F 0699 Provide care or services that was trauma informed and/or culturally competent. 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 residents who were trauma survivors receive culturally competent, trauma-informed care in accordance with professional standards of practice and accounting for residents' experiences and preferences in order to eliminate or mitigate triggers that may cause re-traumatization of the resident for 1 (Resident #6) of 15 residents reviewed for trauma-informed care.The facility did not ensure Resident #6 had a trauma screening that identified possible triggers when Resident #6 had a history of trauma. This failure could put residents at an increased risk for severe psychological distress due to re-traumatization. Findings Included: Record review of Resident #6's admission record dated 12/14/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or know physiological condition (mental health disorder characterized by a loss of touch with reality where the exact cause cannot be identified), depression (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), anxiety disorder (a group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive and persistent worry, fear, and nervousness that can significantly interfere with daily life), and post-traumatic stress disorder chronic (mental health condition caused by a traumatic event that affects your ability to function normally).Record review of Resident #6's quarterly MDS completed on 11/05/25 revealed a BIMS score of 7 which indicated severely impaired cognition. Section I Active Diagnoses revealed Resident #6 was coded as having PTSD.Record review of Resident #6's care plan completed on 10/15/25 revealed he was care planned for experiencing excessive worry, nervousness or unease which may interfere with daily functioning and quality of life. Resident has history of trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which may impact emotional well-being, daily functioning, and response to care. Resident has PTSD related to past traumatic experiences, evidenced by anxiety, hypervigilance, sleep disturbance, and verbalized intrusive memories. Interventions listed were initiated on 08/25/25 and included, but were not limited to, the following: Assess resident's trauma history and triggers (as they are willing to disclose), emotional responses, and coping strategies Develop an individualized care approach that avoids known triggers and incorporates resident-preferred coping mechanisms (e.g., calming music, quiet time, grounding techniques). Ensure all staff are educated on trauma-informed care principles and specific resident considerations to promote a safe, respectful care environment. Monitor for signs of re-traumatization (e.g., agitation, nightmares, avoidance behaviors) and report patterns to the interdisciplinary team for care plan adjustment. Assess resident for PTSD symptoms daily (anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, triggers). Document resident's identified triggers and preferred calming strategies in care plan.Record review of Resident #6's EHR assessments tab revealed a Brief Trauma Questionnaire completed on 08/21/25 by the previous DON.Record review of Resident #6's Brief Trauma Questionnaire revealed it was completed on 08/21/25 by his resident representative and the following questions were answered yes for Resident #6: Event 1: Have you ever served in a war zone, or have you ever served in a noncombat job that exposed you to war-related casualties? If the event happened, did you think your life was in danger or you might be seriously injured? If the event happened, were you seriously injured? Event 4: Have you ever had a life-threatening illness such as cancer, heart attack, leukemia, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, etc? If the event happened did you think your life was in danger?

She stated, I think it just randomly happens. When he gets upset there is usually a reason for it like another resident is making him mad. I think that if you get too close to his personal space that causes him to trigger. She stated a possible negative outcome of not providing trauma-informed care for Resident #6 was, He might lash out. He seems like he is hyperaware of everything that is going on. He is always looking around.During an interview on 12/16/25 at 11:29 AM CNA B stated she had not received training on providing trauma-informed care for Resident #6 in light of his PTSD diagnosis.

CN stated he had not trained staff on providing trauma-informed care for Resident #6. He stated he did not know what any of Resident #6's triggers were. CN stated, To be honest, I did not realize he had PTSD. He stated a resident with a history of trauma could be negatively affected if the facility did not provide trauma-informed care. CN stated, That that trigger them we may inadvertently do and not know. We could put him too close to another resident who yells a lot and that might trigger him. We have to look out for his triggers and try to protect him from those.During an interview on 12/16/25 at 12:04 PM ADM, when asked if staff had been trained to provide trauma-informed care for Resident #6, stated, As far as I know we have trained them on his aggressive behaviors but I don't know about PTSD specifically because I was not even aware he has PTSD so I didn't check up on them (trainings). She stated she did not know what any of Resident #6's triggers were. She stated a resident with a history of trauma could probably be negatively impacted if staff did not provide trauma-informed care. ADM stated, It might cause them to have even more trauma.Record review of facility policy titled Trauma Informed Care and dated 11/2/2025 revealed the following: . It is the policy of this facility to provide care and services which in addition to meeting professional standards, are delivered using approaches which are culturally-competent, account for experiences and preference, and address the needs of trauma survivors by minimizing triggers and/or re-traumatization. ‘Trauma' results from an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or life threatening and that has lasting adverse effects on the individual's functioning and mental physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being. Common sources of trauma may include, but are not limited to: . f. War . i. Traumatic life events (death of a loved one, personal illness, etc.) ‘Trauma-Informed Care' is an approach to delivering care that involves understanding, recognizing and responding to the effects of all types of trauma. A trauma-informed approach to care delivery recognizes the widespread impact and signs and symptoms of trauma in residents, and incorporates knowledge about trauma into care plans, policies, procedures and practices to avoid re-traumatization. The facility will work to facilitate the principles of trauma informed care which include: a. Safety - Ensuring residents have a sense of emotional and physical safety. b.

F 0699 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete transparency - Efforts to establish a relationship based on trust, and clear and open communication between staff and the resident. c. Peer support and mutual self-help - If practicable, assist the resident in locating and arranging to attend support groups. d. Collaboration - an emphasis on partnering between residents and/or his or her representative, an all staff and disciplines involved in the resident's care in developing the plan of care. The facility will use a multi-pronged approach in identifying a resident's history of trauma, as well as his or her cultural preferences. This will include asking the resident about triggers that may be stressors or may prompt recall of a previous traumatic event as well as screening and assessment tools . The facility will collaborate with resident trauma survivors, and as appropriate, the resident's family, friends, the primary care physician, and any other health care professionals . to develop and implement individualized care plan interventions. The facility will identify triggers which may re-traumatize residents with a history of trauma. Trigger-specific interventions will identify ways to decrease the resident's exposure to triggers which re-traumatize the resident, as well as identify ways to mitigate or decrease the effect of the trigger on the resident and will be added to the resident's care plan. While most triggers are highly individualized, some common triggers may include, but are not limited to: a. Experiencing a lack of privacy or confinement in a crowded or small space. b. Exposure to loud noises, or bright/flashing lights. d. Sounds, smells, and physical touch. Trauma-specific care plan interventions will recognize the interrelation between trauma and symptoms of trauma such as substance abuse, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. These interventions will also recognize the survivor's need to be respected, informed, connected, and hopeful regarding their own recovery. In situations where a trauma survivor is reluctant to share their history, the facility will still try to identify triggers which may re-traumatize the resident, and develop care plan interventions which minimize or eliminate the effect of the trigger on the resident.

The dietary staff did not follow recipes for preparing the pureed bread for the lunch meal on 12/14/25 and 12/15/25 which altered the flavor of the bread. B. Foods from the test tray were not prepared by methods that conserve flavor. These failures could place any resident who consumes food prepared and served by dietary services at risk for dissatisfaction with the food and possible resulting nutrition deficit. Findings Included:In an observation and interview on 12/14/25 at 10:20 am, [NAME] H stated she had already pureed the foods for lunch and pointed to the steam table. She stated she had pureed the foods at 10:00 am and had used leftover sweet potatoes from the day before in the bread. She stated she always used leftover foods to puree bread. She stated she regularly used leftover cake, fruit and sweet potatoes to puree bread. She stated there were 4 residents with pureed diets. In an observation and interview on 12/14/25 at 1:00 pm, test trays were sampled. The pureed test tray consisted of pureed beef roast, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, a dinner roll and pineapple cake. The pureed bread was thick in texture extremely sweet and did not taste like bread. The bread tasted like sweet potatoes. The beef roast was very bland and needed salt.
