F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to report an alleged abuse (willful infliction of injury resulting to physical harm/ pain or mental anguish) to the State Survey Agency (California Department of Public Health-CDPH - where state law provides for jurisdiction in long-term care facilities), ombudsman (OMB) (advocates for residents of nursing homes, board and care homes and assisted living facilities), and local law enforcement when OMB and local law enforcement (PD) in accordance with State law within two (2) hours after the allegation was made for two of two sampled residents (Resident 1 and Resident 4). This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 1 and Resident 4 at risk for further abuse and/or under reporting from the facility. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy (a disorder causing slow weakness, numbness, tingling, and foot deformities with nerve damage), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a long-term lung disease causing difficulty breathing), bronchiectasis unspecified (a chronic lung condition where the airways become permanently widened and damaged). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 10/16/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 was assessed having intact memory and cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was independent (resident completes the activity by themselves with no assistance from a helper) with eating, toileting/personal hygiene, and upper/lower body dressing. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required setup or clean-up assistance with sit to lying, sit to stand, and toilet transfer. During a review of Resident 1's Change of Condition (COC) form, dated 11/25/2025, the COC indicated Resident 1 came up to staff in the hallway, reporting that a resident in Room A (Resident 4) had allegedly rolled Resident 4's wheelchair into Resident 1's arm. Apparently, the resident (Resident 4) was coming out from the activities room when Resident 1 claims that Resident 4 bumped Resident 1's arm with Resident 4's wheelchair. 2. During a review of Resident 4's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included other COPD, hypertensive heart disease (a medical condition where the heart is affected by high blood pressure), and schizophrenia. During a review of Resident 4's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 4 was assessed to have intact memory and cognitive skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 4 required supervision or touching assistance with eating, oral/toileting hygiene, upper body dressing, personal hygiene, sit to stand and toilet transfer. The MDS indicated Resident 4 required partial/moderate assistance with shower/bathe self, lower body dressing, and tub/shower transfer. During an interview on 11/26/2025, at 10:37 AM with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated, on 11/25/2025 at approximately 4:40 PM, Resident 4 came out of the Activities Room and saw Resident 1 wheel herself to the Nurse's Station. Resident 1 stated Resident 4 sped (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 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete up his wheelchair when Resident 4 saw Resident 1 and Resident 4 rammed his wheelchair against Resident 1. Resident 1 stated Resident 4's wheelchair hit her left arm and Resident 4 also kicked her left leg. Resident 1 stated she informed Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), LVN 3, and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) about the incident with Resident 4. Resident 1 stated she saw the Social Services Director (SSD), ADON, and the Administrator (ADM) go to the office to talk about the incident after it happened. Resident 1 stated the police did not come and talk to her after the incident. During an interview on 11/25/2025, at 12:07 PM, with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated on 11/25/2025, at around 4:45 PM, Resident 1 informed LVN 2 that Resident 4 crashed into her wheelchair and hit her left arm on her way to the Nurse's Station. LVN 2 stated the ADON, Director of Nursing (DON), and Administrator (ADM) were notified about the incident between Resident 1 and Resident 4. LVN 2 stated what Resident 1 reported about the incident with Resident 4 prompted an investigation of an allegation of abuse. LVN 2 stated if an investigation is prompted then abuse was suspected. LVN 2 stated suspected abuse should be reported to CDPH immediately or within two hours of the incident or when the allegation was made. LVN 2 stated he was not sure if the incident between Resident 1 and Resident 4 was reported to CDPH. During an interview on 11/26/2025, at 12:59 PM, with SSD, SSD stated on 11/25/2025, at approximately 5:20 PM, SSD was notified that Resident 4 allegedly ran over and hit by Resident 1's wheelchair. SSD stated he did not know if the incident between Resident 1 and Resident 4 was reported to CDPH. During an interview on 11/26/2025 at 1:13 PM, with the ADM, the ADM stated she was informed about the incident between Resident 1 and Resident 4 on 11/25/2025, at approximately 5 PM . The ADM stated she did not report the incident to CDPH, local PD and to OMB because she did not see any contact between Resident 1 and Resident 4 in the hallway when she checked the closed-circuit television (CCTV- video surveillance). ADM stated she did not think abuse occurred because she did not see any contact between Resident 1 and Resident 4 in the CCTV recording. ADM stated suspected abuse should be reported to CDPH immediately or within 2 hours from the incident or when the allegation was made on 11/25/2025 around 4:45 PM. ADM stated abuse was suspected if the incident prompted her to check the CCTV. ADM stated she should have reported the incident between Resident 1 and Resident 4 to CDPH. During an interview on 11/26/2025, at 3:32 PM, with ADON, ADON stated she and the ADM watched the CCTV recording after Resident 4 reported the alleged abuse by Resident 1 last 11/25/2025 around 4:45 PM and did not see Resident 4 hit Resident 1. The ADON stated they thought the facility did not need to fill out an SOC 341 (abuse reporting form) form and report to CDPH since there was no proof or witness regarding what happened between Resident 1 and Resident 4. During a review of the facility's P&P, titled, Abuse Investigation and Reporting, revised on 1/21/2025, the P&P indicated the following: All reports of resident abuse, shall be promptly reported to local, state and federal agencies (as defined by current regulations) and thoroughly investigated by facility management. All alleged violations involving abuse, will be reported by the facility Administrator, or his/her designee, to the following persons or agencies: the State licensing/certification agency responsible for surveying/licensing the facility; the local/State Ombudsman; Law enforcement officials. An alleged violation of abuse will be reported immediately, but not later than: two hours if the alleged violation involves abuse OR has resulted in serious bodily injury. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Abuse Prevention Program, revised on 2/21/2025, the P&P indicated as part of the resident abuse prevention, the administration will investigate and report any allegations of abuse within timeframes as required by federal requirements.

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 interview and record review, the facility failed to administer medication in accordance with the physician's order and to ensure that the administration of controlled medications (a drug or chemical whose manufacture, possession, and use are regulated by the government due to its potential for abuse or addiction) were accurately documented in the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for two (2) of two sampled residents (Resident 2 and 5). This deficient practice had the potential for harm to Resident 2 and 5 due to missed medications and due to an inaccurate record of controlled medication use, and the possible loss of accountability, which could affect the controls against drug loss, diversion, or theft. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 2 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included other seizures (abnormal electrical activity in the brain that happens quickly), unspecified dementia (a brain disorder that results in memory loss, poor judgment and confusion), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a long-term disease causing difficulty breathing), and bipolar disorder (a mental illness that causes unusual shifts in a person's mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration). During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Date Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 11/18/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2 was assessed having moderately impaired (decisions poor; cues/supervision required) cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 2 required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with lower body dressing, rolling left and right, and sit to lying. The MDS also indicated Resident 2 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, sit to stand, and chair/bed-to-chair transfer. During a review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report, dated 11/26/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated a physician order for Clonazepam (a medication used to treat certain seizure and panic disorders [sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause] oral tablet 1 milligram (mg- unit of measurement) give 1 tablet by mouth three times a day related to other seizures, ordered on 9/16/2025. During a review of Resident 2's MAR, dated 11/1/2025 to 11/30/2025, the MAR indicated Resident 2 was administered Clonazepam 1 mg by mouth on 11/13/2025 and 11/19/2025 at 8 PM by Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3). During a concurrent observation of Resident 2's Clonazepam bubble pack (a card that packages doses of medication within small, clear, or light-resistant amber-colored plastic bubbles), interview, and record review on 11/26/2025, at 3:15 PM, with LVN 1, Resident 2's Narcotic and Hypnotic Record (a controlled substance count sheet of log used to track the entire lifecycle of a controlled medication including the receipt, administration, inventory, and disposal) from 11/12/2025 to 11/26/2025, was reviewed. LVN 1 counted Resident 2's Clonazepam bubble pack and there were two tablets left. LVN 1 stated Resident 2's Narcotic and Hypnotic Record indicated there was no documentation that Clonazepam 1 mg was taken out from the bubble pack and was given to Resident 2 on 11/13/2025 and 11/19/2025 at 8 PM by LVN 3. During the same interview with LVN 1 on 11/26/2025 at 3:15 PM, LVN 1 stated Resident 2's Narcotic and Hypnotic Record indicated there were two Clonazepam tablets left in Resident 2's bubble pack. LVN 1 stated the Narcotic and Hypnotic record matched the actual clonazepam count and if LVN 3 gave the Lorazepam as indicated in Resident 2's MAR last 11/13/2025 and 11/19/2025 then there should be none left in the bubble pack. LVN 1 stated, it means the MAR was signed by LVN 3, but the medication was not given to Resident 2. 2.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included depression (a serious mood illness affecting how you feel, think, and act, characterized by persistent sadness, loss of interest, fatigue, changes in sleep/appetite, and difficulty concentrating), anxiety disorder (excessive, persistent worry and feat that significantly impair daily life), and schizophrenia (a mental disorder that affects the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality, and relates to others). During a review of Resident 5's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 5 was assessed having moderately impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 5 required supervision or touching assistance with eating, oral/personal hygiene, toileting hygiene, upper body dressing, rolling left and right, sit to lying, sit to stand, and toilet transfer. The MDS indicated Resident 5 also required partial/moderate assistance with shower/bathe self, lower body dressing, tub/shower/transfer, and waling 50 feet (ft- unit of measurement) with two turns. During a review of Resident 5's Order Summary Report, dated 11/26/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated a physician order for Lorazepam (a medication used to treat anxiety) oral tablet 1 mg give 1 tablet by mouth three times a day for anxiety manifested by (m/b) inability to cope with daily living activities causing anger and stress, ordered on 8/17/2025. During a review of Resident 5's MAR, dated 11/1/2025 to 11/30/2025, the MAR indicated Resident 5 was administered Lorazepam 1 mg by mouth on 11/12/2025 at 5 PM by LVN 3. During the same concurrent observation of Resident 5's Lorazepam bubble pack, interview and record review on 11/26/2025, at 3:15 PM, with LVN 1, Resident 5's Narcotic and Hypnotic Record from 11/6/2025 and 11/20/2025 was reviewed. LVN 1 counted Resident 5's Lorazepam left in the bubble pack and there were 28 left. LVN 1 stated Resident 5's Narcotic and Hypnotic Record indicated there was no documentation that Lorazepam 1 mg was given to Resident 5 on 11/12/2025 at 5 PM by LVN 3. LVN 1 stated Resident 5's Narcotic and Hypnotic Record indicated there were 28 Lorazepam tablets left in Resident 5's bubble pack. During the same interview with LVN 1 on 11/26/2025 at 3:15 PM, LVN 1 stated Resident 5's Narcotic and Hypnotic Record matched the actual lorazepam count which was 28 and if LVN 3 gave the Lorazepam as indicated in Resident 5's MAR last 11/12/2025 then there should be 27 Lorazepam left in Resident 5 bubble pack. LVN 1 stated, it means the MAR was signed by LVN 3, but the medication was not given to Resident 5. LVN 1 stated it was the facility's policy for controlled medications to document the administration in the MAR accurately and the Narcotic and Hypnotic Record. LVN 1 stated this was done to ensure accuracy that the medication was given to keep track of the controlled medications that were administered and to avoid missing controlled medications. During an interview on 11/26/2025, at 3:40 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident 5's Lorazepam was not documented as given in the Narcotic and Hypnotic Record on 11/12/2025. The DON stated she was not aware of the discrepancy between Resident 2 and Resident 5's MAR and Narcotic and Hypnotic Record. During an interview on 11/26/2025, at 4:06 PM, with the Assistant DON (ADON), the ADON stated she was not aware that LVN 3 documented the controlled medication as administered (Clonazepam and Lorazepam) for Residents 2 and 5 in the residents' MAR but not in the Narcotic and Hypnotic Record. ADON stated the DON was supposed to do oversight and audits of the narcotic and controlled medications to make sure the residents received the medications in accordance with the physician's order and staff were not taking or stealing medications. ADON stated narcotic and controlled medication audits were also important to make sure the staff administered the medications to the residents on time and the medications matched the MAR. The ADON stated the controlled medications for Resident's 2 and 5 should not have been charted as given in the MAR if they were not administered to Residents 2 and 5.
