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 interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for each resident that included measurable objectives and time frames to meet, attain, and/or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for 1 of 7 residents (Residents #25) reviewed for care plans in that: Resident #25 did not have a Care Plan addressing his vape use/smoking. This failure could affect residents by placing them at risk of not receiving individualized care and services to meet their needs. The findings included the following: Review of Resident #25's admission Record dated 6/26/25, revealed he was an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and a re-admission dated of 5/7/25, with diagnoses including unspecified dementia without behavioral disorder. Review of Resident #25's admission MDS assessment, dated 5/10/25, revealed: He had a mental status score of 7 of 15 (indicating his cognition was severely impaired) He was not identified as a current tobacco user. Review of his care plan revealed there was no care plan for his nicotine use. Review of Resident #25's Baseline Care Plan dated 5/7/25 revealed Does the resident smoke?

Residents Affected - Few In an interview on 06/26/25 11:23 AM, the DON and Corporate RN stated smoking was assessed on admission and quarterly. The Corporate RN said people who vaped were also assessed. The DON said she talked to Resident #25 and assessed him for pain, and he had two vapes on the bedside table which she took away. The DON said the Administrator was with her where she took them away. The DON checked Resident #25's electronic record and stated he had no assessments and it did not look like he had a care plan for vaping. She said she did not know why he did not. The DON said it should pop up under the initial care plan for nursing and the MDS nurse was responsible for completing the care plan after that. Review of the facility's policy and procedure on Comprehensive Care Plan, revised 4/25/21, revealed: Every resident will have an individualized interdisciplinary plan of care in place. A baseline plan of care to meet the resident's immediate needs shall be developed for each resident within forty-eight (48) hours of Admission. The Interdisciplinary Team will continue to develop the place in conjunction with the Resident Assessment Instrument completing and conducting Comprehensive Care Plan Meeting and Reviews by day 21 after Admission. The Care Plan is revised every quarter, significant change of condition, Annual or as the resident condition changes on an individualized basis. The Care Plan process is an ongoing review process. To assure that the resident's immediate care needs are met and maintained, the baseline care plan will be developed with forty-eight hours of the residents' Admission. It will be utilized until the Comprehensive Care Plan is developed. The Comprehensive Care Plan is developed within 21 days of Admission. Care Plan Meeting and Care Plan Summary will be completed by the IDT after each Care Plan Review. The resident and their representative will be provided a summary at their request of the baseline care plan that includes but not limited to: Any services and treatment to be administered by the community and personnel acting on the community.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure each resident received adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents for 3 of 7 residents (Resident #25, #32 and #37) reviewed for quality of care in that: 1. The facility failed to assess and care plan Resident #25 for safe vaping, 2. The facility failed to keep Resident #25's vape secure when it was not a supervised smoking time 3. CNA E and CNA D incorrectly transferred Resident #32 the shower chair to the bed by incorrectly applying the gait belt too loosely and hooking under Resident #32's arms. 3.CNA A and CNA B incorrectly transferred #37 from her wheelchair to the bed by grabbing her from the back of her pants and her under arms. These failures could put residents at risk of accidents and serious injuries which could result in a reduced quality of life.

Residents Affected - Some Interview on [DATE] at 11:23 AM the DON and Corporate RN stated smoking was assessed on admission and quarterly The Corporate RN said people who vaped were also assessed. The DON said she talked Resident #25 and he had two vapes on the bedside table which she took away. The DON checked Resident #25's electronic record and stated he had not assessments and it did not look like he had a care plan for vaping. She said she did not know why he did not. The DON said it should pop up under the initial care plan for nursing and the MDS nurse was responsible for completing the care plan after that. The DON stated no one has caught him vaping in the building. The DON stated Resident #25 was usually up and about and compliant with the smoking policy. Resident #32 Review of Resident #32's admission Record, dated[DATE], revealed she was an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included dementia and gait abnormalities. Review of Resident #32's Annual MDS Assessment, dated [DATE], revealed She had a mental status score of 5 of 15 (indicating severe cognitive impairment) She was totally dependent on staff for transfers. Review of Resident #32's Care Plan, revised [DATE], revealed: Resident #32 had an ADL Self-care performance deficit related to disease process, dementia. The goal was Resident #32 would maintain her current level of function through the review date. Identified interventions included: Transfer: The resident is dependent on staff for assistance with transferring. Observation on [DATE] at 1:46 PM Resident #32 gave permission to watch the transfer. CNA E put the gait belt on Resident #32. CNA E and CNA D stood on either side of Resident #32, hooked their arms under her arms and grabbed the back of the gait belt. While lifting Resident #32, the gait belt slid up Resident #32's chest, Resident #32 did not straighten her legs so all of her weight was hanging by her arms. The aides put Resident #32 in the low bed and removed the gait belt. At that time CNA D said aides were trained on transfers but she did not know why they put the gait belt on when Resident #32 had pants on but Resident #32 being in a shower chair threw her off. CNA E stated Resident #32 could straighten her legs but frequently did not so the majority of the time Resident #32 was not weight bearing because she would not straighten her legs. CNA E said she was pretty sure the charge nurses were aware of that. CNA D said Resident #32 got skin tears easily. Both aides said they would not do anything differently and had check-offs done pretty frequently and that the DON had checked them off for two-person gait-belt transfer. Neither aide was aware of an increased risk of injury to Resident #32 to hooking their arms under her arms since she was non-weight bearing. Interview on [DATE] at 11:08 AM the DOR stated a 2-person transfer from the wheelchair would be 1 person put the gait belt on while the other steadied the resident. The DOR said one person should

stand in front of the resident while the other guides from the back. The DOR stated after the wheelchair was locked the resident should be cued, stood and then pivoted to sit. The DOR stated if the gait belt slid up it was not a safe transfer. The DOR said if the resident's feet did not touch ground it was not a safe transfer if the resident's feet were not touching ground there was a potential for falls. The DOR stated the potential outcome for the resident was a fall. The DOR stated the gait belt could cause skin tears, the staff could get injured if someone got off balance. The DOR stated potential injuries to hooking under a resident's arms were shoulder injury from stretching and instability which could cause the resident pain. Interview on [DATE] at 11:16 AM the DON and Regional RN stated a safe 2-person gait belt transfer looked like each staff took a side of the resident, grab back and front of the gait belt, come up at the same time and move the resident from one surface to the other. The DON said staff should not grab under resident's arms. The Corporate RN stated non-weight bearing resident was not a safe two-person transfer. The DON stated staff must not have been checking the Kardex (where the resident's ADL status is kept in the electronic monitoring system). The DON looked up Resident #32's status and read the Kardex documented Resident #32 was dependent on staff for transfer so it had to be updated. The Corporate RN asked about the care plan. The DON said it would be easier for staff and safer for resident to be a lift resident. Interview on [DATE] at 12:00 PM the Administrator and [NAME] President of Regional were informed there was an issue with safe two-person transfers for Resident #32. Neither had questions. RESIDENT #37 Record review of Resident #37's admission record dated [DATE] indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease and muscle weakness. She was [AGE] years of age. Record review of Resident #37's MDS dated [DATE] indicated in part: For cognitive Skills for Daily Decision Making, the resident's was severely impaired. Transfers - (how resident moves between surfaces including to or from: bed, chair, wheelchair, standing position) the resident required extensive assistance;resident was involved in the activity, staff provide weight-bearing support, and two+ persons were required for physical assistance. Record review of Resident #37's care plan dated [DATE] indicated in part: Focus: I have an ADL self-care performance deficit r/t disease processes Alzheimer's. Goal: The resident will maintain current level of function through the review date. Interventions: Transfer: The resident requires limited to extensive staff assistance with transferring. During an observation and interview on [DATE] at 12:20 PM in the secure unit, CNA A and CNA B transferred Resident #37 from her wheelchair to her bed. Both CNAs took the resident from underneath her armpits and by the back of her pants. The resident was unable to assist with the transfer and the staff had to manually perform the transfer for her. CNA A said she was not sure what the transfer status was for Resident #37, but that they usually did two person transfers on all the residents on the secure unit. CNA B said she believed the transfer status was listed on their POC (plan of care) tablet they charted on but was not sure. During an observation and interview on [DATE] at 03:06 PM, CNAs A and B were seen wearing gait belts around their waists. The CNAs said the gait belts had recently been brought to them so they could

use them to transfer residents. The CNAs were asked about the transfer they had performed on Resident #37. The CNAs acknowledged that they should have used a gait belt for Resident #37 but that at the time they did not have the gait belts. The CNAs said if they transferred the residents from under their arms and the back of their pants it could lead to injuries. CNAs said they documented on their POC tablet and that was where the transfer status was listed.
Residents Affected - Some During an observation on [DATE] at 03:10 PM, the CNAs POC tablet indicated for Resident #37 transfer self-performance - how resident moves between surfaces including to or from: bed, chair, wheelchair, standing position. Total dependence - full staff performance. During an interview on [DATE] at 09:40 AM, the DOR (Director of Rehab) was made aware of the transfers made by the CNAs. The DOR said it was expected for the staff to use a gait belt for all transfers for safety. The DOR said taking the resident's from under their arms could lead to injuries. The DOR said if the resident's care plan indicated to use a mechanical lift, then staff should have used the lift. The DOR said she would do in-services with staff on safety transfers. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:40 AM, the Administrator was made aware of the transfers performed by the CNAs by taking the residents from their armpits and the back of their pants. The Administrator said transferring the residents like that could lead to injuries. The Administrator said the staff should have used a gait belt or the mechanical lift to transfer the residents. The Administrator said they would conduct training and in-services regarding the use of gait belts and the mechanical lift. The Administrator said she believed the DON conducted monitoring rounds of the facility and observed how staff performed tasks. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:45 AM, the DON said the staff was expected to use a gait belt for transferring residents. The DON said the staff were not supposed to transfer the residents by taking them from their underarms and clothing. The DON said if the staff transferred the resident from under their arms, that could lead to injuries. The DON said they would be conducting more training and getting together with the DOR to work together and conduct some training with the staff. The DON said they planned on conducting more observations of staff to make sure staff were following the correct steps. Review of the facility's policy and procedure on Smoking, effective [DATE], revealed: It is the policy to accommodate residents who desire to smoke by taking reasonable precautions, providing a safe environment for them, and protecting the non-smoking residents. Procedure: Incendiary devices will be stored by facility staff. Resident will not be allowed to possess any lighters, cigarettes, or other smoking materials. All vaping material will also be secured. Electronic cigarettes will follow the same rules as tobacco. IDT will develop an individualized plan for safe storage, use of smoking materials assistance and required supervision for residents who smoke. This is documented on the Resident Smoking Assessment, the president's Plan of Care, and discussed with the resident and Responsible Party at resident care conference meetings. Record review of the facility's policy titled Safe lifting and movement of residents and dated [DATE] indicated in part: In order to protect the safety and well-being of staff and residents and to promote quality care this facility uses appropriate techniques and devices to lift and move residents.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status, such as usual body weight or desirable body weight range, unless the resident's clinical condition demonstrated that this was not possible or resident preferences indicated otherwise for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #34) reviewed for nutrition.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to provide care and services to maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status for Resident #34. This failure could place residents who are dependent on staff for their nutrition and hydration at risk for nutritional deficit, weight loss, skin breakdown, and overall decline in quality of life. The findings included: Review of Resident #34's admission Record, dated 6/25/25, revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including partial intestinal obstruction, unspecified cause, unspecified dementia, fecal impaction, malnutrition, stroke with paralysis on left side, and need for assistance with personal care. Review of Resident #34's re-admission MDS Assessment, dated 6/20/25, revealed: He had a mental status score of 5 of 15 (indicating severe cognitive impairment).

All food should be in a divided plate or in bowls to prevent Resident #34 from throwing and breaking dishes. Fortified cereal for breakfast. The goal was Resident #34 would have adequate nutrition and fluid intake throughout the review date and receive 2 cups per meals of juice and water, coffee and milk in the morning, and water and fruit punch at lunch and supper. Interventions included to monitor and document intake and offer snacks within diet. Review of Resident #34's Care Plan, revised 6/20/25, revealed: Resident #34 was at risk for nutritional risk related to recent weight loss, Body Mass Index was 16.8 (underweight is below 18.5). The goal was Resident #34 will consume 75% or more of meal with no associate weight loss through next quarter, is large portion now and receives sandwiches on tray as well for lunch and supper. Interventions include Provide and serve diet as ordered. Review of Resident #34's Care Plan, revised on 11/27/23, revealed: Resident #34 had an ADL self-care performance deficit related to hemiplegia.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Review of Resident #34's Care Plan, revised, 12/7/23 revealed:
Residents Affected - Few
Resident #34 had a psychosocial well-being problem related to being dependent, behavior and ineffective coping. The identified goal was Resident #34 would demonstrate adjustment to nursing home placement by review date. Interventions included encouraging participation from the resident who depended on other to make his own decisions and to provide opportunities for the resident to participate in care. Review of Resident #34's weights revealed on 4/5/25 his weight was 130.6. On 6/5/25 his weight was 127.0. This was a 2.76% difference in two months that is only significant due to Resident #34 already being below the recommended Body Mass Index. Observation and interview beginning on 6/24/25 of the lunch meal at 11:42 a.m., it was noted Resident #34 had his tray. Resident #34 was placed in a geri-chair with his right side against the table (the dominant side that had movement). Resident #34's divided plate was observed in the center of the table when Resident #34 was at the corner of the table. Observation at 11:59 a.m. revealed Resident #34 was eating the salad which he could reach, but he could not reach the divided plate with the meat and potatoes on it. Observation at 12:06 p.m. revealed the DON offered Resident #34 a sandwich but did not notice his plate was out of reach. In an interview on 6/24/25 at 12:08 p.m., Resident #34 said he was hungry, and he did not eat his plate because he could not reach it. Resident asked surveyor for the plate to be moved. Surveyor moved the plate. Observation after the interview revealed Resident #34 could reach his plate, he immediately started eating the mashed potatoes. Observation at 12:16 p.m., the DON sat to assist Resident #34 to eat. At 12:28 p.m. Resident #34 got his sandwich and the DON pulled the table closer to where Resident #34 was so he could put the sandwich down. n an interview on 11:37 a.m., the DON stated she identified weight loss as an issue at the facility when she took over the facility a month prior and she was making plans every four weeks to see if there was improvement. The DON said that was currently her main clinical focus. The DON stated she just finished assessing what she thought was the issue and sent her recommendations to the Medical Director, changed the appetite stimulant used, is offering a different supplement and more double portions at meals. The DON said she struggled with the kitchen. In an interview on 6/26/25 at 11:53 a.m., the Regional RN stated there was no policy that addressed placing food within reach of the resident. The MDS Coordinator who was present stated, it's like going to a restaurant and they put the food on the other side of the table. In an interview on 6/26/25 at 11:57 a.m., the Administrator and VP of Regional Operations was informed of the meal observation of Resident #34 not having his plate for over half and hour and no one noticing. They were informed Resident #34 could eat food independently and was hungry. The two were told Resident #34 experienced weight loss and there was no policy addressing leaving the food out of reach. The VP of Regional Operations stated it was common sense for the aides to leave it within reach. In an interview on 6/26/25 at 12:05 PM, the Administrator stated weight loss did flag with the facility's Quality Assurance committee and was currently the DON's pet project.

Residents Affected - Some Review of Resident #14's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 07, indicating severe cognitive impairment. Review of Resident #14's Care Plan dated [DATE] revealed resident has Diabetes Mellitus and received insulin to control blood glucose levels. Record review of Resident #14's physician orders reflected the following order: Basaglar KwikPen 100 Unit/ml solution pen-injector 200 UNIT/ML (Insulin glargine) Inject 27 units subcutaneously once a day. An observation on [DATE] at 10:38 am revealed LVN G's medication cart had an empty bottle of pro stat liquid collagen with dried drippings running down the side of the bottle. An observation on [DATE] at 10:40 am revealed two opened, undated insulin injection pens for two residents (Residents #7 and Resident#14) in LVN G's medication cart. An observation on 06 25/2025 at 11:17 am revealed a bottle of milk of magnesia with dried drippings around bottle cap in LVN F's medication cart. An interview with the DON on [DATE] at 08:40 AM revealed that all insulin pens were dated upon opening. The DON stated that insulin should have been dated upon opening because insulin expired after 28 days putting residents at risk for receiving expired insulin, which could have led residents to receiving ineffective insulin treatment. The DON stated that medication bottles needed to be wiped down after use to prevent bottles from being stored with dried drippings. The DON stated that it was important for bottles to be stored clean to prevent cross contamination. The DON stated that nurses and med aides were responsible for ensuring bottles were clean when being stored. The DON stated that the last in-service done regarding medication storage was done last Friday. An interview with LVN F on [DATE] at 11:27 pm revealed that insulin pens should be dated as soon as they were opened for first use. LVN F stated the nurses were responsible to make sure that all pens were dated. A negative outcome for the resident would be using an old pen that was out of the range of the 28 days and ineffective insulin therapy. LVN F stated that all medication bottles were supposed to be cleaned prior to storing them back into the medication cart to prevent cross contamination. An interview with LVN G on [DATE] at 2:47 pm revealed that the insulin pens were dated as soon as they were opened. LVN G stated that all nurses were responsible to make sure all dates were printed clearly on the insulin pen. A negative outcome of using an undated pen would be not knowing how long ago it was opened thus leading to medication being less effective. LVN G stated that medication bottles were to be cleaned after use and before being stored in medication cart to prevent cross contamination.
