This survey cited 9 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure that the resident has the right to be informed of, and participate in, his or her treatment, including the right to be informed in advance of the risks and benefits of proposed care, of treatment and treatment alternatives or treatment options and to choose the alternative or option he or she prefers for 1 (Residents #35) of 5 residents reviewed for resident rights. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to obtain an Antipsychotic or Neuroleptic Medication Treatment informed consent (form 3713 Medication Consent Form) for the use of Risperdal (an antipsychotic medication used for major depressive disorder) for Resident #35. The failure could place residents at risk of receiving medications without prior consent and without the option to choose alternative treatment or decline based on awareness of risk and benefits of the medications. Findings included: Record review of the admission record reflected Resident #35 was an [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She had diagnoses of unspecified dementia with psychotic feature (memory problems with delusions), lack of coordination, unsteadiness on feet, and major depressive disorder. Record review of Resident #35's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected she had a BIMS score of 3 indicating she had severe cognitive impairment. The MDS reflected Resident #35 received an antipsychotic medication daily. Record review of Resident #35's care plan dated 08/31/2023 reflected she had delusional disorder and used antipsychotic medication. Interventions included Administer medications as ordered. Observe/document for side effects, Monitor target behavior/symptoms and document. Record review of Resident #35's Physicians Order Summary Report for the month of May 2025 reflected an order for Risperdal 0.5mg 1 tablet by mouth one time daily for major depressive disorder. Record review of Resident #35's Medication Administration Record for May 2025 reflected she received Risperdal 0.5mg 1 tablet by mouth one time daily. Record review of a Pharmacy Consultant Report dated 12/13/24 reflected Resident #35's medications had been reviewed by the pharmacist and instructions were given to the DON to Ensure 3713 form (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.

F 0552 (Medication Consent Form) for Risperdal has resident or representative's signature . Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm In an interview on 05/21/25 at 11:14 LVN F stated she was aware of medication consents were required for antipsychotic medications. She stated the ADON or DON completed the forms and ensures it had a signature. She stated the nurses had been educated in the past related to obtaining medication consent forms for antipsychotic medications by the ADON and DON. She stated negative effects related to not having an informed consent could be adverse reactions to medications. Residents Affected - Few In an interview on 05/21/2025 at 12:09 pm the Interim DON stated she expected informed consents to be signed and filled out appropriately prior to administration of antipsychotic medications. She stated the resident, family, or responsible party had to agree to administration of antipsychotic medications. The nurse practitioner is good about completing the forms, then she leaves the forms for the responsible party to sign at the nurses' station. The DON stated the nurses are responsible for reaching out to the family/responsible party and obtaining a signature at that time. She stated she was not sure why the pharmacy recommendation was not completed in December 2024 to obtain a family/responsible party signature on the informed consent. She stated she was not at the facility at that time. The DON stated negative effects could be that the resident may receive a medication that the resident or responsible party would not want, a lack of communication or information related to use and side effects received by the responsible party. Record review of facility policy dated July 2016 titled Medication Utilization and Prescribing-Clinical Protocol reflected: 1. When a medication is prescribed in response to an identified problem, condition, or risk, the physician and staff will identify the indications (condition or problem for which it is being given, or what the medication is supposed to do or prevent), considering the resident's age, conditions, risks, health status, and existing medication regimen. a. Symptoms should be characterized in sufficient detail (onset, duration, frequency, intensity, location, etc.) to help identify whether a problem exists or whether a symptom is just a variation of normal. b. A symptom (confusion, pain, etc.) may have diverse causes, so it is usually relevant to try to identify likely causes and pertinent non-pharmacologic interventions. c. A diagnosis by itself may not be sufficient justification for prescribing a medication. The existence of a condition or risk does not necessarily require a treatment and the treatment may be something besides, or in addition to, medication. The physician and staff will review the rationale for existing medications that lack a clear indication or are being used intermittently on a PRN (as needed) basis. 3.

F 0552 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm The physician and staff will identify situations in which a resident is taking medications associated with potentially significant medication-related problems such as allergies, drug-drug interactions, drug-food interactions, and adverse drug reactions. 4. Residents Affected - Few The physician and staff will identify significant risk factors that may affect medication effectiveness and medication-related problems; for example, someone with a high risk for falling who takes medications associated with an increased risk for falling, someone with impaired nutrition who is taking medications that affect appetite, or someone who cannot express thirst or is unable to drink without assistance who is taking diuretics and/or ACE inhibitors. a. The consultant pharmacist can help by reviewing facility medication usage patterns and trends and by intensifying medication reviews of individuals taking medications that present higher risks. Treatment/Management 1. The physician and staff will adjust existing medications based on their efficacy and the continued presence of relevant conditions and risks. 2. The physician will provide and/or document a rationale when the dose, duration, or frequency of a prescribed medication is greater than commonly accepted practice or the manufacturer's recommendations or the medication is considered high-risk compared to other available, relevant alternatives. 3. The consultant pharmacist will advise the physician and staff about options to address medication-related issues such as medication side effects, food-drug interactions, effects of medication combinations, and drug-disease interactions. The staff and physician will identify and address unexpected, unintended, undesirable or excessive responses to a medication based on the severity of underlying conditions, the seriousness of any adverse drug reactions, risks of worsening of medical conditions, and other factors. a. This may include changing doses, changing times of administration, switching to another medication, or stopping one or more medications. b. For example, a necessary medication that is causing daytime sedation could instead be administered in the evening so that peak side effects occur during sleep. 5.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure all residents had the right to formulate an advance directive for 1 of 5 residents (Residents #64) reviewed for advanced directives, in that: Resident #64's OOH-DNR (Out of Hospital-Do Not Resuscitate) form was not available in her medical records and failed to ensure they had a completed OOH-DNR prior to obtaining a Physician's order for DNR for Resident #64. This failure could place residents at risk for not having their end of life wishes honored. Findings included: Record review of the admission record reflected Resident #64 was a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She had diagnoses of pneumonia, age related cognitive decline, hyperlipidemia (elevated cholesterol), and acute respiratory failure. Record review of Resident #64's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected she had a BIMS score of 8 indicating she was cognitively impaired. Record review of Resident #64's care plan dated [DATE] reflected she had a code status of Full Code indicating to perform CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). Interventions included If the Resident arrests CPR will be performed, 911 emergency medical services called, medical doctor and responsible party informed Staff will honor and respect Resident wish to be Full Code. Record review of Resident #64's Physician's Order Summary Report for the month of [DATE] reflected an order for DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) dated [DATE]. Record review of Resident #64's facility advanced directives reflected there was no signed Out of Hospital-Do Not Resuscitate Form. In an interview on [DATE] at 10:19 am Resident #64's Responsible Party stated she had not filled out the OOH-DNR paperwork. She stated the facility had given the form to her, but she had not signed it, or returned it to the facility . She stated it is Resident #64's wishes to be DNR. In an interview on [DATE] at 11:14 am LVN F stated the code status was documented on the face sheet and admission orders. She stated if a resident was sent to the hospital a copy of the OOH-DNR must go with them. She stated had been trained on where to find the code status on the face sheet and in orders through in-services given by the ADON or DON. She stated if the code status (DNR or CPR) was incorrect the resident may get resuscitated against their wishes either way. In an interview on [DATE] at 11:37 am the Concierge / Case Manager stated the facility did not currently have an official social worker. She stated yes, she could assist residents if they chose to change their code status. She stated she had been trained on how to fill out a DNR and educate families and residents on the paperwork required. She stated if a resident were their own RP she would assist the resident with the forms, if the resident had a Responsible Party, she would reach out to them prior to moving forward with the DNR process.

She stated Resident #64 went and told the nurses she was a DNR. She stated Resident #64, and her Responsible Party were instructed that the signed DNR form must be on file in the medical record prior to changing code status. The Concierge / Case Manager stated negative effects for having an inaccurate code order would be not honoring the residents wishes and CPR would be performed. Residents Affected - Few In an interview on [DATE] at 12:09 pm the Interim DON stated it was her expectations the facility has the signed OOH-DNR on file prior to changing code status orders from CPR to DNR. She stated if the form was not completed, we must put CPR on the medical record and preform CPR. She stated a resident shows interest in becoming a DNR we should provide the correct forms and help their responsible party fill it out. She stated she was not sure if the staff had been trained on OOH-DNR or not. She stated she had only been working with the facility 1 month. The Interim DON stated negative effects for not having an accurate OOH-DNR on file could be the residents wishes would not be met. Record review of facility undated policy titled Advance Directives' Step by Step Guidance reflected: During initial assessment, Social Services Director will verify the Resident's Advance Directive requests, Advance Directive Documents if provided, and ensure the medical record is flagged accordingly as initial page, a Red Sheet for DNR or a [NAME] Sheet for Full Code. If the Resident or RP has provided a copy of a Living Will or Directive to Physician which specifies DNR, Social Services Director will assist with the completion of an OOH-DNR. On completion of the OOH-DNR, Social Services Director will ensure that the original Physician's order for DNR is the first item seen and the completed OOH-DNR is immediately behind the DNR order in the 'Advance Directives' section of the medical record.

F 0638 Assure that each resident’s assessment is updated at least once every 3 months. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to assess each resident quarterly (every 3 months) using the MDS form specified by the state and approved by CMS for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #7) reviewed for assessments. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure Residents #7's quarterly MDS assessment was completed within 3 months from the previous assessment. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving necessary care or receiving inappropriate care for their conditions. Findings: Record review of Resident #7's admission record reflected a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to included Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (elevated blood sugar), Morbid Obesity, and Asthma (difficulty breathing). Record review of Resident #7's electronic health record MDS tab reflected Resident #7 received a quarterly assessment on 01/09/2025 and had an open incomplete quarterly assessment dated [DATE]. In an interview on 05/21/25 at 11:15 am the MDSC stated she was previously just doing Medicare and Managed care MDS' but had to recently taken over for Medicaid as well. She stated her regional MDS nurse was completing the Medicaid MDS assessments for the facility. She stated she had been trained on MDS' at different jobs she had worked at. The MDSC stated she was aware of the MDS timing schedule. She stated a new MDS consultant was recently hired to review assessments and as they were reviewing, they found an assessment that had not been completed for Resident #7. She stated MDS did affect the payment system and negative effects could be that the facility would not be paid for the resident, we would not be within state and federal regulations. The resident could lose services. In an interview on 05/21/2025 at 12:09 pm the Interim DON stated her expectation is that the MDS was completed when they are due. The MDS coordinators training comes from the corporate MDS nurse, and I do know she has had training. The negative effects for not having current assessments completed on residents would be that staff would not know if the resident has had a decline in condition. The MDS drives the care plan and how it should be built for the resident's needs. Record review of facility policy dated September 2010 titled MDS Completion and Submission Timeframes reflected: Our facility will conduct and submit resident assessments in accordance with current federal and state submission timeframes. The Assessment Coordinator or designee shall be responsible for ensuring that resident assessments are submitted to CMS QIES Assessment Submission and Processing (ASAP) system in accordance with current federal and state guidelines. The following timeframes will be observed by this facility Quarterly (Non-Comprehensive) ARD of any previous OBRA assessment + 92 calendar days.

F 0645 PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that all Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) Level I screenings were completed accurately and that a PASARR Level II assessment was provided for 1 (Resident #68) of 2 residents reviewed who had a mental illness. Residents Affected - Few Resident #68's PASARR Level I did not identify a mental illness diagnosis that was present at admission. This failure had the potential to place all residents with a mental illness at risk of not receiving necessary assessments, care, and services to meet their needs. Findings included: Record review of Resident #68's face sheet dated 5/20/2025, revealed he was a 76- year- old admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Record review of Resident #68's electronic medical record showed that the PASARR level I was completed by the hospital on 3/27/2025 and did not document a mental illness. Record review of Resident #68's Care Plan dated 4/24/2025 reflected the following: [Resident #68] has PTSD, he will not have any complication related to PTSD, assess and recognize his level of anxiety, assess for presence of fear, and determine coping mechanisms for anxiety. Interview with the MDSC (MDS Coordinator) on 5/20/2025 at 2:30 PM, PASARR level I was requested for resident #68. Record review of Resident #68's PASARR Level I screening, received 5/20/2025 at 3:17PM reflected no to the question: Is there evidence or an indicator this is an individual that has a Mental Illness? The screening was signed by the MDSC and documented the admission date of 5/20/2025, which was the same day the screening was completed. Interview with the MDSC on 5/20/2025 at 3:40 PM, the surveyor informed the MDSC that the PASARR Level I screening received earlier indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE], and the screening was negative for mental illness. The MDSC immediately responded that the information was incorrect and explained that one screening was completed at 8:50 AM and another at 3:17p.m. The MDSC invited the surveyor to view her computer to verify that two screenings had been completed. The surveyor then asked the MDSC to provide a copy of the second PASARR screening. The MDSC agreed and stated she would obtain a copy. The surveyor asked the MDSC what differed between the two PASARR screenings. The MDSC stated that the second screening completed in the afternoon reflected the resident had a mental health diagnosis. When asked why the first screening did not include that information, the MDSC explained that the diagnosis had been discovered earlier that day after she reviewed the record more closely following surveyor's request for the PASARR. The MDSC was asked, What is the facility's process for identifying residents with a possible MD, ID or a related condition prior to admission to the facility? The MDSC stated, she would need to ask someone for help with the question, as she had only recently assumed the MDS role in April, 2025 (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676437 If continuation sheet Page 8 of 24 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 676437 B.

F 0645 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm after graduating and becoming a registered nurse. The MDSC was asked, How does the facility identify residents with newly evident or possible serious MD, ID or a related condition after admission to the facility? The MDSC stated, she would need to ask someone. The MDSC was asked, Who is responsible for making the referral to the appropriate state-designated authority when a resident is identified as having an evident or possible MD, ID or related condition? The MDSC stated, she the MDSC was responsible for the referral. Residents Affected - Few The MDSC was asked, If a resident is identified as having newly-evident or possible MD, ID or a related condition after admission, what is the facility's process for referring the resident to the appropriate state-designated authority? MDSC stated, the PL1 is entered in the Simple LTC system used by their facility. The MDSC was asked, why a referral was not made for Resident #68 who was identified as having a mental health diagnosis and the MDSC stated a referral was not made because the facility made a mistake. The MDSC was asked about the potential risk of harm if the resident was not referred to the appropriate authority. The MDSC responded that the resident might not receive necessary services and could experience a possible relapse. Interview with the Interim DON on 5/21/2025 at 12:40 PM, the surveyor asked the Interim DON was she aware of the facility's PASAAR policy, and she stated she would need to review it, explaining that she had only been at the facility for one month and was serving in a corporate capacity due to the vacancy of a permanent DON. When asked about her expectations regarding completion of the PASAAR Level I Screenings, she stated the nurses are expected to complete them correctly. The Interim DON was asked, What is the facility's process for identifying residents with a possible MD, ID or a related condition prior to admission to the facility? The Interim DON stated, The residents should come from the hospital with one completed, if they come from home the facility will complete it or we will have a doctor complete it. The Interim DON was asked, How does the facility identify residents with newly evident or possible serious MD, ID or a related condition after admission to the facility? The Interim DON stated, the IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) discussed the residents at the meetings when there were new developments. The Interim DON was asked, Who is responsible for making the referral to the appropriate state-designated authority when a resident is identified as having an evident or possible MD, ID or related condition? She responded, the MDS Coordinators. The Interim DON was asked, If a resident is identified as having newly-evident or possible MD, ID or a related condition after admission, what is the facility's process for referring the resident to the appropriate state-designated authority? She responded, the MDS Coordinator would complete the referral to the MHMR authority. The Interim DON was asked, about Resident #68's PASARR not being completed correctly, she stated she could not say why the PASARR was not completed correctly as resident was at the facility prior to her. The Interim DON was asked about the potential risk of harm if the resident was not referred to the appropriate authority. She stated that the care plan might not be properly followed, as the necessary services would not be included, resulting in the resident missing out on services that would be helpful for him. She furthered stated the resident's intention was to return to the community and if he qualified for services, those services would be helpful for resident's transition. Record review of the PASRR Clinical Policy reflected the PASRR will be completed for every resident prior to admission. It stated the MDS/PPS Nurse/DON or designee will follow DADS guide to complete the PASRR Level I Screening Form The policy reflected if a resident was identified to have a mental health diagnosis the resident was referred for Level II Screening.

F 0679 Provide activities to meet all resident's needs. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide, based on the comprehensive assessment and care plan and the preference of each resident, an ongoing program to support residents in their choice of activities designed to meet the interests of and support the physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for 2 of 5. (Residents #65 and Resident #67) reviewed for activities residents reviewed for activities. Residents Affected - Some A-The facility failed to ensure daily activities occurred on a regular basis for residents who were bed fast . B-The facility failed to ensure Room visits were conducted and met the needs of the residents. The facility's failure to provide an ongoing program to support residents in their choice of activities designed to meet the interests of and support the physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being could potentially place all residents at risk of decreased self-worth, boredom, poor quality of life, depression, behaviors and decreased cognitive function.
