F 0583 Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview the facility failed to ensure the resident's right to privacy for 1 (Resident #11) of 6 residents reviewed for dignity in that:The WCN did not provide privacy for Resident #11 while performing his wound care. This failure could cause residents to feel uncomfortable, disrespected, and possibly a loss of dignity due to a lack of privacy. Findings included: Record review of Resident #11's face sheet dated 09/08/25 reflected a [AGE] year-old-male with an original admission date of 08/31/24. Diagnoses included heart disease, type two diabetes (insufficient insulin production in the body), chronic kidney disease, and COPD (lung condition caused by damage to the airways that limit airflow). During an observation on 09/07/2025 at 4:19 PM, the WCN did not provide privacy by leaving Resident #11's room door open while performing his wound care. Other residents, staff, and visitors passing by Resident #11's room were able to see his wound care being performed. In an interview on 09/07/2025 at 4:34 PM, the WCN stated it was important to provide privacy during Resident #11's wound care to maintain his dignity and respect. The WCN stated by not providing privacy, Resident #11 could feel shameful, sad, depressed or less than, by making him feel like he was not important. The WCN stated she did not realize she did not close Resident #11's door. In an interview on 09/08/2025 at 12:15 PM, the DON stated the WCN should have provided privacy to Resident #11 during his wound care to ensure his dignity and respect. The DON stated wound care should be confidential and by not providing privacy, it could make Resident #11 feel violated. Record review of facility's Statement of Resident Rights dated February 2017 and date revised in 2025 reflected: Compliance Guidelines: The facility should educate, encourage, and honor the rights of those we serve. Further, the facility should assist a resident/patient to fully exercise their rights applicable. Residents/Patients do not give up their rights when entering a [NAME] Community.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to ensure residents received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections to the extent possible for one (Resident #49) of three residents reviewed for urinary catheters. The facility failed to ensure LVN C changed Resident #49's urinary catheter drainage bag on 09/01/25 per the physician's order. This failure places residents with urinary catheters at risk for urinary tract infections. Record review of Resident #49's admission record reflected a [AGE] year-old male originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with most recent admission on [DATE]. His pertinent diagnoses included malignant neoplasm (cancerous tumor) of the prostate, obstructive and reflux uropathy (urine flow is blocked and causes urine to back up into the kidneys causing kidney damage), urostomy with suprapubic urinary catheter (an opening in the abdomen that connects to the urinary tract to allow urine to drain into a catheter and urinary collection bag), and difficulty walking. Record review of Resident #49's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 15 which indicated he had no cognitive impairment. Record review of Resident #49's care plan dated 01/31/25 reflected the focus, I require a catheter for obstructive and reflux uropathy, other artificial openings of the urinary tract, malignant neoplasm of the prostate, placing me at risk for infection, created on 01/31/25. Interventions listed for the focus included: Catheter Care every shift and as indicated initiated 05/20/25. Change catheter per my physician's order initiated 05/20/25. Monitor for s/sx infection initiated on 05/20/25. Record review of Resident #49's order summary report reflected the following orders: Suprapubic catheter dx: prostate cancer, obstructive and reflex uropathy dated 05/20/25. Suprapubic catheter: change monthly on the 15th day of the month 10-6 shift, every night shift dated 05/25/25. Suprapubic catheter: change collection bag Q2WKS and PRN, every night shift every 2 weeks on Monday dated 05/25/25. Suprapubic catheter: change collection bag Q2WKS and PRN, as needed dated 05/25/25. During an observation on 09/07/2025 at 3:35 PM, Resident #49's urinary catheter bag had the date 08/16/25 written in black marker on the upper left side of the front of the bag. During an interview on 09/07/25 at 3:37 PM, Resident #49 stated he had the suprapubic catheter placed 25 years ago when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Resident #49 stated the night nurse changed the catheter and the collection tubing/bag at the same time in August and the collection tubing/bag was not changed in the previous week. Resident #49 denied any signs or symptoms of a urinary tract infection. During an observation on 09/08/25 at 8:32 AM and 4:15 PM, Resident #49's urinary collection bag was dated 08/16/25. During an interview on 09/08/25 at 5:10 PM, LVN G stated, all resident care was to be documented immediately after it was done because if it was not documented right away, you could forget to document it, or another nurse could perform the same care again. LVN G stated it was important to do the care that was charted because it was fraud and false documentation if the care was not done. LVN G stated she was not aware that night shift did not change the urinary catheter collection tubing and bag on 09/01/25. LVN G further stated it was important to change the urinary catheter, tubing, and collection bag when ordered by the physician, so the resident did not develop a UTI or sepsis. During a telephone interview on 09/09/25 at 10:33 AM, LVN C stated the urinary catheter collection bag change was not due until 09/15. When asked why she documented she changed the urinary collection bag on 09/01/25, LVN C stated because she changed it that day. When asked if she dated the urinary catheter bag when she changed it, she stated she did. When LVN C was told the date on the urinary catheter bag was 08/16/25, she stated she must have intended to change it but got busy and did not get it done and forgot to strike it out on the MAR. LVN C stated she (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675850 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 14 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 675850 B.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete documented she changed the collection tubing/bag on 08/18/25 because it showed it was due on the MAR and she knew that it had been changed on 08/16/25. During a telephone interview on 09/09/25 at 12:54 PM, LVN D stated she changed Resident #49's suprapubic catheter and the collection tubing/bag on 08/16/25 and changed the collection tubing/bag on 09/09/25. LVN D stated she documented the 08/16/25 suprapubic catheter change on the MAR for 08/15/25 because she changed it after midnight but forgot to document the collection tubing/bag change because it was not showing due yet and she did not think to document it in the as needed area. She stated she documented the collection tubing/bag change on 09/09/25 in the as needed section in the MAR. LVN D stated it was very important to document care immediately after it was done because, If it was not documented, it was not done. LVN D further stated, If care was documented but not done for whatever reason, there was an option in PCC to strike out and explain. She stated if urinary catheter care was documented but was not provided, it could lead to infection and hospitalization. During an interview on 09/09/25 at 1:22 PM, the DON stated nurses should follow the physician orders for when to change residents' urinary catheters and collection tubing/bags and if there was an issue with timing, they needed to contact the physician to modify the orders or tell the DON. The DON stated, It was important to document care provided right after it was done. If care was documented as done but it was not, it would not trigger for the care to be provided and it would stay dirty longer. If the catheter and/or bag were not changed when it was ordered, it could cause infection which could lead to hospitalization. He stated when he first started here approximately 8 months ago, he had a meeting with staff concerning what his expectations were for documentation. The DON stated in-services on urinary catheter care were done at least annually. A copy of the facility's policy/procedure for urinary catheters and or urinary catheter care was requested on 09/08/25 and 09/09/25, however the facility stated they did not have one. Record review of the facility's Professional Standard of Care Policy dated 02/2017 and updated 01/2024 reflected in part: Compliance Guidelines: The community provides services that meet professional standards of quality and are provided by appropriately qualified persons (e.g., licensed, certified).

F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. 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 residents were free from significant medication errors for two (Resident #16 and Resident #34) of six residents reviewed for medication errors in that: 1)Resident #16's blood pressure was not taken to assess if Resident #16 required her blood pressure/pulse altering medications (Midodrine HCl Oral Tablet) for 29 days in the month of August 2025 and 0 days in September 2025 per physician orders. 2) Resident #34's blood pressure was not taken to assess if Resident #34 required her blood pressure/pulse altering medications (Lisinopril 10 mg Oral Tablet) for 6 days in the month of September 2025 and 18 days in the month of August 2025 per physician orders. These failures could place residents who receive blood pressure/pulse altering medications at an increased risk for complications such as decreased blood pressure, decreased pulse, exacerbation of symptoms and disease process, and potential hospitalization. The findings include: 1) Record review of Resident #16's face sheet dated 09/08/25 reflected a [AGE] year-old-female with an original admission date 01/25/25. Diagnoses included epilepsy (brain condition that causes recurring seizures), COPD (lung condition caused by damage to the airways that limit airflow), and type two diabetes (insufficient production of insulin in the body). Record review of Resident #16's physician orders dated 7/26/2025 reflected: Midodrine HCl Oral Tablet 5 MG. Give 1 tablet by mouth every 12 hours as needed for hypotension (low blood pressure). Give if SBP is < 100. Record review of Resident #16's blood pressure log on 09/08/25 from August and September of 2025 revealed blood pressures were recorded only on the following days: 8/15/2025- 134/79 mmHg 08/11/2025- 128/80 mmHg Further review revealed Midodrine HCl Oral Tablet 5 mg was not administered in August and September of 2025. In an interview on 09/08/2025 3:57 PM, LVN E stated Resident #16's blood pressure should have been taken twice a day to assess if she required administration of prn blood pressure medication, Midodrine. LVN E stated she had no reason to why Resident #16's blood pressure was not being taken twice a day. LVN E stated it was important to check Resident #16's blood pressure to assess if resident required the medication per physician orders. LVN E stated by not taking Resident #16's blood pressure, she could have been at risk of experiencing signs and symptoms of low blood pressure such as dizziness or fainting An attempt interview with LVN F via telephone on 09/08/2025 at 4:10 PM was unsuccessful. In an interview on 09/08/2025 at 4:42 PM, the DON stated Resident #16's blood pressure should have been taken twice a day to assess if Midodrine was needed. The DON stated by staff not assessing Resident #16's blood pressure, her condition could have worsened. The DON stated the nurse manager who was assigned to the pharmacy task would have been the one in charge of auditing resident medications. The DON stated that position has not been filled for a few months and ultimately, he was responsible to ensure vitals were being taken and medication was being given. The DON stated there was no answer as to why Resident #16's blood pressure and Midodrine medication was not given as prescribed. In an interview on 09/09/2025 at 9:42 AM, Resident #16 stated once in a while staff checked her blood pressure but not twice a day. In a telephone interview on 09/09/25 at 10:31AM, LVN C stated she did not know why she was not documenting Resident #16's blood pressures. LVN C stated if Resident #16's blood pressure was normal she did not document it. LVN C stated, I don't know how Resident #16's blood pressure would be tracked and trended. LVN C stated there was no reason as to why Resident #16's blood pressure was not getting assessed twice a day. LVN C stated Resident #16 could have passed out and possibly hit the floor if her blood pressure became too low. 2) Record review of Resident #34's face sheet dated 09/08/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old female with an admission date of 04/17/25.

LVN H stated Resident #34 should be given her lisinopril 10 mg oral tablet if her blood pressure was over 140/90 mm/Hg that day. LVN H stated if Resident #34's blood pressure was not checked on a given day, her blood pressure could be elevated, and the staff would not know that she needed her lisinopril 10 mg to lower it. LVN H stated untreated high blood pressure could lead to a stroke in residents. In an interview with the DON on 4:42 PM on 09/08/25, the DON stated according to the order, Resident #34's blood pressure should have been taken at least once per day to assess if lisinopril was needed. The DON stated by staff not assessing Resident #34's blood pressure, her condition could have worsened. The DON stated the nurse manager who was assigned to the pharmacy task would have been the one in charge of auditing resident medications. The DON stated that position has not been filled for a few months and ultimately, he was responsible to ensure vitals were being taken and medication was being given.

The facility failed to ensure LVN C did not document care that was not provided on 09/01/25. This failure could affect residents whose records were maintained by the facility and could place them at risk for errors in care and treatment. Record review of Resident #49's admission record reflected a [AGE] year-old male originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with most recent admission on [DATE]. His pertinent diagnoses included malignant neoplasm (cancerous tumor) of the prostate, obstructive and reflux uropathy (urine flow is blocked and causes urine to back up into the kidneys causing kidney damage), urostomy with suprapubic urinary catheter (an opening in the abdomen that connects to the urinary tract to allow urine to drain into a catheter and urinary collection bag), and difficulty walking. Record review of Resident #49's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 15 which indicated he had no cognitive impairment. Record review of Resident #49's care plan dated 01/31/25 reflected the focus, I require a catheter for obstructive and reflux uropathy, other artificial openings of the urinary tract, malignant neoplasm of the prostate, placing me at risk for infection, created on 01/31/25. Interventions listed for the focus included: Catheter Care every shift and as indicated initiated 05/20/25. Change catheter per my physician's order initiated 05/20/25. Monitor for s/sx infection initiated on 05/20/25. Record review of Resident #49's order summary report reflected the following orders: Suprapubic catheter dx: prostate cancer, obstructive and reflex uropathy dated 05/20/25. Suprapubic catheter: change monthly on the 15th day of the month 10-6 shift, every night shift dated 05/25/25. Suprapubic catheter: change collection bag Q2WKS and PRN, every night shift every 2 weeks on Monday dated 05/25/25. Suprapubic catheter: change collection bag Q2WKS and PRN, as needed dated 05/25/25. Record review of Resident #49's August 2025 MAR reflected LVN C documented she changed Resident #49's suprapubic catheter collection bag on 08/18/25. Record review of Resident #49's September 2025 MAR reflected LVN C documented she changed Resident #49's suprapubic catheter collection bag on 09/01/25. During an observation on 09/07/2025 at 3:35 PM, Resident #49's urinary catheter bag had the date 08/16/25 written in black marker on the upper left side of the front of the bag. During an interview on 09/07/25 at 3:37 PM, Resident #49 stated he had the suprapubic catheter placed 25 years ago when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Resident #49 stated the night nurse changed the catheter and the collection tubing/bag at the same time in August and the collection tubing/bag was not changed in the previous week. Resident #49 denied any signs or symptoms of a urinary tract infection. During an observation on 09/08/25 at 8:32 AM and 4:15 PM, Resident #49's urinary collection bag was dated 08/16/25. During an interview on 09/08/25 at 5:10 PM, LVN G stated, all resident care was to be documented immediately after it was done because if it was not documented right away, you could forget to document it, or another nurse could perform the same care again. LVN G stated it was important to do the care that was charted because it was fraud and false documentation if the care was not done. LVN G stated she was not aware that night shift did not change the urinary catheter collection tubing and bag on 09/01/25. LVN G further stated it was important to change the urinary catheter, tubing, and collection bag when ordered by the physician, so the resident did not develop a UTI or sepsis. During a telephone interview on 09/09/25 at 10:33 AM, LVN C stated the urinary catheter collection bag change was not due until the 15th of the month.

LVN D stated she documented the 08/16/25 suprapubic catheter change on the MAR for 08/15/25 because she changed it after midnight but forgot to document the collection tubing/bag change because it was not showing due yet and she did not think to document it in the as needed area. She stated she documented the collection tubing/bag change on 09/09/25 in the as needed section in the MAR. LVN D stated it was very important to document care immediately after it was done because, If it was not documented, it was not done. LVN D further stated, If care was documented but not done for whatever reason, there was an option in PCC to strike out and explain. She stated if urinary catheter care was documented but was not provided, it could lead to infection and hospitalization. During an interview on 09/09/25 at 1:22 PM, the DON stated nurses should follow the physician orders for when to change residents' urinary catheters and collection tubing/bags and if there was an issue with timing, they needed to contact the physician to modify the orders or tell the DON. The DON stated, It was important to document care provided right after it was done. If care was documented as done but it was not, it would not trigger for the care to be provided and it would stay dirty longer. If the catheter and/or bag were not changed when it was ordered, it could cause infection which could lead to hospitalization. He stated when he first started here approximately 8 months ago, he had a meeting with staff concerning what his expectations were for documentation. The DON stated in-services on urinary catheter care were done at least annually. A copy of the facility's policy on nursing documentation was requested 09/09/25, however the facility stated they did not have a specific policy for it. The below referenced policy was provided.
