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 interview and record review, the facility failed to immediately inform the resident's physician when there was a significant change in resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #52) reviewed for notification of changes in that: The facility did not notify Resident #52's physician for a significant change in weight. (weight loss of 25.8 pounds in 30 days.) This deficient practice could place residents at risk of not having their physician notified of changes resulting in a delay in continuity of care.The findings were: Record review of Resident #52's face sheet, dated 7/16/2025, revealed Resident #52 admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included cerebral palsy (a group of conditions that affect movement and posture), dysphagia (A condition with difficulty in swallowing food or liquid. This may interfere in a person's ability to eat and drink), and lack of coordination. Record review of Resident #52's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #52 was rarely or never understood and was moderately impaired for daily decision making. Record review of the same document, revealed the following item: Section GG, Item GG130 Self Care.Review of this item revealed Resident #52 required moderate assistance with eating and substantial assistance with toileting, bathing and dressing. Record review of the weights tab in the electronic medical record for Resident #52 indicated: 6/1/25 weight 137.0 lbs. 6/7/25 weight 182.9 lbs. gain of 45.9 lbs. 7/14/25 weight 157.1 lbs. loss of 25.8 lbs. Record review of Resident #52's care plan, dated 7/16/25 revealed the following focus area initiated on 8/28/24: The resident is resistive to care, Refused meal on 5/19/25 Record review of Resident #52's Progress Notes, dated 6/1/25 thru 7/16/25 revealed no documentation indicating that the resident's primary care physician was notified of any significant weight changes. During an interview on 7/16/25 at 12:15 pm with the DON, she said she was currently in charge of monitoring resident weight variances. She stated the previous assistant director of nursing was responsible for monitoring weights and following up on any changes, but she was relieved of her duties last week. The DON stated she took over monitoring residents' weights this week. She said the CNAs on each hall were responsible for weighing residents at the first of the month. She said a resident list of who needed to be weighed was given to the CNAs. She said the resident weights were turned into the charge nurse and the charge nurse entered the data into the resident's Electronic Medical Record (EMR). She said the EMR system would alert the nurse to any weight variances and the residents that had a weight variance were placed on a list for reweight. She said that if there was a variance after the reweight, the ADON that oversaw the weight program was responsible for contacting the doctor, resident representative, and the dietician. She said notifications were documented in the nurse's progress note. She stated she was not aware of Resident #52's weight variance and that he would be weighed again today. She stated a possible reason for the variance could be related to the weight of the resident's wheelchair not being subtracted from the weight in combination with recent hospitalizations that included intravenous fluid (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.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews and record reviews the facility failed to ensure that a resident who needs respiratory care, including tracheostomy care and tracheal suctioning is provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, the resident's goals and preferences for 1 resident (Resident #57) out of 2 residents observed for respiratory therapy.The facility failed to obtain physician orders for Resident #57's Bipap settings he used each night at the facility since his admission on [DATE].This failure could place residents who reside at the facility at risk for inaccurate care and communication of health conditions to other providers.Record review of Resident #57's electronic medical record and face sheet dated 7/16/2025 reflected he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included: cellulitis (bacterial infection of the skin and the deeper tissues beneath the skin), obstructive sleep apnea (sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to a blockage of the upper airway), nonrheumatic mitral valve insufficiency (mitral valve in the heart does not close properly).Record review of Resident #57's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected he could understand others and be understood. He scored a 14/15 on his BIMS which signified he was cognitively intact. He could ambulate independently with a walker. Resident #57 required supervision or touching assistance from staff with his ADLs. He was continent of bowel and occasionally incontinent of bladder. Resident #57's Bipap (non-invasive ventilation that helps people breathe easier) machine was present upon admission.Record review of Resident #57's comprehensive care plan date initiated 6/10/2025 indicated Enablers at this time. With interventions that included: Bipap at bedtime due to sleep apnea.Record review of Resident #57's Order Summer Report, Active as of: 7/16/2025 indicated a physician's order for bipap to be used at bedtime and as needed while sleeping. The physicians order did not indicate what the bipap settings were to be. Record review of Resident #57's medication administration record for July 2025 reflected: bipap to be used at bedtime and as needed while sleeping and was signed as administered twice daily from 7/1/25 through 7/16/25. During an observation on 7/15/2025 at 11:04 am, Resident #57 was in his room lying in his recliner with a Bipap machine on his bedside nightstand with the connected tubing and mask in a plastic bag hanging from the top drawer.During an interview on 7/15/2025 at 11:04 am with Resident #57, he stated he used the Bipap at night and brought it with him from home. He stated he needed the Bipap at night for extra oxygen and he used it every night. He stated he would put the Bipap mask on himself and all he did was turn on the machine.

During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 9:43 am the DON stated Resident #57 needed a physician's order for his Bipap settings and she did not know why it was not obtained when he was admitted . She stated without a physician's order, the treatment could be given at the wrong setting or time and cause discomfort or respiratory distress. During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 3:30 pm the Administrator said it was the charge nurse's responsibility to make sure bipap settings were entered into the system. He said the potential hazard of not obtaining a physician's order for the bipap settings would be for the resident to have respiratory distress.
