Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on

interview and medical record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-center care plan for to reflect the individual care needs for one of 18 sampled residents (Resident 10). * The facility failed to ensure a care plan was developed to address Resident 10's refusal of multiple aspects of his plan of care. This failure had the potential to cause inappropriate and inadequate plans of care for the resident.Findings: Medical record review for Resident 10 was initiated on 9/23/25. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED]. Review of Resident 10's H&P examination dated 4/18/25, showed Resident 10 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. Further Review of resident's medical

record showed Resident 10 was admitted with a surgical wound with sutures, which was not assessed, monitored, accurately documented or cared for until 9/2/25, at which point the wound was assessed and documented accurately, the sutures were removed and the resident began receiving wound care for other unrelated wounds that were discovered on 9/2/25. Review of Resident 10's Inter-Disciplinary Team note dated 9/2/25 at 1445 hours, showed Resident 10 refused ADL care and dialysis. On 9/23/25 at 1355 hours,

an interview was conducted with the Wound Care Nurse. The Wound Care Nurse verified Resident 10 frequently refused all aspects of his plan of care, including skin assessment, dialysis for two weeks, which ultimately required hospitalization, medications and repositioning to prevent pressure injuries. The Wound Care Nurse stated he believed the resident's wound and sutures were not discovered for four and a half months after his admission to the facility due to his refusals of care. Review of Resident 10's Wound Care Note dated 9/24/25, showed Resident 10 had been refusing wound care and dialysis necessitating hospitalization. However, review of Resident 10's plan of care failed to show a care plan problem was developed to address the resident's refusal of multiple aspects of his plan of care, including frequent refusals of dialysis, repositioning, medications and assessment of his skin and wounds. On 9/24/25 at 1130 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the DON. The DON verified there was no care plan developed to address the resident's refusal of multiple aspects of his plan of care.

The DON stated she believed the surgical wound was missed due to the resident's frequent refusal of skin assessment and care from the facility staff. The DON verified the resident's refusals should have been incorporated into the resident's plan of care. On 9/25/25 at 1000 hours, an observation and concurrent

interview was conducted with the Wound Care Nurse for Resident 10. Resident 10 was observed refusing wound care. The Wound Care Nurse stated Resident 10 had refused his medications and dialysis that morning. On 9/26/25 at 1652 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON.

interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 2. RN 2 reviewed Resident 8's medical record and verified the above findings. RN 2 stated it was important to complete the post fall followup documentation to check if there were any changes in the resident's condition. On 9/19/25 at 1452 hours

an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 3. RN 3 reviewed Resident 8's medical record and verified the resident's progress note on 9/14/25, regarding the resident's fall did not show full assessment of the resident's change in condition. RN 3 verified there were no neurological assessments, assessments for the skin, pain, and fall risk, and 72-hour post fall monitoring and documentation completed after the resident's fall incidents. In addition, RN 3 verified the physician was not notified of the fall on 9/14/25, and the resident's representative was not notified of the fall incidents on 9/14 and 9/16/25. RN 3 stated the MRD and DON checked and reviewed the documentation for completion and accuracy. On 9/22/25 at 845 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 1 for Resident 8. RN 1 stated Resident 8's unwitnessed falls were related to his behavior of getting up unassisted. However, RN 1 stated the assessments (for the pain, neurocheck, skin and post- fall risk) were still done. RN 1 stated the resident did not exactly have a fall, but the nursing staff monitored Resident 8 for getting up unassisted and the licensed nurses did not complete the follow up notes because they monitored him every day. RN 2 showed the resident's behavior monitoring record, which was incomplete. On 9/22/25 at 950 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 stated

on 9/16/25, she was told Resident 2 sustained skin tears due to a fall during shift change from the NOC shift to the day shift. LVN 2 stated she checked the resident and documented her findings in the Skin Assessment section of the resident's medical record. LVN 2 further stated she was not aware of the specifics of the fall. LVN 2 verified there was no documentation, including the COC (change of condition), IDT, post fall monitoring, and post fall assessments done addressing the resident's fall on 9/16/25. LVN 2 stated yes, when asked if there should assessments and documentation done to address the fall. On 9/22/24 at 1000 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the DON.

The DON stated Resident 8's falls were considered a behavior, and an IDT meeting in May 2025 was held to address Resident 8's fall incidents. The DON stated the plan was to monitor Resident 8's behavior of getting up unassisted and record the number of times the behavior was manifested every shift. The DON stated when Resident 8 was found on the floor, it was not considered a fall because it was a behavior. The DON added a fall was when a resident tripped and fell. The DON stated the facility only completed the progress notes and monitoring and if indicated, the neurocheck assessment for unwitnessed incidents. The DON reviewed Resident 8's medical record and verified Resident 8's medical record did not show the COC documentation, IDT notes, the assessments for the neurocheck, pain, skin and post fall, family and physician notification and the post fall monitoring for 72 hours for the resident's fall on 9/14/25 fall. In addition, the DON verified Resident 8's medical record did not show the progress notes, COC documentation, IDT notes, the assessments for the neurocheck, pain, and post fall, family notification and

the post fall monitoring for 72 hours for the resident's fall on 9/16/25. On 9/23/25 at 1507 hours, a follow up

interview was conducted with the DON. When the DON was asked what her professional definition of fall was, the DON stated, anything when the part of the body is touching the ground, it's a fall. When the DON was asked regarding Resident 8's incident of being found on the ground, if the incident was considered a fall, the DON stated yes.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way that maximizes each resident's well being. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on

observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants (CNA) had specific competencies and standard of practice skill sets needed to provide the safe and efficient nursing care to the residents as evidenced by: * Resident 10 was admitted on [DATE REDACTED], with a surgical incision with three sutures that was not assessed, monitored or had care provided from the date of admission until 9/2/25, when the wound was brought to the attention of the facility by the resident's outpatient dialysis clinic. This failure had the potential to put the Resident 10 at risk for care not provided in a safe and competent manner. Findings: Medical record review for Resident 10 was initiated on 9/23/25. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED]. Resident 10 had left pleural effusion (a buildup of fluid in the space around the lung) and left chest tube placement (a tube placed into the space around

the lung to drain the accumulated fluid) in the acute care hospital, which was removed on 4/16/25. Review of Resident 10's H&P examination dated 4/18/25, showed Resident 10 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of Resident 10's Skilled Nursing Facility Transfer Orders (from the acute care hospital) dated 4/17/25, showed Resident 10 had an incision site on the left upper lateral chest with the dressing in place. In addition, under the Wound/Skin Care section showed to follow current recommendations of the wound team for treatment and follow standard nursing protocols for wound care.

Review of Resident 10's admission Skin assessment dated [DATE REDACTED], showed the resident had a surgical incision with an intact dressing on left rear flank and present on admission. However, further review of Resident 10's medical record showed the wound was not assessed by the facility staff until 9/2/25, at which time the wound was assessed and the sutures were removed. Resident 10 required maximum assistance with all his ADL care and therefore received care from multiple licensed nurses and CNAs per each shift in

the facility. Resident 10's surgical wound was in an easily visible location on his left lateral flank and was documented on weekly progress notes as present, covered by an intact dressing and not evaluated until 9/2/25. On 9/25/25 at 1110 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with

the DSD. The DSD verified the facility's skills competencies check off for the CNAs and licensed nurses did not include the skin assessment. The DSD verified the skin assessment was a required competency for the CNAs and licensed nurses. The DSD verified multiple direct care staff per each shift from the date of admission until 9/2/25, missed to assess and accurately document the resident's surgical wound.
