This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 receives adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for accident hazards (Resident #1). The facility did not ensure the oxygen canister in Resident #1's room was secured/stored properly. This failure could place residents at risk for injury. Findings included: Record review of the Resident #1's face sheet indicated Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old and admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including abnormalities of gait, weakness, Parkinson's disease, high blood pressure, centrilobular emphysema (characterized by damage to your respiratory passageways [known as bronchioles]) and other abnormal finding of the lung. Record review of the MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 understood others and made himself understood. The MDS indicated Resident #1 had no cognitive impairment (BIMS of 15). The MDS indicated he required extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, and eating. The MDS indicated Resident #1 was totally dependent on staff for toilet use, personal hygiene, and bathing. The MDS indicated that during the 7 days look back period walking, transfers, and locomotion with an assistive device had not occurred. The MDS indicated he was always incontinent of bladder and bowel. The MDS indicated Resident #1 had shortness of breath, or trouble breathing with exertion, with sitting at rest and with lying flat. The MDS indicated the resident had not received oxygen therapy during the 14 day look back period. Record review of the care plan revised on 1/6/23 indicated Resident #1 required the use of oxygen PRN (as needed) due to his history of nicotine dependence, centrilobular emphysema, and abnormal findings of the lung field. The care plan noted, efforts will be made to ensure oxygen is used in a safe manner . The active physician's order with a start date of 11/10/22, reflected Resident #1 was to be administered oxygen at 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula as needed for shortness of breath. During an observation on 7/7/23 at 12:40 p.m., Resident #1 was lying in his bed. There was a free standing oxygen canister (not secured to the wall or floor) sitting next to the head of his bed. The oxygen canister was not secured in any transport device or rack. Resident #1's bed was to the right (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few of the oxygen canister, approximately 5-6 inches. His nightstand sat to the left of the oxygen canister, approximately 5-6 inches. The oxygen canister sat approximately 5-6 inches from the back of the wall (at the north of the canister). No items were to the south of the canister. Oxygen tubing was connected to the canister and was coiled to the top of the canister. During an interview and observation on 7/7/23 at 2:08 p.m., revealed Resident #1 was lying in his bed. He said he had not used oxygen in months but sometimes needed it to help him breathe. The oxygen canister was still next to his bed, unsecured. Resident #1 said the oxygen canister had been right there, just like that in the room for at least 2 months. During an interview on 7/7/23 at 3:10, CNA A said CNAs did not do anything with oxygen or oxygen equipment. CNA A said oxygen tanks were to be secured during transport and at all times because of the risk of explosion. CNA A said she regularly took care of Resident #1 but had not noticed the free standing oxygen tank in his room. CNA A said if she had noticed the oxygen tank in the room not secured, she would have gotten the nurse. During an interview on 7/7/23 at 3:13 p.m., CNA B said CNAs did not do anything with oxygen or oxygen equipment. CNA B said oxygen tanks were to be secured during transport and at all times because of the risk of fire. CNA B said she regularly took care of Resident #1 but had not noticed the free standing oxygen tank in his room. CNA B said if she had noticed the oxygen tank in the room not secured, she would have gotten the nurse. During an interview and observation on 7/7/23 at 3:30 p.m., revealed RN A stood in Resident #1's room. Resident #1 was lying in his bed. He said he had not used oxygen in months but sometimes needs to help him breathe. The oxygen canister was still next to his bed, unsecured. RN A said the oxygen canister should not be free- standing in the resident's room. RN A said she had not noticed the oxygen canister in the room earlier while providing care to the Resident #1 but would remove it immediately as it was a hazard. RN A said she regularly took care of Resident #1 but could not say exactly how long the canister had been in his room. RN A said it was possible someone from therapy left it there after he (Resident #1) was transported from therapy to his room. RN A said the free-standing canister was a hazard because it could easily fall over if Resident #1 attempted to get up or if staff were to bump it unintentionally while providing care. RN A said if the canister fell it could cause injury to staff or could cause a fire. RN A removed the canister out of Resident #1's room and placed it in the oxygen supply room. There was a note on the front of the oxygen supply room that read Attention!!! Place all O2 Cylinders in a rack or secure with a chain do not leave free standing. During an interview on 7/7/23 at 3:45 p.m., OTA B said Resident #1 had not received therapy services since 6/12/23. OTA B said it was not safe to leave an oxygen canister unsecured and her technicians would know that. OTA B said oxygen was usually secured in a device that attached to the resident's wheelchair. OTA B said she did have a technician working in June 2023 that assisted with the transports to and from therapy, but currently she did not. During an interview on 7/7/23 at 3:55 p.m. the DON said the risk of a free-standing oxygen cylinder was that the cylinder could easily be knocked over which could cause a fire or explosion. The DON said staff were to perform rounds every 2 hours and she expected nursing staff to look for hazards during those rounds. The DON said she would expect to identify a free-standing oxygen tank as a safety hazard. During an interview on 7/7/23 at 4:05 p.m., the ADM said the facility performed weekly (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675966 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 3 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 675966 B.
