interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure for two out of four residents (Resident 1 and 2), that
their rights were protected, when facility did not verify the informed consents were obtained from the
responsible party, and informed consent were not in Resident 1 and 2's medical records. These failures
resulted in violating the residents' right to be informed with their medical treatment.Cross reference to F
684Findings:A review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR) indicated Resident 1 was admitted on [DATE]
with diagnoses that included Parkinson's Disease without dyskinesia, without mention of fluctuations.
Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - resident assessment tool) dated 11/08/2025 indicated a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, a scoring system used to determine the resident's cognitive status
regarding attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall information) score of 05 (BIMS score of 00
- 07: severe impairment; 08 - 12: moderately impaired; and 13 - 15: cognitively intact). During a review of
facility's admission Record (AR), it indicated Resident 2 was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included Unspecified Dementia, unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance,
mood disturbance, and anxiety, and Aphasia. Resident 2's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated a BIMS
score of 02.During an interview on 02/11/2026 at 10:45 a.m., with Administrator (ADM), ADM stated the
Brain Mapping/Neurofeedback treatment (a biofeedback, which teaches self-control of brain functions to
subjects by measuring brain waves and providing a feedback signal. Neurofeedback usually provides audio
and/or video feedback) was performed by a third party provider in the facility. ADM further added the brain
mapping/neurofeedback treatment provider obtains the informed consent from Resident 1 and 2'
Responsible Party (RP). Furthermore, the facility verifies the informed consent that was obtained by the
provider by reviewing a copy of the informed consent and filing this copy in the resident's medical
chart.During a concurrent interview and record review on 02/11/2026 at 12: 27 p.m. with ADM, ADM stated
the consent for brain mapping/neurofeedback was emailed by the provider when Resident 2's Responsible
Party requested informed consent. ADM stated a copy of the informed consent was not among his medical
records.During an interview on 02/11/2026 at 01:28 p.m., with ADM, ADM stated she requested Resident
1's informed consent for the brain mapping/neurofeedback from the provider today to email the informed
consent. During an interview on 03/04/2026 at 10:18 a.m. with Responsible Party (RP), RP stated she was
not aware that Resident 2 was referred for brain mapping/neurofeedback treatment. RP stated she was first
made aware of Resident 2's brain mapping/neurofeedback treatment when she requested a physician order
summary to review Resident 2's medications. RP stated she did not give a consent to treat Resident 2 with
brain mapping/neurofeedback and the treatment was not explained to her.During a review of the facility's
policy and procedures titled Informed Consent, it indicated a policy statement The facility shall ensure the
resident's rights are maintained and a copy of these rights and pertinent policies are made available to

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 for one out of four residents (Resident
1), that Resident 1 was in a room with Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP - an infection control
intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant organisms that employ targeted gown and glove
use during high contact resident care activities), EBP was not followed during nursing care. This failure had
the potential to spread infection when prevention was not consistently practiced.Findings:During a review of
the facility's admission Record (AR), it indicated that Resident 2 was admitted on [DATE], with multiple
diagnoses that included Encounter for attention to gastrostomy(a surgical opening into the stomach for a
feeding tube to deliver nutrition, hydration, or medication directly). Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS resident assessment tool) dated 12/25/2025 indicated a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, a scoring
system used to determine the resident's cognitive status regarding attention, orientation, and ability to
register and recall information) score of 02 (BIMS score of 00 - 07: severe impairment; 08 - 12: moderately
impaired; and 13 - 15: cognitively intact).A review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report indicated Enteral
Feed Order every 3 hours Enteral: Flush with a minimum of 130 ml water via PEG tube, . Enhanced Barrier
Precaution during high contact time secondary to: G-tube indwelling device every shift.During a review of
Resident 2's Care Plan Report it indicated Enhanced Barrier Precautions Required: [Resident 2] requires
enhanced barrier precaution during high contact care activities due to: G-Tube indwelling device.During a
concurrent observation and interview on 02/11/2026 at 11:24 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1,
LVN 1 stated she would flush Resident 2's g-tube with water. LVN 1 entered Resident 2's room and
prepared and administered the water flush via g-tube. Resident 2's family was at bedside visiting. LVN 1
and Resident 2's family member repositioned Resident 2 in bed. LVN 1 did not wear a gown before
administering Resident 2's g-tube water flush, and to reposition Resident 2 in bed.During a concurrent
observation and interview 02/11/26 at 12:54 p.m., with, LVN 1, LVN 1 stated that Resident 2 was on
enhanced barrier precautions for the presence of a g-tube. There was a sign posted outside Resident 2's
room that read : Enhanced Barrier Precaution. LVN 1 stated she did not put on a gown when she flushed
water into Resident 2's g-tube.During a review of facility's policy and procedures titled Enhanced Barrier
Precautions it stated Enhanced barrier precautions (EBPs) are utilized to prevent the spread of multi-drug
resistant organisms (MDROs) to residents. 1. Enhanced barrier precautions (EBPs) are used as infection
prevention and control interventions to reduce the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs) to
residents. 2. EBPs employ targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities when
contact precautions do not otherwise apply. a. Gloves and gown are applied prior to performing a high
contact resident care activity (as opposed to before entering the room) . 3. Examples of high-contact
resident care activities required the use of gown and gloves for EBPs include. g. device care or use (central
line, urinary catheter, feeding tube.).
