F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review (PASRR) program to include all residents with newly evident or possible serious mental disorder for 1 of 7 residents (Resident #28) reviewed for the PASRR program. The facility failed to ensure Resident #28 was referred for a PASRR (Level II) evaluation when she admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a possible serious mental disorder. This failure could place residents at risk for a diminished quality of life and not receiving necessary care and services in accordance with individually assessed needs.The findings included: Record review of the face sheet, dated 08/13/25, reflected Resident #28 was a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type (chronic mental health condition characterized primarily by symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations or delusions, and symptoms of a mood disorder, such as mania and depression). Record review of the PASRR Level 1 Screening form, dated 09/30/24, reflected Resident #28 had no evidence or indicator of a mental illness. No PASRR Level II screening was completed. Record review of the admission MDS assessment, dated 10/10/24, reflected Resident #28 was not considered by the state level II PASRR process to have serious mental illness. The MDS reflected Resident #28 had clear speech, was understood by others, and was able to understand others. Resident #28 had a BIMS score of 15, which indicated no cognitive impairment. Resident #28 had no documented behaviors or refusal of care during the look-back period. The MDS reflected Resident #28 had an active diagnosis of Schizophrenia, which included schizoaffective disorder. Record review of the comprehensive care plan, initiated on 10/07/24, reflected Resident #28 had a mood problem related to a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type and was taking psychotropic medication. During an interview on 08/13/25 beginning at 5:33 PM, the MDS Coordinator stated she was responsible for obtaining the PL1 from the referring entity, entering the PL1 into the system, and coordinating with the local authority when it was needed. The MDS Coordinator stated she reviewed the PL1 and any diagnoses prior to the residents admitting to the facility. The MDS Coordinator stated if the PL1 was inaccurate and needed to be changed, she normally called the hospital or referring entity and asked them to change it, or she would change it in the system, or a form 1012 could have been completed, as needed. The MDS Coordinator stated some of the diagnoses that she looked for prior to admission were schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The MDS Coordinator stated the local authority made the determination of eligibility after a positive PL1 was submitted. The MDS Coordinator stated Resident #28's PL1 screening should have been positive for mental illness because of her diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. The MDS Coordinator stated she was not working full time at the facility during the time period Resident #28 admitted . The MDS Coordinator stated she was going to enter a new PL1 and notify the local authority. During an interview on 08/13/25 beginning at 6:08 PM, the Administrator stated she expected the correct PASRR documentation to have been on file at (continued on next page) 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.

The Administrator stated if the PL1 screening was incorrect, it should have been fixed so the local authority could have completed the level II PASRR evaluation. The Administrator stated the MDS coordinator was responsible for coordinating the PASRR services and performed audits on admission. The Administrator stated it was important to ensure PL1 screening was accurate to ensure residents received the correct services at the facility. Record review of the admission Criteria policy, revised March 2019, reflected all new admissions and readmissions are screened for mental disorders (MD), intellectual disabilities (ID) or related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid PASRR process. the facility conducts a Level 1 PASRR screen for all potential admission, regardless of payer source to determine if the individual meets the criteria for a MD, ID, or RD. if the level I screen indicates that the individual may meet the criteria for a MD, ID, or RD, he or she is referred to the state PASRR representative for the Level II (evaluation and determination) screening process .

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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan to meet each resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs for 2 of 16 residents reviewed for care plans. (Resident #8, Resident #43)1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #8's care plan had interventions to be used for the use of a self-releasing seat belt, on his motorized wheelchair. 2. The facility failed to implement the comprehensive person-centered care plan for Resident #43's low air loss mattress on the correct settings for her current weight. These failures could place residents at risk of not having individual needs met, a decreased quality of life, and cause residents not to receive needed services. Findings include: 1. Record review of Resident #8’s face sheet dated 8/12/25 indicated Resident #8 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #8 had diagnoses including cerebral palsy (is a group of conditions that affect movement and posture), paraplegia (is paralysis that affects your legs, but not your arms), abnormal posture, and contractures (is a type of scarring in your soft tissues that causes them to tighten and stiffen). Record review of Resident #8’s consolidated physician order dated 8/12/25 indicated may use motorized wheelchair for mobility when out of bed. If motorized wheelchair is unable to be used, may use Geri-chair for mobility related to contractures and poor trunk control. Ordered date 5/6/25. Record review of Resident #8’s quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #8 was usually understood and had the ability to understand others. Resident #8 had unclear speech, adequate hearing, and impaired vision with corrective lenses. Resident #8 had a BIMS score of 99 which indicated the resident was unable to complete the interview. Resident #8 had short term memory call problem and moderately impaired cognitive skill for daily decision making. Resident #8 had functional limitation in range of motion to the upper and lower extremities, on both sides of his body. Resident #8 used a wheelchair for mobility. Resident #8 was dependent for ADLs. Resident #8 was not coded for a physical restraint. Record review of Resident #8’s care plan sated 4/24/25 indicated Resident #8 was at risk for falls related to decreased safety awareness, paraplegia, psychoactive drug use, vision/hearing problems, incontinence, cerebral palsy, chronic flexion contractures (is a long-term inability to fully extend a joint, meaning the joint is stuck in a bent position) to upper/lower extremities, muscle spasms, pain and spina bifida (is a condition that occurs when the spine and spinal cord don't form properly). Resident #8 has self-releasing seat belt because Resident stated, he “feels safer with it on.” Resident #8 was able to release upon request. Resident #8’s care plan did not reflect interventions or services that would attain or maintain the resident’s physical well-being for the use of a self-releasing seat belt. During an observation on 8/12/25 at 9:40 a.m., LVN C and CNA F placed Resident #8 in a motorized wheelchair. CNA F buckled Resident #8’s seat belt. CNA F asked Resident #8 to release the seat belt. After CNA F and LVN C asked Resident #8 two more times and CNA F showed him the release button, he successfully pushed the button.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 8/13/25 at 12:45 p.m., the MDS Coordinator said she was responsible for the initial care plans and care plans after the MDS assessments. She said the DON and ADON were responsible for acute care plans. She said the interventions were important for the monitoring and assessment of the care plan problem. She said the IDT met to discuss the resident’s care plan on admission and quarterly. She said the DON and Regional/Corporate MDS Coordinator were responsible for overseeing the MDS Coordinator. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 2:42 p.m., LVN D said the ADON and DON was responsible for the residents’ care plans. She said Resident #8’s use of the seat belt on his wheelchair should be care planned. She said the interventions were important to assess the safety of the seat belt. She said the staff should make sure Resident #8 was able to release the seat belt and the seat belt was working properly. She said if Resident #8 use of the seat belt was not assessed, it placed the resident at risk for falls. She said Resident #8 could hurt himself. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 3:03 p.m., LVN C said the DON or a RN was responsible for the residents’ care plans. She said Resident #8’s use of the seat belt on his wheelchair should be care planned with interventions. She said the staff should make sure Resident #8 was able to release the seat belt and the seat belt was functioning correctly. She said the care plan was important to let the staff know what interventions were in place, what had been tried, and what to expect from the facility. She said Resident #8’s seat belt not being care planned with intervention was a safety issue. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 3:04 p.m., the DON said the IDT was responsible for the residents’ care plans. She said Resident #8’s wheelchair seat belt needed interventions for monitoring and assessment. She said the interventions were important to know what to monitor to prevent injury. She said the facility did not consider Resident #8’s seat belt as a restraint because he could release it. She said the facility should have still developed a care plan with interventions to ensure it did not become a restraint. She said when the care plan problem did not have interventions, the residents’ needs could not be met. She said the IDT monitored each other to ensure the residents’ care plans were complete. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 5:02 p.m., the ADM said the DON was responsible for developing care plan interventions for Resident #8’s wheelchair seat belt. She said the care plan interventions were important to ensure Resident #8’s seat belt was not a restraint. She said when the resident’s care plan problem did not have interventions, the resident’s needs could not be met. She said the IDT oversaw the care planning process. She said the IDT reviewed the residents’ care plans during the daily “stand up” meetings. 2. Record review of Resident #43’s admission Record indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included contracture of right knee (a condition characterized by the inability to fully extend the knee joint), dementia (a general term for a decline in cognitive function that affects memory, thinking, and social abilities, significantly interfering with daily life), essential hypertension (a form of high blood pressure that occurs when the pressure in your blood vessels is consistently too high), severe protein-calorie malnutrition (serious health condition stemming from an insufficient intake or absorption of protein) and major depression disorder (a mood disorder that cause persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest). Record review of Resident #43's Annual MDS dated [DATE] revealed that the resident did not have a BIMS score indicating Resident #43 was rarely or never understood.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm #43 was dependent with all ADL’s such as eating, toileting, bathing, dressing upper and lower body, and transfers. The MDS revealed Resident #43 weighed 104 lbs. Record review of Resident #43's Care Plan revised on 7/22/2025, revealed Resident had Deep tissue injury to Right Distal Lateral foot with interventions for a low air loss mattress for pressure relief. Residents Affected - Few Record review of Resident #43’s weight and vital sign summary dated 8/13/2025 revealed on 5/22/2023 Resident weighed 104.2 lbs. During observation on 8/12/2025 at 1:57 PM, observed Resident #43 lying in bed on her left side with covers pulled up. Resident #43 was nonverbal and unable to communicate. During an observation and interview on 8/12/2025 at 2:33 PM, Resident #43 was lying in bed and wearing pressure relieving boots to bilateral lower extremities. The ADON said Resident #43 was on Hospice care. The ADON said Resident #43 was contracted on her lower extremities and wore the pressure relieving boots to her bilateral lower extremities. The ADON said Resident #43 was followed by a wound care specialist. The ADON said Resident #43 rubs her legs in her bed which she felt contributed to her DTI (deep tissue injury) (a serious condition that affect the underlying layers of skin and soft tissue, often resulting from sustained pressure or shear forces). The ADON said the DTI (deep tissue injury) was closed and she was not required to be on EBP (Enhanced Barrier Precautions) (Infectious control measures designed to reduce the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms in healthcare settings). The ADON said Resident #43 was unable to position herself and required a Hoyer lift and a Geri-chair (geriatric chair). The ADON said Resident #43 had wounds on her bottom but had healed and the facility left Resident #43 on the low air loss mattress for prevention. The ADON looked at the settings and said it was set on 210. She said the Geri-chair must have bumped the setting and said the setting was not correct. The ADON said more pressure could cause a skin injury. The ADON said she was going to check on Resident #43’s weight and adjust the setting after checking the orders and update the orders if there was not one. During an interview on 8/13/2025 at 12:39 PM, LVN K said Resident #43 had an air loss mattress. She said Resident #43 was to be repositioned every 2 hours and had these wounds in the past stating that the wounds had healed and reopened. LVN K said Resident #43 was terminal and the wounds were unavoidable. LVN said Resident #43 did not have any current wounds to her bottom. LVN K said the staff gets her up in the Geri-chair. LVN K said normally the staff does not touch the settings on the low air loss mattress and said she did not know if the settings were supposed to be on an order. LVN K reviewed Resident #43’s order and said there was not an order. She said the low air loss mattress settings were based on the weight of the resident. She said the low air loss mattress would circulate to ensure the pressure was not in one spot. LVN K said it could cause pressure sores and skin breakdown if not on the correct settings. During an interview on 8/13/2025 at 1:39 PM, the Wound Care Physician said he started seeing Resident #43 a couple of weeks ago. He said she was currently wearing her pressure relieving boots. He said Resident #43 likes to turn on her right side and he said the deep tissue injury was unavoidable due to her contractures. He felt with her wearing the boots, she would be ok. The Wound Care Physician said sometimes people turn up the settings on the low air loss mattress while positioning a resident. He said more air could cause more pressure. He said Resident #43’s wound was scabbed over and not ready to come off yet. He said Resident #43’s wound showed no signs of infection.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 813/2025 at 4:13 PM, the Administrator said she expected the nurses to check the settings on the low air loss mattress to ensure it was on the proper settings. The Administrator said she thought there should be specific settings on the care plan and orders. The Administrator said a resident could develop pressure ulcers if the low air loss mattress was not on the proper setting. The Administrator said the ADON and DON were responsible for ensuring the orders were on the care plan and the settings were correct. During an interview on 8/13/2025 at 4:36 PM, the DON said she expected the nurses and aides to assess Resident #43 low air loss mattress and for it to be on the proper settings. The DON said she was working on order to make sure they were specific. The DON said the aides could place the settings on static while they are positioning a resident but would need to be placed back on the correct setting. The DON said there was a potential for skin breakdown or if a resident had a current skin issue, it could make a wound worse. The DON said it could be a comfort issue as well. The DON said she had started an in-service with staff and was adding a task for the aides to check as well. Record review of a facility policy revised on December of 2016 titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered revealed, A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident…the care plan interventions are derived from a thorough analysis of the information gathered as part of the comprehensive assessment…describe the services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident’s highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being…” FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675387 If continuation sheet Page 6 of 28 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 675387 B.

The facility failed to revise and update Resident #6's care plan after she was coded on the annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] for use of a diuretic and an antiplatelet. This failure could affect residents by placing them at risk of not receiving appropriate interventions to meet their current needs.Findings included: Record review of Resident #6's face sheet dated 8/12/25 indicated Resident #6 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #6 had diagnoses including hemiplegia (is paralysis that affects only one side of your body) and hemiparesis (is one-sided muscle weakness) following cerebral infarction (is the death of brain tissue due to a blockage of blood flow), other cerebral infarction due to occlusion or stenosis of small artery (a blockage or narrowing of a small blood vessel, which can restrict blood flow and potentially lead to tissue damage) and hypertension (is when the force of blood pushing against your artery walls is consistently too high). Record review of Resident #6's annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #6 was usually understood and usually had the ability to understand others. Resident #6 had a BIMS score of 14 which indicated intact cognition. Resident #6 had received a diuretic (are medicines that help reduce fluid buildup in the body) and an antiplatelet (are medications that prevent platelets from sticking together and forming blood clots) during the last 7 days. Record review of Resident #6's care plan dated 8/6/24 indicated Resident #6 had hemiplegia and hemiparesis related to previous cerebral infarction. Intervention included give medications as ordered and monitor/document for side effects and effectiveness. Resident #6's care plan did not reflect use of a diuretic and an antiplatelet. Record review of Resident #6's consolidated physician orders dated 8/12/25 indicated:*Aspirin 81mg Oral tablet Delayed Release, give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day related to hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, other cerebral infarction due to occlusion or stenosis of small artery. Ordered date 3/7/25. *Spironolactone Oral Tablet 25mg, give 25mg by mouth one time a day for edema. Ordered date 2/24/25. Record review of Resident #6's MAR dated 8/1/25-8/31/25 indicated:*Aspirin 81mg Oral tablet Delayed Release, give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day related to hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, other cerebral infarction due to occlusion or stenosis of small artery. Resident #6 received 12 out of 12 scheduled doses. *Spironolactone Oral Tablet 25mg, give 25mg by mouth one time a day for edema. Resident #6 received 12 out of 12 scheduled doses. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 12:45 p.m., the MDS Coordinator said the resident's care plans were revised with the MDS assessments and changes of condition. She said each department of the IDT were responsible for updating the care plan, after the MDS assessment. She said the resident's care plans were reviewed and updated quarterly. She said Resident #6's use of a diuretic and an antiplatelet should have been care planned. She said she normally only care planned the major antiplatelets on the resident's care plans. She said the resident's medications should be care planned to know which type of medications the resident was on and what to monitor for. She said when a resident's medications were not care planned, the comorbidities it was treating may not be monitored or assessed. She said the DON and Regional/Corporate MDS Coordinator were responsible for overseeing her. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 2:00 p.m., the ADON A said the MDS Coordinator with the assistance of the DON were responsible for revising and updating care plans after the MDS assessment.

She said the antiplatelet needed to be care planned to assess and monitor for the side effects. She said if the resident had a fall and would not stop bleeding, the facility needed to know why. She said if the resident's medications were not care planned, it placed the resident at risk for not being assessed or monitored and affected the level of care and needs provided. She said the IDT should review the resident's care plan to ensure it was revised by the MDS Coordinator. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 2:42 p.m., LVN D said the DON, ADON and SS were responsible for updating the resident's care plan. She said it was important to care plan the resident's medications to know the history, diagnosis, and care needs. She said when medications were not care planned, the resident could not get the care they needed. She said the staff could think the resident was urinating too much and had an UTI (is when bacteria gets into your urinary tract- kidneys, bladder, or urethra) but it was from the diuretics. She said a resident on an antiplatelet needed to be monitored for excessive bleeding, bleeding gums, and blood in the stool. She said those things were normally on the resident's care plan to do. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 3:04 p.m., the DON said the MDS Coordinator was responsible for updating the care plan after the MDS assessment. She said but all the IDT was responsible for the care plans. She said she would expect Resident #6's diuretic and antiplatelet use to be care planned. She said they should be care planned to ensure the facility was providing accurate care. She said the medications needed to be monitored and assessed. She said the ADM and Regional MDS Coordinator oversaw the MDS Coordinator. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 5:02 p.m., the ADM said the MDS Coordinator was responsible for updating the resident's care plan after a MDS assessment was done. She said she would expect Resident #6's diuretic and antiplatelet use to be care planned. She said the resident's care needed to be revised after the MDS assessment, so everyone knew what was being used and what for. She said when the resident's care plan was not updated, the resident's needs could not be met. She said the DON and Regional MDS Coordinator oversaw the MDS Coordinator. She said the resident's care plan were reviewed daily during stand up meetings. Record review of a facility's Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered policy revised 12/2016 indicated, .assessments of the resident are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the residents and the residents condition change. the Interdisciplinary Team must review and update the care plan.at least quarterly, in conjunction with the required quarterly MDS assessment.

The facility failed to ensure LVN C did not place Resident #8 feeding tubing, in his bed during g-tube medication administration on 8/12/25. This failure could place a resident at risk for an infection. Findings included:Record review of Resident #8's face sheet dated 8/12/25 indicated Resident #8 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #8 had diagnoses including cerebral palsy (is a group of conditions that affect movement and posture), paraplegia (is paralysis that affects your legs, but not your arms), abnormal posture, contractures (is a type of scarring in your soft tissues that causes them to tighten and stiffen), and artificial openings of gastrointestinal tract status. Record review of Resident #8's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #8 was usually understood and had the ability to understand others. Resident #8 had unclear speech, adequate hearing, and impaired vision with corrective lenses. Resident #8 had a BIMS score of 99 which indicate the resident was unable to complete the interview.

Record review of Resident #8's care plan dated 5/9/24 indicated Resident #8 required an alternate method of nourishment due to nothing by mouth status and required use of feeding tube. Intervention included g-tube site (is a feeding tube inserted through the abdomen into the stomach) assessed every shift and notify MD of signs and symptoms of infection. During an observation on 8/12/25 at 9:00 a.m., LVN C disconnected Resident #8 feeding tubing from the g-tube site. LVN C placed the feeding tubing directly on the bed, towards the foot of the bed. LVN C checked Resident #8's residual and g-tube placement. LVN C reattached the feeding tubing to the g-tube. LVN C prepped her medication for administration. LVN C disconnected Resident #8's feeding tubing from the g-tube site. LVN C placed the tubing on the bed, near his chest and arm area. The tip of the feeding tubing was visualized touching the bed sheets. After medication administration, LVN C reconnected the feeding tubing to Resident #8's g-tube site and restarted the enteral feedings. During an interview on 8/12/25 at 2:06 p.m., the DON said the nursing staff should store the feeding tubing, when it was disconnected from the resident, where it could be kept clean. She said the tubing should not be placed on the bed or hanging in the wind. She said the nursing staff could use the cap that came with the feeding syringe to cover it. She said the facility's policy and procedure did not specify, not to lay it on the bed. She said it was best practice to store the tubing in a clean environment. She said if Resident #8's tubing was placed in the bed and reattached to the resident, it needed to be discarded. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 2:00 p.m., the ADON A said the resident's feeding tubing needed to be recapped when it was not in use.
