F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. 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 ensure assessments accurately reflected the resident's status for 1 of 7 Residents (Resident #9) whose MDS records were reviewed for accuracy. Residents Affected - Few Resident #14's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] incorrectly documented the resident was rarely/never understood and did not complete a BIMS (brief interview for mental status). This failure could place residents at risk for inadequate care due to inaccurate assessments. The findings included: Record review of Resident #14's face sheet, dated 10/13/2023 revealed Resident #14 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included: anemia (a lack of red blood cells or dysfunctional red blood cells in the body. This leads to reduced oxygen flow to the body's organs), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs), essential (primary) hypertension (high blood pressure), type 2 diabetes mellitus with unspecified complications (A chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar), unspecified glaucoma (the nerve connecting the eye to the brain is damaged, usually due to high eye pressure), allergic rhinitis (runny nose) , gastroesophageal reflux disease without esophagitis (heart burn), unspecified systolic (congestive) heart failure, unspecified atrial fibrillation (An irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow), age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, left femur, initial encounter for fracture (broken bone due to brittle bones), Constipation, depression, hyperlipidemia (high lipids). Record review of Resident #14's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed under section for cognitive patterns the BIMS should not be conducted due to Resident #14 rarely/never understood and to skip the BIMS assessment. During an interview on 10/12/23 at 12:56 p.m. Resident #14 was in her room, in bed, watching TV, and eating lunch. The Resident asked this surveyor to return after she completed her meal to answer questions. The Resident #14 spoke clearly, and this surveyor was able to understand everything she said. During an observation on 10/13/23 at 11:57 a.m. Resident #14 was administered an insulin injection by LVN A. The Resident stated her insulin she received that morning was administered in her right arm. LVN A confirmed this statement and asked where the Resident would like the current injection. The resident was able to recall the site of the morning insulin administration correctly. During an interview on 10/13/23 at 2:08 p.m. MDS D stated he started to help or complete MDS assessments for the facility in 08/2023. MDS D stated Resident #14 was scheduled to have her next MDS completed on 10/18/23. MDS D stated he would come in person and interview the resident at that time. MDS D stated he reviewed the MDS from 07/18/23 and he was unsure of why they marked the resident as not understood because the resident was interview able. MDS D stated the previous person responsible was a company that worked remotely, and they most likely completed the MDS outside the facility, and never attempted to interview or assess the resident in person. MDS D stated the quarterly MDS was not an accurate reflection of the resident.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who is incontinent of bladder receives appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections and to restore continence to the extent possible for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #45) reviewed for incontinence/perineal care, in that: CNA E did not provide complete catheter care to Resident #45. This deficient practice could place residents at-risk for infection and skin break down due to improper care practices. The findings were: Record review of Resident #45's face sheet, dated 10/13/23 revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included urinary tract infection (an infection in any part of the urinary system, the kidneys, bladder, or urethra), acute kidney failure (a condition in which the kidneys suddenly can't filter waste from the blood), dependence on renal dialysis (a type of treatment that helps your body remove extra fluid and waste products from your blood when the kidneys are not able to), and diabetes mellitus (a chronic, long-lasting health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy). Record review of Resident #45's most recent quarterly MDS assessment, dated 8/31/23 revealed the intact cognition for daily decision-making skills and had an indwelling catheter (A catheter which is inserted into the bladder, via the urethra and remains in situ to drain urine). Record review of Resident #45's comprehensive care plan, review date 02/07/23 revealed the resident had indwelling catheter with interventions that included: Position catheter bag and tubing below the level of the bladder and away from entrance room door, Monitor/record/report to Medical Doctor for signs and symptoms of UTI: pain, burning, blood tinged urine, cloudiness, no output, deepening of urine color, increased pulse, increased temp, Urinary frequency, foul smelling urine, fever, chills, altered mental status, change in behavior, and change in eating patterns. Observation on 10/12/23 at 10:35 a.m., CNA B was present to assist with catheter care and stood on the side of the resident's bed. CNA E performed catheter care on Resident # 45. CNA E used a basin of soapy water, a clean wipe, and cleansed halfway down the catheter tube (about 4-6 inches past where the catheter exited the resident). CNA E repeated the steps cleaning halfway down the catheter tube up to the catheter bag with plain water and a wipe. CNA never cleaned the tube from the meatus (opening of the female urethra to the outside) and up to about 4-6 inches. CNA E never provided peri care during the observation. CNA E stated she was done with the catheter care and would remove the pad from under the resident and place a new clean brief on the resident. This surveyor then asked CNA E to open the labia majora (the larger outer folds of the vulva [vulva-the global term that describes all the structures that make the female external genitalia]) folds on the resident to reveal how long/far the catheter tube was and observed the tube that was outside the resident which was not cleaned. CNA E put on new clean gloves and opened the labia majora folds and revealed about 4 inches of the catheter tube which had a white residue on it. CNA E then gripped the catheter tube from the meatus and wrapped 4 finger around the tube and stated she measures about 4 inches from the resident (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 745040 If continuation sheet Page 6 of 11 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 745040 B.

F 0690 with her hands and then cleaned the catheter tube after the 4 inch area. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 10/13/23 at 1:58 p.m. CNA B stated he was the supervisor for the nurse aides. CNA B stated staff should clean the catheter tube 4 inches away from where it exits the resident, so they do not go inside the resident. CNA B then stated the whole catheter tube that was outside the resident's body should be cleaned. CNA B peri care was normally done prior to catheter care but Resident #45 had just come from a shower. CNA B stated staff should clean the whole catheter tube, so the resident does not get a UTI. CNA B stated to his knowledge the resident had not had issues with UTIs. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 10/13/23 at 2:09 p.m. CNA E stated she learned in school to hold the tube 3-4 inches away from where it exits the resident and then start cleaning. CNA E stated she cannot clean inside the resident and only the nurses can touch the first 3-4 inches of where the catheter exits the residents body. CNA E stated she did not complete peri care on Resident #45 because she had just showered the resident. CNA stated the white residue on the catheter tube and in the folds of the vulva was cream a nurse had applied to the resident after her shower and before catheter care. CNA E stated the 3-4 inches of tube she did not clean were outside the resident and the resident could get an infection if the whole catheter outside the resident was not cleaned. During an interview on 10/13/23 at 2:25 p.m. The Program Director RN stated staff should clean the entire catheter tube outside the resident's body and infection can happen if staff did not clean the entire tube.

This deficient practice could place residents who receive hospice services at-risk of receiving inadequate end-of-life care due to a lack of documentation, coordination of care and communication of resident needs. The findings were: 1. Record review of Resident #12's face sheet, dated 10/13/2023, revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including: acute kidney failure, essential (primary) hypertension, and unspecified dementia. Further review revealed, Advanced Directive: Full Code. Record review of Resident #12's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 01 which indicated severe cognitive deficit.
