a personalized, homelike setting. These characteristics include a clean, sanitary and orderly environment, clean bed and bath linens that are in good condition, and pleasant, neutral scents. The facility staff and management minimized, to the extent possible, the characteristics of the facility that reflect a depersonalized, institutional setting, including institutional odors.

Staff E pushed the lift under bed and lowered the resident into bed. In an interview on 9/10/25 at 10:45 AM, the Regional Nurse reported the spread bar needed to be out whenever a resident transferred in a mechanical lift from one surface to another.

In an interview 9/11/25 at 11:40 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) reported their policy did not have information on whether the bars on the mechanical lift should be in or out when a resident transferred in a mechanical lift. The DON reported she thought it depended on where the lift was used and where the resident was being transferred to. The resident rooms were small and the mechanical lift needed to fit in the space that the staff were going. The DON reported she expected staff to follow the manufacturer instructions for use of the mechanical lift. On 9/11/25 at 4:20 PM during exit conference, the [NAME] President of Operations reported the mechanical lifts they have at the facility did not require the legs to be out when transferred a resident, the spreader bar should be opened to get around furniture or a wheelchair.

Have a plan that describes the process for conducting QAPI and QAA activities.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm

Based on review of Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Report (CASPER) from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), staff interview, and review of the facility QAPI (Quality Assurance Performance Improvement) plan, the facility failed to ensure an effective process to address previously identified quality deficiencies. The facility reported a census of 59 residents.Findings Include:The CASPER Report for the facility identified the facility had previously received an Infection control deficiency in 2023 and 2024. A Safe, clean, and homelike environment deficiency in 2023 and 2024. At the conclusion of the complaints survey on 09/11/2025 the facility was cited again for Infection control and Homelike environment. The Facility's QAPI Plan, revised 2/05/2025, identified a monitoring process which included multiple sources of data. The QAPI Plan failed to identify a process to address previously identified quality deficiencies.Review of the QAPI minutes since 11/27/2024 identified repeat deficiencies and deficient practices from the last standard survey, but did not document follow through and showed numerous repeated issues addressed during QAPI meetings. In an interview on 09/11/2025 at 01:12 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the acting QAPI designee, she could not explain why there are repeated issues documented in the QAPI meetings, and could not explain where the follow through was documented. She stated her expectation is for the follow through to be documented and for issues to not be repeated. In that same interview, the Regional Director of Operations (RDO), she acknowledged the previous facility leadership had not followed through with the QAPI plan created due to the results of the last standard survey.
