F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to immediately consult with the resident's physician of a significant change in the resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status (that is, a deterioration in health, mental, or psychosocial status in either life-threatening conditions or clinical complications) for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #34) reviewed for resident rights. -The facility failed in notifying Resident #34's physician on 06/24/25 right away when resident had a significant change in condition. Resident experienced a choking episode while eating his breakfast at 8:48AM on 06/24/25. This failure placed all residents in the facility who may experience a significant change in condition at risk for harm or injury if not reported to the physician in a timely manner. Record review of Resident #34's face sheet dated 06/26/25 revealed an [AGE] year-old man admitted to the facility on o2/24/22 and again on 04/03/23. Resident diagnoses included the following: Parkinson's Disease (disorder that effects movement, often included tremors {shaking}, aphasia (language disorder effecting a person's ability to communicate), cerebral infarction (a condition where blood flow to the brain is blocked causing brain tissue damage), and gastro-esophageal reflux disease (digestive disease in which stomach content irritates the food pipe lining). Record review of Resident #34's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 14 indicating that resident cognition was intact. Section K (Swallowing/Nutrition Status) did not reflect coughing or choking during meals or when swallowing medications. Further review reflected mechanically altered diet. Section O (Special Treatments, Procedures, and Programs) did not reflect resident receiving-Speech-Language Pathology. Record review of Resident Physician Order Summary Report for the month of June 2025 reflected the following orders:-Dated 01/17/25 Speech to evaluate and treat as indicated-Dated 06/10/25 Xanax 0.5mg 1 tablet by mouth every 8 hours for anxiety-Dated 06/25/25 Stat order for chest X-ray Record review of Resident #34's MAR for the month of June 2025 reflected that the facility was administering medication Xanax 0.5mg 1 tablet my mouth every 8 hours.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few (6:03PM) Hospice was called to reorder lorazepam 1mg PRN, expected to be delivered 06/25/25. Observation on 06/24/25 at 8:48AM of Resident #34 sitting in wheelchair with bedside table in front of him. Resident breakfast tray was sitting on the bedside table Resident started choking excessively with face turning red and then blue. Resident call light was not in reach but sitting on resident bed by pillow that was at the head of resident bed. The surveyor called for help. Resident had eaten approximately 90 % of breakfast. On Resident plate was a 1/2 of toast and a small amount of what appeared to be oatmeal in bowl. LPN B arrived too room with 2 other staff members. When LPN B observed Resident #34's choking she said, Oh My GOD. LPN B attempted to apply the Heimlich maneuver while resident was sitting in wheelchair but was not successful. Resident continued to choke, and the surveyor called for more staff to come. LPN B was trying to lean Resident #34 forward in his wheelchair while patting on resident back. LPN B started preparing to place resident on oxygen via nasal cannula while LVN A agency nurse left the room and returned to room with oxygen saturation device to check resident oxygen saturation. At this time, resident was already receiving oxygen. By this time resident appeared to be in less stress with no further signs of cyanosis (blue skin). When LVN A agency nurse placed the oxygen saturation device on resident's finger, he said resident oxygenation was at 95%. Shortly after, LVN A agency nurse said resident oxygen saturation was ranging between 97-98 %. Resident remained on oxygen at the time of the readings. Before the surveyor exited Resident #34's room, she asked LPN B and LVN A agency nurse if they were going to notify the physician of resident choking incident. Both LPN B and LVN A agency nurse said yes repeatedly that they would notify the physician of the incident. Interview on 06/24/25 at 9:01 AM with CNA BB said she was Resident #34's CNA. CNA BB said resident was able to transfer himself to and from bed to his wheelchair freely. Interview on 06/25/25 at 1:28PM with Resident #34 said he recalled the choking incident on 06/24/25 during breakfast. Resident said the incident scared him. Resident said recently he was beginning to have issues with swallowing but did not say if he told anyone about this.Interview on 06/25/ 25 at 1:58PM the DON said Resident #34 did not experience choking instead, was just coughing. The DON said LPN B told her resident had anxiety episodes and was not choking. The DON said LPN B told her this on 06/24/25 after the incident had happen. The DON said therefore, LPN B administered oxygen to Resident #34. Further interview with the DON after being informed by the surveyor that Resident #34 was eating his breakfast at the time of the incident. The DON said she was not aware that resident was eating during the time of the incident and that she would immediately start in-service with the staff on choking precautions, assessment, and inquiring what type of diet resident was on, if resident diet needed to be changed, and reporting change in condition to resident physician, or hospice doctor if resident was on hospice. The DON said by not assessing the resident properly and reporting to the physician in a timely manner could place the resident at risk for aspiration. The DON was asked for the facility policy on reporting to the physician when there was a change in condition, resident assessment, and choking precautions. Interview on 06/25/25 at 2:04PM with LPN B said she worked at the facility from 6AM-6PM full time. LPN B said when the surveyor called for the nursing staff to come to Resident #34's room, she observed the resident sitting in front of his breakfast tray coughing excessively and had his hands on his wheelchair with his eyes closed and mouth open. LPN B said she attempted the Heimlich maneuver, but it was hard to wrap her arms around resident waist. LPN JB said the other nurse that came in the room was an LVN A agency nurse and CNA RR. LPN B said she pulled out her phone to shine light in resident mouth and did not see any food in resident mouth. LPN B said because she did not see any food in resident's mouth and resident had calmed down, she had determined that resident was not choking. LPN B said some signs and symptoms of silent aspiration were blue lips, drop in (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676160 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 21 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 676160 B.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few oxygen saturation, not being able to move. LPN B said the reason she placed resident on oxygen via nasal cannula was because resident was coughing for so long. LPN B said the reason she did not document the incident or contact the NP, or physician was because resident had calm down and was able to respond. LPN B said when a resident experienced a change in condition example choking and it was not reported to the physician or NP in a timely manner, it placed the resident at risk for aspiration pneumonia and respiratory distress.

LPN B said she was aware that Resident #34 had dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).Interview on 06/25/25 at 2:23PM with CNA MM said when she went to Resident #34's room, he was coughing non-stop and resident breakfast tray was sitting in front of him. CNA MM said she also passed out snacks to the residents and had never witnessed Resident #34 coughing while eating. CNA MM said she could not remember if the facility had in-serviced her on choking due to the facility giving so many in-services. CNA MM said if she witnessed a resident coughing excessively non-stop or choking, she would check to see if resident had something in their mouth, attempt to perform the Heimlich maneuver, and let the nurse know what happened so they could assess the resident. CNA MM said she had been working at the facility for 3 years. Interview on 06/25/25 at 4:30PM with NP R at the facility said she was not the NP for Resident #34.

NP R said she gave a stat order for a chest x-ray to rule out aspiration. NP R said some signs of silent aspiration could be difficulty breathing and respiratory distress, and excessive coughing while eating meals. NP R said this would be considered a change in a resident's condition. NP R said she would want to be notified right away so that she could intervene by giving orders one being a chest x-ray. NP R said if notification to the physician/NP was delayed it placed the resident at risk for respiratory illness. Interview on 06/26/25 at 11:15AM with LPN B said on 06/24/25 she was not Resident #34's primary care nurse. LPN B said the primary care nurse for Resident #34 was LVN J.

The DON then told the Administrator and Quality Assurance Nurse who were both still in the building. The facility did a head count, and the DON called CR #1's doctor and RP after speaking to the bystander to locate CR #1. The bystander told the DON that CR #1 was on the floor near the college and was with the bystander and another unidentified male. CR #1 had an incontinent episode. The bystander reported that she called EMS who came and took CR #1 to the hospital. The DON said the hospital did not report any injuries, and CR #1's blood and UA tests came back negative, and CR #1 was discharged back to the facility. When CR #1 came back to the facility she reported wanting to leave again and became agitated, so she was placed on 1-to-1 monitoring every 15 minutes before she was moved to a hospital psych unit for treatment. The Administrator and DON were not aware CR # 1 was an elopement risk. The DON said CR #1 was later assessed and found to be an elopement risk, and she was placed in the elopement binder. The DON had about 5 residents who have wandering behaviors, but none expressed wanting to go out and leave the building. CR #1's RP told the Administrator and DON after the elopement incident that CR #1 was found having left the building in the past, but no date was clarified. The Administrator said the front doors locked at 7pm daily. The Administrator put red boxes on all facility doors including the front door so if anyone tried to open the door the alarm would activate.

The Administrator and DON in-serviced staff to not share the code to the doors. The DON said the facility had no elopements since this incident. The DON said risk of elopements should be in the care plan but at the facility was previously under a different company so all of the old care plans might not have transferred over. The DON assessed all current residents for elopement and put residents at risk in the binder. The DON said there were no wander guards, and the facility would not be able to accept CR #1 again because she was a fast walker, could walk on her own and was adamant about leaving.
