14's Physician's Orders, dated between 4/1/2025 to 4/30/2025, the physician's orders indicated the resident had diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition where the lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen [gas used for breathing]and carbon dioxide [gas given off from breathing]) with vent (machine that breathes for a person when they cannot breathe on their own), chronic encephalopathy(group of conditions that cause brain dysfunction), and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). During an observation, 4/11/2025, at 7:14 p.m., inside Resident 14's room, Resident 14 laid in bed and the brakes to her bed were unlocked without staff in the room. During a concurrent observation and interview, 4/11/2025, at 7:17 p.m., inside Resident 14's room, with Registered Nurse (RN) 4, Resident 14 was in bed and RN 3 looked down at the brakes and stated it was dangerous to have the brakes unlocked on Resident 14's bed and could cause a fall or injury. During a review of the [Hospital Bed 1] Medical Bed operations manual, undated, the manual indicated to always keep the brakes applied when a resident is on the bed. The operations manual further indicated after the brake is applied, push on the bed to ensure the brakes are locked.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who was incontinent (lacks voluntary control over urination) of bladder (organ in the pelvis that stores urine) received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections (UTI - an infection in the bladder/urinary tract) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 2) observed during the screening process by failing to keep Resident 2's urinary catheter tubing (also known as an indwelling catheter, a hollow tube inserted into the bladder to drain or collect urine) from looping and allowing the contents to flow freely into the urinary catheter bag (container that connects to a urinary catheter and collects urine). This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 2 to develop catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI - an infection of the urinary tract caused by a urinary catheter). Findings: During a review of Resident 2's Admission/Registration Record, the Admission/Registration Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 2 on 4/4/2025. During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 3/7/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2 was rarely/never understood and never/rarely made decisions. The MDS further indicated Resident 2 was dependent on facility staff for activities such as eating, hygiene and dressing. During a review of Resident 2's Nutritional Screening, dated 4/11/2025, the Nutritional Screening indicated Resident 2's diagnoses included chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition where the lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen [gas used for breathing]and carbon dioxide [gas given off from breathing]), chronic encephalopathy (group of conditions that cause brain dysfunction), tracheostomy, cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that affect movement and posture due to damage to the developing brain before, during, or shortly after birth), and seizure disorder (a sudden, temporary disturbance of the brain's electrical activity). During a review of Resident 2's Care Plan (CP) titled, Potential for infection [related to] presence of indwelling catheter, dated 4/4/2025, the CP indicated an intervention to check that the urinary catheter tubing was not kinked and there is a free flow of urine at all times. During an observation, on 4/13/2025, at 7:40 a.m., inside Resident 2's room, Resident 2 laid in bed with a urinary catheter bag hanging on the right side of the resident's bedframe. The urinary catheter tubing hung below the middle-right side of the bed and had a large loop. The looped portion of the urinary catheter tubing contained yellow liquid with a small amount of sediment. During a concurrent observation and interview, 4/13/2025, at 7:46 a.m., inside Resident 2's room, with Registered Nurse (RN) 6, RN 6 confirmed and stated Resident 2's urinary catheter tubing was looped and contained yellow liquid with white sediment. RN 6 stated the urinary catheter tubing should be straight in order drain the urine into the urinary catheter bag. RN 6 further stated if the urine is not draining properly, Resident 2 can possibly get an infection because the urine might backflow into his body.

F 0694 Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed administer total parenteral nutrition (TPN - a method of feeding that delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a hollow tube, bypassing the digestive system) consistent with professional standards of practice by failing to label the TPN bag and PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter - thin, flexible tube inserted into a vein in the upper arm and guided to a large vein near the heart) line tubing with the date and time it was started on one of one resident (Resident 2) during a random screening. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to increase Resident 2's risk for complications from TPN such as bacteria growth in the tubing. Findings: During a review of Resident 2's Admission/Registration Record, the Admission/Registration Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 2 on 4/4/2025. During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 3/7/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2 was rarely/never understood and never/rarely made decisions. The MDS further indicated Resident 2 was dependent on facility staff for activities such as eating, hygiene and dressing. During a review of Resident 2's Nutritional Screening, dated 4/11/2025, the Nutritional Screening indicated Resident 2's diagnoses included chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition where the lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen [gas used for breathing]and carbon dioxide [gas given off from breathing]), chronic encephalopathy (group of conditions that cause brain dysfunction), tracheostomy, cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that affect movement and posture due to damage to the developing brain before, during, or shortly after birth), and seizure disorder (a sudden, temporary disturbance of the brain's electrical activity). During a review of Resident 2's Care Plan (CP) titled, Potential for Infection Related to the Presence of a PICC Line, the CP indicated an intervention to change tubing according to protocol. During an observation, on 4/13/2025, at 7:40 a.m., inside Resident 2's room, Resident 2 laid in bed with TPN running and connected to his PICC line on his right upper arm. The TPN bag and tubing did not have a date or time it was started. During a concurrent observation and interview, 4/13/2025, at 7:46 a.m., inside Resident 2's room, with Registered Nurse (RN) 6, RN 6 confirmed and stated Resident 2's TPN bag and tubing were not labeled with the date and time it was started. RN 6 stated it was the facility's practice and policy to indicate the date and time started on every bag of TPN, medication, and tubing so other nurses will know what time it was started and to reduce confusion. RN 6 further stated Resident 2 had the potential to acquire an infection from the unlabeled TPN bag and tubing. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, IV (intravenous - through the vein) Therapy Protocol, last reviewed 2/2025, the P&P indicated the nurse starting the bag dates and initials the bag and can be done by writing on the resident's name label or use an auxiliary (something that gives aid/helps of any kind) label.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure respiratory care provided to residents were consistent with professional standards of practice for one (1) of 1 sampled residents (Resident 9) reviewed for respiratory care by failing to ensure the Yankauer suction catheter (long plastic tool used to remove secretions [thick or thin sticky fluids from the mouth and throat]) was labeled with the date when the catheter will be changed next. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice placed the resident at risk for acquiring infection from possibly contaminated equipment. Findings: During a review of Resident 9's Admission/Registration form, the Admission/Registration form indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 10/9/2018 and readmitted in the facility on 12/31/2024 During a review of Resident 9's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/2/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 9 had diagnoses of respiratory failure (a long-term condition in which your lungs have a hard time loading your blood with oxygen and can leave you with low oxygen), ventilator (a medical device to help support or replace breathing) dependent, and seizure (a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness) disorder. During a review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 1/17/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 9 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) and required total assistance from staff with all activities of daily living (ADLs- activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily). The MDS indicated Resident 9 received suctioning treatments. During a review of Resident 9's Physician's Orders, dated 10/9/2018, the Physician's Orders indicated an order to suction retained or increased secretions every two (2) hours and as needed. During a review of Resident 9's care plan (CP) on potential for infection, last revised on 12/31/2024, the CP indicated to suction every 2 hours and as needed retained or increased secretions and oral care every shift and as needed as a few of the interventions to minimize risk for signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. During an observation, on 4/11/2025, at 7:02 p.m., inside Resident 9's room, Resident 9's Yankauer suction catheter, inside an opened storage bag, did not have a label with an opened date. During a concurrent observation and interview, on 4/11/2025, at 7:10 p.m., inside Resident 9's room, with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 9, LVN 9 stated night shift licensed nurses change all resident respiratory equipment, including Yankauer suction catheters, every morning at 6 am prior to end of shift and place a sticker indicating the date and time the equipment will be changed next. LVN 9 stated she did not know what happened with the sticker indicating that she changed the Yankauer suction catheter on 4/11/2025 at 6 a.m. and will be changed 4/12/2025 at 6 a.m. LVN 9 stated if the suction catheter was changed during the morning shift, the storage bag should have a sticker indicating to change on 4/12/2025 at 6 a.m. LVN 9 stated Resident 9's Yankauer suction catheter should have a (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555885 If continuation sheet Page 12 of 32 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 555885 B.

F 0695 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few sticker of when it will be changed next so the staff would know that the Yankauer suction catheter was changed as scheduled and was not old which placed Resident 9 at risk for infection if the suction catheter was possibly contaminated. During an interview, on 4/13/2025, at 8:28 a.m., with the Director of Sub Acute (DSA), the DSA stated all respiratory equipment in the resident room such as the suction canisters and Yankauer suction catheters are changed every morning by the night shift licensed nurse prior to end of shift. The DSA stated Resident 9's Yankauer suction catheter should have indicated the date and time of when it would be changed next. The DSA stated when the staff change the Yankauer suction catheter to a new one and indicate the date and time of when it would be changed, the other staff would know that the suction catheter was not old. The DSA stated an unlabeled Yankauer suction catheter could possibly be contaminated which can lead to residents acquiring an infection. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Changing & Emptying of Suction Set Ups, last reviewed on 2/2025, the P&P indicated a purpose to minimize risk of infection. The P&P further indicated: - All suction extension tubing and Yankauer suction devices will be changed daily and as needed and the Yankauer rinsed after each use. - During equipment changing, gather needed clean or sterile disposable items, label with date it will be changed, and initials of staff member making the change.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services (including procedures that assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all drugs and biologicals) for three of five sampled residents (Residents 4, 3, and 18) by: 1. Failing to ensure Registered Nurse (RN) 2 administered 20-50 milliliter (ml - unit of volume) of water after medication administration to Resident 4 as per physician's order. 2. Failing to ensure Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 flushed (also known as rinsing) Resident 3's gastrostomy tube (g-tube, a feeding tube inserted into the stomach through the abdominal wall, used to deliver nutrition, fluids, and medications directly to the stomach when someone cannot eat or drink adequately by mouth) with water in between medication administration as per facility's policy and procedures. 3. Failing to ensure LVN 2 flushed Resident 18's g-tube with water in between medication administration as per facility's policy and procedure. These failures had the potential to result in medication error and can result in medication drug interaction (a change in how the body responds to one medication when it's taken with another, or when it interacts with food, drinks, or even certain medical conditions can make a drug less effective, cause unwanted side effects, or even increase the action of a drug). Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 4's Physician's Orders, dated 10/18/2024, the Physician's order indicated the facility admitted Resident 4 on 10/18/2024, with diagnoses that included chronic respiratory failure (the lungs are unable to get enough oxygen into the blood or get rid of enough carbon dioxide, leading to breathing difficulties and fatigue over a long period), ventilator dependent (a resident requires medical device to help support or replace breathing), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). The Physician's Order indicated to flush feeding tube (g-tube) with 20-50 ml of water before and after medication administration. During a review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 2/5/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 4's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decisions were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 4 was dependent to staff for all activities of daily living (ADL- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves). The MDS indicated Resident 4 had a feeding tube (g-tube).

RN 2 stated the Physician's Order indicated to flush g-tube with 20-50 ml of water after medication administration. RN 2 stated 10 ml of water flush may not be enough and can clog Resident 4's g-tube. During an interview on 4/13/2025 at 5:31 p.m., with the Director of Subacute (DSA), the DSA stated g-tube should be flushed with 30 ml to 50 ml of water before and after medication administration. The DSA stated medication cannot be fully absorb if RN 2 flushed only 10 ml of water after medication administration. The DSA stated the importance of flushing g-tube with enough water was for hydration and also to make sure all the medication will reach the resident and not just left in the g-tube. The DSA stated the facility's policy was to flush g-tube with water after medication administration. 2. During a review of Resident 3's Physician's Order dated 2/7/2025, the Physician's Order indicated the facility admitted Resident 3 on 2/7/2025, with diagnoses that included chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure (a long-term condition where the lungs struggle to provide enough oxygen to the blood), tracheostomy (a procedure to help air and oxygen reach the lungs by creating an opening into the trachea [windpipe)] from outside the neck) and pneumonia (an infection/inflammation in the lungs). The Physician's Order indicated to flush feeding tube (g-tube) with 20-50 ml of water before and after giving medication. During a review of Resident 3's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 3's cognitive skills for decision making were severely impaired.

The Drug Interaction indicated increased electrocardiogram (ECG-a test that records the electrical activity of the heart, helping doctors diagnose and monitor heart condition) monitoring may be considered in residents at high risk for QT interval prolongation (example older age, female .).The Drug Interaction indicated the risk of combining these agents is unclear, but product labeling for at least some of these indeterminate risk drugs suggest additional caution and increased ECG monitoring may be warranted when combined with drugs that prolong the QT interval. 2. During a review of Resident 18's Physician's Order, dated 7/25/2024, the Physician's Order indicated the facility admitted Resident 18 on 7/25/2024, with diagnoses that included chronic respiratory failure, ventilator dependent (a resident requires medical device to help support or replace breathing), and dysphagia (swallowing problem) with gastrostomy tube. The Physician's Order indicated flush feeding tube (g-tube) with 20-50 ml of water before and after giving medication. During a review of Resident 18's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 18's cognitive skills for decision making were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 18 was dependent to staff for ADL. The MDS indicated Residents 18 had a feeding tube (g-tube). During a review of Resident 18's Care Plan on risk for aspiration due to tube feeding dated 12/31/2024, the Care Plan indicated an intervention to maintain patency of feeding tube by flushing with water at a minimum of 30 ml every shift and after medication administration. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2025, at 12:30 p.m., with LVN 2, at Resident 18's bedside, observed LVN 2 administer liquid Colace (medication used to soften stool) and then followed by crushed Urecholine (medication used to treat urinary retention [the inability to completely empty the bladder]) mixed with water to Resident 18's g-tube. LVN 2 stated she (LVN 2) missed flushing Resident 18's g-tube in between the two medication (Colace and Urecholine). LVN 2 stated she (LVN 2) should have flushed Resident 18's g-tube with water in between medication administration. During an interview on 4/13/2025 at 5:31 p.m., with the Director of Subacute (DSA), the DSA stated g-tube should be flushed with water in between medication administration. The DSA stated not flushing Resident 3 and 18's g-tube in between medication administration was a medication error. The DSA stated LVN 1 and LVN 2 should have given free water in between medication administration to prevent possible drug interaction. The DSA stated it is the facility's policy to flush g-tube in between medication administration.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five sampled staff (Infection Preventionist [IP]) was qualified and competent in implementing the facilities infection control program by: Residents Affected - Few 1. Failing to monitor Resident 16 for antibiotic (medication used to treat infection) use, side effects or adverse reaction (unintended pharmacologic effects that occur when a medication is administered correctly while a side effect is a secondary unwanted effect). 2. Failing to ensure Infection Control Surveillance Log (a documented record used to systematically track and analyze healthcare-associated infections and other infectious diseases within a healthcare facility) for Resident 19's antibiotics was completely filled in 3/2025. These failures had the potential to increase antibiotic resistance (don't respond to a drug) from unnecessary or inappropriate antibiotic use. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 16's Physician's Order dated 1/22/2024, the Physician's Order indicated the facility admitted Resident 16 on 1/22/2024, with diagnoses that included seizure disorder (a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness), traumatic brain injury (TBI- a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head) from motor vehicle accident, and respiratory failure (occurs when the respiratory system cannot adequately provide oxygen to the body), with tracheostomy (a procedure to help air and oxygen reach the lungs by creating an opening into the trachea [windpipe] from outside the neck). During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated, 3/10/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 16 was on vegetative state (a condition where someone appears awake but lacks awareness of their surroundings, and they cannot engage in purposeful actions or communicate). The MDS indicated Resident 16 was dependent to staff for all activities of daily living (ADL- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves). The MDS indicated Resident 16 was always incontinent (unable to control) of bowel and bladder functions. During a review of Resident 16's Physician's Order, dated 3/13/2025, timed at 6:25 a.m., the Physician's Order indicated the following orders: 1. Zosyn (medication used to treat infection) 4.5 grams (gm- unit of measurement, used for medication dosage and/or amount) intravenous (IV- refers to the practice of administering fluids, medications, or other substances directly into a vein through a needle or tube) every six hours for seven days due to fever (a rise in body temperature, typically indicated by a reading of 100.4°F or higher). 2. Vancomycin (medication used to treat infection) IV, pharmacy to dose (physicians order a specific drug or drug class, and the pharmacist selects an appropriate dose for the individual patient).
