Resident #33 had a history of verbal aggression (yelling out/screaming) 1 to 3 times a week. This section also reflected Resident #33's care plan interventions and medications appeared to be helping although he was difficult to redirect at times and a behavior support plan was not needed at that time.Record review of Resident #33's care plan dated 03/14/20 reflected he had behavior problems such as spending excessive amount of time in the restroom, smearing feces on the toilet, and throwing excessive amounts of toilet paper on the floor and in the toilet as well as verbal aggression. Interventions for these included intervene as necessary to protect the rights and safety of others, approach/ speak in a calm manner, divert attention, praise any indication of progress/ improvement in behavior, analyze key times, places, triggers, and what de-escalates, and provide positive feedback for good behavior/ emphasize the positive aspects of compliance. Record review of Resident #33's progress notes reflected a progress note dated 04/11/25 by the SW that stated, resident continues to overflood toilet with paper. Guardian was notified and explained that residents DVD player would be taken up until Monday 4/14/25. Guardian agreed. If resident can keep room clean and not cause toilet to overflow DVD would be given back. Resident stated he understood and that he would keep room clean. [sic] There were no progress notes between 04/11/25 and 07/02/25 which indicated Resident #33's DVD player was returned to him.In an interview on 07/02/25 at 2:26 pm Resident #33 stated, They (the SW) took my DVD player away a couple of months ago because I kind of misbehaved. Resident #33 stated he had not gotten it back yet and it made him feel bad because he watched his movies a lot. When asked who bought the DVD player, he stated [name], MRC bought it for him at [store] out of his money that is kept up front for him. When asked if there were any other things that were taken away Resident #33 replied, My radio. When asked when it was taken away, Resident #33 stated, A little time after they took my player. Resident #33 stated the radio was taken because he had it kind of loud. When asked if he was told when he could have it back, Resident #33 replied, When I behave- and I did not have it that loud. Resident #33 stated it made him feel bad and upset that the facility took his radio away and he has not gotten it back yet. In an interview on 07/02/25 at 2:42 pm RN B stated abuse was anything unwanted or neglectful, that could harm any resident and included verbal, physical, and financial abuse. RN B stated harm could be emotional, medical, or physical. RN B stated taking someone's property because they were not behaving was abuse. In an interview on 07/02/25 at 3:14 pm, the ADON named the types of abuse and stated emotional abuse/mental abuse was when a resident felt sad because a staff member made them feel that way due to how they were treated. When asked if there was a resident who had something in their room they really liked and had purchased with their own money and a staff member took it out of their room and put it away somewhere and told the resident they could only have it back if they behaved, would that be abuse, she stated, Yes, that would be abuse- emotional or mental. It could cause psychosocial harm. The ADON stated she did not suspect abuse in the facility but if she suspected abuse, she would report it right away to the Adm. The ADON stated none of the residents complained about any of the staff. In an interview on 07/02/25 at 3:32 pm, the DON named the types of abuse and what to do if abuse was seen or heard. When asked if there was a resident who had something in their room they really liked and had purchased with their own money and a staff member took it out of their room and put it away somewhere and told the resident they could only have it back if they behaved, would that be abuse, the DON stated, I would not consider that abuse. It could cause them distress, but I am not saying that would be abuse.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some abuse. The DON stated she was not aware of anyone having something taken away because they misbehaved but if she knew about something like that she would, definitely have to look into it to see what the situation was. In an interview on 07/02/25 at 3:54 pm the SW named the types of abuse and the abuse coordinator. The SW stated abuse was bad because it removed the dignity of the resident and took away their rights which could cause emotional harm or distress to the resident and/or lead to some bad behaviors. The SW stated if abuse was seen or heard she would report it to the administrator, follow up, and refer the resident to psychiatric services. She stated it was abuse if someone took away something a resident liked and told them they could have it back if they behaved. The SW stated it removed the resident's dignity because they were being treated like a child. When asked if she was aware of any situation like that in the facility, the SW stated, There is one resident, but I know he is IDD and to have him keep his room clean and not spread feces around, the Guardian said to take away his sodas. The SW stated she believed he had a radio and a DVD player that were taken away from him, also but did not recall how long ago those were taken away. The SW stated the person appointed as his Guardian had been his Guardian since before 2023 and she gave the facility feedback on how to redirect and encourage Resident #33. When asked how long ago Resident #33's DVD player and radio were taken away, the SW stated, I wouldn't say it has been months that he had his DVD player and radio taken away. I think he has the radio back. The DVD player was taken by myself and the radio- I'm not sure about the radio. When asked why they were taken away, she stated it was to redirect him from walking into offices and stealing stuff or spreading feces in the bathroom. The SW stated it did not make him feel sad. She stated she felt like it had been effective to take away his things. The SW further stated, I have not asked him how it made him feel. The SW stated she would not feel it was appropriate to take Resident #33's things away if the Guardian had not told her to take them. She also stated it should have been care planned that the Guardian said to take his things. When asked where the DVD player and radio were at this time, the SW stated the DVD player was in her office, but she was not sure where the radio was. The SW stated she consulted with the Administrator before taking things away from Resident #33. When asked who purchased the DVD player and the radio, the SW stated, I believe that he paid for the DVD player, but I'm not sure about the radio. He gets his money from the business office and goes to Wal Mart with the AD and MRC (Medical Records Clerk) to buy things. The SW stated, After reading the policy and especially if it makes him sad, I do feel like it is abuse.In an interview on 07/02/25 at 4:26 pm the Adm stated it would be abuse and dignity if someone took something away from a resident due to behaviors because the residents were adults, not children. The Adm stated Resident #33's radio and DVD player were not taken away by staff members. The Adm stated Resident #33's DVD player was taken at the direction of his Guardian as more of an unofficial behavior contract. The Adm stated, We called her and asked her what we could do to help improve his behaviors. She called him and told him, today we are going to work on not flooding the bathroom. She told him if he did not flood the bathroom then they could go to the store and buy some DVDs, but if he kept flooding the bathroom and throwing things, they would have to take away his DVD player. The Adm stated Resident #33 told his Guardian he would not flood the bathroom. The Adm further stated, It was not something we would initiate, it was something [his Guardian] did. Because his behaviors were getting more violent, we were trying to deescalate those behaviors. It was more of not a deprivation, but it was so that he would understand that things can't be thrown. I remember he did have it back; they went on a shopping trip, and he bought a scary DVD. The Adm stated if someone took away Resident #33's things for behaviors it would not be right and when she looked at the SW's documentation of the incident, it looked like abuse. The Adm stated, Had I not been privy to the (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675815 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 10 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 675815 B.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some conversation, I would feel like it would be abuse. I do not feel like that conversation and the way it was done was abusive, but I do feel like the way it is written, it looks bad. The Adm stated she was pretty sure Resident #33 had his DVD player back and, if the SW has the DVD player, that is news to me. I would be interested to know why the SW still has it. The Adm stated the intent was not to deprive Resident #33 of something or to abuse him, but to get him to stop throwing things and his Guardian phrased it that it was a behavior contract. The Adm stated she did not know if the radio being taken was a present issue or a past issue because as far as she knew, he did not have a radio now; however, his family member, who used to be in the same room as him, would often yell at him, tell him his radio was too loud, and take it away from him. When told Resident #33 stated he was sad about not having his DVD player, the Adm stated, I feel horrible because I do not want anyone to feel that way. In a telephone interview on 07/02/25 at 4:56 pm, Resident #33's Guardian stated taking away the DVD player first came up when the Adm contacted her about Resident #33's issues with behaviors like throwing trash all over, spreading feces all over and not wanting to shower. She stated those behaviors got better and then worse after his family member passed away a year ago. The Guardian stated the ILS people were going to the facility to see him, but they stopped because his room was not sanitary. She stated Resident #33 had never been taught appropriate skills such as cleaning up after himself and not breaking things and the staff had been trying positive reinforcement to help him. The Guardian stated the Adm called her and asked, If we (the Adm and the Guardian) explained it to him, could we (the facility) try taking his DVD player away to work on those skills and to keep his room in at least decent condition? I checked and we can do this. The Guardian stated she was not really in favor of it, but she agreed because Resident #33 was involved in the call, and he was willing to work on it. The Guardian was not able to see Resident #33 in April and May 2025 (someone else from her office saw him those months) but when she went to see him in June 2025 and on 07/01/25, he did not have his DVD player. She stated she talked to him about it on 07/01/25 and went to talk to the Adm and SW to tell them that they needed to try something different, but they were not in the facility at that time. The Guardian stated the behaviors they were trying to remedy had continued to the point where the Adm told her she was looking at alternative placement for him. The Guardian stated she now felt it (taking away his DVD player) had become punitive and it was not having a behavioral modification effect. She stated when she went to the facility in June there was a tracking chart on the wall with the days of the week, and staff would mark down if his room and/ or bathroom were clean and she thought to herself, well, that's kind of good, but when she was there on 07/01/25, the chart was not there. The Guardian stated, We really do not like being punitive with our clients. When I went to his room in June, his room smelled really bad because of the feces in the bathroom so I talked with him about why it was important to keep our areas clean. She stated the goal initially was to get Resident #33 into a group home, but she did not think that would be possible because he needed more supervision and assistance than a group home could provide. The Guardian stated she told the facility they needed to consult with a psychiatric provider before trying to find alternate placement for him because they might need to make some medication changes and the facility was supposed to be sending her his psychiatric notes. The Guardian stated MHMR was having trouble with Resident #33 in the day program also, and he would usually only be at the adult day care facility for an hour or two due to his behaviors. She stated for positive reinforcement, they would let him get a fast food meal on the way back to the nursing facility and it seemed to be improving his behavior as he would shower, put on clean clothes, and straighten up his room before he went to the adult daycare location. The Guardian stated she felt like taking things away was not going to have the desired effect with (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675815 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 10 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 675815 B.

On 07/02/25 at 5:40 pm while the surveyor was on the phone with Resident #33's Guardian, the Adm and DON stated Resident #33 now told them the DVD player got wet and he took it to the SW to get it fixed and they (staff) forgot about it. This was stated to the two other state surveyors who were in the hallway at that time.In a telephone interview on 07/03/25 at 8:10 am, Resident #33's Guardian stated the Adm called her the previous evening to talk about the abuse case and told her Resident #33 got his DVD player back on Monday (04/14/25), and that he had it the whole time since then. Resident #33's Guardian stated the Adm then told her that Resident #33 took the DVD player to the SW one day before he went to the adult day care, told her it was broken, and they (the facility) were going to get maintenance to fix it. The Adm also told Resident #33's Guardian she (the Adm) was not aware the SW had the DVD player back and the SW did not know how long she had the DVD player. Resident #33's Guardian stated the Adm told her she gave the DVD player back to Resident #33 the previous day (07/02/25) and it was working. In an interview on 07/03/25 at 9:26 am Resident #33 stated the SW gave his DVD player back and the MRC gave his radio back yesterday (07/02/25).

The facility failed to ensure the juice gun nozzle was clean. The facility failed to ensure the juice gun nozzles were stored properly. The facility failed to ensure food was stored properly in refrigerator number 2. These failures could place residents who received meals and/or snacks from the kitchen risk for food contamination and food borne illness. Initial tour and observation of the kitchen on 07/01/25 at 8:20 am revealed the following:*The left juice gun nozzle had a thick brownish yellow substance stuck inside and all over the outside of the nozzle as well as a thick white substance in spots on the outside of the nozzle.*Both juice gun nozzles were left hanging down off the shelf and dangling approximately 12 inches above the floor.*A thick red and a thick brown substance streaked and puddled on the front right table leg of the table the juice machine was on.*A one-gallon size zipper bag which contained a sliced meat product in a cloudy, light pinkish liquid with white particles floating in it was dated 6-23-25, partially unsealed and sitting on a wire shelf above a tray that contained 30 uncovered 8-ounce cups of a dark colored liquid substance in reach-in refrigerator number 2. In an interview on 07/01/25 at 9:18am the DM stated the juice nozzle was not acceptable and the white substance stuck to the outside of the juice nozzle might have been paper. He stated the juice nozzles were cleaned by night shift every evening, but it did not get cleaned the night before because it was a new month and he had not put out the cleaning schedule yet. In an interview with the RD, DM, and DA on 07/03/25 at 1:28 pm the DA stated the night shift DA was supposed to clean the juice nozzles and the day shift DA was supposed to check it to make sure it was cleaned before it was used because it could grow bacteria and cause the residents to get sick. The DA stated the juice nozzles were not supposed to be left hanging down because they could become contaminated and cause residents to get sick. The DA stated the food items in the refrigerators were to be labeled, dated, and covered by the DAs every day, every shift to avoid spoiling and contamination and the DM would check daily to ensure it was done. The DA stated left over food was good for one day and if it was left too long it could go bad and cause stomach problems for the residents. The DM stated he checked the refrigerators and freezers daily to ensure that food items were stored, labeled, and dated correctly. The DM also stated the meat in refrigerator number 2 was pre-cooked lunchmeat (ham) that was placed in a zipper bag because it originally came in a large box of lunchmeat that was kept frozen, and he only took out a portion at a time to thaw and use so that it would not go bad. The DM stated pre-cooked lunch meat not stored in the original package was good for 7 days as long as it was kept sealed and refrigerated.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. 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 maintain an infection prevention and control program, including hand hygiene, designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment, and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for one (Resident #61) of 4 residents reviewed for infection control practices, in that: The facility failed to ensure the WCN wore proper PPE during wound care for Resident #239 who required enhanced barrier precautions. The facility failed to ensure Resident #239's surgical incision did not come in contact with a potentially contaminated surface during wound care. These failures could place residents that require wound care at risk for healthcare associated cross-contamination and infections. The findings included:Record review of Resident #239's face sheet dated 07/02/25 reflected a [AGE] year-old-female with an original admission date of 06/20/25. Diagnoses included spinal stenosis, lumbar region (narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back), atherosclerotic heart disease (hardening and narrowing of the arteries caused by cholesterol plaques lining the artery over time), and high blood pressure. During an observation of wound care on 07/02/25 at 09:31 AM, the WCN was observed wearing gloves, but no gown as indicated to do so in the facility's EBP policy for residents with unhealed surgical wounds. The WCN was observed removing Resident #239's previous dry dressing to begin wound care. After the dry dressing was removed, the WCN proceeded to grab supplies to cleanse the surgical incision, allowing Resident #239's pant to come in contact with the wound. Once cleansed, the WCN stopped to grab gauze to pat dry the area, allowing Resident #239's pant to come in contact with the surgical incision again. The WCN then pat dried the area, then stopped to grab the dry dressing, allowing Resident #239's pants to come in contact with the surgical incision again. Record review of Resident 239's orders dated 06/22/25 reflected: Cleanse surgical incision to the back with normal saline, pat dry and apply dry dressing. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection every day until resolved. In an interview on 07/02/25 at 09:47 AM the WCN stated she was very nervous as she had not been the WCN for very long. The WCN stated Resident #239 was not on enhanced barrier precautions because the wound was considered closed and did not think Resident #239 had to be on EBP. The WCN stated Resident #239's wound should not have come in contact with her pant, a potentially contaminated surface, to prevent the spread of infection. The WCN stated she had just gotten checked off on her wound care skills but could not remember when. In an interview on 07/02/25 at 01:16 PM the DON stated EBP is ordered for residents who meet the criteria such as residents with G-Tubes, open wounds, wounds that are draining, central lines, a tracheostomy, foley catheters, or central lines. The DON stated Resident #239's surgical incision was considered closed and not draining. The DON stated Resident # 239's surgical incision in her opinion, was closed with stitches, was not open or draining and therefore did not require EBP. The DON stated Resident #239's surgical incision should not have come in contact with her pants. The DON stated Resident #239's surgical incision could have been at risk for contamination and infection if a contaminated surface came in contact with the surgical incision. The DON stated the WCN had a skills check off on 07/01/25 and was fairly new to the wound care nurse position. In an interview on 07/02/25 at 03:04 PM the ADON stated residents are placed on EBP depending on the situation of the resident. The ADON stated the Resident #239's surgical incision did have stitches, but the wound was not open and not draining. The ADON stated based off the facility's EBP policy, unhealed surgical wounds should have required EBP to prevent infection. Record review of the facility's Enhanced Barrier Precautions policy dated 04/05/24 reflected: Policy: It is the policy of this facility to implement enhanced barrier precautions for the prevention of transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms/ 2.
