The facility failed to ensure Resident #2's soiled personal clothing was taken to the laundry. 4. The facility failed to ensure Resident #3's soiled personal clothing was taken to the laundry. This failure could place residents at risk of odorous living conditions, embarrassment, and diminished feelings of self-worth. Findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #2's AR, dated 6/17/2024, reflected a [AGE] year-old -male, who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease with late onset (which was a progressive disease having had caused mild memory loss, ability to continue conversations, or the ability to respond to the environment,) and Chronic Respiratory Failure (which was a condition that impeded the body's ability to effectively exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.) Record review of Resident #2's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE] indicated the following: Section C, Cognitive Function: Resident #2 had a BIMS Score of 14. A BIMS Score of 14 indicated Resident #2 had no cognitive impairment. Section GG, Functional Abilities and Goals: Resident #2 required supervision or touching assistance for toileting hygiene, upper body dressing, and lower body dressing.

F 0550 always continent of bowel. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Record review of Resident #2's CP reflected a focus area, initiated on 4/12/2022 for ADL care, evidenced by the need for personal assistance. The goal, initiated on 4/12/2022, indicated Resident #2 would maintain ADLs. The intervention for nursing staff, initiated 2/5/2024, was for staff to assist with ADLs as needed. Residents Affected - Few Interview and observation on 6/17/2024 at 11:55 AM with Resident #2 revealed he had not had his laundry taken from the room for 8 days. He stated he had asked nursing staff members to take his clothes to the laundry, but it did not get done. Nursing staff would say they would do it later; and one staff said it was not their role but would tell the right person. He stated the dirty clothes, which would not get cleaned, made him angry and he felt neglected. Observation reflected his room had a strong odor of urine and body odors. His sheets had two brown stains at the foot of the bed. There was a medium sized white laundry basket overflowing with dirty clothing. Olfactory senses determined the clothing basket was the origin of the urine and body odors. The resident was fully dressed and appropriately groomed. 2. Record review of Resident #3's AR, dated 6/17/2024, reflected a [AGE] year-old-male, who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He was diagnosed with Heart failure (which occurred when the heart muscle did not pump blood as well as it should,) and the Need for Personal Care (which was a medical code which signified he needed assistance with personal care.) Record review of Resident #3's Discharge/Return Anticipated MDS , dated 6/8/2024, Section C., Cognitive Function: Indicated a staff assessment for Cognitive Patterns. Staff assessed Resident #3 with Memory: OK and Independent Decisions were: Consistent and Reasonable. Section GG, Functional Abilities and Goals: Indicated Resident #3 was independent for toileting hygiene, upper body dressing, and lower body dressing. Independent meant the resident completed the activity. Section H., Urinary and Bowel Continence: Indicated Resident #3 was occasionally incontinent of bladder; and always continent of bowel. Record review of Resident #3's CP reflected a focus area, initiated on 3/5/2024 for ADL care, evidenced by self-care deficit. The goal, initiated on 3/5/2024, indicated Resident #3 would maintain ADLs. The intervention for nursing staff, initiated 3/5/2024, was for staff to assist with ADLs as needed, due to fluctuation of self-ability. Observation on 6/17/2024 at 9:50 AM in Resident #3's room reflected odors of urine and body odors. Resident #3 was not in his room at the time of the observation. Interview and observation on 6/17/2024 at 12:20 PM with Resident #3 revealed he had not had his laundry taken to the laundry for a while now. He stated that he has asked nursing staff to get it to the laundry but was told it was not their job. He said he would not let his grandkids come to see him at the facility because of the way the room stunk. He did not want to subject his grandkids to the smell. He stated he felt sad, lonely, neglected, and not important. Observation reflected a medium sized basket of dirty clothes, filled to the top, by the door. The room had strong odors of urine and body odors. Olfactory senses determined the clothing basket was the origin of the urine and body odors. The resident was fully dressed and appropriately groomed.

F 0550 laundry service staff returned all clean items to the floor, which included resident's clean clothing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Interview on 6/17/2024 at 2:50 PM with the HKS revealed it was the job of the CNA to collect dirty clothing from the resident's rooms and bring them to the laundry. Residents Affected - Few Interview on 6/17/2024 at 3:00 PM with LVN E revealed it was the CNAs responsibility to take dirty linens and dirty laundry from the resident's room to the laundry. A nurse could have taken it if the need had arrived, but it was the CNA's responsibility. The laundry was supposed to be removed every shift, if it started to pile up, or smell foul. LVN E stated baskets of dirty clothing, which smelled like urine or feces, risked causing nose irritation and nausea. As well, residents could become angry and family members might not think their loved ones were being taken care of. Interview on 6/17/2024 at 4:50 PM with CNA F revealed residents have dirty laundry baskets in their rooms. She did not know if it was the CNAs responsibility to collect dirty lines and clothes from residents' rooms and take it to the laundry. She thought laundry personnel collected the dirty linens and clothing. She stated she learned the practice through word of mouth. Interview on 6/17/2024 at 4:55 PM with CMA G revealed she had been a CNA at the facility at one time. She stated it was the responsibility of the CNA assigned to the resident to collect, and transport, dirty clothing from the resident's room to the laundry. Interview and record review on 6/17/2024 at 5:15 PM with the SC revealed CNA staff were assigned linen, which included resident's dirty clothing, each shift. Record review reflected a copy of the staffing schedule for 6/17/2024. The staffing schedule was an excel spreadsheet with a column for the staff member and a column for notes (explained the duty.) Each hallway had an assigned CNA staff member responsible for linens. Interview on 6/17/2024 at 6:51 PM with the DON revealed CNAs were responsible to take a resident's dirty clothing from their room to the laundry. Dirty clothes removal was supposed to be done daily but the clothes were supposed to be taken to the laundry if a resident asked, if the dirty clothes piled up in the basket, or if the clothes started to smell. Residents exposed to foul smelling laundry left in their rooms risked feelings of dissatisfaction or embarrassment. The strong pungent odor of urine, which smelled mostly like ammonia, could cause irritation of the nose, and even cause a resident to sneeze. Interview on 6/17/2024 at 7:20 PM with the ADM revealed she expected her staff to follow the schedule and take resident's dirty clothes to the laundry at the end of each shift. The ADM wanted CNA staff to make sure the resident had a homelike environment. Safeguards in place to deter dirty laundry build up were daily administration and management rounds to make observations of the rooms and make corrections as needed. Dirty clothing baskets were not something she had observed, and she felt the incident was isolated. There was no failure. Record review of staffing schedule for 6/17/2024 reflected the practice that a CNA was assigned linen, which included resident's dirty clothing, daily. Record review of the facility's ADL, Services To Carry Out Policy, dated 7/2020, reflected a resident were given the appropriate treatment and services to attain, or maintain, the highest practicable physical, mental, psychosocial well-being of each resident in accordance with a written plan of (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676421 If continuation sheet Page 3 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 676421 B.
