Identify yourself at each interaction. Face the resident when speaking and make eye contact. Reduce any distractions- turn off TV, radio, close door etc. The resident understands consistent, simple, directive sentences. Provide the resident with necessary cues-stop and return if agitated. During an observation on 9/2/2025 at 10:42am of the female unit, there was one CNA providing care for 7 residents. 4 female residents were sitting in the common area watching TV, 2 female residents were sitting at the table doing activities (coloring) and one female resident was sitting outside alone smoking (in an enclosed sitting/smoking area and could be seen by staff through a large window). During an interview on 09/02/2025 at 11:40am the MA said staffing had been an issue due to people calling in or not showing up for work. She said there were times other staff had come in for extra shifts and times they could not get coverage for the workers who did not show up. She said the facility was staffed with only four CNAs and two nurses. One nurse worked the A & B halls (secured units), one nurse works C&D halls and one CNA staffed on each hall. She said she felt the facility would benefit from having more available CNAs and nurses. She said she felt the residents would receive a better quality of care with an increase of staff. During an interview on 9/4/2023 at 9:15am CNA-F said on most days more help was needed. She said she had worked up to 16 hours straight but had heard of other workers working 18 to 24 hours straight and going home for a 6-hour break and coming back for their regular 12-hour shift. She said staff volunteered to work the hours if the facility was short staffed. She said they had been provided walkie talkies on 9/04/2025 to call for help when needed, such as when giving a resident a shower, other resident needs or if they needed a break. She said she felt that more staff would be a plus to resident care. She said instead of doing the basic care staff would be able to provide a better quality of care and prevent things such as resident to resident altercation, falls, toileting and any negative incidents.

F 0725 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some on 9/4/2023 at 9:40am the Housekeeping Supervisor said she helped in the kitchen, housekeeping and monitored on the halls. She said she did not provide direct care for residents but did monitor the residents (kept residents separated) on the unit (A & B halls) when the CNA needed to take a break or leave the unit for short periods. She said staffing was an issue some days and more staff would be a plus when caring for residents. She said on the unit most days there were behaviors to address, and one person could not see that all needs were being addressed at all times. She said the female unit had 7 residents that wanted constant interactions of some kind. She said most of them just wanted continual attention from staff as if they felt lonely and it was hard for one staff to assure all needs were met. She said on the male unit there were 15 residents, most with aggressive behaviors or wanted constant attention and it was impossible for one staff to ensure all needs were addressed for all residents on any shift. She said she had not witnessed anyone working more than 12 hours per shift. She said she mainly did housekeeping and did not have to stay over. During an interview on 9/4/2025 at 11:49AM RN-L said she had worked with Resident #1 and Resident #2, in the past and was not at work during the time of the incident between Resident #1 and Resident #2. She said Resident #1 was on hospice and was not aggressive and mostly bedridden. She said Resident #2 was normally not aggressive and to push someone was out of her normal character. She said the incident may have been prevented if there were at least two staff working together on all halls especially the halls A&B (secured units) due to the residents with behavior issues were housed on those halls. She said daily staffing included 2 nurses, one for A&B hall and 1 for C&D hall, 1 med aid, 1 CNA on A hall, 2 CNAs on B hall, one CNA on C hall and one CNA on D hall. She said she felt like there should be sufficient staffing at all times, but not all employees showed up for work as scheduled. She said when staff did not show up to work the on-call person was notified, and they were responsible for getting someone to come in and cover that shift. She said she had not worked more than 12 hours at a time. She said the least amount of CNAs she worked with in the facility was 2 nurses and 2 CNAs. She said when there were only 4 workers in the building at night it left them one worker short. She said one CNA floated from hall to hall helping the other CNAs. She said she had witnessed staff working 6A to 10P due to short staffing. She said she had not seen anyone working close to 24 hours at a time and but did hear that it had happened. She said if there were more staff to cover shifts it would make a difference in the quality of care provided to residents. During an interview on 9/4/2025 at 4:00pm CNA-B said she had not worked 24 hours straight but knew that some of the other staff worked 20-24 hours at a time. She said she volunteered to work extra hours but no more than 12-16 hours straight. She said she was not asked to or felt forced to work the extra hours by the administrative staff. She said she they had been short staffed due to a Covid outbreak and some people quitting, calling in or just not showing up. During an interview on 9/4/2025 at 1:24PM the ADON said the staffing pattern was usually two CNAs on halls C and D, one CNA on hall A, 1 CNA on hall B, one MA and two nurses (1 on hall A&B and 1 on hall C&D) during the day. She said the only staffing changes for the night shifts was one aide on the B hall and no MA was scheduled for the night shift. She said when someone called in, she would come in and cover the shift or another staff was called in to work. If they could not find someone to work, the person on call would cover the shift. She said they had worked with only 4 workers for the entire building in the past. She said it was not ideal but when staff did not come to work, they did the best they could to ensure all of the residents' needs were met. She said they would pull a CNA from A hall, leaving one CNA on the male unit (hall A) occasionally to make sure every hall had at least one CNA. She said sometimes they were fully staffed and other times they were short staffed. She said due to Covid and staff quitting they were short staffed and needed to hire 3 (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676103 If continuation sheet Page 22 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 676103 B.

F 0725 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some CNAs before the facility would be fully staffed. She said they were trying to hire workers at that time. She said they did allow their staff to work 20 plus hours. She said they never asked staff to work 20 plus hours and knew it was not safe for staff or residents if staff worked exhausted. She said the facility was short staffed and some staff volunteered to work extra hours, and they were allowed to work such long hours due to being short staffed and the facility needing coverage. During an interview on 9/4/2025 at 1:24PM the Administrator said she had been notified of low staffing issues. She said the facility was in the process of hiring at least 3 more CNAs. She said the staff especially the CNAs had issues with calling in and not coming for their scheduled shift. She said they tried to staff 1 CNA on hall C and one CNA on hall D for daytime, 2 CNAs on Hall A (Male Unit) and 1 CNA on hall B (Female Unit). She said for the male secure unit there should always be at least 2 CNAs. She said she did not know that staff was working 20-24 hours straight and did not feel it was safe for the staff or the residents to work that many hours. She said she did not feel it was safe for the residents to have resident to resident altercations as someone could get hurt. She said there could be a decline in care if there was not enough staff to sufficiently always address the needs of all residents. Record review of the Facility assessment dated [DATE] indicated Staffing will be based upon the needs and acuity of the residents in-house. If acuity increases so will the staffing departments. This also goes for an overall increase in total census. The administrator will identify needs based on each admission and discharge and will make corrective action in staffing needs.
