Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide a private meeting space for
the residents' monthly council meetings for 8 of 8 confidential residents reviewed for resident council. The
facility failed to provide a private space for resident council meetings.This failure could place residents, who
attended resident council meetings, at risk of not being able to voice concerns due to a lack of privacy.
Findings included:During a confidential resident group interview with eight residents on 08/06/25 beginning
at 3:00 PM, the facility arranged for the meeting to be held in an open dining room located near the facility's
central nurses' station and front entry door. There were no doors that could be closed to ensure the
residents' privacy during the meeting. The Activity Director placed portable privacy screens in the middle of
the dining room and one by an entry door to the dining room. The Activity Director placed two signs outside
the dining room, which reflected: STOP Resident Council in Progress. Although the privacy screen provided
visual privacy, it did not provide any audial (sound) privacy. During the meeting, staff were observed walking
through the area while the meeting was in progress and there were staff standing by the central nurses'
station. The eight residents in attendance all reported that their monthly resident council meetings were
held in this open dining room area. The residents stated they had tried other areas of the facility, but there
were no private areas in the facility that would hold residents, especially if they used wheelchairs. The
residents stated they were used to the open area in the dining room. The residents denied expressing their
concern about the location. Interview on 08/07/25 at 11:05 AM, with the Activity Director revealed she had
only been at the facility for about a week. She stated yesterday (08/06/25) was the first time she had
assisted with scheduling a resident council meeting. She stated she had not had a resident council meeting
for the month of August 2025. The Activity Director stated she was not sure where to have the resident
council meeting. She stated she was trying to find a private place, and she thought it could be either
outside or in the conference room. She stated neither the Administrator, nor the DON, provided any
recommendations of where to have the resident council meeting. The Activity Director stated the residents
had the right to have a private meeting and be free to express themselves without having anyone who was
not in the meeting listening to them. Interview on 08/07/25 at 1:54 PM, with the Administrator revealed
since being the administrator at the facility the resident council meetings had been held in the dining area.
She stated the dining area would be blocked off, and they would place signs indicating that a meeting was
in progress. The Administrator stated before resident council meeting was held in a room, but depending on
the number of residents, who attended the meetings, they would move it to the dining area for more space.
She stated she was aware resident council meetings needed to be in a private area, that was why they got
the portable privacy screen dividers. She stated they were exploring options to find a better place for
resident council meetings. The Administrator stated resident council meetings were a time for residents to
address issues, talk freely, and not have any concerns of retaliation. Record review of the resident council
minutes for April 2025 and July 2025 revealed no requests for a private area. Record review of the facility's
current, undated Resident Council policy reflected in part the following: The facility is responsible for
providing an adequate space that residents may gather in confidence. A Do Not Disturb, Meeting in
progress sign should be posted.

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 resident (Resident #24) of 6 residents reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to
develop a person-centered comprehensive care plan for Resident #24, who was at high risk for elopement
and who had exit-seeking behaviors. Resident #24 eloped from the facility on 08/08/25, she was found near
an apartment complex on a busy street next to the facility by a passerby and brought her back to the facility.
The noncompliance was identified as past non-compliance. The Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) began on
08/08/25 and ended on 08/12/25. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began.
The failure placed the resident at risk for serious adverse outcomes including serious harm.Findings
included: Record review of Resident #24's annual MDS assessment, dated 07/10/25, reflected the resident
was an [AGE] year-old female, who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident's diagnoses
included Alzheimer's Disease (brain disorder caused by damage to nerve cells in the brain), anxiety
disorder (a mood disorder characterized by excessive, persistent, and uncontrollable fear and worry about
everyday situations), depression (a mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness and loss of
interest), diabetes mellitus (a chronic disease characterized by high level of sugar in the blood), muscle
wasting and atrophy (the decrease in size and wasting of muscle tissue), unsteadiness on feet and
unspecified lack of coordination. The MDS reflected Resident #24 had moderate cognitive impairment with
a BIMS score of 11. The MDS further reflected Resident #24 did not exhibit wandering behaviors. Record
review of Resident #24's care plan, dated 06/19/25, reflected care plan did not address Resident #24 exit
seeking behaviors. Record review of Resident #24's Elopement/Wandering Observation quarterly, dated
06/18/25, reflected Resident #24 was high risk for elopement. The evaluation indicated resident had a
medical diagnosis associated with confusion, which may indicate future likelihood of high-risk behavior(s).
Mobility: Resident is physically able to exit on foot or by wheelchair. Record review of Resident #24's
Elopement Risk Evaluation, dated 08/08/25, reflected Resident #24 was at risk for elopement. The
evaluation indicated Resident #24 had a history of attempting to leave the facility one or more times in last
week. Statement and/or treats to leave facility. Record review of Resident #24's progress notes dated
08/08/25 at 10:55 AM reflected: This nurse was notified by [NAME] Hall nurse that resident was found next
door by a resident of the apartment complex. Vitals and skin assessment normal to resident baseline.
MD/DON/RP notified. New orders given via telephone from MD: CBS/CMP/UA/Chest Xray. DON will enter

she was getting ready to do blood sugar checks when RN B brought Resident #24 to her and told her
someone from the apartment complex saw the resident outside and brought her back to the facility, rang

Resident #24 followed her out. LVN A stated Resident #24 saw the opportunity and went for it. She stated
Resident #24 had history of exit seeking, she stated she would always say I want the code for the door, if
someone was leaving the building resident would say I am going with them, she stated she would try to
push the door, and the alarms would go off. LVN A stated Resident #24 would be easily redirected and they
would keep her busy with activities. She stated resident would propel in her wheelchair and she was fast
moving around. LVN A stated she completed a head-to-toe assessment on Resident #24, and no injuries
were noted skin was intact. She stated she notified the doctor and Resident #24 family member. She stated
Resident #24 was placed on 1:1 supervision until she discharged to another facility on 08/11/25. LVN A
stated she could not recall if Resident #24's was care planned for being at risk of elopement. She stated the
DON was responsible for updating care plans. She stated if Resident #24 was exhibiting exit seeking
behaviors it should had been care planned. She stated care plans were needed to keep up with resident's
care, safety and have interventions in place. Interview on 09/03/25 at 12:38 PM, the DON revealed she was
informed by LVN A Resident #24 was found by a lady coming out of the apartment complex. The lady saw
resident, stopped her car and brought the resident back to the facility and asked if the resident lived here.
She stated the Activity Director was the one who opened the door and informed the lady that Resident #24
was a resident at the facility. She stated per LVN A last time she observed Resident #24 she was in the
dining area and resident was out for about 3-5 minutes. She stated Resident #24 would ambulate in her
wheelchair and was known to peddle fast on it. The DON stated Resident #24 was an elopement risk, she
stated an elopement assessment was completed on 08/08/25, and resident scored high risk. The DON
stated she could not locate any prior elopement assessment completed on Resident #24, then stated she
did not look to ensure if any were completed prior to the elopement but she knew resident was a high risk.
She stated Resident #24 had history of attempting to leave the facility, she stated one time unknown of date
of when it happened, Resident #24 was attempting to leave but was within eyesight of hers and she

until she discharged to another facility. She stated she was not sure if Resident #24 was care planned for
her exit seeking behaviors prior to being updated on 08/08/25. The DON reviewed Resident #24 and stated
resident had not been care planned for her behaviors. She stated the ADON C was responsible for
reviewing and updating care plans but since the ADON C left, she was not responsible for care plans. She
stated Resident #24 care plan was updated after her elopement and being on 1:1 supervisor. She stated
the potential risk of not care planning elopement behaviors would be staff not knowing the interventions in
place for high-risk residents for elopements. Interview on 09/03/25 at 1:03 PM, the Administrator revealed
Resident #24 had exited the facility on 08/08/25. She stated till this day they still do not know how resident

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the comprehensive care plan was reviewed
and revised by the interdisciplinary team after each assessment for 1 (Resident #32) of 6 residents for care
plan revisions. The facility failed to review and revise Resident #32's comprehensive care plan after the
MDS assessment was completed on 06/25/25. Resident #32's last care plan meeting was dated
08/07/24.This failure could affect residents and could result in resident's needs not being met. Record
review of Resident #32's face sheet, dated 08/07/25, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female
with an admission date of 08/03/23 and returned 03/08/25. Record review of Resident #32's quarterly MDS
assessment dated [DATE] reflected her diagnoses included hypertension (high blood pressure), dementia,
cognitive communication deficit, and depression. The MDS reflected the resident had severe cognitive
impairment with a BIMS score of 4. Record review of Resident #32's care plan, last reviewed/revised date
04/24/25 reflected Category: Return to community referral POA had no desire for [Resident #32] to return
to community. Staff will revisit on comprehensive assessments only. Goal: Resident needs will be met by
facility staff through the next review period. Approach: 1. Keep POA/[Resident #32] updated on the resident
plan of care. 2. Staff will maintain [Resident #32] needs. 3. Follow up with the [Resident #32]/POA annually.
Record review of Resident #32's Care Conference Report reflected the last care plan meeting was
completed on 08/07/24 for Annual Care Conference. Record review of Resident #32's progress notes
reflected no documentation regarding care plan meetings or family being made aware of care plan
conference meetings. Interview on 08/05/25 at 1:20 PM, Resident #32's Family Member A/POA revealed he
had concerns regarding Resident #32's care and wanted to address it with the facility. Resident #32's
Family Member A/POA stated he had not been invited to any care plan meetings to address his concerns.
Resident #32's Family Member A/POA stated he was not aware care plan meetings were held quarterly.
The last care plan meeting he had been invited to and attended was sometime last year 2024, exact date
unknown.Interview on 08/05/25 at 1:23 PM, Resident #32 revealed she had no concerns regarding her
care. Resident #32 was not a good historian and could not recall if she had attended a care plan meeting or
been asked to attend one.An attempt was made on 08/07/25 at 11:25 AM to contact the ADON C/MDS
Coordinator by phone; however, there was no answer. Interview on 08/07/25 at 12:52 PM, with the DON
revealed the Social Worker and ADON C, who was the MDS Coordinator, were responsible for coordinating
the care plan meetings. The DON stated the Social Worker or ADON C would inform her when a care plan
meeting was scheduled, and she would attend. She stated care plan meetings should be documented in
the residents' charts, and the Social Worker would keep notes of what was discussed during the meeting.
The DON stated she had been employed since February 2025, and she could not recall if Resident #32
had had a care plan meeting. She stated care plan meetings should be completed quarterly with family.
She stated both the Social Worker and ADON C were no longer employed by the facility. The DON stated
she was not aware Resident #32's care plan meetings were not being completed quarterly. She stated the
potential risk of not completing care plan meetings would be the team, family, and resident not being
informed about changes or areas that needed to be addressed regarding the resident. Interview on
08/07/25 at 1:50 PM, with the Administrator revealed the Social Worker and ADON C were responsible for
scheduling care plan meetings. She stated she was not aware Resident #32 had not had a care plan
meeting since 2024. She stated the IDT was responsible for conducting the care plan meetings. She stated

observations, record reviews, and interviews the facility failed to ensure residents maintained acceptable
parameters of nutritional status, such as usual body weight or desirable body weight range and electrolyte
balance, unless the resident's clinical condition demonstrates that this is not possible or resident
preferences indicate otherwise for 2 residents (Resident #6 and #7) of 5 residents reviewed for quality of
care. 1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #6, who received nutrition via tube feeding and had
unavoidable weight loss, was weighed weekly as ordered by the physician. 2. The facility failed to ensure
Resident #7, who had unplanned weight gain, was weighed weekly as ordered by the physician. This failure
could place the residents at risk of weight changes going unnoticed leading to a worsening of their medical
conditions. Findings included:1. Record review of Resident #6's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], reflected the
resident was an [AGE] year-old female, who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident's cognition was
intact with a BIMS score of 15. The MDS reflected the resident had a diagnosis of malnutrition (lack of
proper nutrition), she required substantial assistance with eating, and she had a feeding tube. The resident
also had a diagnosis of a pressure ulcer, which had resolved as of 08/03/25. Record review of Resident
#6's care plan, dated 04/10/25, reflected the resident was on a therapeutic diet, had poor nutritional intake,
and required a feeding tube. The care plan interventions included monthly weights and reporting to the
physician if the resident had a 5% weight loss or weight gain. The resident was also on hospice care.
Record review of Resident #6's physician orders reflected there was an order dated 11/12/24 for Resident
#6 to be weighed weekly due to the resident weighing less than 100 pounds and have a feeding tube.
Record review of Resident #6's weight records reflected she was weighed weekly after the physician order
was issued on 11/12/24 until 03/26/25. After 03/26/25, the resident was only weighed twice a month,
instead of weekly, until 05/07/25. After 05/07/25, the facility only weighed Resident #6 once a month instead
of weekly. The weight records reflected:01/01/25 - 87.2 pounds01/08/25 - 87.8 pounds01/15/25 - 93

review of Dietician notes from January 2025 to June 2025 reflected Resident #6's Dietician notes revealed
she was seen once a month until she entered hospice on 6/2/25. The dietician was aware of the resident's
weight losses, she made adjustments to the resident's enteral feedings, increasing the hourly amount from
60 ml/hr. to 70 ml/hr. and finally 80 ml.hr. Health shakes were added to her diet, two cans a day and then
three cans a day. Fortified foods were added to her menu selections as well.Record review of Resident #6's
hospice book records from 6/2/25 to 8/6/25 reflected the resident admitted herself to hospice because she
knew she was deteriorating, and a recent chest x-ray revealed a mass in her chest that was assumed to be
cancer. The hospice nursing notes revealed the resident complained of pain and anxiety at almost every
visit, and her pain and anxiety medications had been increased several times. Interview on 08/22/25 at
12:15 PM with Resident #6 revealed she was aware she was losing weight. She stated she just did not
have an appetite. She stated she opted for hospice to spare her spouse from having to take care of her.
She stated the last time she was in the hospital (July 2025), a mass was discovered in her chest. She
stated she refused any diagnostic testing and assumed it was some form of cancer. Resident #6 stated she
received her g-tube feedings at nighttime and during the day she received her meals with a shake.
