Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through
support of resident choice.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to promote resident self-determination through
support of resident choice for 4 of 19 residents reviewed for resident rights. (Resident #16, Resident #33,
Resident #40, and Resident #64). The facility failed to ensure Resident #16, Resident #33, Resident #40,
and Resident #64 were allowed to smoke two cigarettes during the facility smoking times. This failure could
place dependent residents at risk for feelings of depression or lack self-determination and decreased
quality of life.Findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #16's face sheet, dated 08/25/25, indicated
she was a [AGE] year-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included major
depressive disorder (A mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of
interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(a chronic lung disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to airflow
obstruction). Record review of Resident #16's admission MDS assessment, dated 07/14/25, indicated she
had a BIMS score of 15, which indicated intact cognition. She was able to make herself understood and she
was able to understand others. During an interview on 08/25/2025 at 10:06 AM, Resident #16 said she
wished that she was able to smoke 2 cigarettes when she goes out to smoke at the designated smoking
times. She said she had asked before and the staff always gave an excuse such as I forgot or I have to ask
someone. She said the Administrator told her I have to ask corporate. She said she was going to go to the
10:30AM smoke time on this day and was going to ask the staff if she could have a second cigarette.
During an interview on 08/25/25 at 10:41AM Resident #16 said at the 10:30AM smoke time on this day, she
asked Dietary Aide B if she could have a second cigarette and Dietary Aide B would not let her have a
second cigarette. She said the staff that supervised the residents during smoke times only brought enough
cigarettes outside for each resident to have one cigarette. During an interview on 08/26/25 at 9:57AM
Resident #16 said it made her upset that she was unable to have a second cigarette at the smoke times.
She said she did not understand why she could not have 2 cigarettes in this facility when other nursing
facilities allowed her to have two cigarettes at a smoke time. 2. Record review of Resident #33's face sheet,
dated 08/25/25, indicated he was a [AGE] year-old male, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses
included anxiety disorder (A mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that
are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a
chronic lung disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to airflow obstruction).
Record review of Resident #33's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 06/27/25, indicated he had a BIMS
score of 12, which indicated moderate cognitive impairment. He was able to make himself understood and
he was able to understand others. During an interview on 08/25/2025 at 9:50 AM, Resident #33 said he

time. He said he has asked in the past and the staff would not let him have a second cigarette. 3. Record
review of Resident #40's face sheet, dated 08/26/25, indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female, admitted
to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a chronic lung
disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to airflow obstruction). Record

15, which indicated intact cognition. She was able to make herself understood and she was able to
understand others. During an interview on 08/26/25 at 10:04AM Resident #40 said the staff did not allow
the residents to smoke 2 cigarettes at a smoke time. She said she has asked in the past and the staff told
her No, we cannot do that. She said the staff only brought enough cigarettes for each resident to have one.
She said it made her upset she could not have two cigarettes at a smoke time because she was not always
able to make it to all of the smoking times. She said she took a diuretic medication that makes her use the
bathroom often and she was not always able to make it outside at the smoking times. 4. Record review of
Resident #64's face sheet, dated 08/26/25, indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female, admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included heart failure (a condition where the heart muscle is weakened or
stiffened, making it unable to pump blood effectively). Record review of Resident #64's quarterly MDS

them to have 2 cigarettes at a smoke time. She said she has asked the staff before, and they told her it was
against facility policy. She said it made her upset that she could not have a second cigarette. During an
observation on 08/25/25 at 10:31AM, there were 5 residents outside smoking, including Resident #64,
Resident #16, and Resident #33. Dietary Aide B was outside supervising the residents. During the
observation Resident #16 asked if she could have a second cigarette and Dietary Aide B told her no.
During an interview on 08/25/25 at 10:39AM, Dietary Aide B said that she would allow the residents to
smoke a second cigarette if they asked. She said she did not deny Resident #16 a second cigarette. She
said Resident #16 said she was going to have a second cigarette at the next smoke time. During an
anonymous resident group interview on 08/26/2025 at 2:00 PM, the group said the staff had never let them
smoke more than 1 cigarette during a session. They further indicated they were told by staff that the staff
made a decision on 08/25/25 that the residents were allowed to have 2 cigarettes and they were only still
getting one. They said they felt degraded, and one resident in the group said they came to this facility
because they allowed the residents to smoke. They said they felt it was their right to smoke more than one
cigarette if they wanted. Record review of a Resident Council Report, dated 08/04/25, reflected: .Smokers
would like to know if they can have 2 cigarettes instead of 1. During an observation on 08/27/25 at 9:35AM,
ADON A pulled out the smoking supplies safe at the nursing station to show to the surveyor. The box had a
sign taped to it and the sign reflected: 08/25/25 [Attention] Staff:Residents will be allowed to smoke 2

She said the procedure was that the residents were only able to have 1 cigarette at each smoke time. She
said it had been that way since she started at the facility. She said she did not think it was her place to
question the residents only being allowed to have one cigarette. She said on Monday 08/25/25 the

they should allow the residents to have 2 cigarettes at the smoke times. She said the residents should be
allowed to have the right to have 2 cigarettes. She said if she was unable to have more than one cigarette
she would be upset. During an interview on 08/27/25 at 12:31PM the DON said she felt the residents had
the right to smoke 2 cigarettes at each smoke time. She said the staff recently had a discussion with the
Administrator to allow the residents to smoke 2 cigarettes. She said they were now allowed to have two
cigarettes when they smoked. She said the procedure that the residents were only allowed 1 cigarette
came from everyone thinking it was common practice. She said a resident could be offended if they were
denied 2 cigarettes. She said the facility was their home and they should be allowed to smoke two if they
desire. During an interview on 08/27/25 at 12:39PM the Administrator said she was unaware of the
residents only being allowed 1 cigarette. She said it was not a rule. She said she was okay with the
residents having more than one cigarette if they wanted. She said she put a note on the smoking supplies
box that the residents could have more than 1 cigarette if they wanted. She said there was not a policy or
document that reflected the residents could only have one resident. She said she figured that the staff only
gave each resident 1 cigarette because it was how they thought things were done. She said she thought
the residents would be frustrated. She said she feels like it is a resident right to have more than one
cigarette. Record review of the facility's policy, Resident Rights, last revised August of 2020, reflected:
.residents have a right to a dignified existence, self-determination, and communication with and access to
persons and services inside and outside the facility including those specified in this policy. Record review of
the facility's policy, Smoking by Residents, last revised June of 2020, reflected: .X. Smoking session will be
limited to 15-minute segments.The policy did not address the number of cigarettes a resident would be
allowed to smoke at a time.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure assessments accurately reflected the resident status
for 2 of 19 residents (Resident #3 and Resident #12) reviewed for MDS assessment accuracy. The facility
did not ensure Resident #3's and Resident #12's MDS assessments accurately identified a medication as
an anti-platelet instead of an anticoagulant. These failures could place residents at risk for not receiving
care and services to meet their needs.Findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #3's face sheet,
dated 08/26/25, indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included dementia (a group of conditions that cause a progressive decline in cognitive abilities),
and type 2 diabetes mellitus (chronic disease where your body either doesn't produce enough insulin or
doesn't use insulin properly, leading to high blood sugar levels). Record review of Resident #3's quarterly
MDS assessment, dated 08/04/25, indicated she did not have a BIMS score due to her rarely/never being
understood. She rarely/never understood others. The assessment further indicated she took an
anticoagulant medication. Record review of Resident #3's physician's orders, dated 08/25/25, indicated the
following orders:*Aspirin Low Dose oral tablet chewable 81mg (an antiplatelet medication used to prevent
cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes) Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day. The start date
was 07/11/24.* Clopidogrel Bisulfate oral tablet 75mg (an antiplatelet medication used to prevent heart
