Resident R50's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE REDACTED] documents Resident R50 is severely cognitively impaired. Resident R50 is dependent for all cares, toileting and mobility. Resident R50 is always incontinent of bowel and bladder. Resident R50's bladder incontinence care plan initiated on 6/16/25 documents the following pertinent intervention: Brief use: The resident uses extra large size disposable briefs. Change every 2-3 hours [frequency] and [as needed].

On 9/24/25 at 9:40 AM, Surveyor observed Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)-TT and CNA-SS providing morning cares to Resident R50 and transferring Resident R50 from Resident R50's bed into Resident R50's Broda chair. After completing hand hygiene, putting on a gown and gloves, CNA-TT and CNA-SS went to Resident R50's bed. Surveyor noted 2 clean briefs sitting at the end of the bed. Surveyor noted the briefs were piled one on top of the other, opened and ready to be used. Resident R50 was turned onto left side. One used brief was removed. CNA-TT completed peri-care and placed the 2 clean briefs under Resident R50. CNA-TT and CNA-SS rolled Resident R50 onto Resident R50's back and completed putting on the 2 clean briefs on Resident R50.

On 9/24/25 at 9:48 AM, Surveyor interviewed CNA-TT. Surveyor asked how often Resident R50 has Resident R50's brief changed. CNA-TT stated every 2 to 3 hours. Surveyor asked if it is common to use 2 briefs on Resident R50.

CNA-TT stated that sometimes when Resident R50 is moved, Resident R50 will urinate and that is why 2 briefs were placed

on Resident R50. Surveyor asked if Resident R50's briefs are still clean. CNA-TT looked and stated yes.

On 9/24/25 at 10:04 AM, Surveyor interviewed CNA-CCC. Surveyor asked if residents can be double briefed. CNA-CCC stated they can only be double briefed if it is part of the CNA Kardex. CNA-CCC stated some residents prefer to be double briefed and, in that case, it would be care planned and the resident's wishes would be followed.

On 9/24/25 at 10:08 AM, Surveyor interviewed Registered Nurse (RN)-LLL. Surveyor asked if resident can be double briefed. RN-LLL stated a resident can be double briefed if it is discussed and care planned ahead of time.

On 9/24/25 at 1:12 AM, Surveyor interviewed Director of Nursing (DON)-B. Surveyor asked if residents can be double briefed. DON-B stated yes, if that is their choice. Surveyor asked where that information would be documented. DON-B stated it would be documented in the resident's care plan. Surveyor informed DON-B of the concern that Surveyor observed CNA-TT and CNA-SS place Resident R50 into double briefs and Resident R50 does not have a care plan intervention to have double briefs. Surveyor asked if Resident R50 should have been double briefed. DON-B stated only if [Resident R50's power of attorney] wants that. Surveyor asked where that direction would be documented. DON-B stated in Resident R50's care plan.

Surveyor reviewed Resident R50's care plan and Kardex and did not locate an intervention directing staff to double brief Resident R50.

MD-J has been made aware of Resident R89's behaviors and it is hard to determine with dementia. MD-J stated the facility needs to rule out brain injury, complete blood work, MRI, and/or mental health treatment. MD-J stated Resident R89 should have 1:1 supervision 24 hours 7 days a week.

Surveyor shared that Resident R89's comprehensive care plan has not been assessed, developed, and implemented to meet Resident R89's needs. Surveyor shared that Resident R89's behavioral expressions may have been exacerbated by environmental triggers in an attempt to communicate an unmet need, discomfort, or thoughts that Resident R89 can no longer verbally communicate.

Surveyor shared the serious concern that the facility based on all of Resident R89's verbal, physical, and sexual incidents did not process a root/cause analysis of Resident R89's expressions in order to provide Resident R89 with the needed specialized services and supports to work with Resident R89's diagnosis of dementia. Further, the facility has not provided the specialized dementia training to all staff working the dementia unit. Staff have been unable to assess and provide appropriate dementia care to Resident R89.

Resident R11 requires supervision for eating (at time of MDS, Resident R11 was nothing by mouth (NPO), dependent for showers. Resident R11's MDS requires partial/moderate assistance for upper dressing and substantial/maximum for lower body dressing. Resident R11 is independent for mobility and transfers. Resident R11's current physician orders document: PT(physical therapy)/OT (occupational therapy)/ST (speech therapy)/RT (respiratory therapy) to evaluate and treat as indicated with an order date of 9/11/25.

Speech Therapist (ST)-PPP documented a screen was completed on 9/11/25. ST-PPP documents due to severity of disability and recommended nothing by mouth (NPO), no treatment indicated at this time.

An unsigned therapy screen completed 9/22/25 documents Resident R11 would not benefit from skilled therapy services as Resident R11 is currently at baseline with functional mobility. Resident R11 has demonstrated aggressive behaviors, limiting Resident R11's participation and proving unsafe for therapy.

Surveyor notes that therapy disciplines did not attempt to screen Resident R11 again for rehabilitation services and relied only on previous documentation of therapy disciplines.

Surveyor shared that OT, PT, and ST screens were completed based on documentation only and not actually physically re-assessing after re-admission to the facility after

a lengthy hospitalization. Surveyor shared given the number of falls Resident R11 continues to have, it is concerning that OT and PT have not been involved with new interventions to prevent Resident R11 from falling. No further information has been provided by the facility at this time as to why there was a delay in completing therapy screens.

On 9/29/2025, at 10:25 AM, Therapy Director-VV stated that typically there should not be a delay. Therapy Director-VV does not know who ordered therapy services on 9/11/25.

NHA-A stated that had NHA-A had the statements from staff, NHA-A would have reported. Surveyor shared

the serious concern that once an allegation of abuse is reported, there is an obligation for the facility to report the allegation of abuse and complete a thorough investigation. NHA-A stated, if people would just tell me the truth. I don't get why people would not be honest. I can't help that staff lie, what can I do when they lie?On 9/2/25, at 3:06 PM, Anon-Q informed Surveyor that Anon-Q had been suspended upon arriving for shift today. Anon-Q asked Social Worker (SW)-E, why, for telling the truth? Anon-Q stated, I did nothing wrong. They always fire people. I feel defeated. You can't report anything. I know I am going to get fired.

Surveyor notes that Anon-Q was crying during the interview.Surveyor notes that six allegations of abuse reported by staff on the dementia unit were not reported and thoroughly investigated. Staff no longer are confident in reporting allegations of abuse and fear retaliation by administration. Staff do not feel trained to adequately provide care and services to the residents on the dementia unit and do not feel supported by administration to provide person-centered interventions.The failure of administration to ensure the building was administered in a manner that enabled it to use its resources effectively and efficiently to attain or maintain the highest practicable level of physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident created a situation of Immediate Jeopardy.

the main entrance, and 1 located at that back door by the dumpsters. Maintenance director-DD stated that

the pest control company was not contacted because the flies were no more than what there usually are in

the facility.
