**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure an encoded, accurate and complete discharge MDS was electronically completed and transmitted to the CMS System within 14 days after completion for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #20) reviewed for discharge MDS assessments.The facility failed to ensure a discharge MDS was completed and transmitted for Resident #20's within 14 days of his discharge to the hospital.This failure could place residents at risk of not having assessments completed and submitted in a timely manner as required.The findings included:Record review of Resident #20's electronic face sheet, accessed on 01/27/2026, revealed the resident was a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included epilepsy (seizures), Type II diabetes (a problem in the way the body regulates and uses blood sugar), acute respiratory failure (a life-threatening condition that occurs when fluid leaks from small blood vessels in the lungs and builds up in the air sacs) and cerebral infarction due to occlusion of left middle cerebral artery (stroke that may result in paralysis on one side of the face or body or loss of coordination). The resident's payer source was Medicare A.Record review of Resident #20's EHR revealed a progress note by LVN B dated 01/07/2026 at 5:40 PM stating the resident experienced a sudden loss of consciousness in the dining room with hypotension (a decrease in blood pressure) and agonal breathing (involuntary respirations caused by low oxygen in the blood). The resident's MD was notified immediately, who gave the order to send the resident to the ER. Emergency services were notified, arrived at 5:52 PM, and transported the resident to the hospital.Record review of Resident #20's EHR revealed a progress note by NP D dated 01/09/2026 at 8:00 PM stating she was unable to round with the resident due to his transfer to the hospital for loss of consciousness and an increase in oxygen demand.Record review of Resident #20s electronic MDS assessments revealed an admission MDS Assessment with an ARD of 11/01/2025. There was no evidence of a discharge MDS completed or transmitted to CMS.During an interview on 01/27/2026 at 2:30 PM, MDS LVN A stated when residents were discharged to the hospital they were generally anticipated to return to the facility, and Resident #20's discharge MDS should have been initiated the day the resident left or the day after. It was her responsibility to complete and transmit the discharge MDS and she missed it. She was occasionally assigned other duties besides the completion of MDS assessments and could not explain specifically why this discharge MDS was missed, but understood timely completion of discharge assessments was important.During an interview on 01/28/2026 at 10:55 AM, the administrator stated the facility had two MDS LVNs who were responsible for completing MDS assessments but they were occasionally assigned other duties. The administrator stated it was important MDS assessments were completed in a timely manner so the facility knew how to care for the residents.During an interview on 01/28/2026 at 11:05 AM, the DON stated the MDS LVN was responsible for completing MDS assessments, but the facility's census had increased recently and it was difficult for the two MDS LVNs on staff to keep up with the assessments in a timely manner.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents with limited range of motion received appropriate treatment and services to increase range of motion and/or prevent further decrease in range of motion for one resident (Resident #53) reviewed for range of motion. The facility failed to ensure Resident #53's right hand splint (medical device used to treat hand contractures, permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin and surrounding tissues that causes stiffness, placed in the hands to help improve range of motion) was in place to her right hand. This failure could place the resident at risk for decrease in mobility and range of motion and contribute to worsening of contractures. Record review of Resident #53's Face Sheet dated 01/29/26, documented a [AGE] year-old female originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with her last admission date of 07/30/25. Resident #53's diagnoses included hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side (neurological conditions causing one-sided body impairment, from a stroke), aphasia following cerebral infarction (language disorder resulting from damage to brain regions responsible for language comprehension and formulation, often following a stroke), dysphagia following cerebral infarction (difficulty swallowing after a stroke) and frontal lobe and executive function deficit following cerebral infarction (a stroke that causes executive function deficits, affecting planning, decision-making, problem-solving, and impulse control leading to difficulty with daily tasks). Record review of Resident #53's Annual MDS dated [DATE] revealed a severe cognitive impairment for daily decision making. Section O - Special Treatments, Procedures and Programs did not indicate any therapy, including restorative nursing, in the last 7 days. Record review of Resident #53's Care Plan with the last revision date of 12/18/25 indicated a focus of Alteration in musculoskeletal status r/t impaired ROM to R hand. The intervention included FYI: Resident has a right-hand splint per restorative and or therapy. Monitor Right hand every shift for any s/sx of breakdown, redness, open areas, blistering, bruising, unusual skin appearance, every shift. The date initiated was 12/18/25. Record review of Resident #53's active orders as of 01/29/26 revealed an order dated 12/18/25 that stated FYI: Resident has a right hand splint per restorative and or therapy. Monitor Right hand every shift for any s/sx of breakdown, redness, open areas, blistering, bruising, unusual skin appearance, every shift. During an interview and observation with a family member on 01/29/26 at 1:40 pm, she said the splint on Resident #53's hand was paused when therapy stopped a few months ago. Resident #53 was observed with a rubber hand spacer with fingers in holes of a rubber device on her left hand but her right hand appeared to be curled under her shirt hem. During an interview on 01/29/26 at 1:53 pm with PT C who worked with Resident #53 stated the resident was discharged from PT and OT on 11/11/25 due to reaching her potential. PT C stated the Restorative Aide should have taken over the splint and nursing and therapy should have monitored it since there was an order to have it monitored. During an interview with RA E on 01/29/26 at 2:02 pm, RA E stated, We are doing lower extremities on Resident #53 like stretching her legs. We don't have program set up to do hand therapy. We see her 3 times per week. During an interview with the DON on 01/29/26 at 3:59 pm, the DON stated therapy was managing Resident #53's PT, OT and SLP but they were supposed to roll a restorative plan over to the RA after the resident no longer qualified for skilled therapy. Resident #53 already had a contracture and it could worsen without further interventions. The Director of Rehabilitation was the one who was supposed to set up restorative plans. The MDS Nurse wrote the care plan based on a splint management meeting. The RA plan was never set up. The Director of Rehabilitation was no longer employed so nursing was monitoring therapy and RA plans

Phone interview with Residents #104's family member on 01/27/2025 at 11:24 a.m. She confirmed that she leaves leftover food in the family's personal refrigerator to eat when she visits. She recalls DON instructing her to notify the nursing staff when she leaves food in the personal refrigerator so it can be labeled and dated, but she forgets. During an interview with the DON on 01/28/26, at 1:37 p.m., the DON confirmed that perishable food and drinks in residents' personal refrigerators should be labeled and dated to prevent residents from consuming spoiled food. The DON stated that nursing was responsible for removing undated, unlabeled food items from residents' refrigerators daily, including assisting families in labeling and dating food items brought in. The DON stated that families sometimes bring food for residents without notifying the nursing staff. She said she would send a memo to all family members instructing them to notify the nursing staff when they bring food to residents and place it in their refrigerators. She added that her charge nurses were responsible for overseeing this task, and her ADONs would be monitoring at random.
