F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, and interview , the facility failed to treat each resident with respect and dignity and provide care in a manner that promoted maintenance or enhancement of his or her quality of life for 1 of 18 residents reviewed for resident rights. (Resident #45) The facility failed to ensure Resident #45 was served lunch on 02/25/24 at the same time as others at his table. This failure could place residents at risk for decreased quality of life, decreased self-esteem and increase anxiety. Findings included: Record review of a face sheet dated 02/26/24 indicated Resident #45 was [AGE] years old and was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including Parkinson's disease (a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors), vitamin deficiency, and pain in left shoulder. Record review of the MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #45 was sometimes understood and sometimes understood others. The MDS indicated a BIMS score of 7 which indicated severe cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident #45 was dependent for most ADLs. Resident #45 required setup assistance for eating. Record review of a care plan revised on 01/31/24 indicated Resident #45 was at risk for nutritional problems. There was an intervention to bring the resident to the dining room for meals and to provide supervision/assistance as needed. During an observation on 02/25/24 at 12:02 p.m., Resident #45 was sitting at a table with 2 other residents. The other two residents were served their lunch tray at this time. During an observation and interview 02/25/24 at 12:15 p.m., Resident #45 had still not been served. The two other residents at the table were eating. Resident #45 said he was hungry and would like to eat. Resident #45 put his hat on and was looking down. Resident #45 said, I guess they want me to miss this meal. Staff were present. No staff acknowledged him. CNA B was noticeably irritated and asked the kitchen about his tray. During an observation on 2/25/24 at 12:20 p.m., CNA R told Resident #45 that she did not know he was eating in the dining area and his tray was sent to his room. CNA R left the dining room to Page 1 of 33 675755 675755 02/27/2024 Capstone Healthcare of Daingerfield 507 E W M Watson Blvd Daingerfield, TX 75638
F 0550 retrieve meal. The other residents at Resident #45's table were finished eating at this time. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 02/26/24 at 12:31 p.m., CNA R said she was in the dining room during the noon meal on 2/25/24. She said Resident #45 was in the dining room. She said he did not get his tray when the others at his table did because it had been sent down the hall on the cart. She said she was the staff member that went to get the tray off the cart. She said it could not have been too long because all the trays on the cart had not been passed. She said the resident did not seem upset. Residents Affected - Few During an interview 02/26/24 at 1:40 p.m., Resident #45 said at lunch on 2/25/24 the other residents at his table were served and he did not have a tray. He said by the time he got his tray the other residents at his table they had finished eating. He said he was upset about not having a tray. During an interview on 02/26/24 at 1:54 p.m., CNA B said Resident #45 ate lunch in his room at times. She said she had brought him to the dining room and failed to let kitchen staff know he was there. She said it was less than 20 minutes that Resident #45 went without his tray. She said she did get irritated. She said she was irritated because the other staff passing the trays in the dining room had not bothered to go get his tray from the cart on the hall. She said the irritation was not towards the resident. During an interview on 02/27/24 at 11:50 a.m., the DON said she would have expected staff to have gone to get Resident #45's tray from the hall or at least had kitchen staff make him a new tray. She said staff should have made sure the entire table was served before moving on to the next table. She said a resident not being served at the same time as others at the same table could make them feel left out. If you are hungry, you are hungry. During an interview on 02/27/24 at 11:42 a.m., the Administrator said he would expect staff to know where the resident was going to be during dining services, so that trays could be passed in a timely fashion. He said he would have expected staff to have fixed the issue with Resident #45's tray. He said a resident not being served while others at the table were served meals could make them feel there was a break in communication. Review of an undated Resident Rights facility policy indicated, .Employees shall treat all resident with kindness, respect, and dignity .Federal and state laws guarantee certain basic right to all resident in this facility. These rights include the resident's right to .a dignified existence .be treated with respect, kindness, and dignity . 675755 Page 2 of 33 675755 02/27/2024 Capstone Healthcare of Daingerfield 507 E W M Watson Blvd Daingerfield, TX 75638
F 0582 Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the notice to residents when changes in coverage are made to items and services covered by Medicare as soon as is reasonably possible provided to 2 of 3 residents (Resident #3 and Resident #42) reviewed for skilled Medicare services in that: Residents Affected - Few Resident #3 and Resident #42 was not given a Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice (SNFABN) when discharged from skilled services prior to covered days being exhausted. This failure could place residents at risk of not being aware of changes to provided services not covered by Medicare and their financial responsibilities. The findings were: 1. Record review of Resident #3's face sheet, dated 09/19/2023, revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Anxiety (Intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Fast heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating, and feeling tired may occur), Anemia (a problem of not having enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry oxygen to the body's tissues), and Dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities).

Record review of Resident #42's MDS dated [DATE], indicated that Resident #42 was sometimes understood and sometimes understands. Resident #42 had a BIMS of 03 which indicated severely impaired cognition. Resident #42 required extensive assistance with ADLs. During an interview on 2/26/2024 at 4:50 p.m., the Administrator said the ABN letter was not given to Residents #3 and # 42 as he did not have a system in place to ensure that residents were notified. He said MDS Coordinator typically is responsible for this task. He said he did not know he was supposed to send this notification to residents that stay in the facility. He said Resident #3 admitted on [DATE] and remained in the facility on 11/29/2023 as she went to Medicaid status on 11/29/2023 which means she had 28 days of service remaining. He said Resident #42 went to private pay hospice and she had 78 days remaining. He said that the ABN notice was not given to either resident as he did not know that he was required to do so, and he had not delegated this responsibility to his staff. During an interview on 02/27/2024 at 8:50 a.m., the DON she said MDS Coordinator A was responsible for completing the ABN notices for residents. She said she had nothing to do with ABN until yesterday when it was brought to their attention that they were not being completed. She said it was the Administrator that brought the ABN letters to her attention. 675755 Page 3 of 33 675755 02/27/2024 Capstone Healthcare of Daingerfield 507 E W M Watson Blvd Daingerfield, TX 75638
F 0582 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 02/27/2024 at 8:55 a.m., MDS Coordinator A said she had been the MDS Nurse at this facility since July of 2023.

She said the Administrator assigned responsibility to her yesterday to complete ABN. She said she had been completing the NOMNC notifications. She said ABN letters were never issued prior to yesterday, 02/26/24. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 02/27/24 at 9:07 a.m., the Administrator said that there was no policy regarding ABN letters. He said that a policy would need to be created to ensure that this mistake does not happen in the future. Record review of CMS guidelines Beneficiary Notice Guidelines, approved by CMS-10124-DENC December 31, 2011, revealed Scenario Part A stay will end because: SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility) determines the beneficiary no longer requires daily skilled services. Resident has days remaining in the benefit period. Resident will remain in the facility (custodial care) Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice (SNF ABN) CMS-10055 (2018) and Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) CMS-10123 (12/31/11)) to be completed. 675755 Page 4 of 33 675755 02/27/2024 Capstone Healthcare of Daingerfield 507 E W M Watson Blvd Daingerfield, TX 75638

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 care plan to meet the medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs for 2 of 20 residents reviewed for care plans (Resident #37, Resident #66). 1. The facility failed to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for Resident #37's wound care orders. 2.The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for Resident #66's right upper elbow contracture. These failures could place residents in the facility at an increased risk of a decline in physical or functional well-being, of not receiving necessary care or services, and having personalized plans developed to address their needs. Findings included: 1.

Resident #66 had impairment to both sides of upper and lower extremities. Resident #66 was dependent on assistance with all ADLs. Resident #66 had a diagnosis of contracture to right elbow. Record review of Resident #66's undated care plan indicated Resident #66 had the potential for skin breakdown/pressure injury related to dependance on others for mobility and ADLs. Resident #66 had a potential for decline in function related to anoxic brain injury, personal history of traumatic brain injury. There was no problem area or interventions on Resident #66's comprehensive care plan related to the care of his contracture to right elbow. Record review of Resident #66's orders revealed there were no orders related to the care of his right elbow contracture. During an observation on 2/25/24 at 10:31 AM, Resident #66 was sitting up in a reclined wheelchair and was noted to have a contracture to right elbow with a stuffed animal placed within the contracted area . During an interview on 2/27/24 at 9:51 AM, RN A said she was the MDS Coordinator. RN A said she had worked at the facility for 2.5 years, but RN A said she had only been the MDS Coordinator for about 6 months. RN A said she used the resident's Care Area Assessment summary, diagnoses, admission nurse assessment, and their MDS software triggers certain things for her to put on the comprehensive care plan. RN A said she felt a resident having contractures should be on the comprehensive care plan, but she did not think there was triggers to prompt her to put it in the care plan. RN A said not having the contracture care planned could potentially result in not having the care needed or provided and staff that did not know him would not have a guide for his care. RN A said the comprehensive care plan's purpose was to guide the care of the resident and to indicate what care was needed to meet the resident's needs. RN A said the resident could have skin breakdown and pain related to contractures and should have interventions in place to care for a resident with contractures. During an interview on 2/27/24 at 10:25 AM, LVN E said she had worked at the facility since 2012, and she became a LVN in 2021. LVN E said she normally worked PRN. LVN E said she was not sure who was responsible for developing the comprehensive care plan. LVN E said the care plan was a guide to the resident's care needs and they followed the care plan until the care area was resolved. LVN E said contractures or behaviors were care areas that should be included in the care plan, to show what care was needed for the resident to meet the resident's care needs. During an interview on 2/27/24 at 10:39 AM, the DON said the MDS coordinator was responsible for developing the comprehensive care plans. The DON said the purpose of the care was to ensure the care 675755 Page 8 of 33 675755 02/27/2024 Capstone Healthcare of Daingerfield 507 E W M Watson Blvd Daingerfield, TX 75638
F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few needs of the resident were being met. The DON said contractures should be included on the care plan with interventions for monitoring the contracture, skin assessments, monitoring splints if indicated, and therapy services if indicated. The DON said the resident could have deterioration or worsening of the contracture if the contracture was not care planned. During an interview on 2/27/24 at 10:51 AM, the ADM said the care plan was a tool to best take care of the resident, so everyone was on the same page of the resident's needed care. The ADM said the Interdisciplinary team worked together to develop the comprehensive care plans. The ADM said he would expect a resident with contractures to have a care plan for contractures, unless there was something told prior that resident did not want contracture management, but typically there should be something in place in the comprehensive care plan. The ADM said he was not a nurse, but he would guess the contracture could get worse if it was not included in the comprehensive care plan. Record review of the facility's undated policy titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, revealed . a comprehensive, person-centered care plan that included measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs were developed and implemented for each resident . each resident's comprehensive person-centered care plan would be consistent with the resident's rights to participate in the development and implementation of the plan of care, including the right to . comprehensive, person-centered care plan would . describe the services that were to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being . describe service that would otherwise be provided for the above, but were not provided due to the resident exercising his or her rights, including the right to refuse treatment . receive the services and/or items included in the plan of care . describe the services that were to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being . aid in preventing or reducing decline in the resident's functional status and/or functional levels . care plan interventions were chosen only after careful data gathering, proper sequencing of events, careful consideration of the relationship between the resident's problem areas and their causes, and relevant clinical decision making . 675755 Page 9 of 33 675755 02/27/2024 Capstone Healthcare of Daingerfield 507 E W M Watson Blvd Daingerfield, TX 75638

During an interview and /observation on 02/25/2024 at 3:00 p.m., RN U revealed Resident #37's coccyx wound had declined over the past 2-4 weeks. RN U stated the nurse assigned to the 200 hall was responsible for all treatments assigned to 200 hall residents. She stated there was not a designated treatment nurse for the facility. RN U performed wound care for Resident #37 following MD orders and failed to follow aseptic technique. RN U failed to wash her hands prior to beginning the treatment and between cleaning the wound and applying the clean dressing. RN U stated there was a wound care doctor that visited the facility on Mondays. RN U stated she spoke with him a few weeks ago and he was concerned he had not ordered medical honey for Resident #37's wound because she had moist skin from incontinence and overall skin condition, but he continued to find medical honey in her wound each Monday. RN U stated Resident #37 was not on a low air loss mattress at the time, because it kept going flat which may have contributed to the worsening of her wound. RN U stated Resident #37's ulcer started on her left sacral area and grew to include her coccyx. RN U stated proper treatment, offloading with a low air loss mattress, and proper nutrition were important to heal a wound. RN U stated not having all of those items could halt healing and lead to infection and death. During a phone interview on 02/26/2024 at 4:00 p.m., the wound care NP stated Resident #37 had the potential to have healed wounds if the facility would keep Resident #37 off loaded, dry, and do the treatments that had been ordered by him. He stated he did rounds every Monday morning and often Resident #37's skin was macerated from being overly moist from incontinence. He stated he had found medical honey in the wound of Resident #37 for the last 3- 4 weeks each week and he had talked to staff (RN U) about his concerns. The wound care specialist stated he never ordered medical honey for Resident #37 because it added moisture to wounds. He explained Resident #37's skin was already moist because she was incontinent at all times, and she had clammy skin. He stated he requested Resident #37 get a new LAL mattress over a week prior when he was told by RN U, Resident #37's LAL mattress was going flat, and she was still on a standard mattress. The wound care NP stated her measurements on 02/25/2024 had improved very little since the previous week because she had been left wet over the weekend when he came in on Monday to measure her wounds. He stated the new measurements were 6.1 cm x 4.5 cm x 0.3 cm, as of 02/25/2024. During an observation on 02/27/2024 at 4:30 a.m., Resident #37 was in bed asleep. Resident #37 was clean and dry with no odor, laying on her right side on an unplugged deflated LAL mattress. The cord for the LAL mattress was wrapped with a zip tie in plastic around it lying on the floor at the foot of the bed. The LAL mattress was completely flat, and the metal frame of the bed was felt under Resident #37's right hip. 675755 Page 17 of 33 675755 02/27/2024 Capstone Healthcare of Daingerfield 507 E W M Watson Blvd Daingerfield, TX 75638
F 0686 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Some During an interview on 02/27/2024 at 7:00 a.m., LVN E came into Resident #37's room and stated she was unaware the LAL mattress for Resident #37 was unplugged. LVN E stated she felt it must have come unplugged when the night shift preformed incontinent care last, but there was no way to know for sure. LVN E stated Resident #37 laying directly on the frame could have worsen her wound and would not promote wound healing. LVN E plugged the bed in at this time. During an interview on 02/27/2024 at 11:20 a.m., the DON stated she was made aware the LAL mattress for Resident #37 was unplugged this morning on rounds. The DON stated she plugged the LAL mattress into the wall the prior night around 6 p.m., prior to leaving the facility for the day. The DON stated the facility did not have a weekly wound care report and no one was designated to do weekly measurements of pressure ulcers. The DON stated the facility used the measurements from the wound care specialist (NP) that visited each week. The DON stated she did not agree with the wound care NP's progress notes because she felt that his communication was poor and she was certain he had not talked to her staff about the treatment or Resident #37's care. The DON stated it was her responsibility to read the progress notes the wound care specialist emailed to her each Tuesday after his Monday visit. The DON admitted that she did not always read his progress notes. And was not sure why she had not been reading them other than she had been busy. The DON stated she was unaware the treatment of medical honey from 01/10/2024 to 02/20/2024 was not what the wound care specialist (NP) wanted to use. The DON stated RN U had not communicated the wound care specialist's concerns to her. The DON stated it was her expectation that the floor nurses follow the orders of the wound care specialist and report to her any concerns the wound care specialist had during rounds. The DON stated not following the Medical Director's orders, not having the resident on LAL mattress, and not keeping the resident off loaded could lead to worsening of the wound, development of new wounds, infection, and even death. During an interview on 02/27/2024 at 11:45 a.m., the Administrator stated he wanted the DON to monitor all of the systems she was responsible for and report any concerns she had to him. The Administrator stated he wanted the nurses to do skin assessments, wound care as ordered, and make sure the resident's had all they needed to maintain a healthy life. Review of a policy titled Wound Care Protocol, purpose: 1. To ensure optimal healing of wounds. 2. To identify type of wound in order to provide proper wound care. Expectations: 1. Wounds are to be measured each week and should be measured by the same Registered Nurse / NP clinician for consistency. Measure the wound weekly and provide oversite and direction for the LPN/LVN. Re-evaluate wounds with changes in condition and report to the physician wound status. Revise plan of care with treating physician. 675755 Page 18 of 33 675755 02/27/2024 Capstone Healthcare of Daingerfield 507 E W M Watson Blvd Daingerfield, TX 75638
