**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, records review and interview, the facility failed to conduct initially and periodically a
comprehensive, accurate, standardized reproducible assessment of each resident's functional capacity for
5 (Resident # 2 #10, #11, 21, and #52) of 18 residents reviewed for accuracy of assessments. The facility
failed to ensure Resident # 2's MDS assessment accurately reflected discontinuation of G-tube and falls.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #10's quarterly MDS assessments accurately reflected her impairment
to her upper extremity on one side. Resident #11's annual comprehensive MDS assessment did not reflect
his lack of natural teeth in his oral cavity. Resident #21's comprehensive significant change MDS
assessment did not reflect his use of upper denture. Resident #52's significant change comprehensive
MDS assessment did not reflect his lack of natural teeth in his oral cavity. These failures could place
residents at risk of receiving inadequate care and services due to inaccurate assessments. The findings
included: Resident #10 Record review of Resident #10's admission record dated 02/12/2026 revealed the
resident was a [AGE] year old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on
[DATE] with the diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis) and hemiparesis (weakness) of the left side,
seizures (sudden uncontrolled surge of abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes temporary
changes in behavior, movement, sensation or consciousness), left shoulder pain, and fracture of shaft of
left fibula (a break in the midsection of the calf bone). Record review of Resident #10's Quarterly MDS
dated [DATE] that was modified on 02/13/2026 revealed she had a BIMS score of 6 out of 15 indicating
severe cognitive impairment and she was coded in section GG for Functional Abilities as having an
impairment of her upper extremities on one side. Record review of Resident #10's Quarterly MDS dated
[DATE] modified 02/13//2026 revealed she had a BIMS score of 7 out of 15 indicating severe cognitive
impairment and she was coded in section GG for Functional Abilities as having an impairment of her upper
extremities on one side. Observation and interview on 02/10/2026 at 09:57 am of Resident #10 lying in bed
appropriately dressed and groomed, in her room with her left arm at the elbow bent upward toward her
chest and her left ankle positioned inward. The resident was awake, alert, and oriented to person, and
place and said she sometimes participated in therapy or exercises and did not seem to understand what a
splint was. Resident #10 said she broke her left leg before, and her ankle had been positioned that way
since. Resident #10 said and showed surveyor that she could move her arm but could not bend her left arm
straight. Resident #10 said she had no pain at that time in her body and had no care concerns. Resident

Target Date: 04/13/26. Observation and interview on 01/10/26 at 11:10AM revealed Resident # 52 was in
bed alert and oriented. Observation indicated he was on G-Tube feeding. He said he gets his feeding every
2-3 hours, and he was doing well. He said he used to have frequent falls resulted from being dizzy. He said
he bumped his head on one occasion and had to be transported to the hospital and had a few stitches at
the back of his head. He said he was getting better. In an interview with MDS nurse on 02/11/26 at 2:00PM,
she looked at Resident #21 and #52's MDS and said it was an overlook on her side. She would do a
modification on Resident #21 and 52's MDS. Interview with DOR on 02/12/2026 at 12:33 pm regarding
Resident #10 who said Resident #10 was discharged from therapy services after receiving therapy services
related to her left sided upper and lower body hemiplegia and hemiparesis from 09/17/2025 through
09/26/2025. The DOR said she conducted monthly contracture management screens and quarterly reviews
of ADL significant change reports and Resident #10 was part of those reviews because she had limited
ROM in her upper and lower extremities on her left side after a stroke. Record review on 02/12/2026 at
1:32pm of Resident #10's therapy discharge notes dated 09/26/2025 revealed she received therapy for left
sided hemiplegia and limitations to her left upper and lower extremities. Interview on 02/12/2026 at 2:44PM,
with MDS Nurse who when shown Resident #10's 09/03/2025 Q MDS section GG which reflected B. Lower
extremity (hip, knee, ankle, foot) -no impairment, stated, that was my error, the resident has left sided
impairments, and I just coded that wrong. When shown Resident #10's, Q MDS dated [DATE] section GG
was also coded as B. Lower extremity (hip, knee, ankle, foot) -No impairments, the MDS Nurse said it was
her error, and she must have mis-clicked the MDS option. The MDS Nurse said that Resident #10 had both
one-sided upper and lower extremity impairments and that she would modify and update both MDS
assessments. The MDS Nurse was not sure if the facility had a specific policy and procedure on MDS
accuracy and said accuracy of the MDS assessments were important because that was how residents'
needs were met. The MDS Nurse said she had been trained upon hire and in 2023 and was trained at a
sister facility location during that time, by a regional person, who conducted a 2-week training for her
specific to the MDS Nurse role. The MDS Nurse said she received updated training for her role as MDS
based on updates to MDS processes. During a telephone interview with Regional MDS on 02/13/2026 at
1:21 pm he said he had been in his role for almost 1 year and was regional oversight for multiple buildings
and completed MDS training with on-site MDS staff. Regional MDS said the training covered anything MDS
related including MDS accuracy and care plans. Regional MDS said most meetings were virtual unless
there was an identified issue then an on-site 1:1 in-service or training would be conducted. Regional MDS
said they kept no copies of any in-services with staff, and the training was mostly conversations. Regional
MDS said they were unaware of and had not identified through any audits any significant issues with
accuracy of MDS assessments or care plans. The Regional MDS said the expectation would be that the
MDS assessments and care plans would be accurate to ensure continuity of resident care. The Regional
MDS said that although he had conducted audits, he had not conducted any specific audits on accuracy of
assessments or care plans. The Regional MDS said that he had done training with the facility MDS Nurse,
but the training had been virtual, and group related. Record review on 02/12/2026 at 4:12 pm of Resident
#10's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] and Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed they had both been modified
by the MDS Nurse and reflected in section GG Functional Limitation in Range of Motion.1. Impairment on
one side. and was coded for impairment on one side for both upper and lower extremities. Resident #

blood pressure), and anxiety disorder (excessive worry or fear). Record review of the Quarterly MDS dated
[DATE] revealed Resident # 2 was usually understood and usually understands, BIMS score of 12,
indicating moderately impaired cognition, maximum staff assistance required for toileting, bathing and
personal hygiene, and frequently incontinent of bowel and bladder, and presence of feeding tube while a
resident. Observation and interview with Resident # 2 on 2/10/26 revealed she was in bed, resting,
watching TV, and had a tracheostomy with clean dressing and tubing present. There was a suction machine
and ambu bag on the dresser in the corner of the room. There was no feeding tube present. When asked
how she was, she motioned to her trach and whispered she couldn't talk. She nodded her head as if to say
ok. Interview with LVN C at 10:00am revealed Resident # 2 eats ate her own meals, and they monitor her
eating. She said Resident # 2 used to have a feeding tube, but it was discontinued in December, and they
were trying to wean her off the trach. She said she eats ate her meals on her own. Observation on 2/11/26
at 12:15pm revealed Resident # 2 was sitting on the side of her bed with her lunch tray on the bedside
table. She was eating her meal with no assistance. Record review of Resident # 2's physician orders dated
February 2026 revealed regular diet with regular liquids. Further record review of the care plan dated 6/5/25
revealed monitor and document intake and offer substitute if less than 50% was eaten. Record review of
progress note dated 12/16/25 revealed Resident # 2's feeding tube was discontinued by physician order on
12/16/25. The feeding tube removal was not reflected in the 12/25/25 MDS. Record review of Resident # 2's
quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed no falls since admission or prior assessment. Resident # 2 had a fall
on 8/23/25, since the prior assessment on 8/15/25. The fall on 8/23/25 was not captured in the 9/24/25
MDS assessment. In an interview with MDS nurse on 2/13/25 at 10:18am, she said she wasn't sure if
Resident #2's feeding tube fell out or if it was discontinued, but it should have been taken off the MDS. She
also said Resident # 2's fall on 8/23/25 should have been coded on the 9/24/25 MDS. She said the risk of
not having an accurate MDS assessment would be not having an accurate picture of the resident. In an
interview with the DON on 2/13/25 at 10:20am, she said the MDS reflects the resident's condition, and the
feeding tube removal and fall for Resident # 2 should be coded on the appropriate MDS. She said the risk
of having an inaccurate assessment would affect the plan of care for the residents. Record review of
facility's policy titled MDS Completion Accuracy and Timeliness, dated effective 11/2023 and revised
11/15/2023, revealed in part: 1. Each facility must follow most updated MDS RAI rules and regulations for
completing each MDS accurately and timely. 2. Each Facility must also utilize most updated Texas TAC
rules for MDS accuracy.

a resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs with the services that are to be furnished to
attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical well-being for 1 of 18 residents (Resident #3)
reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to ensure Resident #3's comprehensive care plan included
information about her Spanish speaking status. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving
appropriate care and interventions to meet their needs. Findings included: Resident #3 Record review of
Resident #3's admission Record dated 02/10/2026, revealed the resident was an [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic

blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs), dysphagia oropharyngeal phase (a swallowing disorder
caused by difficulty transferring food from the mouth to the esophagus (the muscular tube that transports
food and liquids from the pharynx (the throat) to the stomach and functions as a critical part of the upper
digestive system), dementia (decline in mental abilities including memory, thinking, language and
reasoning), gastrostomy status (clinical condition of having an artificial opening (stoma) in the stomach,
usually with a feeding tube (G-tube) inserted directly through the abdominal wall), and mood disorder
(mental health condition characterized by significant, long-term disruptions in emotional state, such as

began coming for surveyor interviews in pairs). The MDS Nurse said that Resident #3 did not have a care
plan for Spanish speaking or translator needs until surveyor requested a copy of the care plan on
02/13/2026. The MDS Nurse said that Resident #3 had always been Spanish speaking since her admission
and readmission and usually required a translator. The MDS Nurse said Resident #3 should have had a
communication/Spanish speaking care plan and it must have been an oversight on her part because she
was responsible for annual and quarterly updates to resident care plans. The MDS Nurse said that if

language preferences or needs, it could affect her plan of care and lead to miscommunication. The DON
and Administrator both said inaccurate care plans could lead to Resident #3 being unable to communicate
her needs. The DON, Administrator and MDS Nurse all said that care planning was an IDT effort, and that
the SW completed section B of the MDS Hearing, Speech and Vision. Interview on 02/13/2026 at 11:17 am
with SW (with Administrator present), she said she completed sections B, C, D, E and Q of the MDS. When
asked how the SW completed the assessments for Resident #3, the SW said she used a language line
translator application on her mobile device to communicate with Resident #3 because she was Spanish
speaking. The SW said she was not aware that Resident #3 did not have a Spanish speaking or
communication need care plan. The SW said that she completed care plans for some of the residents as
part of the IDT. The SW said that if Resident #3 did not have a Spanish speaking care plan, it could lead to
staff not being able to communicate with Resident #3 about her needs. The Administrator then said, it could
have the potential of miscommunication with Resident #3. Telephone interview with Regional MDS on
02/13/2026 at 1:21 pm he said he had been in his role for almost 1 year and was regional oversight for
multiple buildings and completed MDS training with on-site MDS staff. Regional MDS said the training
covered anything MDS related including MDS accuracy and care plans. Regional MDS said most meetings
were virtual unless there was an identified issue then an on-site 1:1 in-service or training would be
conducted. Regional MDS said they kept no copies of any in-services with staff, and the training was mostly
conversations. Regional MDS said they were unaware of and had not identified through any audits any
significant issues with accuracy of MDS assessments or care plans. The Regional MDS said the
expectation would be that the MDS assessments and care plans would be accurate to ensure continuity of
resident care. The Regional MDS said that although he had conducted audits, he had not conducted any
specific audits on accuracy of assessments or care plans. The Regional MDS said that he had done
training with the facility MDS Nurse, but the training had been virtual, and group related. Record review of
facility's policy Comprehensive Care Plan dated as effective 01/20/2021 and revised 04/25/2021 revealed in
part: Every resident will have an individualized interdisciplinary plan of care in place.The Interdisciplinary
Team will continue to develop the plan in conjunction with the RAI (MDS 3.0) and CAA's.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 on-going review process.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that it was free of a medication error
rate below 5 percent (%) or greater. The facility had a medication error rate of 19.35% based on 6 out of 31
opportunities which involved 1 of 5 residents (Resident #19) and 1 of 3 staff (MA B) observed for
medication administration errors.MA B administered Acetaminophen (a drug that is used to treat moderate
pain and is a fever reducer), Amlodipine Besylate (a drug used to treated elevated blood pressure), Keppra
(a drug used to treat seizures), Clobazam (a drug used to treat seizures), Pregabalin (a drug used for pain),
and Cyclobenzaprine (a drug used for muscle pain) 2 hours and 52 minutes after the scheduled time to
Resident #19 on 2/11/2026 at 10:53 am.These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving
therapeutic effects of the medications and possible adverse reactions. The findings included: Record review
of Resident #19's face sheet dated 2/12/2026 revealed an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included transient cerebral ischemic attack (a
temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain that can cause symptoms similar to those of a stroke),
epilepsy (a chronic neurological disorder that is characterized by recurrent seizures), essential
hypertension (a type of high blood pressure that has no identifiable cause), rheumatoid arthritis (an
autoimmune disease where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues leading to
inflammation in the joints potentially affecting other organs), and vascular dementia (a type of dementia

at 3:05 pm regarding the reason she was 2 hours and 52 minutes late giving Resident #19 her 7:00 am
medications, MA B stated it is because she is unable to be in two places at one time. MA B stated she was
supposed to give medication to residents in hall 300 first, also known as the hospital hall. MA B stated that
she has received training within the year on medication administration and the 5 rights. When asked if she
had mentioned her inability to administer medication on time according to facility policy, MA B stated she
had mentioned it to ADON as recently as that day. MA B stated she had not yet notified the nurse caring for
the resident about the delayed administration but stated she normally would. MA B stated the risk of not
administering medication at the correct time and within correct intervals could make residents become very
sleepy and cause unsafe conditions for the residents. Interview with ADON on 2/11/2026 at 3:21 pm
revealed that she was not told by MA B that she was unable to administer medications on time as ordered
by physician. The ADON stated that she spot-checked in PCC to ensure residents have received their
medications on time every morning. The ADON stated that residents residing in the 300 hall are considered
more acute and receive their medication before residents that live in the 100 hall. The ADON stated that
nurses and medication aides have one hour before and after scheduled administration time to administer
medications. The ADON stated that medication administration times have been adjusted previously to
ensure residents would receive their medication on time and to alleviate staff burden and distress. The
ADON stated the risk of not receiving medication on time could lead to adverse side effects, delayed
therapeutic responses. Interview with the DON on 2/11/2026 at approximately 3:45 pm revealed that she
was not aware that MA B had administered Resident #19's medication 2 hours and 52 minutes late. The
DON was interviewed while she was at MA B's medication cart and spoke directly to MA B and requested
to view administration details screen on PCC. A copy of these specific administration details were
requested from the DON, but the DON stated she was unable to do so. The DON stated the risk of not
giving medication as ordered could lead to adverse health effects for residents. Interview with RN B on
2/12/2026 at 1:45 pm, she stated she was the nurse that oversaw the care for Resident #19 yesterday. RN
B revealed that MA B did not tell her about the late administration of medication. RN B stated the
expectation from medication aides was that they notify her if a resident refused medication, if a medication
was held, or was going to be late. RN B stated she normally has no issues with medication aides
administering medication late. Record review of facility policy titled Administration Procedures for All
Medications with an effective date of 09-2018 and revised in 8-2-2020, states in part .at a minimum, review
the 5 rights at each of the following steps of the medication administration.check the MAR/TAR for the

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility did not 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 out of 2 staff (RN B) and 1 of
4 residents (Resident#4) reviewed for infection control. The facility failed to ensure RN B used PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment) appropriately while providing care to Resident #4 who was on EBP
(Enhanced Barrier Precautions). These failures could place residents at risk for cross contamination,
infection and decline in health. Findings include: Resident #4 Record Review of Resident #4's admission
record dated 02/10/2026, revealed the resident was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including epilepsy (chronic noncommunicable
neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by sudden excessive
electrical discharges in brain cells), dysphagia oropharyngeal phase (a swallowing disorder caused by
difficulty transferring food from the mouth to the esophagus (the muscular tube that transports food and
liquids from the pharynx (the throat) to the stomach and functions as a critical part of the upper digestive
system), dysphagia pharyngoesophageal phase (a swallowing disorder of difficulty transferring food/liquid
from the throat to the esophagus, characterized by symptoms like coughing, choking, nasal regurgitation
and a sticking sensation in the throat), and cerebral infarction (a medical emergency condition caused by
blocked blood flow to the brain, leading to tissue death). Record review of Resident's #4's Annual MDS
dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 7 out of 15 that indicated severe cognitive impairment. Record
review of Resident #4's Order Summary Report dated 02/13/2026 revealed the following order for Jevity 1.5
at 58 ML/HR X 10 HRS.every evening shift for appetite/nutrition enteral feeding to start at 08:00 pm and
stop at 06:00 am. The order dated 02/03/2026 was Active and had a start date of 02/03/2026 with no end or
discontinued date. Record review of Resident #4's Order Summary Report dated 02/13/2026 revealed the
following order for Jevity 1.5 bolus (a single dose of a drug or other medicinal preparation given all at once)
237 ML three times a day for supplement. The order dated 02/03/2026 was Active and had a start date of

General Orientation Checklist, which included Infection Control/Isolation Procedures in-services dated
01/29/2026, revealed RN B signed acknowledgement of both in-services. Observation on 02/10/2026 at
08:58 am of Resident #4's door of her room that was closed and had an EBP sign taped to the front of the
door, which read: Stop.Enhanced Barrier Precautions.Providers and Staff Must Also: Wear gloves and a

feeding to gravity until the carton was completed. While at the door RN B was asked again if Resident #4
was on EBP and RN B said she was not aware that Resident #4 was on EBP before surveyor asked about
it. When surveyor pointed to EBP sign taped on Resident #4's door, RN B said she should have been aware
that Resident #4 was on EBP and that she should have been wearing the appropriate PPE while giving
Resident #4 her bolus feeding as ordered. RN B said she should have put on a gown. She said that she
was new and had only been working at the facility since last week. She said there were a lot of new nurses
and new CNAs. Interview and observation with RN B on 02/10/2026 at 10:12 am, RN B returned to
Resident #4's bedside and donned and doffed PPE appropriately to administer Resident #4's pain
medication. RN B said she should have been wearing PPE the first time she provided care to Resident #4
because Resident #4 had a gastrostomy tube and said she originally did not see the sign posted on
Resident #4's room door. Interview on 02/10/2026 at 11:29 am with the Infection Preventionist who was
also the ADON said she was the IP since October of 2025. The IP said that all staff were trained on
infection control, which included TBP, EBP and contact isolation. The IP said RN B should have seen the
EBP signs posted on Resident #4's room door and the supply of PPE at the bedside. The IP said she
conducted the last infection control training earlier in the month of February and was responsible for helping
to stock and restock PPE daily and posting signs for any transmission-based precautions. The IP said she
did not know why RN B did not adhere to Resident #4's EBP status and said that anyone with a
gastrostomy tube or indwelling catheter or tube, should have EBP's in place. The IP said RN B could
spread or give Resident #4 an infection by providing care without using proper PPE. Interview on
02/10/2026 at 11:35 am with DON who said that all staff should and were expected to adhere to any EBP
or TBP order for a resident and that the IP was responsible for ensuring the appropriate PPE and any
precautions were set in place for the residents as ordered. The DON said she was not aware that RN B had
been observed not using the appropriate PPE while providing care to Resident #4's gastrostomy tube site
and said that RN B should have been wearing appropriate PPE as indicated for any resident on EBP's. She
said that RN B's failure to donn appropriate PPE and adhere to Resident #4's EBP status could be the
spread of infection. Follow up interview with RN B on 02/11/2026 at 1:27 pm said the risk to Resident #4 for
her not using EBP could be the spread of infection, or it could cause Resident #4 to get an infection. RN B
said she had been trained on ANE and infection control including EBP and TBP during orientation because
there was a video about it. RN B said she had subsequently used EBP and appropriate PPE. Record
review of facility policy Infection Control Enhanced Barrier Precautions dated Effective 04/01/2024 revealed
in part: Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) are a CDC guidance to reduce the transmission of
multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDRO), in health care settings, including nursing homes. EBP require team
