Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident.

Based on record review and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to notify an attending physician when there were documented changes in a Resident's condition. This was evident for 1 (#69) out of 15 Residents reviewed for Abuse.The findings include:A review of a facility-reported incident (#337746) revealed an allegation of Abuse made by Resident #69.A continued review revealed that staff #8, a licensed practical nurse (LPN), had reported to Resident #69's representative on 4/6/25 that the Resident was more confused and agitated today. The nurse continued to report that Resident #69 had thrown [his/her] dinner tray at her. However, the review failed to show that Resident #69's attending provider was notified of the change in behavior. In an interview on 8/28/2025 at 4:33 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that the change in Resident #69's behavior on 4/6/25 was considered a change in condition and, therefore, expected a change in condition assessment form to be completed and notification of Resident #69's attending provider of the change. However, an earlier record review failed to show that staff #8 completed a change in condition assessment for Resident #69 and notified his/her attending provider of the change in behavior.During a subsequent interview on 8/29/2025, at 8:10 AM, the DON verbalized understanding of

the concern regarding the failure to report a change in Resident #69's behavior to his/her provider.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm

Based on review of the facility's abuse policy and interview it was determine that the facility failed to ensure

the abuse policy addressed all the required components. This was found to be evident for the one abuse policy and has the potential to affect all the residents.The findings include: This regulation was written to provide protections for the health, welfare and rights of each resident residing in the facility. In order to provide these protections, the facility must develop written policies and procedures to prohibit and prevent abuse, neglect, exploitation of residents, and misappropriation of resident property. These written policies must include, but are not limited to, the following components: Screening; Training ; Prevention; Investigation; Protection; and Reporting/response. On 8/26/25 review of the abuse policy, that was provided to the survey team at the start of the survey, failed to reveal a date that it was initiated or reviewed. On 8/26/25 at 10:43 AM the nursing home administrator (NHA) confirmed this was the abuse policy that is provided to staff. The policy included definitions of physical, sexual and verbal abuse, neglect and exploitation and included a list of some physical, behavioral and social signs of abuse. The policy failed to address misappropriation of resident property. The policy failed to address abuse prevention or training of staff. The policy failed to address coordination with the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement program. In regard to reporting abuse the policy stated: In the event that anyone in the facility (employee, visitor, family member, service provider, etc) has evidence or credible cause to believe that a resident has been subject to any or all of the above types of abuse, that person with knowledge is strongly encouraged to report in good faith all allegations, suspicions, or incidents to an administrative staff member, the Ombudsman or to the State officials as posted in the facility. A report may be made either in written or oral form should contain as much information as the reporter is able to provide Allegations of abuse and neglect will be reported to the Administrator within 24 hours of the allegation (8 hours for Washington DC) and initial report to the state agencies will be completed as per regulation. Federal regulation requires that allegations of abuse are reported immediately, but not later than 2 hours after the allegation is made, to the NHA and other officials. Cross reference to F 609. The policy failed to address prohibiting and preventing retaliation for reporting suspected abuse. On 8/26/25 at 1:00 PM observations made throughout the facility, including employee break areas, failed to reveal posted signage of employee rights related to retaliation against the employee for reporting a suspected crime. On 8/26/25 at 1:18 PM the NHA confirmed they do not have this specific signage posted in the facility. On 8/26/25 at 1:18 PM surveyor reviewed the concern with the NHA that the facility's abuse policy does not include all of the components required by the regulation.

Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, it was determined that the facility failed to provide residents/representatives with a copy of their baseline care plan, which included a summary of the Resident's medication. This was evident for 2 (#14, #83) of 43 residents reviewed during the recertification survey.The findings include:A baseline care plan is a document that outlines initial instructions for providing care to a resident in a long-term care facility, typically developed within 48 hours of admission. In addition to the baseline care plan, residents are also expected to receive a list of their admission medications. This allows residents and their representatives to be more informed about the care that they receive. 1) In an interview on 8/19/2025, at 8:49 AM, Resident #14's representative stated that he had not received

a copy of the Resident's baseline care plan, including a list of his/her medications.

A record review on 8/21/2025, at 10:52 AM, showed that Resident #14 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED]. A continued review revealed that a baseline care plan dated 8/6/25 for Resident #14 had been initiated but was not completed. The review also contained another baseline care plan, dated 8/8/25, for Resident #14 that had been started and marked as complete, but was missing the staff and representative's signatures.

In an interview with the director of nursing on 8/21/2025, at 2:24 PM, she reported that there was no documentation to show that a copy of Resident #14's baseline care plan, including a list of his/her medications, was given to the representative. 2) Resident #83 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED], for therapy following a hospitalization. Review of complaint #337726 revealed a concern that the first care plan meeting was held 15 days following admission, and this meeting was the first time the level of care required was communicated to the family.

Review of the Baseline Care Plan, signed as completed by the registered dietician (RD#) and nurse #12, revealed the resident was cognitively impaired and confused. Further review of the Baseline Care Plan revealed that a copy was given to the resident on 5/9/24. The area of the form to document the resident representative's signature was noted to be blank. Further review of the medical record failed to reveal documentation to indicate that a copy of the baseline care plan was provided to the resident's representative.

Further review of the medical record revealed a note written by the Social Service Director (SSD #1) on 5/23/24, which revealed the interdisciplinary team met with the resident and the family on that date for admission care plan meeting.

On 8/26/25, at 3:37 PM, when asked who provides the baseline care plan, the Social Service Director (SSD #1) reported she believed nursing does.On 8/26/25, at 5:34 PM, the surveyor reviewed the concern with the Director of Nursing (DON) that the family had not been provided a copy of the baseline care plan. DON reported it was provided to the resident.

As of the time of survey exit on 8/29/25, no documentation was provided to indicate that the baseline care plan had been provided to the family.

No documentation was found in the care plan in regard to facilitating the identification of an appropriate discharge location or assisting with obtaining needed supplies or services upon discharge. On 8/29/2025 at 10:05 AM surveyor reviewed the concern with the Director of Nursing (DON) that the resident's care plan for discharge on ly included that staff would discuss discharge needs with the family. DON acknowledged

the concern.

Cross reference to F 628 3) Resident #76 was admitted to the facility in January 2025. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, with an assessment date of 1/19/25, revealed that the resident was occasionally incontinent of urine. Review of the Care Area Assessment (CAA) Summary section of the MDS revealed the care area of urinary incontinence had triggered and a decision was made to address urinary incontinence in a care plan. Review of the care plans for Resident #76 failed to reveal incontinence was addressed in a care plan. On 8/25/25 at 3:51 PM the Director of Nursing (DON) reported that, in regard to the CAAs, the idea is to set the care plan up for whatever the trigger is. Surveyor reviewed

the concern that the CAA indicated a care plan would be developed to address urinary incontinence, but none was found. The DON confirmed that she did not see a care plan addressing the urinary incontinence.

A care plan is a guide that addresses each Resident's unique needs. It is used to plan, assess, and evaluate the effectiveness of the Resident's care. Staff utilize care plans to provide resident-centered care that includes support, services, and resources tailored to address each Resident's specific needs.

The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is a federally mandated assessment tool that nursing home staff use to gather information on each Resident's strengths and needs. The information collected drives resident care planning decisions.

This deficient practice has the potential to affect all residents. The findings include:A review of complaint #337742 revealed an allegation that the meals delivered to the residents did not match what was stated on

the menu.While observing the breakfast tray line on 8/26/2025, at 7:39 AM, the surveyor requested a test tray. The tray contained a meal ticket for Resident #46. The listed food items on the meal ticket to be served to Resident #46 were: 3 oz biscuit with sausage gravy, 6 oz Cheerios, 6 oz orange Juice, 8 oz 2% milk, one bottle of water, pepper, and two packets of sugar.However, continued observation failed to show that Resident #46's tray contained the portion sizes listed on the meal ticket for the resident's Cheerios and orange juice. Staff #23, the Dietary Director, was present and asked about the portion size for the Cheerios and orange juice. Staff #23 measured the Cheerios with a 6 0z measuring spoon and said it was 5 oz instead of 6oz. Staff #23 also measured the orange juice with a measuring cup and said it was 4.5 oz instead of 6 oz.In an interview, Staff #23 stated that before the surveyor's intervention, his staff was not aware that the cup they served residents' juice with was not an 8-oz cup but a 4.5-oz cup. Staff continued to state he would place an order for the right size of cups. Staff #23 verbalized understanding regarding the concern of not serving Resident #46 the correct portion size as noted on his/her meal ticket.
