Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the resident who had a suspected deep tissue pressure injury (SDTI, suspected pressure injury where damage is occurring beneath
the skin, but the surface skin may still appear intact. It's characterized by a purple or maroon localized area of discolored skin or a blood-filled blister due to damage to underlying soft tissues from pressure) to a right heel and left heel blister did not progress to unstageable (actual pressure injury covered by slough [(pale yellow, thick, tissue with fiber) and/or eschar [a piece of dead tissue that is cast off from the surface of the skin] pressure injury for one of 16 sampled residents (Resident 35). The facility failed to:
1. Ensure Resident 35's right heel SDTI did not decline to an unstageable pressure injury2.
2. Monitored and documented the presence of a left heel SDTI upon Resident 35's admission.
3. Documented weekly left heel SDTI wound assessments in Resident 35's medical record.
4. Referred Resident 35 to a wound care practitioner.
5.

F 0686 During a review of Resident 35's MDS, dated [DATE REDACTED], the MDS indicated Resident 35 had moderate cognitive impairment and required substantial/ maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for Level of Harm - Actual harm bed mobility including rolling from left to right. The MDS indicated Resident 35 was at risk for pressure injuries and had two deep tissue injuries and zero unstageable pressure injuries with slough or eschar. Residents Affected - Few
During an observation on 4/14/2025 at 10 a.m., Resident 35 was lying in bed with her feet elevated on one pillow. Resident 35 did not have heel protector boots on, Resident 35 was not lying on a low air loss mattress.
During an interview on 4/14/2025 at 10:11 a.m., Family Member (FM) 2 stated she was upset because Resident 35's left heel wound was getting worse.
During an observation on 4/14/2025 at 1:44 p.m., TXN 1 was in Resident 35's room speaking to FM 3 at the bedside. Resident 35 was lying in bed crying in pain, saying her left foot hurt. Resident 35 was informing FM 3 she had chills (the feeling of being cold, though not necessarily in a cold environment, often accompanied by shivering or shaking). TXN 1 was obtaining a wound culture swab of Resident 35's left foot wound due to
the foul odor of the wound. Resident 35's left heel was observed with the following and described by TXN 1 as: a large area of dark purple or black appearing eschar, surrounded by a pinkish red area of granulation tissue, and a small amount of yellowish white slough.
During a review of Resident 35's wound culture (medical test to determine the kind of infectious agent), obtained from left foot on 4/14/2025, the wound culture results indicated Resident 35 had moderate growth of Proteus Mirablis (a gram-negative bacteria that can cause wound infections).
During an interview on 4/15/2025 at 9:03 a.m., TXN 1 stated Resident 35's wounds were not being treated by a wound care practitioner. TXN 1 stated she noticed a change in appearance to Resident 35's left heel wound and a little bit of odor, so she obtained the wound culture on 4/14/2025. TXN 1 reviewed her wound care binder at the nurse's station where she tracked residents' wound progress but there was no information about Resident 35 in her wound care binder. TXN 1 reviewed Resident 35's medical record and stated there were no weekly skin/ wound documentation in the chart including measurements and appearance of the wounds. TXN 1 reviewed Resident 35's LN-Initial Admission Assessment from 3/23/2025 and stated the documentation lacked a description of the wound appearance and the measurements of the wound. TXN 1 stated the initial assessment of the left heel wound indicated it was a left heel blister. TXN 1 stated when she assessed Resident 35 herself on 3/26/2025, she noted the wound to be a SDTI with 100% of the wound being purple boggy (a wound where the surrounding tissue feels soft, spongy, and possibly mushy to the touch, often due to increased fluid content) tissue. TXN 1 stated based on the documentation in the chart she did not have a good baseline (assessment of the wound upon admission) from admission to see if there had already been a decline in the wound status since admission because the documentation was lacking wound characteristics, so she reclassified the wound as an SDTI based on her assessment from 3/26/2025.

F 0686 During an interview on 4/16/2025 at 8:04 a.m., with FM 1, FM 1 stated when she was visiting Resident 35 on
the evening of 4/13/2025, Resident 35 was complaining of pain to her left foot, and she noted a smell in Level of Harm - Actual harm Resident 35's room so she ripped off Resident 35's sock and bandage that was wrapped around the left heel. FM 1 stated she was shocked to see Resident 35's left heel wound looked worse, and the wound Residents Affected - Few smelled. FM 1 stated she alerted staff (unknown) to the issue on 4/13/2025 and two staff came in to look at
the wound and wrap it back up, but she was unsure who the staff were. FM 1 stated the wound looked much worse than it did when Resident 35 was admitted . FM 1 stated a wound culture was taken the next day (4/14/2025) but she did not know the results yet. FM 1 stated Resident 35 was complaining of worsening left heel pain for a few days. FM 1 stated Resident 1 was admitted from the GACH with heel protector boots and when she would go visit Resident 35, they would not be on and would be in Resident 35's closet and sometimes Resident 35's heels would be touching the bed.
During an interview on 4/16/2025 at 11:16 a.m., TXN 1 stated Resident 35's left heel wound had a change in status on 4/14/2025. The wound had some drainage and had a smell, so the facility obtained an order for a wound culture. TXN 1 stated she did not inform the physician of the change in appearance of the wound;
they just requested a wound culture due to the smell. TXN 1 stated Resident 35's left heel wound now had eschar or necrotic tissue which was not good for wound healing and usually needed to be debrided but debridement was not in her scope of practice so Resident 35 needed a wound care consultation. TXN 1 stated she had yet to request an order for a wound care consultation for Resident 35's wound because the results of the wound culture were not back yet. TXN 1 stated when a wound has eschar, they do not know how bad the wound really was underneath, and the wound could have been worse. TXN 1 stated DTIs could deteriorate rapidly with any pressure due to the fragility of the skin and it was important to be proactive with interventions and offload the heels for the best chance for wound healing. TXN 1 stated it was important to have accurate baseline assessments of wounds and wound interventions should be implemented immediately to keep the wound healthy, infection free, mitigate pain, and promote healing. TXN 1 stated it was the facility's policy to document weekly on the wound progress. TXN 1 stated it was important to have a description of the wound including all the wound characteristics and measurements upon baseline so the facility could have an accurate baseline to track the progress of the wound and to ensure the resident receives the proper interventions to prevent a decline in the wound. TXN 1 stated she reviewed Resident 35's care plans and the care plans were not updated until 4/15/2025 to include the reclassified SDTI staging of the left heel wound and to offload the heels. TXN 1 stated the care plan should have been updated when
she reclassified the left heel wound as a SDTI on 3/26/2025. TXN 1 stated a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each wound was important because the facility needed to identify the problem, assess the risk associated with the problem, and implement interventions to prevent a decline in the wound and to promote wound healing. TXN 1 stated she was upset with herself because she did not perform a COC assessment and notify the physician of Resident 35's decline in wound appearance on 4/14/2025. TXN 1 stated there was a possibility of delay in care and treatment if the physician was not notified right away of a wound decline. TXN 1 stated she had not called Resident 1's physician to discuss Resident 35's wound status since she had been caring for Resident 35's wounds.
During an interview on 4/16/2025 at 2:21 p.m., with the physician assistant (PA) 1 who was in the facility, PA 1 stated he had just been informed Resident 35 had worsening wounds. PA 1 stated he was going to put an order for Resident 35 to be seen by a wound care practitioner. PA 1 stated the physician or himself should have been notified right away of any new or changing wounds. PA 1 stated it was important residents with wounds that have eschar were seen by a wound care consultant so the appropriate interventions could be placed.

F 0686 During an interview on 4/16/2025 at 2:25 p.m., TXN 1 stated she was now staging Resident 35's left heel wound as an unstageable pressure injury due to the wound characteristics (slough and eschar). TXN 1 Level of Harm - Actual harm stated the definition of an unstageable pressure injury was the wound couldn't be staged.
Residents Affected - Few During an observation on 4/16/2025 at 2:42 p.m., TXN 1 measured the wound on Resident 35's left heel, the wound measured 6.5 cm length by 7.0 cm in width with a separate discoloration (redness) on the inner ankle.
The wound had a large purplish black center, yellowish white area surrounding the dark area as well as a small area of granulation tissue (new pinkish red tissue). TXN 1 removed the dressing from the right heel and revealed a 3.3 cm in length by 5.0 cm in width wound that was purple with a translucent center. TXN 1 indicated she would be reclassifying the right heel wound as an unstageable pressure injury as well completing a COC for bilateral heels.
During a review of Resident 35's COC evaluation dated 4/16/2025, the COC indicated Resident 35 had developed pain in both heels. Resident 35's left and right hells SDTI were reclassified as Unstageable pressure injuries. The left heel unstageable pressure injury measured 6.5 cm in length by 7.0 cm in width with 75 percent (%) of wound covered in eschar, 20% slough, and 5% granulation tissue with medial (inside) ankle discoloration. The right heel unstageable pressure injury measured 3.3 cm in length by 5.0 cm in width with purple intact tissue. The COC indicated FM 2 was requesting an x-ray (a type of diagnostic test using radiation that creates a picture of the inside of the body) of both feet to rule out effects to the bone.
During a review of Resident 35's Nursing Progress Note dated 4/17/2025, the Progress Note indicated Resident 35 verbalized she was unable to sleep well the night prior due to left heel pain and had moderate pain at the time of evaluation on the left heel.

The DON stated it was important she was notified of wound and the wound decline so Level of Harm - Actual harm she could review the chart and ensure the resident was receiving all appropriate interventions. The DON stated wounds needed to be assessed upon admission, for any changes, and weekly and all assessments Residents Affected - Few needed to be recorded in the resident's chart. The DON stated the IDT had not met to discuss Resident 35's wounds. The DON stated there was a possibility the wounds could decline if the IDT did not meet to discuss important interventions needed. The DON reviewed Resident 35's medical record and stated weekly skin/ wound assessments had not been completed. The DON stated the LN- initial admission assessment should have included a wound description and measurements, and the initial assessment indicated Resident 35 was admitted with a left heel blister. The DON stated the physician should have been notified that the left heel blister was reclassified as a SDTI on 3/26/2025 but there was no evidence in the chart that the physician was informed. The DON stated it was important the physician was aware of wound changes so they could order any necessary interventions. The DON stated there was no COC or notification of the physician documented
in Resident 35's chart related to the wound appearance and decline on 4/14/2025. The DON stated the treatment nurses (TXN 1 and TXN 2) were not competent in wound documentation and tracking as evidenced by the lack of documentation in Resident 35's chart and the failure to complete a COC when a decline in the wound was noted on 4/14/2025. The DON stated Resident 35 did not have an order for an LAL mattress. The DON stated Resident 35 had not been seen by a wound care consult.

F 0688 During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/15/2025 at 9:01 a.m. with Resident 40 in the bedroom, Resident 40 was lying awake in bed with the head-of-bed (HOB) elevated and had fluent speech. Resident Level of Harm - Actual harm 40 moved both arms at the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints without any assistance. Resident 40 stated both hands used to look normal and constantly felt cold. The large knuckles of each finger on Resident 40's Residents Affected - Few right-hand was observed in a bent position and unable to fully straighten. The middle joint of each finger on Resident 40s right-hand were hyperextended (excessive backward bending), which caused the tip joints of each finger to slightly bend. Resident 40 bent the right-hand fingers but was unable to make a full fist. Resident 40 stated both hands were normal until about one year ago when both hands started feeling cold. Resident 40 stated the facility has never provided any splints to the right-hand. Resident 40 was observed with more active movement in the left-hand than the right-hand. Resident 40 moved the left-hand into a fist and extended the fingers. Resident 40's left-hand had minimal ROM limitations when extending the fingers, which included hyperextension of the large knuckles of the index and ring fingers, a slight bend in the middle joints of each finger, and abduction (movement away from the other fingers) of the small finger. Resident 40 stated both hands made him feel handicapped. Resident 40 stated the RNAs performed exercises to both hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, and hands. A folded-up manual wheelchair was observed on the right side of Resident 40's bed. A FWW was also observed leaning against the wall next to Resident 40's nightstand. Resident 40 stated the facility transferred him to the wheelchair during the weekdays using a sit-to-stand mechanical lift. Resident 40 stated he used to walk with the therapists from the therapy room and down the hallway using the FWW but stated the facility had not attempted to walk with him anymore for over one year.
During an observation on 4/15/2025 at 9:54 a.m. with Restorative Nursing Aide 2 (RNA 2), Resident 40's RNA session was observed. Resident 40 was lying awake in bed with the HOB elevated. RNA 2 lowered the HOB to place Resident 40's bed in a flat position. RNA 2 performed ROM exercises to both legs, including hip flexion (bending the leg at the hip joint toward the body) with the knee extended (straight), hip abduction (moving the leg at the hip joint away from the body), hip flexion with knee flexion, and right ankle dorsiflexion (bending the ankle toward the body). RNA 2 performed ROM exercises to Resident 40's right arm, including shoulder flexion, elbow flexion and extension, wrist rotation, thumb extension and flexion, and right-hand flexion. RNA 2 was unable to completely extend Resident 40's right elbow and the right fingers at the large knuckles. RNA 2 performed ROM exercises to Resident 40's left arm, including shoulder flexion, elbow flexion and extension, wrist rotation, and thumb extension and flexion. RNA 2 encouraged Resident 40 to perform active range of motion ([AROM] performance of ROM of a joint without any assistance or effort of another person) of the left hand into complete finger extension and flexion.
During an interview on 4/15/2025 at 10:16 a.m., with RNA 2, RNA 2 stated she provided passive range of motion ([PROM] movement of a joint through the ROM with no effort from person) to both of Resident 40's arms and legs and AROM the left hand during the RNA session. RNA 2 stated she used to perform sit-to-stand transfers with Resident 40, but the therapist (unspecified) changed Resident 40's RNA program to ROM since it was unsafe for Resident 40 to perform sit-to-stand.
During an interview on 4/15/2025 at 2:27 p.m., with the DOR, the DOR described PROM exercises as ROM provided to residents who did not have the physical ability to perform ROM exercises. The DOR stated AAROM exercises were when the resident can perform the ROM exercises but required assistance to finish or initiate the motion.

During an interview and record review on 4/15/2025 at 4:15 p.m., with the DOR, Resident 40's CIC Evaluation, dated 10/4/2024, was reviewed. The DOR stated LVN 4 completed the CIC Evaluation but no longer worked at the facility. The DOR stated the CIC Evaluation indicated Resident 40 had a decline due to
the resident's inability to perform sit-to-stand transfers. The DOR stated the CIC Evaluation indicated NP 1 was notified, did not provide any new orders, and continue to monitor Resident 40. The DOR stated Resident 40 did not receive a Rehab Screen (brief assessment to determine if a therapy evaluation was needed) on 10/4/2024.
During an interview on 4/16/2025 at 10:57 a.m., with Resident 40, Resident 40 stated the facility did not inform him when they stopped RNA for sit-to-stand transfers. Resident 40 did not recall performing sit-to-stand transfers with the RNAs that often. Resident 40 stated he did not ask any questions and went along with the RNA program. Resident 40 stated there was one occurrence (unspecified date) when the RNAs thought the resident was going to fall. Resident 40 stated PT 1, who did not work at the facility anymore, observed the RNAs assist the resident with the sit-to-stand transfer, told Resident 40 that he was not strong enough to do the transfer, and told Resident 40 the sit-to-stand mechanical lift would be used for transfers. Resident 40 stated he did not discuss stopping RNA for sit-to-stand transfers with NP 1 and did not receive any additional therapy to maintain his ability to stand.
During a telephone interview on 4/16/2025 at 11:19 a.m., with FM 1, FM 1 stated Resident 40's right-hand had limited motion for at least one year. FM 1 stated Resident 40 was left-handed and constantly felt cold in both hands. FM 1 stated Resident 40 used the left-hand more often and kept the right-hand clenched in a fist under the blanket. FM 1 was aware that the facility stopped physically transferring Resident 40 to the wheelchair and used the sit-to-stand mechanical lift for transfers. FM 1 stated she was not aware the facility stopped the RNA program for Resident 40 to perform sit-to-stand transfers.
During an interview on 4/16/2025 at 12:49 p.m., with RNA 2, RNA 2 stated Resident 40 used to require two-person assistance during RNA for sit-to-stand transfers. RNA 2 stated Resident 40's ability to maintain his standing balance would vary. RNA 2 stated Resident 40's inability to stand during RNA sessions was reported to the charge nurse (unable to recall which nurse) and the DOR. RNA 2 stated either PT 1 (no longer worked at the facility) or Occupational Therapist 1 ([OT] professional aimed to increase or maintain a person's capability of participating in everyday life activities [occupations]) changed Resident 40's RNA program to discontinue sit-to-stand transfers.

F 0688 During an observation on 4/16/2025 at 1:25 p.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant 4 (CNA 4) and RNA 2 in Resident 40's room, Resident 40's transfer from the bed to the wheelchair using the sit-to-stand mechanical Level of Harm - Actual harm lift was observed. RNA 2 stood on the right side of the bed while CNA 4 stood on the left side of the bed. Both CNA 4 and RNA 2 assisted Resident 40 from lying in bed to sitting on the right side of the bed. RNA 2 Residents Affected - Few and CNA 4 placed and fastened a cloth sling around Resident 40's waist. Cloth loops were sewn onto the cloth sling. RNA 2 fastened the loop to a right-sided hook on the sit-to-stand mechanical lift and then attached another loop to a left-sided hook on the sit-to-stand mechanical lift. RNA 2 used a controller to lift Resident 40 from a seated position at the edge of the bed to a standing position. Resident 40's knees were extended but Resident 40 did not stand upright. Both of Resident 40's hips were bent and positioned behind Resident 40's torso (main part of the body comprised of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, and back) and legs. RNA 2 turned the sit-to-stand mechanical lift toward Resident 40's wheelchair. CNA 4 secured Resident 40's wheelchair as RNA 2 lowered Resident 40 into a seated position.
During an interview on 4/16/2025 at 1:47 p.m., with Occupational Therapist 2 (OT 2), OT 2 stated ROM loss could be prevented with ROM exercises and application of splints. OT 2 stated splints prevented the development of contractures (a stiffening/shortening at any joint that reduces the joint's range of motion) and prevented further contractures if a resident already had contractures.
During an observation and interview on 4/16/2025 at 2:04 p.m., with OT 2, Resident 40's hands were observed while Resident 40 sat in the wheelchair. OT 2 stated the large knuckles of Resident 40's right-hand were in a bent position to approximately 60 degrees (normal 0-90 degrees), the middle joints of each finger were hyperextended, and the tip joints of each finger were bent. OT 2 asked Resident 40 to make a fist with
the right-hand. OT 2 stated Resident 40's right-hand fingers slightly bent with the thumb having the most motion. OT 2 asked Resident 40 to move the left-hand into a fist and to touch the thumb to the tip of each finger. OT 2 stated Resident 40's left-hand motion was within functional limits (sufficient joint movement without significant limitation).
During an interview on 4/16/2025 at 2:12 p.m., with OT 2, OT 2 stated Resident 40's right hand was not normal due to significant limitation in the large knuckles and hyperextension of the middle joints. OT 2 stated Resident 40 would benefit from a splint to prevent further contractures in the right hand.
During a telephone interview on 4/16/2025 at 4:06 p.m., with Resident 40's physician (MD 1), MD 1 stated he would try to determine the reason for a resident's decline (in general) to perform sit-to-stand transfers with RNA and usually recommended additional therapy to improve mobility after a discussion with the resident if
the facility notified MD 1 of a decline. MD 1 stated he would absolutely recommend additional therapy for Resident 40 if Resident 40 experienced a decline in the ability to perform sit-to-stand transfers with RNA. MD 1 stated the therapists usually contacted MD 1 directly for additional therapy orders but did not contact MD 1 regarding Resident 40. MD 1 stated NP 1 usually assessed the residents at the facility.
During an interview on 4/17/2025 at 10:06 a.m., with Resident 40, Resident 40 stated he felt frustrated that
he could not stand anymore. Resident 40 stated he did not have a choice and would find a way to stand by himself even if it was not safe.

F 0688 During an interview on 4/17/2025 at 11:59 a.m., with the DON and the DOR, the facility's P&P for Quality of Care titled, ROM and Contracture Prevention, was reviewed which indicated the facility ensured residents Level of Harm - Actual harm received services, care and equipment to maintain and/or improve their highest level of ROM and mobility unless a reduction is clinical unavoidable. The DON stated Resident 40's highest practicable level of mobility Residents Affected - Few was to perform sit-to-stand. The DON declined to answer the question regarding whether Resident 40's decline in mobility was preventable.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/17/2025 at 1:07 p.m. with RNA 2 and the DOR, Resident 40 sat in the wheelchair while RNA 2 wheeled Resident 40 into the hallway facing the hallway's siderail. The DOR placed a vinyl gait belt (assistive device placed around a person's waist to assist with safe transferring between surfaces or while walking) around Resident 40's waist. The DOR was standing on the left side of Resident 40 while RNA 2 was on the right side. Resident 40 extended both arms and grabbed the hallway siderail as the DOR and RNA 2 physically assisted Resident 40 upward toward standing. Resident 40's hips were bent and positioned behind Resident 40's torso and legs in a squatting position. The DOR attempted to physically push both of Resident 40's hips upward and forward but Resident 40 did not stand upright. The DOR and RNA 2 assisted Resident 40 back to sitting in the wheelchair and appeared physically tired. The DOR and RNA 2 stated Resident 40 required complete physical assistance to attempt to stand. RNA 2 stated Resident 40 used to stand before with maximum assistance of two-persons. Resident 40 stated, That's the perfect word, 'before,' because I have not stood in a while.
During a telephone interview on 4/17/2025 at 1:57 p.m. with NP 1, NP 1 stated she did not recall the facility reporting Resident 40's inability to perform sit-to-stand with RNA. NP 1 stated the facility would typically request a therapy evaluation if a resident (in general) had decline in mobility. NP 1 stated a therapy evaluation would have been approved if the facility requested it for Resident 40's decline in ability to perform sit-to-stand.
During a concurrent interview and record review with Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1) and RNA 2 on 4/17/2025 at 2:20 p.m., Resident 40's RNA Weekly Progress Reports from 5/2024 to 10/2024 were reviewed. RNA 2 stated Resident 40 used to require full physical assistance to perform sit-to-stand, stood upright, and required physical assistance to maintain the standing position. RNA 1 stated Resident 40's ability to perform sit-to-stand changed every session. RNA 1 reviewed Resident 40's RNA Weekly Progress Report, dated 5/2/2024, which indicated Resident 40 stood for 20-35 seconds. RNA 1 stated Resident 40 stood upright for 20-35 seconds with full physical assistance from both RNAs. RNA 1 reviewed Resident 40's RNA Weekly Progress Report, dated 5/9/2024, which indicated Resident 40 stood for 10 seconds with good balance. RNA 1 stated Resident 40 had good balance because he stood more upright than usual and did not need as much assistance from RNAs. RNA 1 reviewed Resident 40's RNA Weekly Progress Report, dated 5/16/2024, and stated Resident 40 required two-person assistance for the sit-to-stand transfer and assistance to maintain standing for 30-60 seconds. Both RNA 1 and RNA 2 reviewed Resident 40's RNA Weekly Progress Reports from 6/2024 to 9/2024 and stated Resident 40 required two-person assistance to perform sit-to-stand transfers and to maintain standing. RNA 1 stated Resident 40 was unable to stand fully
on 10/4/2024 which was reported to the charge nurse, the DOR, and the PT (unspecified). RNA 1 and RNA 2 stated the therapists would usually do a screen and determined the next steps.

Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Falling Star Program, dated 3/20/2024, that indicated, if the resident has fallen in the last 30days, staff would place a falling star sticker on their door tag to ensure one of one sampled resident (Resident 11) remained free of accident by not placing a star sticker on resident's door post. Resident 11 had four times falls in the past four months.
This failure had the potential for Resident 11 to sustain injuries from falling, due to lack of proper supervision that would be indicated by a falling star sticker.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 11's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated the facility Resident 11 admitted Resident 11 on 8/17/2022 with diagnoses including Dementia (Progressive loss of mental abilities like memory, thinking, and reasoning, so severe that it interferers with daily [NAME]) and history of transient ischemic attack (a temporary interruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to symptoms similar to a stroke but resolving within 24 hours) and cerebral infraction (an ischemic stroke).
During a review of Resident 11's History and Physical (H&P), dated 3/24/2025, the H&P indicated, Resident 11 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 11's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 03/23/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 11' cognitive (functions your brain uses to think, pay attention, process information, and remember things) skills were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 11 required supervision assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/ or touching/ steading and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) with eating, moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort to complete the task) with oral hygiene, maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort to complete task) with upper body dressing and was totally dependent with toileting hygiene, showering, lower body dressing, putting on and taking off footwear.
During a review of Resident 11's Change in Condition (COC) Evaluation, for the month of December 2024, January 2025, and March 2025, the COC evaluation indicated, Resident 11 had fallen four times in the past four months, on 12/18/2024, on 12/24/2024, on 1/15/2025, and on 3/17/2024.
During a review of Resident 11's fall risk assessment, dated 2/7/2025 and 3/23/2025, the fall risk assessments indicated, Resident 11 was a high risk for falls.
During an observation on 4/14/2025 at 1:20 p.m., Resident 11's room, no star sticker as an indicator for fall risk was observed at the resident's door post.
During an interview on 4/15/2025 at 8:28 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated that Resident 11 was not a fall risk because there was no falling star sticker on the entrance to his room, and residents who are fall risks have a falling star sticker on their door.

During an interview on 4/17/2025 at 1:40 p.m., with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated that Resident 11 was a high risk for falls, and a falling star sticker should have been placed for staff to be aware that he had fallen multiple times in the last 90 days. The ADON stated that the facility wanted to prevent or eliminate the risk of reoccurring falls. The ADON stated the facility followed the falling star program as an intervention, and putting a falling star sticker after a fall was extremely important communication with all staff to monitor the resident, and also to place a reminder sign at bedside to ask for help.
During an interview on 4/18/2025 at 10:27 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that it was important to follow the falling star program for a fall risk resident to prevent a fall from reoccurring.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Falling Star Program, dated 3/20/2024, the P&P indicated, if the resident has fallen in the last 30days, the DSD/ Designee will place a star sticker on their door tag.

This failure has the potential to compromise the resident's safety and well-being and spread of infection.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 52's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 52 on 4/17/2024 and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including acute respiratory failure (difficulty breathing) with hypoxia (a condition where there is not enough oxygen [life sustaining element of air] to supply the body) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a progressive lung disease that makes it hard to breathe due to damaged airways and lung tissue).
During a review of Resident 52's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 1/16/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 52's cognitive (to think, pay attention, process information, and remember things) skills were moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 52 required setup or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up) with eating, oral hygiene, maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort to complete task) with showering, was dependent (helper does all the effort) with toileting hygiene and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 52's Order Summary Report, orders as of 4/16/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated orders to administer oxygen at 3 liters per min (l/min-a unit that expresses flow rate) via nasal cannular (NC- a simple medical device used to deliver supplemental oxygen through the nose) continuous

This deficient practice had the potential to result in an undetected decline in medical, health or psychosocial condition and can lead to a delay in necessary care, treatment and services.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 49's Admission record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 49 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and was readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM: a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), heart failure (heart unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs), and HTN.
During a review of Resident 49's Minimum Data Set [MDS] a resident assessment tool), dated 4/1/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 49's cognitive skills (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 49 is dependent on all aspects of activities of daily living (ADL: bathing, chair/bed-to-chair transfer, personal hygiene, toileting hygiene, oral hygiene). The MDS indicated Resident 49 does not have any impairments on both the upper (arms/shoulders) and lower extremities.
During a review of the physician progress notes for Resident 49, Resident 49's last physician notes is 1/28/2025.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/18/2025 at 2:58p.m. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), ADON stated physicians come within two to three days upon admission to come and assess the residents and are present at the facility at least monthly. ADON stated Resident 49 has left the facility since 1/28/2025 and indicated there are no notes in PointClickCare (PCC: electronic medical record) nor on the physician progress notes in the chart. ADON stated Resident 49 is a custodial resident and is seen once every 2 months.
During an interview on 4/18/2025 at 4:18p.m. with ADON, ADON stated Resident 49 should have been seen by a physician since 1/28/2025. ADON stated if the resident is not seen by the physician, it can affect the residents as they would not have the opportunity to talk to them face to face or ask questions. ADON stated
the physician should come and see the residents so they can do a physical assessment.
During a review of the facility's policies and Procedures (P&P), titled Physician Visits, revised 6/2015, the P&P indicated it is the policy of this facility that residents must be seen by a physician at least once every thirty (30) days for the first ninety (90) days after admission, and at least once every sixty (60) thereafter.

Residents Affected - Some Based on interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure facility staff were competent when caring for two out of 16 sampled residents (Resident 35 and Resident 57) with pressure injuries (areas of damaged skin and tissue caused by sustained pressure) by failing to:
a. Ensure treatment nurse (TXN 1) was competent in performing and documenting weekly wound assessments per the facility's Wound Management and Prevention Policy and Procedure (P/P) for Resident 35.
b. Ensure TXN 1 was competent in completing a change of condition (COC) assessment and notifying the physician when a change in Resident 35's left heel suspected deep tissue pressure injury (SDTI, a form of pressure-induced damage to underlying tissues, including muscles, bones, and subcutaneous layers, while
the skin surface might remain intact. It typically results from sustained pressure or shear forces that compromise blood flow, leading to ischemia and subsequent tissue necrosis. Recognizing a suspected deep tissue injury is crucial for timely intervention to prevent progression to more severe wounds) noted on [DATE REDACTED].
c. Ensure the Director of Nursing (DON) was monitoring all residents with pressure injuries including Resident 57
As a result of this deficient practice accurate progress or lack thereof for Resident 35's left heel SDTI was not recorded in the medical record and there was a possibility for delay in care and treatment for Resident 35's left heel wound. Resident 35's left heel SDTI declined and was reclassified as an unstageable pressure injury (when the stage is not clear. In these cases, the base of the wound is covered by a layer of dead tissue that may be yellow, grey, green, brown, or black. The doctor cannot see the base of the wound to determine the stage) on [DATE REDACTED]. Resident 57 did not receive clinical oversight from the DON until Resident 57's right buttock redness first seen on [DATE REDACTED] had developed into a stage four (Full-thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage, or bone) pressure injury on [DATE REDACTED].

F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 28851 potential for actual harm (refer to F-755 and 759) Residents Affected - Some Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two (2) of 4 sampled residents (Residents 377 and 429) were free of significant medication errors. The facility failed to ensure:
1.Resident 377 received morphine sulfate (a potent opioid for pain management) ER (extended release, release drug slowly into the body over an extended period of time) tablet 15 milligrams (mg, unit to measure mass) as per order; instead, Resident 377 received morphine sulfate immediate release (IR, release drug into the body right away).
2.Resident 429 received benazepril (generic for Lotensin, a type of medication to treat high blood pressure) 20 mg as per ordered. Instead, Resident 429 received benazepril 40 mg.
These failures led to significant medication errors that let to insufficient pain relief for Resident 377 and resulted in Resident 377 requested and received additional pain relief more frequently for breakthrough pain and had the potential to cause hypotension (a health condition when the blood pressure is too low resulting
in feeling weak and increased risk for falls) for Resident 429.
Findings:
1. During a med pass observation on 4/17/2025 at 9 AM, the surveyor observed the licensed vocational nurse (LVN 1) prepared and administered 1 tablet of morphine sulfate IR 15 mg to Resident 377.

Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five sampled residents (Resident 40) with range of motion ([ROM] full movement potential of a joint) and mobility (ability to move) concerns had complete and accurate medical records by failing to:
1. Accurately indicate the Restorative Nursing Aide ([RNA] nursing aide program that helps residents to maintain their function and joint mobility) providing Resident 40's RNA services for active assistive range of motion ([AAROM] use of muscles surrounding the joint to perform the exercise but requires some help from a person or equipment) to both arms and legs and sit to stand transfers (ability to come to a standing position from sitting) on 7/2/2024, 7/3/2024, 7/4/2024, 7/15/2024, 7/16/2024, 7/17/2024, 7/18/2024, 7/22/2024, and 7/25/2024.
2. Accurately indicate the RNA providing Resident 40's RNA services for AAROM to both arms and legs on 4/15/2025.
These failures resulted in inaccurate medical records for the provision of Resident 40's RNA services, which placed Resident 40 at increased risk for developing a decline in mobility.

During a review of Resident 40's physician order, dated 10/4/2024, the physician order indicated for RNA to provide AAROM to both arms and legs, every day, five times per week as tolerated.
During a review of Resident 40's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 2/7/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 40 had clear speech, expressed ideas and wants, understood verbal content, and had intact cognition (clear ability to think, understand, learn, and remember). The MDS indicated Resident 40 had functional ROM limitations (limited ability to move a joint that interferes with daily functioning or places the resident at risk of injury) in one arm and both legs. The MDS indicated Resident 40 required setup or clean-up assistance for eating, substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half
the effort) for bathing, dressing, rolling to either side in bed, and moving from lying in bed to sitting at the side of the bed, and dependent (helper does all the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity, or the assistance of two or more helpers is required to complete the activity) for chair/bed-to-chair transfers.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/15/2025 at 9:01 a.m. with Resident 40 in the bedroom, Resident 40 was lying awake in bed with the head-of-bed (HOB) elevated and had fluent speech. Resident 40 moved both arms at the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints without any assistance. Resident 40 stated both hands used to look normal and constantly felt cold. The large knuckles of each finger on Resident 40's right-hand were observed in a bent position and unable to fully straighten. The middle joint of each finger on Resident 40s right-hand were hyperextended (joint bent inward), which caused the tip joints of each finger to slightly bend. Resident 40 bent the right-hand fingers but was unable to make a full fist. Resident 40 was observed with more active movement in the left-hand than the right-hand. Resident 40 moved the left-hand into a fist and extended the fingers. Resident 40's left-hand had minimal ROM limitations when extending the fingers, which included hyperextension of the large knuckles of the index and ring fingers, a slight bend in the middle joints of each finger, and abduction (movement away from midline) of the small finger. Resident 40 stated both hands made him feel handicapped. Resident 40 stated the RNAs performed exercises to both hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, and hands. A folded-up manual wheelchair was observed on the right side of Resident 40's bed. A FWW was also observed leaning against the wall next to Resident 40's nightstand. Resident 40 stated the facility transferred him to the wheelchair during the weekdays using a sit-to-stand mechanical lift (device used to lift a person from a sitting position to a standing position to transfer from one surface to another surface). Resident 40 stated he used to walk with the therapists from
the therapy room and down the hallway using the FWW but stated the facility did not attempt to walk with him anymore for over one year.

F 0842 During an observation on 4/15/2025 at 9:54 a.m. with Restorative Nursing Aide 2 (RNA 2), Resident 40's RNA session was observed. Resident 40 was lying awake in bed with the HOB elevated. RNA 2 lowered the Level of Harm - Minimal harm or HOB to place Resident 40's bed in a flat position. RNA 2 performed ROM exercises to both legs at the hip, potential for actual harm knee, and ankle joints. RNA 2 performed ROM exercises to Resident 40's right arm at the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and fingers. RNA 2 was unable to completely extend Resident 40's right elbow and the right fingers at Residents Affected - Few the large knuckles. RNA 2 performed ROM exercises to Resident 40's left arm at the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints. RNA 2 encouraged Resident 40 to perform active range of motion ([AROM] performance of ROM of a joint without any assistance or effort of another person) of the left hand into complete finger extension (straightening) and flexion (bending).
During an interview on 4/15/2025 at 10:16 a.m. with RNA 2, RNA 2 stated she provided ROM to both of Resident 40's arms and legs. RNA 2 stated she used to perform sit to stand transfers with Resident 40 but
the therapist (unspecified) changed Resident 40's RNA program to ROM since it was unsafe for Resident 40 to perform sit to stand.
During a review of Resident 40's Restorative Nursing record for 4/2025, the Restorative Nursing record indicated for the RNA to provide AAROM on both arms and legs, five times per week as tolerated, with a start date of 10/5/2024. The Restorative Nursing record, dated 4/15/2025, indicated Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1) signed for the provision of Resident 40's RNA services.
During an interview on 4/16/2025 at 10:57 a.m. with Resident 40, Resident 40 stated the facility did not inform him when they stopped RNA for sit to stand transfers. Resident 40 did not recall performing sit to stand transfers with the RNAs that often.
During a review of Resident 40's Restorative Nursing records for 7/2024 (RNA Record A), which the facility provided on 4/16/2025, RNA Record A indicated Resident 40 received RNA for AAROM to both arms and legs and sit to stand transfers using the FWW, four times per week. RNA Record A indicated Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1) and RNA 2 provided Resident 40 with the RNA services. RNA Record A indicated Resident 40's RNA for AAROM to both arms and legs had a start date of 12/16/2023 and a discontinue date of 10/4/2024 (three months in the future). RNA Record A indicated Resident 40's RNA for sit to stand transfers using the FWW had a start date of 4/11/2024 and a discontinue date of 10/4/2024 (three months in

This deficient practice had the potential to have reoccurring deficient practices that can impact the quality of care for the residents.
Findings:
During an interview on 4/18/2025 at 4:39p.m. with Administrator (ADM), ADM stated QAPIs are projects for areas of concern that require improvement, identify negative trends, and initiate a plan to improve the facility.
During an interview on 4/18/2025 at 4:59p.m. with ADM, ADM stated they had recently initiated a QAPI plan for skin on 4/15/2025. ADM stated weight loss and skin correlate with one another and had a discussion regarding one resident who had a pressure injury (localized damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue) sometime in February or March. ADM stated skin did not become a main focus as they have never had any skin issues. ADM stated if the issue was identified, they would QAPI it if it is wide spread, however since it was one resident that was affected, they did not think skin was wide spread. ADM stated if there were issues with wounds, they would initiate a QAPI for in house pressure ulcers (PU) (damage to the skin and underlying tissue caused by prolonged pressure on a bony prominence).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/18/2025 at 5:19p.m. with ADM, ADM stated on the QA & A minutes summaries/discussion section dated 3/13/2025, it indicated to work on weights and PU. ADM stated it was skin issues were triggered in March, discussed in March, and it should have been implemented
in March. ADM stated if there was no QAA, there would no discussions about what is happening or the negative trend in the facility.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement, revised on 9/2017, the P&P indicated the facility will establish and implement a Quality Assessment and Assurance Committee .and implement Performance Improvement Projects (PIP) through a data driven and proactive approach. The purpose of the QAPI Plan and processes is to continually assess
the facility's performance in all service areas, so that systems and processes achieve the delivery of person-centered care, and which maximizes the individual's highest practicable physical, mental, and social well-being. Committee functions include: QAPI plan, identifying and prioritizing PIPs, implementing actions to correct quality issues, and monitoring to ensure the corrective action implemented is being sustained.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 50144 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to: Residents Affected - Some a. follow transmission-based precautions (TBP) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 64) in contact isolation for clostridium difficile (C. diff- a highly contagious bacteria that causes severe diarrhea),
b. follow enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) and indwelling catheter (type of flexible tube which a clinician passes through the urethra and into the bladder to drain urine) was not touching the floor for one of three sampled residents (Resident 70), and
c. report an outbreak of C.diff to the local and state health departments.
This failure had the potential to prevent an outbreak from spreading and transmit infectious diseases placing all residents at an increased risk of infection.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 64's Admission record , the Admission record indicated Resident 64 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including pancytopenia (a condition in which there is a low level of all three types of blood cells: red blood cells (cells that transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues), white blood cells (a blood cell that helps attack infection or injury in the body), and platelets (cell fragments that play a crucial role in blood clotting), multiple myeloma ( type of blood cancer that affects plasma cells, which are white blood cells that produce antibodies to fight infections) in remission, and hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) affecting left nondominant side.
During a review of Resident 64's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 4/2/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 64 had moderate cognition (ability to learn, reason, remember, understand, and make decisions) impairment, required setup for eating and oral hygiene, required moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) for toileting and dressing, and required maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for bathing.
During a review of Resident 64's Physician Order Summary, the Order Summary indicated Resident 64 had
an order for Transmission Based Precautions: Contact. Apply PPE per protocol. Organism: C.Diff in stool every shift, ordered on 3/30/2025 and discontinued on 4/15/2025.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/14/2025 at 12:32 p.m., Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 3 observed delivering a lunch tray to Resident 64 without wearing a gown or gloves. Resident 64's family member (FM 8) was sitting next to Resident 64 without a gown or gloves.
