observations, residents and staff interviews, the facility failed to fill the gaps around the packaged terminal air conditioners (PTACs) to separate the exterior environment from the interior of the residents' rooms and failed to secure the seal around the PTACs (rooms #108, #110, #135, #151) for 4 of 8 rooms on 3 of 4 halls reviewed for homelike environment. The findings included:a. An observation conducted on 9/12/25 at 9:32 AM in room [ROOM NUMBER] revealed the PTAC unit did not align against the wall and there was an approximately one-inch gap across the top of PTAC unit where the remaining insulation was observed to be

in a crumbled condition. Through the gap daylight from the exterior of the building was visible from the interior of the resident room.b. An observation conducted on 9/12/25 at 9:43 AM in room [ROOM NUMBER] revealed the PTAC unit did not align with the wall across the top of the unit. The PTAC unit stuck out approximately one inch from the wall which created a gap where the resident room was not sealed from the outside. Through the gap daylight from the exterior of the building was visible from the interior of the resident room. c. An observation conducted on 9/12/2025 at 9:48 AM in room [ROOM NUMBER] revealed there was a two-inch gap across the top of the PTAC unit and the wall. The PTAC unit was not aligned with

the wall and the top portion of the unit leaned inwards towards the room. There was a large open area on

the right side of the unit where the unit was not sealed to the wall. There were wet, soiled towels and sheets at the time of the observation with brown stains on them, present underneath the PTAC unit. d. An

observation on 9/12/25 at 9:58 AM in room [ROOM NUMBER] revealed the PTAC unit had a two-inch gap across the top of the unit and the wall. The insulation in the gap was observed to be crumbled as evidenced by smaller pieces of the insulation in the vicinity of main piece of insulation. A second observation of rooms 108, 110, 135, and 151 and facility tour with the Maintenance Director, Regional Maintenance Director, and

the Administrator occurred on 9/12/25 at 10:58 AM. The PTAC unit placement in each resident room remained unchanged from the first observation. The Maintenance Director, Regional Maintenance Director and the Administrator explained they were not aware of the PTAC unit gaps in rooms 108, 110, 135, or 151.

During the facility tour, the Regional Maintenance Director indicated the PTAC unit electrical cords had been replaced recently and the PTAC units were removed from the wall and put back into place. The PTAC units had a middle, top and bottom screw attachment and after the plugs were replaced, only the middle screws were secured when the units were re-installed. The Regional Maintenance Director indicated the PTAC unit in room [ROOM NUMBER] was leaning to the point that water was leaking form the unit and that was why there were towels and sheets underneath the PTAC unit.An interview with the Administrator on 9/12/25 at 11:15 AM revealed she expected the PTAC units to be installed correctly in residents' rooms and that the Maintenance staff would make the repairs in the appropriate rooms.

A phone interview on 9/11/25 at 3:42 PM with the appointment scheduler at the gastroenterologist’s office revealed Resident #97 had an appointment on 1/15/25 at 11:00 AM and no one showed up for the appointment or had called to cancel it. She indicated Resident #97 did not have any other appointments scheduled with their office.

An interview with the facility Transportation Scheduler on 9/15/25 at 1:39 PM revealed he did not schedule appointments for residents but did schedule transportation to appointments. He indicated his process was to look through the facility appointment book daily and make transportation arrangements for residents who had appointments scheduled. The Transportation Scheduler did not recall Resident #97, did not recall making transportation arrangements for her to attend her appointment on 1/15/25 and did not know why

she didn’t get scheduled for transportation. The Transportation Scheduler indicated that if he saw an appointment in the book with EMS written beside it, he didn’t do anything as he didn’t schedule for EMS transportation and did not know who was supposed to be doing the scheduling for EMS transportation. He further voiced he transported residents to dialysis appointments in the facility van and used contracted transportation services for all other appointments.

An attempt made on 9/16/25 at 11:11 AM to speak with former Social Worker #2 who was employed at the time of the missed appointment on 1/15/25 was unsuccessful.

An interview on 9/17/25 at 11:28 AM with the former Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) who was the ADON at the time of the missed appointment and the current Director of Nursing revealed she recalled Resident #97 but did not recall any issues with her feeding tube and didn’t know why she was not scheduled for transportation to her appointment. She indicated the Social Worker would make appointments for residents and write them in the appointment book and the Transportation Scheduler would make the necessary transportation arrangements.

A phone interview with the Administrator on 9/15/25 at 3:46 PM She indicated she was not the administrator at the time of Resident #97’s missed appointment on 1/15/25 but her expectation was residents would have transportation scheduled to not miss appointments.

An interview was conducted on [DATE REDACTED] at 5:45 PM with NA #5. NA #5 reported while using a mechanical lift and transferring residents, the base of mechanical lift should be widened as needed for the size of the chair and the wheels to the mechanical lift should be locked.

An interview was completed on [DATE REDACTED] at 6:06 PM with the East Unit Manager.

securement device to his left leg to secure urinary catheter tubing. An interview was completed with Wound Nurse on 09/11/2025 at 3:46 PM. The Wound Nurse stated she had been assigned to Resident #5 in past and was only assigned to complete Resident #5's wound care for 09/10/2025. The Wound Nurse reported that the assigned nurse for Resident #5 should obtain a urinary securement device from Central Supply and apply to Resident #5. An interview was completed with Nurse Aide (NA) #3 on 09/10/2025 at 3:45 PM.

NA #3 confirmed he was assigned to Resident #5 and reported he would empty urine collection bags

during his rounds every 2 hours and would empty urine bag prior to transferring Resident #5 to avoid extra tension pulling on Resident #5's catheter tubing. NA #3 stated he had not noticed a securement device for Resident #5's catheter tubing and just made sure the urinary catheter tubing was not pulling on Resident #5's urinary opening. An interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) was conducted on 9/11/2025 at 2:40 PM. The DON reported she began working at the facility in October 2024 and 9/10/2025 was her first day as DON. The DON stated that the nurse aides should empty the urinary bags when they round every 2 hours and at the end of the shift. The nurses were expected to follow the medical orders and care plans.

The DON stated that since Resident #5 had an order and care plan for a catheter anchor/securement device, the nurse should have placed the anchor or delegated to a nurse aide to place the anchor on Resident #5. A phone interview with Nurse Practitioner #1 was completed on 9/15/25 at 5:13 pm. Nurse Practitioner #1 stated Resident #5 was followed by urology for chronic urinary tract infections (UTI) and neurogenic bladder. Nurse Practitioner stated Resident #5 had not had urinary device dislodgement since

she began working with the resident January 2025. A phone interview was completed with the Medical Director on 09/16/2025 at 11:31 AM. The Medical Director stated that he wrote an order for catheter leg anchor because it was best practice to have a urinary securement device to prevent injury to urethra and prevent the urinary catheter from becoming dislodged when Resident #5 was repositioned. The Medical Director reported that a full urinary bag would add more tension to the urinary catheter tubing that could add to the potential for trauma and the potential for stagnant urine to backflow into the bladder.

roaches in numbers too numerous to count. Resident #66 indicated he had seen lots of small bugs near his bed. An interview with the Pest Control Technician on 9/11/25 at 11:16 AM revealed the company he worked for was contracted to provide services at the facility twice a month and when there were call-backs for pest sightings in between those visits. He indicated on each of the two monthly visits he would spray the common areas, kitchen, and office areas and check the rodent bait traps around the exterior of the facility.

He stated he sprayed the resident rooms on the East hallway rooms one visit, and the resident rooms on

the [NAME] hallway the next visit. He indicated spraying a room included spraying the bathroom, under beds, dressers, nightstands, and under the PTAC unit. The Pest Control Technician stated there were gaps

in the seals around the PTAC units in almost all the resident rooms that would allow pests to enter the building, so he placed glue traps under the PTAC units. He indicated the seal around the front door was compromised and a door sweep strip affixed to this door would help fix to keep bugs out. He revealed the main pest problems at the facility were palmetto bugs (cockroaches) and water bugs. An interview on 9/11/2025 at 1:58 PM with the Regional Director of Maintenance revealed he had only been assigned to the facility for about two months. He indicated the pest control company came bi-weekly and sprayed half the resident rooms visit and the other resident rooms on the next visit, the common areas, and kitchen were always sprayed every visit. He believed the roach problem was based on bugs coming indoors more as the weather was getting cooler and stated the facility did not have any issues with flies. The Regional Director of Maintenance revealed there were no fly traps at the front doors because there were a double set of doors that kept flies out. On 9/11/2025 at 2:12 PM an interview with the Maintenance Director revealed he had not seen roaches or flies in the facility. He indicated each visit the pest control company would spray

the common areas, offices, kitchen, and one of the two resident hallways alternating on each visit. The Maintenance Director revealed he had been talking with management about having an air curtain (fan-powered device that creates an invisible air barrier over a doorway) installed on the front door, but no decision had been made yet. He indicated he was not familiar with the gaps around the PTAC units. An

interview on 9/12/2025 at 5:46 PM with the Administrator revealed she had been monitoring pest activity in

the facility and was concerned about the effectiveness of their current pest control efforts. She indicated

she planned to assess the services of their current pest control provider and ask what else needed to be done to better control the pests in and around the facility and do something different.
