What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 2 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, and record review the facility failed to immediately inform the resident's physician and resident representative of a significant change in the residents' physical status and the need to significantly alter the resident's treatment for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for Change in Condition. The facility failed to correctly notify the physician and resident representative of the extent of one facility-acquired Stage IV pressure injury for Resident #1, thus delaying proper treatment for 2 days. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 08/22/2024. The IJ Template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 4:53PM. While the IJ was removed on 08/26/2024, the facility remained out of compliance at a severity of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy and a scope of Isolated due to the need for implementation of corrective measures and the effectiveness of its corrective plan. This failure could place residents at risk of not having their physician or resident representative informed of changes in their conditions. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's admission record revealed a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the following diagnoses: PRIMARY LATERAL SCLEROSIS (A motor-neuron disease which causes nerves within the brain to slowly break down) DYSPHAGIA, OROPHARYNGEAL PHASE (difficulty swallowing) CHRONIC PAIN SYNDROME PAIN IN UNSPECIFIED SHOULDER OTHER SPEECH DISTURBANCES APHASIA (disorder causing difficulty in verbal communication) MUSCLE WEAKNESS (GENERALIZED) (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.

Progress notes written by LVN I on 7/29/2024 stated Resident #1 had open sores with visible tissue deterioration to the bilateral antecubital. areas (inner elbows), but there was no accompanying skin assessment. A phone order dated 07/29/2024 from the RP indicated the wounds were to be treated with Diflucan 150 milligrams (an anti-fungal), once per day, for 3 days and Nystatin Powder with Inter-Dry until the wounds healed. This order was received and recorded by LVN I for the treatment of topical fungus to the bilateral antecubital areas. There was no mention of open sores to the bilateral antecubital areas in the communication notes, while the progress notes from the same date, indicated open areas with visible skin deterioration. Review of skin assessments for Resident #1 revealed LVN C performed an additional skin assessment on 7/31/2024, which indicated during treatment to Resident #1's bilateral antecubital areas, open sores were noted with tendon exposed. There were no wound measurements or staging of the wound performed. A phone order from the RP indicated Resident #1 was to be sent to the hospital for further evaluation of the wounds. Resident #1 was transported to the hospital via ambulance at approximately 10:45AM. On 08/02/2024 at 6:30PM an interview with the DON revealed CNAs are supposed to look at the resident's legs, arms, feet, back, buttocks, face, etc. during showers, to detect any skin tears or bruises that had not been detected prior. The DON stated she had not provided any hands-on training to CNAs regarding identification of wounds. The DON stated that the CNAs are often at bedside when wounds are dressed, so they have seen wounds and how to care for them but have not been specifically trained on looking for wounds during showers or resident rounds. The Administrator came into the office while we were speaking and stated there was a notebook that showed the teach-back assessments the CNAs do yearly, but she could not locate the notebook. The Administrator stated when the CNAs came to work, they were trained on showers, but not on assessing skin. She stated they have an in-service scheduled to train the CNAs on hydration and skin in November, but there had been no in-service done when (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675978 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 24 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 675978 B.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Resident #1's wounds were discovered. The Administrator stated the facility had a shower schedule for each resident and Resident #1's showers were scheduled for MWF. The DON then stated that Resident #1 was very clean and would take a shower every day if they would let him. She was asked by this investigator if Resident #1 was so clean, why were the wounds to the inside of his elbows not detected during his shower on Monday, 07/29/2024. The DON could not provide a response to this question. The DON stated Resident #1 wore protective sleeves on his arms to keep from getting pressure sores due to his contractures. She stated the sleeves were removed prior to the shower in case they were soiled and need to be replaced. When asked by this investigator why the wounds would not have been detected if the CNA took Resident #1's sleeves off prior to his shower on 07/29/2024, the DON could not provide a response. She stated the CNAs were not in-serviced on skin assessments and reporting after Resident #1's wounds were found. The DON stated the negative outcome of not in-servicing the CNAs might have been that they thought it was not their job to deal with the wounds and possibly a nurse already knew about them. The DON stated when the wounds were first found to Resident #1, LVN I described them to the RP as a fungal infection. Nystatin powder and Diflucan were provided to Resident #1, per the physician's order. On 08/02/2024 at 7:29PM and interview with CNA P revealed she had not been trained specifically on looking for wounds but had been a CNA for a long time and knew what to look for during resident showers and rounds. CNA P stated the facility conducted in-services on Abuse and Neglect and reporting of incidents, but she had not been told to report wounds, specifically. She stated the negative outcome of not reporting a wound was the resident could become very sick with an infection. CNA P stated Resident #1 had indicated to her on 07/29/2024, through his communication device, that he had not received a shower on Friday 07/26/2024 and was still wearing the same sleeves from Wednesday. Review of Progress Notes revealed CNA P showered Resident #1 on 07/29/2024 and found the open areas to his inner elbows which had a purulent smell and green drainage. CNA P stated she told LVN I on 07/29/2024 that Resident #1 had open areas to his inner elbows which required his attention. LVN I applied Nystatin Powder to the wounds and left Resident #1's protective sleeves off so air could get to the wounds. Record review of Resident #1's Braden Scale completed on 7/31/24 revealed a score of 14, indicating that the resident was a moderate risk for skin integrity issues. On 08/02/2024 at 7:44PM an interview with LVN C revealed she could not explain why a Braden Scale which she had completed on 7/31/24 indicated Resident #1 was a Potential Problem for friction and shear, while his Mobility indicated he was Completely Immobile and Bedfast. LVN C stated residents who are bedfast and immobile are usually coded as Problem for friction and shear, due to not making even slight changes in body or extremity position without assistance. LVN C did not note any skin integrity issues for Resident #1 during this evaluation. LVN C stated she performs Braden Scale assessments for all residents in the facility, quarterly. An interview with POA regarding Resident #1 on 8/03/2024 at 1:10PM revealed she had been called by LVN I on 7/29/2024 and was informed Resident #1 had open areas to his inner elbows which were described to her as cuts that were infected. The POA was told by LVN I that Resident #1's wounds were treated with Diflucan and Nystatin Powder. On 7/31/24 the POA was called again by LVN I who stated the cuts had worsened and the facility had contacted the RP to see about transferring Resident #1 to the hospital for further evaluation. The POA stated upon his arrival at the hospital ED, x-rays were performed to ensure there was no bone infection which needed to be addressed. The x-rays were negative (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675978 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 24 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 675978 B.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few for bone infection, but when the POA arrived at the hospital and looked at Resident #1's wounds, they were much worse than what had been described to her on the telephone. She stated she immediately thought that the wounds had been there for more than a day or two. Resident #1 was admitted to the hospital in the early hours of 08/01/2024, where he received IV antibiotics of Vancomycin and Rocephin, until his release in the early hours of 08/03/2024. An interview with the DON on 08/03/2026 at 4:39PM revealed Resident #1 had returned to the facility early this morning with dressings applied to both antecubital areas. When asked if she could show this investigator the wounds, she stated she had been informed not to touch the dressings until Monday due to Resident #1 being scheduled for dressing changes on MWF. The DON stated there was Aquacel packed into the wound and the RP does not want it pulled off until it had a couple of days to heal over the weekend. The DON was asked about the hospital's report of exposed tendon, and she stated that it probably happened when the hospital removed the dressing that the facility put on due to the fact that Resident #1's skin was so thin that it would tear easily. Review of a hospital discharge summary revealed Resident #1 returned from the on hospital 08/03/2024 with new orders to protect wounds and wound dressing with water repellent cover. The dressing was to be removed and replaced if the dressing became wet, every MWF for shower days. Aquacel Ag Foam External Pad (Silver) was to be applied to the bilateral antecubital areas every MWF for wound care. Directions: Cleanse wound with wound cleanser, pat dry with 4x4 gauze, apply Aquacel AG and wrap with kerlix. The hospital discharge summary Quality Measures Documentation on page 8 revealed: Wound 07/32/24: Pressure Injury Right antecubital (active); Would 07/31/24: Pressure Injury Left anterior; upper arm (active). On page 9 of the hospital discharge summary, the following was noted: Musculoskeletal: chronic contracures of bilateral upper extremities. Skin: Chronic wounds to bilateral antecubital fossae, left antecubital fossa wound weeping purulent discharge. An interview with the RP on 08/04/2024 at 12:40PM revealed when she was first called by the facility on 07/29/2024 regarding Resident #1, she was told by LVN I Resident #1 had a rash in his armpits. She prescribed Nystatin Powder and Diflucan thinking Resident #1 had a heat rash due to the extreme heat outside, the fact that Resident #1 sweats a lot and had probably developed a heat rash, due to the inability to move his arms. The RP stated she received a photo on 07/31/2024, of a wound to Resident #1's left antecubital area which was taken by an unnamed member of facility staff that clearly showed exposed tendon to the antecubital area. She immediately gave orders for Resident #1 to be transported to the hospital, via EMS, for treatment. The RP stated in her professional opinion there was no way the wound presented in the photo could have developed in 2 days' time, unless Resident #1 had been sitting in a tub of water, with elbows submerged for the entire 2 days. The photo of the wound was sent by the RP to this investigator and clearly revealed the infected wound and exposed tendon of Resident #1's inner elbow. On 08/04/2026 at 2:16PM an interview with the Administrator revealed CNAs and LVNs usually report any wounds that they see during showers and rounding to the Charge Nurse, which records indicated on 07/29/2024, was LVN I. The Administrator stated she was aware of the skin integrity issue to Resident #1's antecubital areas on 07/29/2024 but had been told by LVN I that Resident #1 had a rash to his inner elbows, not open wounds. When the Administrator reviewed LVN I's documentation, she discovered LVN I had reported to the RP that Resident #1 had a rash to the armpit, not the inner elbow.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety documentation did not match the description of the wounds. LVN I stated he had made a mistake in documentation, and it was an easy fix in charting. The Administrator stated Resident #1's wound had been treated with Diflucan and Nystatin Powder starting on 07/29/2024, after a phone order was received from the RP. Resident #1 was treated with Diflucan and Nystatin Powder from 07/29/2024 through 07/31/2024 when the true extent of the wounds to Resident #1 were revealed and he was transported to the hospital. LVN I was relieved of his duties at the facility on 07/31/2024. Residents Affected - Few An interview with the Administrator and DON on 08/26/2024 at 11:04AM revealed staff were now acutely aware of the importance of correct, concise documentation after an in-service was held on 08/22/2024. In this in-service, the DON emphasized the importance of documenting exactly what has been seen, with regard to wounds, taking concerns, even if thought to already be reported, to the Charge Nurse on duty. If those concerns were not addressed by the Charge Nurse, staff was instructed to move up the chain of command to ensure residents are receiving the proper care and attention they deserve. Record review of a policy provided by the facility titled Pressure Ulcer/Injury Risk Management dated July 2017 revealed: Reporting - Notify attending MD if new skin alteration noted. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 08/22/2024 at 4:53PM. The Administrator and DON were notified. The Administrator was provided with the IJ template, and a Plan of Removal was requested at that time. The facility's Plan of Removal was accepted on 08/23/2024 at 8:50AM and read as follows: Name of Facility Facility Address August 22, 2024 The plan of removal represents the center's allegation of compliance. This plan of removal serves as the facility's response to the immediate jeopardy notification the center received during the exit conference on August 22, 2024, at 5:09PM from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission related to identification of changes in skin integrity. The allegation is that staff did not identify changes in skin integrity for Resident #1 and that CNAs (certified nurse's assistants) were not trained to identify changes in skin integrity. The allegation also indicated the physician and resident representative were not informed of skin integrity issues in a timely manner. Immediate Actions 1. A routine skin assessment was completed and documented on in Resident #1's chart, indicating no new concerns on July 28, 2024, at 11:09 AM. On 07/29/2024, during routine shower, the CNA reported the change in skin integrity noted for Resident #1 to the charge nurse. The CNA noted open areas to bilateral antecubital areas. The charge nurse assessed the area, notified the physician, and initiated new orders, including the administration of Diflucan and wound care to both areas. The family was notified at that time as well. The nurse documented in the progress notes that the areas of concern were bilateral antecubital areas.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety 2. On 7/31/24, the charge nurse noted the areas to the bilateral antecubital areas were not improving and notified the physician. Orders were received at that time to transfer residents to the hospital of the family's choice. Resident #1 was transferred to the emergency room for treatment. 3. On 08/02/2024, Resident#1 returned to the facility with wound care orders. There were no changes in the resident's medications and no antibiotics were ordered. Residents Affected - Few In-Service Education Facility implemented the following action plan that had the potential to affect 39 residents. 1. Facility conducted in person education to all CNAs who were in the facility on August 22, 2024, at 1800 PM. The education included prevention of developing or worsening contractures, proper use of shower/skin monitoring sheets, reporting changes in skin integrity to charge nurses and documentation.

Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that a resident with a pressure ulcer received necessary treatment and services, consistent with professional standards of practice, to promote healing, prevent infection, and prevent new ulcers from developing for 1 of 4 residents (Resident # 1) reviewed for contractures. Residents Affected - Few The facility did not prevent the development of one facility-acquired Stage IV, exposed tendon, pressure injury for Resident #1. This failure could place residents at risk for worsening of an ulcer, infection, and a decreased quality of life. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 08/04/2024. The IJ Template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 4:00PM. While the IJ was removed on 08/06/2024, the facility remained out of compliance at a level of more than minimal harm and a severity of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy and a scope of Isolated due to the need for implementation of corrective measures and the effectiveness of its corrective plan.

F 0686 ENCOUNTER FOR SCREENING FOR COVID-19 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety PERSONAL HISTORY OF COVID-19 Residents Affected - Few OTHER CONSTIPATION OTHER SEASONAL ALLERGIC RHINITIS Record review of Resident #1's MDS dated [DATE] indicated no pressure injury over a scar or bony prominence, no current unhealed pressure injury, and no detection of a Stage IV pressure injury. There were also no noted skin conditions. Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 7/3/24 indicated no pressure injury over a scar or bony prominence, no current unhealed pressure injury and no detection of pressure injuries. There was no documentation of any noted skin conditions. An interview with the DON and Admn. on 08/02/2024 at 6:30PM revealed CNAs had not been formally trained on performing resident skin checks while giving showers. She stated CNAs looked for skin conditions such as scratches, bruises, skin tears and any injury of unknown source, but did not specifically check a resident's contractures for any skin deterioration. The DON stated CNAs were often at bedside when wounds were treated by licensed staff but had not been specifically trained on looking for open wounds during showers or rounding. The Admn. stated there were teach-back assessments done yearly for CNAs regarding showering residents and assessing them for bruises, cuts, skin tears and any skin condition which would require further assessment by a licensed staff member. The Admn. was asked to produce the teach-back documentation for CNAs, but the binder could not be located. The DON stated Resident #1 was extremely clean and would take 2 showers per day, if allowed. She stated his scheduled shower days were MWF. The DON stated she was unsure why CNAs would not have found the open area to Resident #1's left antecubital (inner elbow) area when he was showered on Monday, 7/29/2024. When asked what a negative outcome of not instructing CNAs on proper showering techniques and skin assessment, the DON stated CNAs might think that any wound they found had already been seen by a licensed staff member and therefore were not their responsibility. Review of Resident #1's Progress Notes dated 07/29/2024 indicated an open area to the left antecubital area, which was treated with Nystatin Powder and Diflucan, both of which were ordered by the RP. An observation of Resident #1 on 8/3/2024 at 2:22pm revealed Resident #1 was laying in bed. Resident #1's elbows were loosely wrapped with gauze and there was folded gauze in the crease of both elbows. Resident #1 had a washcloth rolled in the palms of both hands due to contractures. On 08/02/2024 at 7:29PM an interview with CNA P revealed she had not been trained specifically to look for wounds or open areas to resident's skin, while performing showers. She stated the Admn. and DON trained the CNAs at least monthly on Abuse and Neglect of Residents and Reporting of Resident Incidents and Accidents, but she had not been specifically trained on reporting wounds. When asked the negative outcome of not reporting a new or worsening wound to licensed staff, she stated the wound could become infected and the resident could become very sick. Review of Resident #1's Physician Orders revealed Resident #1 was to have had skin assessments performed every Sunday by licensed staff and CNAs.

Review of Progress Notes revealed CNA P showered Resident #1 on 07/29/2024 and found the open areas to his inner elbows which had a purulent smell and green drainage. CNA P stated she told LVN I on 07/29/2024 that Resident #1 had open areas to his inner elbows which required his attention. LVN I applied Nystatin Powder to the wounds and left Resident #1's protective sleeves off so air could get to the wounds Record review of a skin assessment completed 7/31/24 on Resident #1 revealed suspected deep tissue injuries to right antecubital and left antecubital. The skin assessment further documented: During treatment to resident's bilateral antecubital, both sites noted open. Contacted physician. New order received to send resident out for further assessment and treatment . An interview with the LVN C on 08/02/2024 at 7:44PM revealed weekly skin assessments were placed in the Treatment Administration Record or Miscellaneous sections of the resident's charts. She stated Resident #1's skin assessments may not have been completed on Sundays specifically, but they were done within the next day. She stated CNAs were supposed to perform skin checks when they gave showers but had not been trained on looking for wounds. An interview with Resident #1's POA on 08/03/2024 at 1:10PM revealed she felt as if the facility had been negligent in finding the open area with exposed tendon, to Resident #1's elbow. She stated she received a call from the facility on 07/29/2024 informing her that a small, open wound had developed on the inside of Resident #1's left elbow. Resident #1's arms are contracted at the elbow, so the skin between his upper arm and forearm were always touching. He did not have any protection from skin deterioration in this area unless the staff put his arm sleeves on him. She stated the facility told her they were treating the area with Diflucan and Nystatin Powder and would continue to keep her informed of any changes in Resident #1's overall health (ie. fever, chills, bleeding in the area). On Wednesday, July 31st the POA received another call from the facility which stated the area to Resident #1's inner elbow had gotten worse, and they were going to transport the resident to the hospital of her choice for further evaluation. He was transferred to a hospital at approximately 11:15AM on 7/31/24. Record review of the hospital Discharge summary dated [DATE] revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of Cellulitis (skin infection) of the Left Antecubital (left inner elbow). Resident #1 had received IV antibiotics of Vancomycin and Rocephin for the skin infection. Resident #1's POA stated when she saw the open area to Resident #1's inner elbow it was much worse than what the facility had described on the telephone. The tendon was exposed through a hole in Resident #1's inner elbow and the surrounding skin was red and warm to the touch. Resident #1 remained in the hospital on IV antibiotics until 08/02/2024, when he returned to the facility. The discharge summary indicated the following: Quality Measures Documentation on page 8 - Wound 7/31/24 pressure injury right antecubital and wound 7/31/24 pressure injury left anterior upper arm. Page 9 of the discharge summary indicated muscoskeletal chronic contractures of bilateral upper extremities and skin - chronic wounds to bilateral antecubital fossae; left antecubital fossa wound weeping purulent discharge. On 08/03/2024 at 4:39PM during an interview, the DON was asked to show this investigator the wound to the inside of Resident #1's left elbow.

Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety An interview with the RP on 08/04/2024 at 12:40PM revealed when she was first called by the facility on 07/29/2024 regarding Resident #1, she was told that Resident #1 had a rash in his armpit. She prescribed Nystatin Powder and Diflucan thinking Resident #1 had a heat rash due to the extreme heat outside, the fact that Resident #1 sweats a lot and had probably developed a heat rash, due to the inability to move his arms. She received a photo of a wound to Resident #1's left antecubital area which was taken by an unnamed member of facility staff. She immediately gave orders for Resident #1 to be transported to the hospital, via EMS, for treatment. She stated in her professional opinion there was no way the wound presented in the photo could have developed in 2 days' time, unless Resident #1 had been sitting in a tub of water with elbows submerged for the entire 2 days. Residents Affected - Few Record review of the photo of the wound was sent by the RP to this investigator and clearly revealed the infected wound and exposed tendon of Resident #1's inner elbow. An interview with the Admn. on 08/04/2024 at 2:16PM revealed she was aware of the skin integrity issue of Resident #1 on 07/29/2024. She stated LVN I, who has since been relieved of his duties at the facility, told her about the wound and the orders for Nystatin and Diflucan from the RP. When the Admn. reviewed the progress notes entered by LVN I they stated Resident #1 had a rash to his left armpit. She stated she asked the LVN I if he knew the difference between an elbow and an armpit and was given no reason why the call to the RP was made stating Resident #1 had a rash and the charting of the call indicated an open wound to the inner elbow. The LVN I told the Admn. it was a mistake and an easy fix in charting. She stated Resident #1 remained in the facility with the open wound until 07/31/2024 when he was transported to the hospital for further evaluation.
