Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 47679

Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of six sampled residents' (Resident 154) Advance Directive (a legal document indicating resident preference on end-of-life treatment decisions) Acknowledgement form (form that indicates whether an individual has an Advance Directive or if an Advance Directive would like to be formulated) was accurately completed.

This deficient practice resulted in an inaccurate and incomplete Advance Directive Acknowledgement and had the potential to result in confusion whether Resident 154 had an Advance Directive and if not, if Resident 154 wanted to formulate one. This deficient practice placed Resident 154 at risk of not receiving necessary care based on Resident 154's wishes.

Findings:

During a review of Resident 154's Admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 154 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness that can affect thoughts, mood, and behavior).

During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/23/2025 at 9:44 a.m., with the Social Services Director (SSD), Resident 154's Advance Directive Acknowledgement, dated 9/25/2024, was reviewed. The SSD stated Resident 154's Acknowledgement form did not indicate whether Resident 154 would like to or had declined to formulate an Advance Directive. The SSD stated the social services department was responsible for educating and to review with the residents regarding Advance Directives to allow them to express their medical care wishes. The SSD stated because the Acknowledgement form was blank, the form indicated Resident 154 was not given the opportunity to go over it and formulate an Advance Directive, if he wanted to.

The SSD stated Resident 154 had the right to decide whether he wanted to formulate an Advance Directive and to indicate preferences for end-of-life treatment decisions.

Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's public guardian (PG- an appointed individual that is responsible for the care of individuals who are no longer able to make decisions or care for themselves) or responsible party (RP), and physician were notified when two of nine sampled residents exhibited a change of condition (Residents 114, and 104) by failing to:

1. Ensure Resident 114's PG or RP were notified when the resident exhibited a change of condition and was transported to the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH).

This deficient practice resulted in the delay of proper verification of Resident 114's appointed RP or PG, which led to a lack of RP or PG notification when Resident 114 exhibited a change of condition and was sent to the GACH

2. Ensure Resident 104's physician was notified when Resident 104 was non-compliant with wearing the [NAME] cardiac monitor (a device that continuous monitors heart rate) and when the resident's heart rate was outside parameters, as indicated by the physician orders.

This deficient practice had the potential to result in an uncontrolled heart rate which could lead to complications such as dizziness, fatigue, fainting, cardiac arrest (when heart stops beating) and death Resident 104.

Findings:

1. During a review of Resident 114's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated Resident 114 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses that included dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), cerebral infarction (stroke, loss of blood flow to a part of

the brain), aphasia (a disorder that makes it difficult to speak), and hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) affecting the right dominant side.

During a review of Resident 114's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated 3/28/2025,

The SSD stated the information on the Admission Record was incorrect and not updated. The SSD stated a resident would need an appointed public guardian if a resident did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions and did not have family members to aid the resident with making medical and financial decisions. The SSD stated Resident 114 required a public guardian to be informed and make decisions on her behalf. The SSD stated he did not begin the process to apply for a public guardian for Resident 114 (since 1/2025) because he did not know Resident 114 was deemed unable to make medical decisions and

the facility did not update the Admission Record. The SSD stated the facility lacked a system to ensure the information on the Admission Record matched the information on the residents' H&P documentation. The SSD stated he would have applied for public guardianship for Resident 114 if Resident 114's Admission

Record had been updated, and he was made aware Resident 114's H&P indicated Resident 114 lacked the capacity to make medical decisions. The SSD stated this resulted in a lack of proper notification of Resident 114's responsible party when she was transferred to the GACH (on 1/14/2025). The SSD stated all residents had the right to a responsible party or a public guardian to be notified of medical changes of condition.

The Change of Condition Note indicated Resident 114 was sent to the GACH due to bleeding gums and no attempt was made to notify Resident 114's RP, family member or PG of the event. MDSN 2 stated he authored the note and did not recall trying to call an RP for Resident 114 because Resident 114's Admission Record indicated Resident 114 was self-responsible. MDSN 2 stated he should have attempted to call the listed emergency contacts or made efforts to verify Resident 114's RP. MDSN 2 stated it was important to ensure RPs, family members, or PGs were informed of any changes of condition in their loved ones, especially if the resident is transferred out to the GACH because it was their right to be informed.

F 0657 Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 47679

Residents Affected - Some Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to review and revise the care plan for three of 18 sampled residents (Residents 134, 114, and 104), by failing to:

1. Revise Resident 134's care plan (a document that helps nurses and other team care members organize aspects of resident care) and interventions (actions a nurse takes to implement a care plan, intend to improve the resident's comfort and health) after Resident 134 had an unwitnessed fall on 12/18/2024.

This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 134 sustaining a major injury after another fall.

2. Ensure the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) meeting was held quarterly and after Resident 114 was sent to the GACH (General Acute Hospital (GACH)) due to bleeding gums.

This deficient practice resulted in a year-long delay in the revision, re-evaluation and implementation of Resident 114's care plans without the input from members of the IDT and Resident 114's responsible party or public guardian.

3. Revise Resident 104's care plan for cardiac monitoring after Resident 104 had a [NAME] cardiac monitor (a device that continuous monitors heart rate) in place.

This deficient practice placed Resident 104 at risk for uncontrolled heart rate which could lead to complications such as dizziness, fatigue, fainting, cardiac arrest (when heart stops beating) and death.

Findings:

1. During a review of Resident 134's Admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 134 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses that included depression (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), and bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs).

During a review of Resident 134's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/17/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 134 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions.

During a review of Resident 134's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated 12/18/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 134's cognition (process of thinking) was intact. The MDS indicated Resident 134 required supervision with oral hygiene, toileting, bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 134 had a fall and sustained a minor injury (skin tear, abrasion, superficial bruises).

The SSD stated Resident 114's latest IDT note, dated 1/13/2024, indicated the next IDT meeting should have been held on 3/2024. There were no IDT Meeting Notes dated after 1/13/2024. The Change of Condition Note, dated 1/14/2025, indicated Resident 114 was sent to the GACH due to bleeding gums. There were no IDT Meeting Notes held

on or after 1/14/2025. The SSD stated an IDT should have been held for Resident 114 every three months and after Resident 114 exhibited a change of condition on 1/14/2025. The SSD stated the lack of IDT meetings had the potential to lead to inappropriate care and missed opportunities to revise Resident 114's care plans. The SSD stated the lack of IDTs also did not allow Resident 114's RP or PG to be made aware of changes or participate in care planning for Resident 114.

During an interview on 4/24/2025 at 12 :14 p.m., with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated he was aware of the incident that occurred with Resident 8. The DSD stated charge nurses were informed the day of the incident that they were responsible for communicating with the CNAs regarding the residents' care. The DSD stated it was CNA 9's first day off of orientation. The DSD stated hand-off report was not a part of the CNAs' orientation. The DSD stated a CNA 9 should have received a hand-off report so

he would know what was going on with his assigned residents. The DSD also stated he had previously brought up to the charge nurses the importance of giving a hand-off report to registry (staff who work on an as-needed basis) and newly hired staff. The DSD stated better communication between the charge nurses CNAs could have prevented this from happening to Resident 8.

During an interview on 4/24/2025 at 2:39 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated hand off or shift report has been a problem in the facility for the past year. The DON stated there is an extra hour in between shifts where the CNA from the previous shift should have given a shift report to the oncoming shift.

During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Rounds Shift Report, updated January 2025, the P&P indicated, It is the policy of this facility to use round shift reporting to promote successful transfer of information between nursing staff at shift change in an effort to prevent adverse events, medication errors and medical mishaps. The P&P indicated all staff would be in-serviced on the use of the rounds shift report prior to implementation as well as upon hire and as needed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 47858

Residents Affected - Some Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide services to maintain mobility (ability to move) for four out of 21 sampled residents (Residents 21, 28, 115, and 114) who had limited range of motion [(ROM) full movement potential of a joint (where two bones meet)] and mobility by failing to:

a. Ensure the recommendations noted in the Joint Mobility assessment dated [DATE REDACTED], for Restorative Nursing Aide (RNA) services, were provided to Resident 114.

b. Develop and implement a care plan to address Resident 114's risk for activities of daily living decline and diagnosis of a stroke affecting the right side of her body.

c. Ensure Resident 115 and Resident 28 were ordered RNA services.

d. Ensure Resident 21's RNA services were resumed after the resident's readmission to the facility.

These failures had the potential to result in joint mobility limitations for Residents 21, 28, 115, and 114. Cross reference

The SSD stated based on the H&Ps, Resident 41 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. The SSD stated Resident 41 did not have a family member as his responsible party nor an appointed conservator. The SSD stated he was unsure who was making medical decisions for Resident 41, however, Resident 41's Face Sheet indicated he was self-responsible so he would assume Resident 41 was making uninformed decisions for himself. The SSD stated Resident 41 was on his list of residents to refer for probate conservatorship, but the application was not completed nor submitted. The SSD stated Resident 41's referral should have been completed and submitted when Resident 41's physician deemed him unable to understand and make decisions to begin the process of obtaining a conservator. The SSD stated initiating

the process would ensure a conservator was appointed to Resident 41 to support him and make informed medical decisions for him. The SSD stated Resident 41 was at risk of receiving treatments from the physician that Resident 41 would not be able to make an informed decision on receiving.

During an interview on 4/23/2025 at 2:53 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident 41 was unable to make decisions for himself due to his cognition. The DON stated Resident 41 should not be self-responsible and should have an appointed person to make medical decisions for him, to decide whether

a treatment or medication were appropriate, and to decline if needed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or The H&P indicated Resident 114 lacked the capacity to understand and make decisions. The Change of potential for actual harm Condition Note indicated Resident 114 was self-responsible and no other responsible parties or emergency contacts were notified of 114's transfer to the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH). Resident 114's Residents Affected - Few Admission Record indicated Resident 114 was self-responsible and had three emergency contacts listed with phone numbers that were no longer in service. The SSD stated the information on the Admission

Record was incorrect and not updated. The SSD stated a resident would need an appointed public guardian if a resident did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions and did not have family members to aid the resident with making medical and financial decisions. The SSD stated Resident 114 required a public guardian to be informed and make decisions on her behalf. The SSD stated he did not begin the process to apply for a public guardian for Resident 114 (since 1/2025) because he did not know Resident 114 was deemed unable to make medical decisions and the facility did not update the Admission Record. The SSD stated the facility lacked a system to ensure the information on the Admission Record matched the information on the residents' H&P documentation. The SSD stated he would have applied for public guardianship for Resident 114 if Resident 114's Admission Record had been updated and he was made aware Resident 114's H&P indicated Resident 114 lacked the capacity to make medical decisions. The SSD stated this resulted in a lack of proper notification of Resident 114's responsible party when she was transferred to the GACH (on 1/14/2025) and had the potential to result incorrectly completed psychotropic medication (medications are drugs that affect the mind, emotions, and behavior) consent forms, and improper notification of changes for Resident 114 since 1/2025. The SSD stated all residents had the right to

a responsible party or a public guardian to make sound medical and financial decisions and to be notified of medical changes.

During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Responsible Party (undated), the P&P indicated the facility was to provide a mechanism by which medical treatment, or health care decisions can be made for a resident that includes but is not limited to family member, public guardian, conservator, who can take full responsibility for healthcare decisions. The P&P indicated the following when the Physician and facility staff deemed a resident incapable of making medical treatment/health care decisions. The P&P indicated:

1. Social Services staff would clarify or notify the resident's responsible party or surrogate decision maker.

2. When #1 has been clarified, the resident's responsible party/surrogate decision maker would become the responsible party and the resident's primary physician would be notified.

During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Change in Resident's Condition or Status, revised 2025, the P&P indicated the facility would notify the resident's family or representative when there was a significant change

in the resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status and when a resident is transferred to a hospital, or treatment center.

3. During a review of Resident 39's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 39 on 8/30/2022, and most recently readmitted Resident 39 on 11/23/2024. Resident 39's admitting diagnoses included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a chronic lung disease causing difficulty

in breathing), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM, a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and depression (a persistent mood disorder characterized by a lasting feeling of sadness and loss of interest in activities).

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 47679 potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to obtain informed consent (voluntary agreement to Residents Affected - Some accept treatment and/or procedures after receiving education regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives offered) prior to administration of psychotropic medication (medications that affect the mind, emotions, and behavior) for five of seven sampled residents (Residents 41, 122, 114, 45, and 109) by failing to:

1. Obtain informed consent from Resident 41, who did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions, for the use of aripiprazole (an antipsychotic medication [a medication that affects the mind, emotions, and behavior]), Depakote (an anticonvulsant medication, a medication used to prevent or treat seizures and can be used to treat behavioral disorders), and Lexapro (an antidepressant [a medication used to treat depression, which is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest]).

This deficient practice resulted in Resident 41, who was unable to understand and make decisions, making uninformed decisions about his care and unable to understand the use, side effects, and risks of taking psychotropic medications.

2. Obtain informed consent from Resident 122's Public Guardian ([PG], responsible for the care of individuals who were no longer able to make decisions or care for themselves) for the use of quetiapine (an antipsychotic medication), Depakote, and Trazodone (an antidepressant).

This deficient practice resulted in the removal of Resident 122's PG's right to make decisions about the care and treatment Resident 122 received in the facility.

3. Renew Resident 114's psychotropic medication consent form every six months for Resident 114's prescribed daily dose of Haloperidol Oral Concentrate (an antipsychotic medication).

4. Ensure Resident 45 had a signed and completed informed psychotropic consent for Resident 45's prescribed monthly injection of Invega Sustenna (an antipsychotic).

5. Ensure Resident 109's informed consents for Abilify (an antipsychotic) was complete.

These deficient practices resulted in the violation of Resident 114, 45, and 109's right to make an informed decision regarding the use of psychotropic medication and had the potential for increased the risk they could experience adverse effects (unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a drug may have) leading to impairment or decline in their mental or physical condition or functional or psychosocial status.

Resident Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 114's arms and legs were bent. potential for actual harm b. During a concurrent interview and review on 4/23/2025 at 9:33 a.m. with Minimum Data Set Nurse Residents Affected - Some (MDSN) 2, all of Resident 114's Care Plans, dated in 2024 to 2025, were reviewed. There were no Care Plans for Resident 114's diagnosis of a stroke and risk for functional ADL decline. MDSN 2 stated every diagnosis, including stroke, should have been care planned to ensure all proper interventions are implemented and tracked. MDSN 2 stated Resident 114 should have had a care plan implemented for Resident 114's risk for ADL decline to ensure all interventions were put in place. MDSN 2 stated the lack of

an at risk for ADL decline and stroke care plan placed Resident 114 at risk for ADL decline.

During a concurrent interview and record review, on 4/23/2025, at 10:45 a.m. with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR), Resident 114's Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Notes, dated 1/2024 to 4/2025, and Resident 114's JMA, dated 12/7/2023, were reviewed. There were no notes to indicate Resident 114 had a formal Physical or Occupational Therapy Evaluation performed or had received RNA services. The JMA indicated a recommendation for RNA services for Resident 114. The DOR stated Resident 114 would have benefited from long-term RNA services to maintain Resident 114's ADL abilities and range of motion (the extent or limit to which a part of the body can be moved around a joint or a fixed point; the totality of movement a joint is capable of doing). The DOR stated he thought the nursing staff carried out his RNA recommendation for treatment in 2023 and assumed Resident 114 currently received RNA services. The lack of RNA orders and services for Resident 114 placed Resident 114 at risk for the development of contractures (a permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin, and nearby tissues that causes the joints to shorten and become very stiff) and ADL decline.

F 0698 Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 47286 potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure post-dialysis monitoring was conducted Residents Affected - Few after one of one sampled resident (Resident 82) returned from hemodialysis (a treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the kidney(s) have failed).

This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 82 at risk for unidentified complications following hemodialysis, such as bleeding from the hemodialysis access site and low blood pressure.

Findings:

During a review of Resident 82's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 82 on 1/18/2023, and most recently readmitted Resident 82 on 4/4/2025. Resident 82's admitting diagnoses included end stage renal disease (irreversible kidney failure) and dependence on hemodialysis.

During a review of Resident 82's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 3/27/2025,

the MDS indicated Resident 82 had some difficulty making decisions in new situations only. The MDS indicated Resident 82 required supervision or touch assistance from staff to transition from a sitting position to a standing position, and to walk.

During a review of Resident 82's record titled Review of Nurses Dialysis Documentation, dated 4/9/2025, the document indicated post-dialysis monitoring was not conducted.

During a review of Resident 82's record titled Review of Nurses Dialysis Documentation, dated 4/21/2025,

the document indicated post-dialysis monitoring was not conducted.

During a concurrent interview and record review, on 4/22/2025 at 3:15 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, Resident 82's records titled Nurses Dialysis Documentation, dated 4/9/2025 and 4/21/2025, were reviewed. LVN 3 stated the records did not indicate post-dialysis monitoring was conducted on 4/9/2025 or 4/21/2025, after Resident 82 returned from his hemodialysis appointment. LVN 3 stated it was important to conduct post-hemodialysis monitoring for resident safety, and stated possible complications after dialysis included difficulty breathing, chest pain, bleeding at the catheter site, and swelling. LVN 3 stated post-dialysis monitoring and documentation was to be done as soon as the resident returned to the facility.

During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Hemodialysis, updated 1/2025, the P&P indicated staff were to conduct ongoing assessment and oversight of the resident before, during, and after dialysis treatments, including monitoring of the resident's condition for complications.

F 0744 Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 47679 potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a care plan for dementia (a progressive Residents Affected - Few state of decline in mental abilities) for two out of six sampled residents (Residents 41 and 101).

This failure had the potential to result in inappropriate care and delivery of medical services provided to Resident 41 and Resident 101.

Findings:

1. During a review of Resident 41's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated Resident 41 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses that included dementia, major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness that can affect thoughts, mood, and behavior), and mood disorder (conditions that primarily affect a person's emotional state, causing significant distress or impairment in their daily life).

During a review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated 2/7/2025,

the MDS indicated Resident 41's cognition (process of thinking) was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 41 required maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with toileting, bathing, and lower body dressing.

During a review of Resident 41's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/3/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 41 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/23/2025 at 1 p.m., with Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN) 2, Resident 41's Care Plans, dated 2/3/2025, were reviewed. MDSN 2 stated Resident 41 did not have a care plan addressing his dementia diagnosis. MDSN 2 stated a care plan addressing Resident 41's dementia diagnosis was necessary to create individualized goals for Resident 41 and develop interventions to ensure Resident 41 has a routine with his activities of daily living ([ADLs], activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily) and overall, receives the appropriate care based on the nurses' assessments. MDSN 2 stated the care plan would direct the licensed nurses to monitor Resident 41's progression or decline since dementia is a progressive type of disease. MDSN 2 stated monitoring Resident 41's progression would allow for revisions of interventions to provide the best care to Resident 41. MDSN 2 stated without the necessary care plan, Resident 41 was at risk of not receiving the proper care specific to Resident 41's dementia diagnosis, which could result in a decline in Resident 41's overall health and function.

During an interview on 4/23/2025 at 2:51 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated residents with dementia may require additional assistance with their ADLs and individualized care because dementia affects each individual differently. The DON stated Resident 41 should have had a care plan for his dementia diagnosis to help guide the facility's staff on how to care for him and to address his specific needs. The DON stated care plans were individualized and patient-centered and without one, Resident 41 was at risk of not receiving the specific care he would need.

During a review of Resident 101's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated Resident 101 was potential for actual harm originally admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED]. Resident 101's diagnoses included dementia, unspecified psychosis (a severe mental condition in which thought, and emotions are so affected Residents Affected - Few that contact is lost with reality), and major depressive disorder.

During a review of Resident 101's MDS, dated [DATE REDACTED], the MDS indicated Resident 101's cognitive skills (ability to think and reason) for daily decision making was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 101 required partial or moderate assistance (helper does less than half of the effort) when toileting, bathing, lower body dressing and sitting to standing.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/23/2025 at 1:00 p.m. with MDSN 2, Resident 101's Admission Record and all of Resident 101's Care Plans, dated 2024 to 2025, were reviewed. The Admission

Record indicated Resident 101 was diagnosed with dementia. MDSN 2 stated there were no care plans in place to address Resident 101's diagnosis of dementia. MDSN 2 stated Resident 101 should have had a care plan for dementia to identify any problems of concern and establish goals for Resident 101's behaviors associated with dementia. MDSN 2 stated Resident 101 was at risk for mismanaged care and unmet short- and long-term goals.

During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Dementia, revised 1/2025, the P&P indicated, The staff will monitor the individual with dementia for changes in condition and decline in function and will report these findings to the physician. The physician will help staff adjust interventions and the overall plan depending on the individual's responses to those interventions, progression of dementia, development of new acute medical conditions or complications, changes in resident or family wishes, etc.

During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Care Plans, revised 1/2025, the P&P indicated, An individualized comprehensive care plan that includes measurable goals and timetables to meet the resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs is developed for each resident.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 47679 potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a refrigerator to store residents' food Residents Affected - Many brought from visitors.

This deficient practice resulted in staff disposing of residents' leftover food brought from visitors that could have been stored in a refrigerator.

Findings:

During an interview on 4/22/2025 at 8:54 a.m., with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated there are no separate refrigerators available for residents' foods brought in from visitors. The DS stated leftover food brought in from visitors would be stored in the discretion of the nursing department.

During an interview on 4/22/2025 at 9:05 a.m., with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated residents were allowed to receive food brought in from visitors or if they have the food delivered to the facility. The IP stated the leftover food that was shelf steady (food products that can be stored at room temperature for a prolonged period without spoiling or requiring refrigeration) would be stored at the resident's bedside, however, foods that required refrigeration to prevent spoiling would be thrown out. The IP stated the facility did not have a refrigerator dedicated solely for residents' personal food. The IP stated this was an inconvenience for residents who do not finish their food and would like to save it for later.

During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Safe Handling for Foods from Visitors revised 2/2023, the P&P indicated when food items were intended for later consumption, the responsible facility staff member will determine if food items are shelf stable and whether they could be stored in the resident room or stored under refrigeration.

F 0825 Provide or get specialized rehabilitative services as required for a resident.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 47858 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the Rehabilitation Department failed to perform formal Residents Affected - Some physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) evaluations (PT evaluations to assess a person's movement, strength, and range of motion. OT evaluation focuses on how those physical and cognitive skills impact daily activities) as ordered by the physician to prevent decline and maintain the functional status and, or functional levels for two of six sampled residents (Resident 114 and Resident 28).

These failures resulted in a year-long delay of the initiation of treatment and services to prevent decline and maintain the functional status and levels of Resident 114 and Resident 28. These failures had the potential to increase the risk of the development or worsening of contractures (a permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin, and nearby tissues that causes the joints to shorten and become very stiff), which could have led to further functional decline for Resident 114 and Resident 28. Cross reference

F-F688.

Findings:

1. During a review of Resident 114's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated Resident 114 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses that included dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), cerebral infarction (stroke, loss of blood flow to a part of

the brain), aphasia (a disorder that makes it difficult to speak), and hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) affecting right dominant side and a gastrostomy (a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings to be administered).

During a review of Resident 114's Activities of Daily Living (ADL- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves) Care Plan, dated 12/10/2024, the ADL Care Plan indicated Resident 114 required extensive assistance with bed mobility, eating, toileting, and transfers.

During a review of Resident 114's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated 3/28/2025,

the MDS indicated Resident 114's cognitive skills (ability to think and reason) for daily decision making was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 114 was entirely dependent (helper does all the task) on staff for bathing, toileting, performing personal hygiene, sitting to standing, and transferring from the bed to a chair. The MDS indicated Resident 114 had an active diagnosis of a stroke (loss of blood flow to a part of the brain).

During a review of Resident 114's Order Summary Report, dated 4/23/2025, Resident 114 was ordered to have a PT and OT evaluation performed on 1/1/2023. The Order Summary Report did not indicate Resident 114 was ordered PT, OT, or RNA services after the evaluations were ordered on 1/1/2023.

During observations made on 4/21/2025 at 9:30 a.m. and on 4/24/2025 at 10:38 a.m., Resident 114 was non-verbal, and was positioned on her back in bed while her g-tube feeding (liquid nutrition delivered directly to the stomach) was administered. Resident 114's arms and legs were bent.

There were no Care Level of Harm - Minimal harm or Plans for Resident 114's diagnosis of a stroke and risk for functional ADL decline. MDSN 2 stated every potential for actual harm diagnosis, including stroke, should have been care planned to ensure all proper interventions are implemented and tracked. MDSN 2 stated Resident 114 should have had a care plan implemented for Residents Affected - Some Resident 114's risk for ADL decline to ensure all interventions were put in place. MDSN 2 stated the lack of

an At risk for ADL decline and Stroke care plan placed Resident 114 at risk for ADL decline.

During a concurrent interview and record review, on 4/23/2025, at 10:45 a.m. with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR), Resident 114's Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Notes, dated 1/2024 to 4/2025, and Resident 114's Joint Mobility Assessment ([JMA] brief assessment of a resident's range of motion in both arms and both legs), dated 12/7/2023, were reviewed. There were no notes to indicate Resident 114 had a formal PT and OT evaluation performed or received RNA services. The JMA, dated 12/7/2023, indicated Resident 114 was recommended to be provided with RNA services. The DOR stated Resident 114 would have benefited from long-term RNA services to maintain Resident 114's ADL abilities and range of motion (the extent or limit to which a part of the body can be moved around a joint or a fixed point; the totality of movement a joint can do). The DOR stated he thought the nursing staff carried out the RNA recommendation for treatment in 2023 and assumed Resident 114 currently received RNA services (in 2025). The DOR stated residents that typically had a formal PT and OT evaluation performed were residents that had known ADL and physical functional limitations. The DOR stated Resident 114 had known physical limitations and should have had a formal PT and OT evaluation performed sooner. The DOR stated the lack of RNA services and PT and OT evaluation placed Resident 114 at risk for the development of contractures and ADL decline.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/21/2025 at 10:03 a.m. with Resident 28 while in Resident 28's bedroom, Resident 28 was awake, fully dressed, and lying in bed. Both of Resident 28's elbows were Residents Affected - Some bent, and both hands were in a closed fist position. Resident 28 stated he does not receive any therapy with

the rehab department nor with the RNAs.

During an interview on 4/24/2025 at 8:15 a.m., with the Medical Records Director (MRD), the MRD stated Resident 28 never had PT or an OT evaluation.

During an interview on 4/24/2025 at 9:12 a.m., with the DOR, the DOR stated when the resident's physician orders for a PT or OT evaluation, the evaluation would be done within 48 hours. Resident 28's order for a PT or OT evaluation were not done because the Joint Mobility Assessment ([JMA], brief assessment of a resident's range of motion in both arms and both legs) was conducted and presumed the JMA was a sufficient evaluation. The DOR stated the PT and OT evaluation were more extensive and assessed more than just the resident's functional ROM limitations. The DOR stated the PT and OT evaluation should be conducted on residents who have existing ROM limitations, which included Resident 28. The DOR stated Resident 28 should have had a PT and OT evaluation to create a goal and to create a treatment plan to prevent any decline in Resident 28's ROM and ability to participate in ADLs.

During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Prevention of Decline in Range of Motion revised 1/2025, the P&P indicated, Residents who entered the facility without limited range of motion would not experience a reduction in range of motion unless the resident's clinical condition demonstrated that a reduction in range of motion is unavoidable. The P&P indicated, Residents who exhibit limitations in range of motion will be referred to the therapy department for a focused assessment of range of motion.

During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Specialized Rehabilitative Services, revised 1/2025, the P&P indicated the facility shall provide or obtain rehabilitative services if required by the resident's comprehensive assessment and care plan.

During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Activities of Daily Living revised 2025, the P&P indicated the facility would provide a maintenance and restorative program to assist the resident in achieving and maintaining the highest practicable outcome based on the comprehensive assessment.

Resident 28 stated Level of Harm - Minimal harm or he did not have any pain and consented for the TN to begin the wound treatment. The TN prepared her potential for actual harm supplies, performed hand hygiene, and applied gloves. The privacy curtain was pulled around Resident 28's bed and Resident 28 was positioned onto his left side with his right buttock exposed. The TN removed the Residents Affected - Many previous dressing and gauze from Resident 28's wound. The TN removed her gloves and immediately applied new gloves.

During an interview on 4/23/2025 at 8:52 a.m., with the TN, the TN stated hand hygiene was supposed to be performed throughout the wound treatment, especially after taking off gloves and before applying new gloves. The TN stated during Resident 28's wound treatment, she performed hand hygiene at the beginning of the wound treatment, but she did not perform hand hygiene whenever she removed her gloves. The TN stated gloves provided a barrier to help protect the resident from bacteria, however, hand hygiene was necessary to reduce the risk of transmitting bacteria. The TN stated not performing hand hygiene during Resident 28's wound treatment put him at risk of infection due to his open wound. The TN stated an infection could hinder Resident 28's wound from healing and potentially make it worse.

During an interview on 4/24/2025 at 8:16 a.m., with the IP, the IP stated the purpose of hand hygiene was to prevent transmission of bacteria and diseases from one person to another. The IP stated during a wound treatment, hand hygiene had to be performed before initiating the treatment, during the treatment when gloves were changed, and once the treatment was completed. The IP stated bacteria could be present on

the person's hands and could be transmitted onto the gloves if hand hygiene was not performed. The IP stated this would put the residents at risk of infection, especially for Resident 28 who had a Stage 4 pressure ulcer. The IP stated if Resident 28's wound became infected, the infection could spread to the bone and cause additional health complications.

During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Hand Hygiene, revised 2025, the P&P indicated, Staff involved in direct resident contact will perform proper hand hygiene procedures to prevent the spread of infection to other personnel, residents, and visitors.
