F 0563 Honor the resident's right to receive visitors of his or her choosing, at the time of his or her choosing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents maintained the right to receive visitors of his or her choosing at the time of his or her choosing for 1 of 1 facility reviewed for resident rights. Residents Affected - Many The facility failed to ensure all residents had the right to receive visitors between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. This failure placed residents at risk of isolation, decreased emotional well-being, and diminished quality of life. The findings included: During a confidential interview on 2/22/2024 at 2:30 PM, residents stated that staff members came into their rooms at 8:00 PM and informed the resident and their visitors that it was time for visitors to leave. The residents also stated that if a family member came to the facility after 8:00 PM and called or tried to ring the doorbell the family members were ignored by staff. Interview on 2/23/2024 at 12:10 PM, the Administrator stated there was a policy for visiting hours, and that visiting hours were generally from 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM, but they usually let residents have visitors later if it did not disrupt other residents. Interview on 2/23/2024 at 12:22 PM, CNA C stated CNA C was aware that visiting hours at the facility were from 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM, and that CNA C generally did not work in the evenings. CNA C was unaware if resident family members or other visitors were told to leave at 8:00 PM. Interview on 2/23/2024 at 12:25 PM, MA A stated visiting hours were from 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM, and MA A was unaware if visitors were made to leave at 8:00 PM. Interview and record review on 2/23/2024 at 2:15 PM, the Administrator stated facility policy allowed 24-hour access unless there was a safety concern, but generally visiting hours were known to be 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM. She also stated that there was a sign on the door that stated visiting hours were from 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM. The Administrator then provided a photocopy of the sign on the door, which read, Visiting Hours 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. Interview on 2/23/2024 at 2:34 PM, LVN D stated she knew visiting hours were from 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM, and that LVN D had not asked family members to leave after 8:00 PM.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 interviews and record reviews the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment for 1 of 8 residents (Residents #17) reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to care plan Resident #17's use of Clopidogrel 75 mg (blood thinner). This failures could have placed residents at risk of not having their needs met. Record review of Resident #17's face sheet dated 2/21/2024 revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnosis that included: Alzheimer's disease (is a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills). Hepatitis C( is an inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus.) Right hemiplegia( indicates paralysis on the right side of the body). Record review of Resident's # 17's Quarterly MDS Assessment , dated 2/21/2024, revealed a BIMS score of 12, which indicated moderate impaired cognition. Record review of Rresident 17's the Order Summary Report dated February 21, 2024, revealed the order Clopidogrel 75 mg, administer one tablet by mouth daily for hypertension. Record review of Care Plan, dated February 2024, did not reveal a care plan addressing use of medication Clopidogrel. In an Interview with the MDS Coord. on 2/22/2024 at 115 PM, she stated that clopidogrel was a blood thinner and not used for hypertension; She believes the original admitting nurse must have made a transcriber error when the resident was originally admitted in 2020, and no one had caught it. The MDS nurse added that the facility follows an interdisciplinary approach to care plans and the medication clopidogrel should be care planned. So the nursing team is on the same page in regard to resident's needs. In an interview with the DON on 2/23/2024 at 210 p.m., The DON stated that by the care plan not being updated on Resident # 17 to reflect that the Resident was on clopidogrel, a blood thinner, she risked not all team members being aware of the resident's needs. She added she was unaware that the care plan for Clopidogrel was not available but would ensure it was corrected. Record review of facility policy titled Care Planning Comprehensive, dated December 2023, revealed, Care Plan must reflect current recognized standards of practice for problem areas and condition.

F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure residents are free of any significant medication errors for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #63) reviewed for medication administration, in that: Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to prevent Resident #63 from being provided Midodrine, a medication designed to raise a person's blood pressure, while Resident #63 was assessed with blood pressure higher than the physician recommended parameters for providing the medication. This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving therapeutic effects of their medications and possible adverse reactions. The findings included: Record review of Resident #63's face sheet dated 2/23/2024 reflected a [AGE] year-old resident with an initial admission date of 1/01/2024 and diagnoses including major depressive disorder, and seizures. Record review of Resident #63's most recent MDS assessment, dated 1/08/2024, reflected a resident with a BIMS summary score of 15 , indicative of intact cognition. Record review of Resident #63's Order Summary Report, dated 2/23/2024, reflected an order that read Midodrine HCl Oral Tablet 5 MG (Midodrine HCl) Give 1 tablet by mouth three times a day for hypotension [low blood pressure] hold for SBP> [greater than]120, [indicating to nursing staff that the resident should not receive the Midodrine if their systolic blood pressure was above 120]. Record review of Resident #63's Medication Administration Record, dated 2/23/2024, reflected that of the 64 times the resident was scheduled to be administered midodrine, 23 doses were administered out of physician parameters with Resident #63's systolic blood pressure being over 120: 1/06/2024 at 1:00 PM when Resident #63's systolic blood pressure was 129 administered by MA F; 1/12/2024 at 5:00 PM when Resident #63's systolic blood pressure was 148 administered by MA A; 1/20/2024 at 5:00 PM when Resident #63's systolic blood pressure was 128 administered by MA G; 1/29/2024 at 5:00 PM when Resident #63's systolic blood pressure was 131 administered by MA H ; 2/02/2024 at 9:00 AM when Resident #63's systolic blood pressure was 121 administered by LVN I; 2/03/2024 at 9:00 AM when Resident #63's systolic blood pressure was 135 administered by MA F; 2/03/2024 at 5:00 PM when Resident #63's systolic blood pressure was 146 administered by LVN J; 2/04/2024 at 9:00 AM when Resident #63's systolic blood pressure was 133 administered by MA G; 2/04/2024 at 1:00 PM when Resident #63's systolic blood pressure was 133 administered by MA G; (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675138 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 11 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 675138 B.

MA A stated a risk to the resident for the medication being given out of parameters was that the resident could go to the hospital. Interview on 2/22/2024 at 5:00 PM in a group interview with the DON present, the Administrator stated that their expectation was for medications to be administered as ordered by the physician. Record review of facility policy, undated, titled Medication and Treatment Orders, reflected, Orders for medications and treatments will be consistent with principles of safe and effective order writing.
