This survey cited 6 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0640 Encode each resident’s assessment data and transmit these data to the State within 7 days of assessment. 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 review, the facility failed to ensure within 14 days after a facility completed a resident's assessment, the facility electronically transmitted encoded, accurate, and complete MDS data to the CMS System upon a resident's transfer, reentry, discharge, and death, for 1 of 8 residents (Resident #4) reviewed for transmitted MDS data to the CMS System.The facility failed to transmit a discharge MDS assessment to the CMS system for Resident #4.This deficient practice could place residents at risk of MDS inaccuracies.Record review of Resident #4's admission Record dated [DATE] documented a [AGE] year-old male who was originally admitted to the facility [DATE] and most recently admitted on [DATE]. The diagnoses for Resident #4 included alcoholic cirrhosis of liver with ascites (liver disease with accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity), Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathic arthropathy (a severe complication of diabetes where nerve damage leads to progressive, destructive joint degeneration), unspecified combined systolic and diastolic heart failure (a condition where the heart has both impaired contraction [(systolic)] and reduced filling [(diastolic)], preventing efficient pumping) and Alzheimer's Disease (a progressive, irreversible neurodegenerative disorder that destroys memory, thinking skills and eventually the ability to function). Record review of Resident #4's Nurses Notes revealed Resident #4 expired on [DATE] with a hospice nurse at his bedside. Record review of Resident #4's Significant Change MDS dated [DATE] in Section O K1 was checked for hospice care which indicated he was admitted to hospice care within the last 14 days. There was no documentation of a Discharge MDS for Resident #4. During an interview with the MDS Coordinator on [DATE] at 5:26 pm, she stated she failed to complete a Discharge MDS following Resident #4's death. The MDS Coordinator stated it was important to complete all required MDS Assessments so CMS would have accurate information regarding residents in long term care. Record review of the facility's MDS Transmission policy stated:All Medicare and/or Medicaid-certified nursing homes and swing beds, or agents of those facilities, must transmit required MDS data records to CMS' Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (QIES) Assessment Submission and Processing (ASAP) system. Required MDS records are those assessments and tracking records that are mandated under OBRA and SNF PPS. --Tracking Information Transmission: For Entry and Death in Facility tracking records, information must be transmitted within 14 days of the Event Date. Residents Affected - Few 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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

The facility failed to ensure Resident #10's baseline care plan reflected the residents immediate need for support with an indwelling urinary catheter.2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #10's baseline care plan was developed within 48 hours of admission. These failures could place residents at risk of a decline in health status.The findings include: A record review of Resident #10's admission record, dated 2/12/2026, revealed an admission date of 10/10/2024. Resident #10 had diagnoses which included hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting the right side (result from damage to the left hemisphere of the brain, often due to stroke, tumors, or injury. Causing reduced motor control, strength, and mobility in the right arm, leg, and sometimes face), retention of urine (not all urine is expelled), and history of urinary tract infections. A record review of Resident #10's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 1/14/2026, revealed Resident #10 was a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted for long term care related to supports with ADL care. Resident #10 was assessed with a BIMS score of 15 out of a possible score of 15, which indicated no cognitive impairment. A record review of Resident #10 physicians' orders, dated 2/12/2026, revealed on 01/30/2026, the physician prescribed Resident #10 would receive an indwelling urinary catheter and support for the catheter; change if occluded, or closed system was compromised, or leaking. The physician ordered for the urinary catheter system to be monitored for leakage, blockage, sediment buildup, or low output. A record review of Resident #10's baseline care plan, dated 1/30/2026, revealed the baseline care plan did not have any focuses, goals, or interventions for Resident #10's indwelling urinary catheter. A record review of Resident #10's care plan, dated 2/12/2026, revealed the care plan had been revised on 2/9/2026 and again on 2/11/2026 after state surveyor interventions, The resident has urinary tract infection . provide incontinence care as needed . The resident is on enhanced barrier precautions . The resident has urinary retention . provide catheter care. During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 5:55 PM, LVN D stated Resident #10 had a recent hospitalization related to a UTI and had returned with a urinary catheter on 1/30/2026.

The facility failed to ensure Resident #9's prescribed diet for a regular diet texture with finger foods and ground textured meats, were reflected in the residents care plan. This failure could place residents at risk for a decline in their health status.The findings include:A record review of Resident #9's admission record, dated 2/10/2026, revealed an admission date of 12/20/2025. Resident #9 had diagnoses which included Parkinson's disease (a progressive, neurodegenerative brain disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons, leading to motor symptoms like tremors, stiffness, bradykinesia [slowness of movement], and walking/balance issues), functional quadriplegia (a condition of complete immobility in all four limbs caused by severe physical debility or illness, without injury to the brain or spinal cord) and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).

The DON stated residents were receiving the care specified in their orders, however, the care plan had not been revised to accurately reflect the care provided. The DON stated she was responsible for reviewing any new orders and would ensure the care plan reflected the new orders. The DON stated the potential negative outcome could be their care plan would not be accurate. A record review of the facility's, undated, policy titled Comprehensive Care Planning revealed, The facility will develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights 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 .
