cognitively impaired with a BIMs score of 3. She required moderate assistance with transfers, toileting, and
personal hygiene and required the assistance of 1 person. She was occasionally incontinent of urine and
frequently incontinent of bowels. She had sustained one fall without injury since the prior assessment.

recently, and the staff and her family have told her she was not to get up by herself. She chuckled and
stated she did not think she needed help to go to the bathroom but stated she was trying to keep her family
happy and ask for help. In an observation on 01/06/2026 at 9:55 a.m. Resident #1 was observed being
assisted from her wheelchair to the bed by CNA D. Resident #1 was able to hold to the side rail of the bed
but required extensive assistance to stand up with CNA D holding on to her arm and pulling her up with the
back of the resident's pants. Resident #1 was very unsteady and shaky. No gait belt was used during the
transfer. CNA D provided incontinence care and then assisted the resident onto the side of the bed.
Resident #1 attempted to hold the arm of the wheelchair while CNA D held her under her arm and once
again grabbed the back of her pants to try and assist her to a standing position. Resident #1 was not able
to completely stand, and CNA D struggled to get her from the bed to the wheelchair. CNA D then had the
resident sit back down on the side of the bed and she placed both of her arms around the resident and
lifted her from the bed to the wheelchair. In an interview with CNA D on 01/06/26 at 10:10 a.m. she stated
they were not supposed to lift residents under their arms because it could cause injury to their shoulders.

01/06/26 at 12:15 p.m. she stated the facility does annual gait belt training with the staff and nursing does
the training at the employee's time of hire. She stated Resident #1 was currently on therapy services due to
a recent fall and her decline in transfers and standing ability. She stated she required extensive assistance
with transfers. She stated it was not acceptable to lift someone under their arm pits due to the potential for
injury not only to the resident but also to the caregiver. She stated it increased the risk of falls, fractures and
nerve damage. In an interview with the DON on 01/06/26 at 02:00 p.m. she stated she had started with the
facility about 3 weeks ago and was still learning the facility's procedures but stated no one should be lifting
a resident under their arms or by their clothing. She stated she would expect staff to use a gait belt when
transferring a resident. She stated the risk of staff not following the correct procedure for transfers were
injury to a resident's shoulders and arm and or the risk of the resident falling. She stated she would be
doing one on one training with the CNA and also begin Inservice with all of the staff to ensure staff were
providing correct transfer techniques. Record review of CNA D's staff education/ orientation checklist
reflected she had been skills checked for gait belt transfers on 06/25/25 and had met the criteria for proper
technique. Record review of the facility's policy, ADL Care-Transfer Techniques dated June 2023, reflected,

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
Based on observations, record reviews and interviews, the facility failed to provide a safe, clean,
comfortable, and homelike environment for residents and staff for 1 (Door #1) of 7 entry doors reviewed for
environment. The facility failed to safely monitor individuals who gained access to the facility using the
posted security code next to Door #1. This failure could affect the safety of all the residents and staff at the
facility and diminish residents' quality of life.The findings include: During an observation of the facility's Door
#1 on 1/6/26 at 8:35am surveyor saw a 4-digit code posted next to the door by the keypad. Surveyor
entered the four-digit code that was posted, the door unlocked, and Surveyor entered the facility. Upon
entry there was no one at the front desk and no one in the two halls that led to the nurses' stations to assist
Surveyor. There was no alarm that notified staff that Surveyor had entered the building. Surveyor waited for
approximately 7-10 minutes, then went to the 2nd office door behind the front desk to notify a staff member
that the surveyors had entered the building. During an telephone interview with the Anonymous Staff
Member on 1/9/25 at 2:26pm revealed she was very concerned about the safety of the residents,
particularly after 4pm when there were no staff by Door #1. The Anonymous Staff Member stated she had
had multiple complaints from relatives of the residents and stated one lady had entered the facility late and
was concerned about the safety of her loved one because the code was visible to the public and could
open Door #1 after hours, particularly closer to midnight. She stated the concern was brought to the
Administrator's attention, but he had not provided a response to her complaint. She stated the risk to the
residents of Door #1 not being monitored while the code to enter was posted, was someone could have
come into the facility with a gun to harm staff or residents and the staff would not know the person was in
the building. During an interview with the Social Worker on 1/6/26 at 3:30pm revealed over the summer she
had a resident that complained about the safety of the building, related to unknown people in the hall at
night talking. The Social Worker stated they talked to staff about allowing personal visitors to the building.
She stated there were no staff in the evenings and at night at the front desk and it was the nurses'
responsibility to monitor Door 1. The facility had a receptionist by Door #1 during the day throughout the
week and weekend. The social worker stated they could stand at the nurses' stations and look down the
hall to see if someone was coming down the halls. During an interview with the Director of Maintenance on
1/6/26 at 3:35pm revealed doors at the facility could not have been opened unless the individuals had a
code to open the doors. He stated all the doors at the facility, including Door #1, had an alarm and the
alarm would sound if someone attempted to enter the doors without the access code. He stated Door #1
had the code posted on the inside and outside so that staff and other individuals could enter the building
without issues. He stated he was unsure how the facility monitored individuals who entered the building
through Door #1 when the staff was not close to it. He stated once a person entered the code, they gained
access to the building and there was no alarm or bell to notify the staff in the building that someone had
entered the building. He stated the code had been posted 24 hours a day for several months. He could not
recall the exact number of months the code was posted. He stated he was instructed to post the code by
Door #1 because family members would come to the building and would jerk the door open causing the
alarm to sound and would break the door. He was unwilling to state the risks to the residents of having the
code posted outside without monitoring the door and stated, you need to talk to the Administrator. During
an interview with LVN B on 1/6/26 at 4:15pm revealed it was the responsibility of all floor staff to keep an
eye on who entered the building through Door #1 in the evenings. He stated he only knew when someone
entered through Door #1 if they came to the nurse's station because he

was usually providing care to patients. LVN B stated it would have been a safety concern that anyone could
enter the building through Door #1 using the posted code, but it was not his decision to make. He stated he
would not have his house unlocked at night and if he was the owner of the facility, he would have Door #1
locked or have a staff member at the front desk. He stated he always locked all his doors because anything
can happen, however it was out of his pay grade to decide if the code was posted outside after hours and at
night. He stated he would prefer visitors after hours to call the phone number to be allowed to enter the
building. During an interview with LVN C on 1/6/26 at 4:35pm revealed no one monitored Door #1 after
hours, as she usually worked until 10pm and there was no staff at Door #1. LVN C stated she knew the
code was posted to enter Door #1 and anyone could come in, which was a risk for her and the residents.
She personally had not felt safe because she did not know when someone came into the building during
her shift. She stated she locked her door at her home at night to not allow anyone to come in and would
expect the same from the facility. During an interview with ADON A on 1/7/26 at 8:33am revealed there was
staff by Door #1 from about 8am to 3:30pm daily including the weekends. ADON A stated when there were
no staff in front, by Door #1, and therefore it was everyone's responsibility to monitor Door #1. She stated
although staff were busy in the units she was hopeful staff were walking around to ensure there were no
random people in the building. ADON A believed it was a safety concern, no one was monitoring Door #1
after hours because bad things could happen. ADON A stated the safety concern crossed her mind when
there was an irate spouse who was threatening staff because their loved one passed away. ADON A stated
she believed the code had been posted for at least 6 months. During an interview with the Administrator on
1/7/26/ at 10:40am it was revealed the code to enter Door #1 had been posted for several months. The
code was posted due to family members and staff forgetting the code. The Administrator stated he had not
had any incidents in which having the code posted put people's lives in danger. He stated, In the world we
live in anything is a safety concerns and we cannot prevent everything and therefore did not believe it was a
true safety concern to the residents. He stated he did not believe there was risk of having the code posted
to enter the building without monitoring individuals entering the building. During record review of the
facility's policy Resident Rights revised August 14, 2022, reflected Policy: The staff will abide by and protect
resident rights in accordance with state and federal guidelines. Procedure: Staff will abide by resident rights
as outlined within CMS state Operations Manual Appendix PP-Guidance to Surveyors for Long Term Care
Facilities. Requested physical environment policy from the Administrator and was provided the Resident
Rights policy.
