Purpose: The facility must ensure that residents who are trauma survivors receive culturally competent, trauma-informed care by professional standards of practice and accounting for residents' experiences and preferences to eliminate or mitigate triggers that my cause re-traumatization of the resident. IV. Assessment Facilities should use a multi-pronged approach to identifying a resident's history of trauma as well as his or her cultural preference. This would include asking the resident about triggers that may be stressors or may prompt recall of a previous traumatic event, as well as screening and assessment tools such as the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) admission Assessment, the history and physical, the social history/assessment, and others. Triggers Facilities must identify triggers that may re-traumatize residents with a history of trauma. A trigger is a psychological stimulus that prompts a recall of a previous traumatic event, even if the stimulus itself is not traumatic or frightening.

F 0699 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete For many trauma survivors, the transition to living in an institutional setting (and the associated loss of independence) can trigger profound re-traumatization. While most triggers are highly individualized, some common triggers may include: Experiencing a lack of privacy or confinement in a crowded or small space; Exposure to loud noises, or bright/flashing lights' Certain sights, such as objects that are associated with those that used to abuse, and/or Sounds, smells, and even physical touch. Care Planning to Address Past Trauma: The facility should collaborate with resident trauma survivors, and as appropriate, the resident's family, friends, and any other health care professionals (such as psychologists, mental health professionals) to develop and implement individualized interventions. In some cases, if a facility has more than one trauma survivor, social services might consider establishing a support group that is run by a qualified professional, or allowing a support group to meet in the facility. In situations where a trauma survivor is reluctant to share his or her history, facilities are still responsible to try to identify triggers that may re-traumatize the resident and develop care plan interventions that minimize or eliminate the effect of the trigger on the resident. Trigger-specific interventions should identify ways to decrease the resident's exposure to triggers that re-traumatize the resident, as well as identify ways to mitigate or decrease the effect of the trigger on the resident.

Review of the Facility's In Service Training Topic: labeling and dating. Everything lable and dated before put in Refrigerator conducted on 5/3/2024 by the DS and attended by staff, which included [NAME] B and DA C. Review of the Facility's Dietary Services Policy & Procedure Manual dated 2012 revealed, Food Storage and Supplies, Procedure: 6. When items are received from the vendor, they should be first examined for expiration date, and if an expiration date is present, it is beneficial to mark it by circling it so it is readily visible and noticeable. It is important to distinguish between an expiration date and a production date, or a best by or use by date. Production dates indicate when the product was manufactured, not when it expires, and should not be interpreted as a best by or use by date. Best by or use by dates indicate when a product will have best flavor or quality and are not an indicator of the product's safety. As the quality may deteriorate after the date passes, the dietary manager should closely inspect any products that are past the best by date to determine if they are still (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676227 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 12 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 676227 B.

Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure CNA A followed standard precautions during peri care for Resident #8 when he failed to perform hand hygiene and change gloves after cleaning feces. These failures could place residents at risk for developing infections. Findings included: Review of Resident #8's Face Sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] with readmission on [DATE]. Diagnoses included urinary tract infection (infection in any part of the urinary system), acute kidney failure (kidneys suddenly stop working properly), morbid obesity (complex chronic disease in which a person has a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher) and dementia (loss of cognitive functioning thinking, remembering, and reasoning to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life). Review of Resident #8's MDS assessment, dated 05/29/2024, reflected a BIMS score of 03 indicating severe cognitive impairment. MDS further reflected the resident required substantial assistance with functional abilities.
