Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the resident has the right to be informed of, and participate in, his or her treatment, including the right to be informed in advance of the risks and benefits of proposed care, of treatment and treatment alternatives or treatment options and to choose the alternative or option he or she prefers for 1 (Residents #9) of 6 residents reviewed for resident rights. The facility failed to obtain an informed consent for the use of Ativan (an antianxiety medication) used for Resident #9. This failure could place residents at risk of receiving medications without prior consent and without the option to choose alternative treatment or decline based on awareness of risk and benefits of the medications. Findings included: Record review of Resident #9's comprehensive care plan, dated 02/21/25, reflected Resident #9 used anti-anxietymedications related to anxiety disorder. Interventions included: Educate the residents/family/caregivers about risks, benefits and the side effects and/or toxic symptoms of anti-anxiety medication drugs being given. Record review of Resident #9's Physicians Order Summary Report for the month of December 2025 reflected an order for Ativan (an antianxiety medication) one tablet by mouth two times daily for anxiety dated 06/17/2025. Record review of Resident #9's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 12/08/2025, reflected she was admitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included respiratory failure, atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rate), and hypertension (elevated blood pressure). Resident #9 was coded as being dependent on staff for shower/bathing. Resident #9 had a BIMS score of 02 , which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Record review of Resident #9's electronic medical records for dates of 02/08/2024 thru 12/19/2025 reflected there was no informed consent for Ativan on file. In an observation and interview on 12/16/2025 at 10:30 a.m., Resident #9 stated she had no complaints related to care. Resident #9 appeared clean with her hair combed and was dressed appropriacy for the weather. In an interview on 12/19/2025 at 1:15 p.m., LVN O stated, I don't think we have to do a consent for Ativan routine only as needed. She stated staff normally obtain consents for Ativan. She stated she was not sure where the Ativan consent was located at this time. LVN O stated the nurse who received the order for medication requiring a consent was responsible for obtaining it at the time the order was received. She stated if consent were not obtained the family would not be aware of side effects. In an interview on 12/19/25 at 1:30 p.m. ADON L stated the nurse who took the orders for any medication requiring informed consent, should obtain consent at that time. She stated the assistant directors were responsible for reviewing orders and ensuring consents were in the electronic medical record. ADON L stated the purpose of the consent was to ensure residents or responsible parties were informed related to purpose and side effects of the medication. The negative effects for not obtaining consent for anxiety medications would be that the resident/family may not be aware of side effects. Record review of facility policy dated 2001 titled Residents Rights reflected: Federal and state laws guarantee certain basic rights to all residents of this facility. These rights include the resident's

The ADM stated it was everyone's responsibility to ensure the call lights were within reach. The ADM stated if a resident's call light was not within reach, then the resident would not be able to express their needs nor have their needs met. The ADM stated her expectation was for staff members to ensure call lights were within reach prior to existing the resident's rooms.A record review of the facility's Resident Call System policy, October 2022, reflected Residents are provided with a means to call staff for assistance through a communication system that directly calls a staff member or a centralized workstation.Policy Interpretation and Implementation:1. Each resident is provided with a means to call staff directly for assistance from his/her bed, from toileting/bathing facilities and from the floor 4.

The facility failed to ensure the safety of Resident #57 on 12/9/25 when Resident #11 hit him on the arm. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 12/16/2025. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 4:45 PM. While the IJ was removed on 12/18/2025, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern and a severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy because all staff had not been trained on abuse/neglect. This failure placed residents at risk of abuse, trauma, and/or psychosocial harm. Findings included: Review of Resident #11's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the following diagnoses: Alzheimer's (mental deterioration), depression (persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest), bipolar (periods of depression and abnormally elevated mood), anxiety (feelings of worry, nervousness, or unease), and mood disorder (imbalance of brain chemicals that can lead to long periods of extreme happiness, extreme sadness, or both).

aggressive behaviors, and he would be sent back to the facility. The facility had been unable to get the county to do an emergency detention order, where he could be detained for 30 days, and potentially receive in-patient care. She stated that Resident #11 was very combative. In an interview on 12/16/2025 at 12:05 PM with the DON, she stated that the facility had tried to get Resident #11 help, but the county JOP nor the attorney would sign an Emergency Detention Order to get Resident #11 into inpatient psychiatric care, as they say the law prohibited them from doing that for a person with a Dementia diagnosis. She stated she had reached out to 5 other SNFs who all declined taking Resident #11. She stated the hospitals told her that Resident #11 must exhibit aggressive behavior at the hospital in order to initiate inpatient behavioral admission, which he does not do at the hospital. The DON stated she was in constant communication with Resident #11's RP , who was also Resident #11's POA , but she stated that the behavioral hospitals would not take POA paperwork for admission, they would need guardianship paperwork, to which she had discussed with the RP, and they were willing to get that paperwork. She said that her staff do not have the physical stature to manage his physical aggression. In an interview on 12/16/2025 at 12:57 PM with the psychiatric NP, she stated that she saw Resident #11 for telehealth visits and recently saw Resident #11 in person. She stated she had never seen him initiate aggression, but she observed him being intrusive, getting in people's faces, mumbling, and babbling toward people. She stated that for inpatient psychiatric services, people have to be able to cognitively process things in order to participate in group therapies, and Resident #11 did not have the capacity to do that. She stated she could give an order for the behavioral hospital, but she was pretty sure the facility had already reached out to them and was denied. She stated that the facility contacted her after each altercation to either provide a virtual or in-person visit to Resident #11. In an interview on 12/16/2025 at 2:16 PM with CNA A, she stated that recently when she was doing 1:1 with Resident #11, she saw him put his fist up, and she stepped between Resident #11 and another resident, she stated his fist landed on her chest. She saw him hitting/kicking/spitting at 3 CNAs and 1 RN just this morning. The RN was trying to administer the injection but that is when he was acting out. She stated she does not feel safe, nor does she feel residents are safe due to Resident 11's stature and his punch is hard and will knock someone backwards. In an interview on 12/16/2025 at 2:40 PM with LPN H, she stated that the bad thing about Resident #11 was that his incidents were almost always unprovoked. She stated that she would prefer not to answer if she felt residents were safe around Resident #11, because Resident #11 could be very aggressive and it was random with no signs. She stated it depended on the day and time as to what interventions worked for him. She stated it was really a guessing game to figure out what interventions would work because sometimes she could redirect him with conversation and food, but sometimes he was so worked up that those interventions would not work. She stated that the incidents were getting worse in frequency of him being aggressive. Review of the facility's abuse prevention policy dated 6/2/25 revealed, The facility will prohibit neglect, mental or physical abuse of residents. The safety and protection of other residents is the facility's primary concern. Review of the facility's Training on Resident-to-Resident Abuse Prevention and Response dated 10/22/25 revealed, 4. Prevention Strategies Screeningo Conduct thorough assessments of residents to identify those at risk of being victims or perpetrators of abuse.o Develop individualized care plans to address specific needs and risks The ADON, CCS, and RDO were notified on 12/16/2025 at 4:45 PM that an Immediate Jeopardy had been identified due to the above failures and an IJ template was provided. The following POR was accepted on 12/17/2025 at 11:30 AM: On 12/16/25 an abbreviated survey was initiated at Facility.

and separation measures remain in place. Any escalation in aggressive behaviors result in immediate re-assessment and modification of interventions. Leadership maintains active presence in oversight to ensure continued resident safety and adherence to interventions implemented to remove the jeopardy. Resident-to-resident aggression is monitored through the QAPI program with trend analysis. Findings are reviewed by the QAPI Committee 1x a month for 6 months and corrective actions are implemented as needed. Ongoing audits are conducted to ensure compliance with supervision, care planning, and staff response protocols. Responsible: Administrator The surveyor monitored the POR on 12/18/2025 as follows: Review of a psychiatric progress note dated 12/16/25 at 6:45 PM for Resident #11 revealed a new order for Haldol 2 mg BID. Resident #11's current medications were listed along with his diagnoses, and notes from the NP. Review of assessments completed on Resident #11 dated 12/16/2025 revealed the following assessments were completed: infection screening, pain evaluation, bowel evaluation, bladder evaluation which all revealed no acute findings. A note from the DON revealed she conducted a medication review for potential interactions, also with no findings. Review of an in-service dated 12/16/2025 conducted by the CCS and titled Managing Residents with aggressive behaviors reflected the signatures of the DON and ADON. Review of an in-service dated 12/16/2025 conducted by the DON and ADON titled Managing Residents with aggressive behaviors reflected 80+ staff were in-serviced either in person or over the phone and a quiz was given to every staff ensuring a 100% passing. The in-service covered abuse and neglect prevention, management of aggressive behavior, dementia-related aggressive behavior, resident-to-resident abuse, and de-escalation strategies. Review of an in-service dated 12/16/2025 conducted by the DON, and titled 2:1 Safety revealed, staff must consistently remain with Resident #11 under strict precautions to ensure the safety of Resident #11, staff, and peers. Staff are required to remain attentive, free from distractions, and within arm's reach of the Resident at all times. A minimum of two (2) staff members must be present with the Resident at all times.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure the resident assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for 3 of 6 residents (Resident #3, Resident #6, and Resident #84) who were reviewed for accuracy of assessments. 1. Resident #3's SCSA MDS did not indicate he was admitted to hospice in all the necessary sections. 2. Resident #6's most recent comprehensive MDS was coded as having a catheter, but Resident #6 did not have an order for a catheter, nor was he observed with one. 3. Resident #84's most recent comprehensive MDS was coded as resident having used insulin in the last 7 days, when medication review, orders, and interviews revealed that Resident #84 did not use insulin. This failure placed residents at risk of incorrect care and services necessary for their physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. Findings included: Review of Resident #6's comprehensive MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the following diagnoses: high blood pressure, arthritis (painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints), Non-Alzheimer's dementia (memory impairment and challenges in performing daily activities), anxiety (feelings of worry, nervousness, or unease), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (mental health condition that arises after experiencing or witnessing and extremely stressful or terrifying event).

Care Planning Decision' Resident #6 had a BIMS score of 01, indicating severely impaired cognition. Review of Resident #6's comprehensive care plan dated 11/19/2025 reflected no interventions for catheter usage, monitoring, or output documentation needed. Review of Resident #6's active doctor's orders as of 12/17/2025 reflected no orders for a catheter. Review of Resident #84's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the following diagnoses: anemia (deficiency of red blood cells), high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus (a disease in which the body's ability to produce or respond to insulin is impaired, resulting in abnormal metabolism and elevated glucose levels). In section N Medications, under the Insulin category, MDS S indicated Resident #84 had been administered insulin 7 days out of the last 7 days. Resident #84 had a BIMS score of 09, indicating moderately impaired cognition. Review of Resident #84's comprehensive care plan dated 12/03/2025 reflected no interventions for insulin usage.

She stated that Resident #6 was not admitted to the facility with a catheter, but that he was admitted on hospice and was very thin at the time. In an interview on 12/19/2025 at 12:05 PM with MDS S, she stated that she was responsible for conducting MDS assessments and that she had completed Resident #84's MDS assessment. She stated that at one time Resident #84 may have taken insulin, but the coding was an error, and she would correct it. She also stated that indicating Resident #6 had a catheter was an error, and she would need to correct it. She stated that inaccurate assessments could lead to inadequate care because assessments helped direct care staff know what care to provide. In an interview on 12/19/2025 at 12:26 PM with MDS
