use of a wheelchair but would not use it. She said she was not working the day he was sent to the hospital.
During an interview on 02/04/2026 at 9:40 AM LVN F said she was the charge nurse on the memory care
unit for the first time on 02/02/2026. She said she was not familiar with Resident #95. She said she was
PRN staff and usually worked 2 other halls.During an interview on 02/04/2025 at 9:45 AM the DON said
Resident #95 had admitted in November 2025 and had done pretty well for a while but he had started
falling a lot. She said he had hit his head a couple of times with no fractures or internal brain bleeding. She
said he had bruising on his forehead and a black eye. She said when he fell he would get up before he
could be assessed. She said he had a general decline since admission but recently before his discharge he
had been declining more rapidly. She said they had therapy try to do some gait training to help build up his
strength and increase his steadiness but it was not real successful because his short term memory was so
bad he could not remember what he had been taught and carry out the exercise. She said she did not know
if the notification to the RP was made when the resident was transferred to the hospital on [DATE].She said
he was sent to a small satellite ER on [DATE] and was transferred to the main hospital in a larger city on
01/18/2026. She said that same evening there had been several residents fall and the charge nurse could
have been distracted if she did not notify the RP. She said family did not visit often. She said the resident
had begun falling more and they had tried many different interventions but they were not successful. She
said he was very active and hard to re-direct. The DON reviewed Resident #95's record and said the fall
incident report dated 01/14/2026 indicated the charge nurse had attempted to call the RP three (3) times
and received no answer. She did not know if there was an inability to leave a message. She said she had
tried to call LVN P on 02/04/2026 and she did not answer the phone. She said the employee was difficult to
contact. She said that she felt 3 attempts to call was adequate in the facility's attempt at notification of the
RP. During an interview on 02/04/2026 at 10:05 AM RN J said she was PRN staff but worked the memory
unit frequently. She said she was familiar with Resident #95. She said he was very delusional and hard to
re-direct. She said he was unsteady on his feet and his gait was poor. She said he wanted to do things he
wanted to do and was stubborn. She said she worked with him the week prior to his transfer to the hospital.
She said he had bruising to his face and head from a previous fall the week before. She said x-rays had
been done with a mobile unit vendor and were negative for any fractures or internal bleeding. She said he
had a wheelchair from the facility available for his use but he refused to use it. She said he cursed at staff
when they tried to re-direct him. She said his arms were still strong and he would swat at staff to leave him
alone so he could do things independently.A phone interview with LVN P who made the transfer for
Resident #95 was attempted and the phone was not answered, and the voice mailbox was full and a
message could not be left. Record review of a facility policy titled Change in a Resident's Condition or
Status revised November 2022 indicated the following: 4. Unless otherwise instructed by the resident, a
nurse will notify the resident's representative when:.e. it is necessary to transfer the resident to a

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review
(PASRR) Level I assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for 4 of 10 residents (Residents #64,
#9, #20, and #47) reviewed for resident assessments. 1.The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the
PASRR Level 1 screening dated 9/15/25 for Resident #64. The PASRR Level 1 screening did not indicate a
diagnosis of mental illness, although the diagnosis (Delusional Disorder) was present on 3/22/24. 2. The
facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the PASRR Level 1 screening dated 9/11/25 for Resident #9. The
PASRR Level 1 screening did not indicate a diagnosis of mental illness, although the diagnosis (Delusional
Disorder) was present at the time.3. The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the PASRR Level 1
screening for Resident #20. The PASRR Level 1 screening did not indicate a diagnosis of mental illness,
although the diagnosis (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) was present upon Resident #20's admission date
on 11/01/25.4. The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the PASRR Level 1 screening for Resident #47.
The PASRR Level 1 screening did not indicate a diagnosis of mental illness, although the diagnosis (Mood
Disorder, Schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder) was present upon Resident #47's admission date
on 12/11/25. This failure could place residents with positive PASRR at risk of not receiving specialized
services which would enhance their highest level of functioning, and could contribute to residents' decline in
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. Findings included: 1.Record review of the undated face
sheet indicated Resident #64 was a [AGE] year-old female that admitted [DATE]. Record review of the
physician's orders dated 2/3/26 indicated Resident #64 had diagnoses that included: delusional disorders
(a type of serious mental illness characterized by holding one or more firm, false beliefs/delusions, for at
least 1 month which are based in reality, often non-bizarre, such as being followed, poisoned, or loved from
afar), anxiety (intense, excessive and persistent worry), and mild dementia with agitation (restlessness,
anxiety, irritability, and at times verbal or physical aggression). The physician's disorders indicated Resident
#64 had orders dated 8/2/25 for Depakote extended release, 250 mg, 1 tab by mouth at bedtime related to
delusional disorder. Record review of the annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #64
had clear speech, understood others, and was understood by others. She had a BIMS score of 11 which
indicated moderate cognitive impairment. She rejected care 4-6 days per week. Record review of the
undated care plan indicated Resident #64 had forgetfulness/delusional behavior related to dementia, a
history of when she got an idea in her head, even if not true, she believed it was true. The care plan
indicated she took medication for delusional disorder/behaviors. Record review of a PASRR Level 1
Screening dated 9/15/25 indicated Resident #64 did not have a primary diagnosis of dementia or mental
illness. During an interview on 2/03/2026 at 12:50 PM, the MDS nurse said she marked the PASRR Level 1
Screening wrong for Resident #64 on 9/15/25 when the facility had the CHOW. She said she indicated
Resident #64 did not have mental illness, but Resident #64 got a diagnosis for delusional disorder on
3/22/25. She said Resident #64 did not have a primary diagnosis of dementia so she should have marked
the PL 1 positive for MI. During an interview on 2/03/2026 at 1:36 PM, the MDS nurse said marking a
PASRR Level 1 Screening negative, when it should have been positive, could cause residents to miss out
on potential services and/or counselling they could receive from PASRR services. During an interview and
record review on 02/03/2026 at 2:17 PM, the MDS nurse provided this surveyor a Form 1012 Mental
Illness/Dementia Resident Review that she said she would turn into the MD to sign indicating Resident #64
had MI related to delusional disorders. The 1012 form indicated, Complete this form only for nursing facility

to determine whether to submit a new positive PL 1 screening form on the Long Term Care Portal because
further evaluation is needed. During an interview on 2/04/2026 at 2:09 PM, the SW said if a resident had a
mental illness diagnosis, she would expect them to be PASRR positive on their PL 1. She said if a resident
had MI, ID, or DD, and were marked negative, they could miss out on services that would benefit them.
During an interview on 02/04/2026 at 2:21 PM, the DON said anyone with MI, DD, or ID should be marked
as positive on their PL 1 so that they could get all the care that they needed. If a resident was marked
negative and they were positive, they could miss out on treatments that would provide them needed care.
The DON said if a resident had MI it would be beneficial for their overall quality of life and well-being to get
extra services through PASRR. During an interview on 2/04/2026, at 2:27 PM, the ADM said anyone with
MI, IDD, ID should be marked as positive on the PL 1, so that they could get all the care that they needed
and support services for a better quality of life. He said if the PL 1 was marked negative and should have
been positive, it could adversely affect their quality of life because the PASRR services gave them more
positive things. The ADM said he had seen residents receive PASRR services and they really seemed to
enjoy it. 2. Record review of Resident #9's face sheet, dated 02/03/26, reflected he was an [AGE] year-old
male, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included delusional disorders The onset date was
04/26/24. Record review of Resident #9's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/01/25, reflected he had a
BIMS score of 99, which indicated he was unable to complete the BIMS interview. His cognitive skills for
daily decision making were moderately impaired. He was usually able to make himself understood, and
sometimes able to understand others. He received an antipsychotic medication routinely.Record review of
Resident #9's PASRR Level 1 Screening, dated 09/11/25, indicated that in Section C, Mental Illness was
marked as no, which indicated Resident #9 did not have a mental illness. 3. Record review of Resident
#20's face sheet, dated 02/02/26, reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male, admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. His diagnoses included Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (a mental health condition triggered by
experiencing or witnessing terrifying events like accidents, abuse, or war, with symptoms lasting over a
month). The onset date was 11/02/25.Record review of Resident #20's admission MDS assessment, dated
11/03/25, reflected he had a BIMS score of 05, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. He was
sometimes able to make himself understood, and he was sometimes able to understand others.Record
review of Resident #20's PASRR Level 1 Screening, dated 11/01/25, indicated that in Section C, Mental
Illness was marked as no, which indicated Resident #20 did not have a mental illness.4. Record review of
Resident #47's face sheet, dated 02/03/26, reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female, admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included Mood disorder , schizoaffective disorder (a mental health
problem where you experience psychosis as well as mood symptoms), and Bipolar disorder (This mental
health condition causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs, called mania, and lows, known
as depression). The onset date for all three diagnoses was 12/11/25. Further, Resident #47 had a diagnosis
of dementia (a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that
are severe enough to interfere with daily life), but it was designated as primary. The primary diagnosis was
a Mood Disorder.Record review of Resident #47's admission MDS assessment, dated 12/15/25, reflected

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide an ongoing program to
support residents in their choice of activities, both facility-sponsored group and individual activities and
independent activities, designed to meet the interests of and support the physical, mental, and
psychosocial well-being for residents 1 of 2 units (secure unit) reviewed for quality of life, in that: The facility
failed to ensure there were organized activities available to secured unit residents on 02/02/26.The facility
failed to ensure the activities calendar was initially posted for February, 2026, and once it was posted, was
followed. This failure placed residents at risk for a diminished quality of life, behaviors, isolation, and lack of
stimulation. Findings included: During an interview on 02/02/26 at 11:45AM, the family member of a
resident in the secure unit, Family Member M, said the only time she saw activities conducted in the
secured unit was when occupational therapy or hospice would come in and do some kind of activity. During
an observation on 02/02/26 at 10:17AM, the residents in the secured unit were sitting in the dining room
watching TV. Some residents were asleep in their wheelchairs or couches, and some were wandering
around the hall. There was no activity ongoing at this time. There was an activity schedule posted, but it
was for the month of January. There was no activity schedule posted for February.During an observation on

some were sitting around in the dining room watching tv. Other residents were up and wandering around
the unit.During an interview on 02/02/26 at 02:55PM, the Activity Director said that day was her 3rd full day
as the activity director. She said her first day was January 28th, but she was required by the facility to
continue to administer medications as a medication aide. She said she was about to step away to go
administer more medications. She said she did not have access to the computer in the activity director's
office yet, and was unable to access activity director materials. She said she did not have a schedule for
activities in the secured unit for February yet.During an interview on 02/03/26 at 09:40AM, the Activity
Director provided a schedule of activities for the secured unit for February.Record review of the Activities

time. Some residents were still eating lunch.During an interview on 02/03/26 at 1:06PM, CNA N said the
Activity Director did not conduct any activities in the secured unit on 02/02/26. She said the aides left out
colors for the residents to color. She said there was no specific time when the aides were responsible for
doing the activity because they have a lot going on. She said they tried to incorporate activities, but they
were doing rounds, smoke breaks, showers, passing trays, and incontinent care. She said the aides had
been responsible for activities in the secured unit for the last 2 years. She said the previous activity director
only came back to the unit to do activities when state was in the building. She said the risk to the residents
was that they could have a decreased quality of life and increased boredom.During an observation on
02/03/26 at 01:13PM, there was no activity being conducted in the secured unit at that time. The CNAs

residents was decline and decreased quality of life.During an observation on 02/03/26 at 01:20PM, there
was no activity being conducted in the secured unit at that time.During an interview on 02/03/26 at

scheduled at 01:00PM that day.During an interview on 02/04/26 at 01:29PM, the Activity Director said she
did not conduct any activities in the secured unit on 02/02/26. She said she did go back to the secured unit
on 02/02/26 to ask the residents and aides what they liked and did not like to do. She said after lunch she
had to work on the medication cart because the other staff needed her help. She said it was her
responsibility to ensure activities were being conducted in the secured unit. She said she started in the
Activity Director role on the 26th of January. She said she had not yet been able to work full time as an
Activity Director, because she was still required to work as a medication aide. She said she was not
certified as an Activity Director yet, but she signed up for the Activity Director course on 02/03/26 after the
survey team inquired about her certification. She said she would start the course as soon as she got the
materials to work on it. She said the risk to the residents was that they could decline due to not having an
outlet in activities. She said she is unsure how long the unit has gone without activities. She said in the past
when she had worked on the weekend as a med aide, she had not seen many activities in the unit at all.
She said she was sick the past weekend and did not come up to the facility for any activities.During an
interview on 02/04/26 at 01:57PM, the DON said the Activity Director and the Administrator were
responsible for ensuring that activities were scheduled and that the schedule was followed. She said the
risk to the residents was a decreased quality of life due to less interaction and brain stimulation.During an
interview on 02/04/26 at 02:01PM, the Administrator said his expectation was that activities should have
been scheduled and conducted throughout the day. He said they placed a medication aide in the activity
director position. He said the activity director had not yet signed up for the activity course until 02/03/25. He
said the risk to the residents not receiving activities could cause decreased quality of life due to the drop in
stimulation. He said he expected the Activity Director to keep the activity schedule like it was medication.
Record review of the facility's policy, Activity Programs, last revised June 2018, reflected: .Activity programs
are designed to meet the interests of and support the physical, mental and psychosocial wellbeing of each
resident.2. Activities offered are based on the comprehensive resident-centered assessment and the
preferences of each resident.6. Activities are scheduled 7(seven) days a week and residents are given an
opportunity to contribute to the planning, preparation, conducting, cleanup and critique of the programs.11.
Scheduled activities are posted on the resident bulletin board. Activity schedules are also provided
individually to residents who cannot access the bulletin board.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services
(including procedures that assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all
drugs and biologicals) to meet the needs of each resident for 2 of 4 medication carts (Cart Hall 2 and Cart
Halls 1 & 3) reviewed for pharmacy services. The facility failed to ensure the nursing staff responsible for
the safekeeping of narcotics performed and documented change of shift narcotic counts on multiple shifts
and days for Medication Cart Hall 2 and Cart Halls 1 & 3. This failure could place residents at risk for loss of
medications and possible drug diversion.Findings included: During an observation and interview on
02/03/2026 at 09:01 AM, MA-B was noted standing at Medication Cart Hall 2. The top drawer of the cart
was open and a key ring with keys on it was noted lying on top of the cart. When asked if MA-B was
available for observation of medication administration, MA-B said she was not the medication aide for the
residents. MA-B said she was the staffing coordinator. She said she was also a medication aide and helped
in that capacity when needed. She said she was checking the medication cart for needed supplies. MA-B
said she obtained the keys to the cart from MA-C who was on another hall at that time. She said the key to
the narcotic box in the cart was also on the key ring. MA-B said she counted the narcotics with MA-C when
she took control of the keys to the cart that morning (02/03/2026). MA-B said she forgot to sign the narcotic
count record. During an interview with MA-C at 09:10 AM on 02/03/2026, she said she counted the
narcotics with MA-B prior to giving her the keys to the carts and narcotic boxes for Hall Cart 2 and Hall Cart
1 & 2. She said she did not get to the facility in time to count the narcotics with the off-going night nurse
every day. She said she counted the narcotics in the carts she would use every day with whoever had the
keys. MA-C said she counted Hall Cart 2 and Hall Cart 1 & 3 with MA-B when she arrived at the facility that
morning. During a second interview with MA-B on 02/03/2026 at 09:16 AM, MA-B said she did not count
the narcotics with MA-C when she arrived at work that morning. During a second interview with MA-C on
02/03/2026 at 09:18 AM, MA-C said she counted narcotics with LVN-E that morning when she arrived to
work. During an interview with LVN-E on 02/03/2026 at 09:20 AM, LVN-E said she had not counted the
narcotics with MA-B when she arrived to work. During an interview on 02/03/2026 at 09:21 AM with MA-B,
MA-C, and LVN-E, MA-C looked at LVN-E and said, I counted with you this morning. LVN-E shook her head
no and said she had not counted with MA-C. When surveyor asked MA-C who she had gotten the keys to
Hall cart 2 and Hall Cart 1 & 3 from, she did not reply. When asked a second time, MA-C looked at LVN-E.
LVN-E then said, In the book and pointed toward Hall Cart 2. When surveyor asked MA-C if the keys to the
cart were left unsecured, inside the narcotic count book lying on top of Hall Cart 2, MA-C replied yes.
During an interview on 02/03/2026 at 09:32 AM, MA-C said she did not count the narcotics in Hall Cart 2
and Hall Cart 1 &3 with anyone when she obtained the keys to the carts from the notebook. She said she
counted the narcotics by herself. MA-C said it was important to count narcotics every time keys were
passed from one person to another to reduce the risk of missing or lost narcotics and other drugs. During
an interview with on 02/03/2026 at 10:23 AM, MA-C said she left at 03:00 PM on 02/02/2026. She said
counted the narcotics with MA-B and gave her the keys to Cart 2 and Cart 1 & 3. MA-C said she did not
work 12-hour shifts. She said she worked from 7AM to 3 PM. She said there was no place on the narcotic
count signature sheets to sign for counts done at any time except the beginning and end of the 12-hour
shifts. MA-C said she counted the narcotics with MA-B on 02/02/2026 at 3:00 PM and signed that she had
performed the count at 6 PM because it was the only spot available to sign. During an interview on
02/03/2026 at 10:26 AM, MA-B said she counted the narcotics on Cart 2 and Cart 1 & 3 with MA-C at
03:00 PM

on 02/02/2026. She said she counted the narcotics on the carts with one of the nurses when she left at 5
PM. A review of the Narcotic Count Notebooks for Hall Cart 2 and Hall Carts 1 & 3 noted the first page in
the notebooks to have the following instructions in large, bold print: Please count Narcotics and sign the log
sheet daily! Record review of the Controlled Substances Count sheet for Hall Cart 2 indicated spaces
available for the 6 AM - 6 PM and 6 PM - 6 AM shifts only. There was 1 missing signature for the 6 PM - 6
AM shift on 02/02/2026 which indicated MA-C had not performed a narcotic count with anyone before
relinquishing control of the cart. There were no entries for the performance of narcotic counts on
02/03/2026. Record review of the Controlled Substances Count sheet for Hall Cart 1 & 3 indicated an
undated entry below the date of 02/02/2026 for an off-going night nurse with no corresponding signature of
the on-coming nursing staff. During an interview and record review with the DON on 02/03/2026 at 10:35
AM, she provided a reconstructed accounting of the exchange of control of Hall Cart 2 which indicated Hall
Cart 2 and keys were handed off a total of 8 times from 07:00 AM on 02/02/2026 to 07:00 AM on
02/03/2026. The exchange of control of the cart containing narcotics involved 2 Medication Aides, 4
Licensed Vocational Nurses, and 1 Registered Nurse and resulted in 13 missing signatures for narcotic
counts from 07:00 AM on 02/02/2026 through 07:00 AM on 02/03/2026. The DON said she expected the
nursing staff to count the narcotics at shift change and any time the keys and control of the medication
carts were passed from one person to another. She said she expected nursing staff to be honest about
their handling of narcotic counts. She said she expected the keys to the medication carts and narcotics to
be maintained in a secure manner and not left on top of the cart in the narcotic book. The DON said
narcotic counts and the security of the keys to the carts and narcotics were important for minimizing the
risk of missing or lost narcotics. A review of the facility's policy dated 2001 and revised November 2022 and
titled Controlled Substances indicated the following: Dispensing and Reconciling Controlled
Substances1.Controlled substance inventory is monitored and reconciled to identify loss or potential
diversion in a manner that minimizes the time between loss/diversion and detection/follow-up.2.The system
of reconciling the receipt, dispensing, and disposition of controlled substances included the
following:a.Records of personnel access and usage, .3. Nursing staff count controlled medication inventory
at the end of each shift, using these records to reconcile the inventory count.4. The nurse coming on duty
and the nurse going off duty make the count together and document and report any discrepancies to the
director of nursing services.

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
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection
prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to
help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 of 5
residents (Residents #2) reviewed for infection control and prevention. The facility failed to ensure CNA G
and CNA H donned (put on) appropriate PPE (a gown) prior to preparing Resident #2 for a transfer using a
Hoyer lift and adjusting his urinary catheter drainage collection bag. This failure could place residents under
their care at risk for the transmission of communicable diseases and infections. Findings included: Record
review of a face sheet dated 02/02/2026 indicated Resident #2 was an [AGE] year-old male who initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] after a hospital stay. He had diagnoses which
included heart disease, chronic kidney failure, influenza A, and sepsis (serious condition resulting from the
presence of harmful microorganisms in the blood or other tissues and the body's response, potentially
leading to the malfunctioning of various organs, shock, and death). Record review of Resident #2's
quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] noted Resident #2 had a BIMS of 14 which indicated his
cognition was intact. Record review of Resident #2's care plan dated 02/01/2026 indicated he required
Enhanced Barrier Precautions to prevent spread of multidrug-resistant organisms. During an observation
on 02/02/2026 at 01:15 PM, CNA-G and CNA-H were observed preparing Resident #2 for a transfer from
his bed to a shower bed using a Hoyer lift. Upon preparing to enter Resident #2's room, a sign indicating
the need for EBP was noted posted on the wall to the left of the outer doorway. A plastic 3-drawer container
with PPE in it was noted inside and to the left of the doorway. CNA-G and CNA-H were observed to turn
Resident #2 from side to side while placing a Hoyer lift sling under him. Resident #2 was noted to have an
open wound to his sacrum area. CNA-H was observed to use his right, gloved hand to reposition Resident
#2's foley catheter drainage bag from underneath the bed to the foot of the bed. CNA-G and CNA-H were
observed not wearing disposable gowns during this time. During an interview on 02/02/2026 at 01:25 PM,
CNA-G said she did not see the EBP sign on the wall beside the door leading to Resident #2's room. She
said she knew she was supposed to wear gowns and gloves when providing care to residents with wounds,
g-tubes, and foley catheters, but forgot. She said EBP was important in protecting residents and staff from
the spread of disease. During an interview on 02/02/2026 at 01:28 PM, CNA-H said he did not know what
conditions required EBP but knew the EBP sign meant he was to wear gown and gloves when providing
direct care to residents in rooms with the EBP sign outside their doors. He said he did not see the EBP sign
on the wall beside the door leading to Resident #2's room. He said it was important to follow infection
control protocol to keep from spreading infection. During an interview on 02/03/2026 at 01:50 PM, the DON
said she expected staff to follow EBP instructions when caring for residents with foley catheters. She said
EBP signs were posted on the outside walls beside the doors to resident rooms to remind staff of the need
for gowns and gloves to be used when providing direct patient care. She said she was ultimately
responsible for ensuring staff adhere to EBP. Record review of the facility's policy dated 2001and titled
