The RD further stated he spoke with Resident 17 on 2/13/26 and on 2/17/26 there was an IDT meeting regarding Resident 17's weight loss. When asked how often an IDT meeting should be conducted for Resident 17's weight loss, the RD stated it should have been done weekly. On 2/24/26 at 1622 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 17 was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 stated if a resident lost more than 2 lbs. a week, the process was to alert the physician and the RD. RN 1 further stated a weight loss greater than 5 lbs. was considered a change in condition and the dietitian and electronic medical record should have alerted the physician. On 2/25/26 at 1029 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 17 was conducted with the DON. If a resident had a significant weight loss the licensed nurse should contact the physician. Furthermore, the DON stated when a significant weight loss was reported, there should be an IDT meeting regarding the resident's weight. The DON verified there was no IDT meeting or change in condition document regarding Resident 17's weight loss on 1/21/26. The DON stated the 5 lb. weight loss should have been addressed. The DON was informed and acknowledged the above findings.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the appropriate care and services for one of one final sampled residents (Resident 5) reviewed for indwelling urinary catheter (flexible tube inserted into the bladder to continuously drain urine into an external collection bag). * The facility failed to monitor Resident 5's urinary output per the resident's plan of care. This failure had the potential for the resident to develop indwelling urinary catheter related complications. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Planning revised 4/2025 showed the facility IDT will develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered and culturally competent care plan for each resident and will include each resident's needs identified in the comprehensive assessment. Medical record review for Resident 5 was initiated on 2/22/26. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 5's H&P examination dated 12/30/25, showed Resident 5 had the capacity to understand and make his own medical decisions. Review of Resident 5's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 12/30/25, for an indwelling urinary catheter size #16 Fr to gravity drainage bag for obstructive uropathy (blockage in the urinary tract that prevents urine flow) related to urinary retention (unable to empty the bladder). Review of Resident 5's plan of care showed a care plan problem dated 2/10/26 and revised 2/23/26, addressing Resident 5's indwelling urinary catheter use. The interventions included to monitor the intake and output of the indwelling urinary catheter. However, further review of Resident 5's medical record failed to show the fluid output was monitored and documented for Resident 5. On 2/24/26 at 0850 hours, an interview for Resident 5 was conducted with CNA 2. CNA 2 stated she would empty Resident 5's urinary drainage bag and report the color and amount of urine collected from the drainage bag to the LVN. CNA 2 further stated she did not document the resident's fluid output because the LVN would chart the fluid output of the resident. On 2/24/26 at 1410 hours, an interview and concurrent observation was conducted with Resident 5. Resident 5 was observed lying in bed and the indwelling urinary catheter drainage bag was hanging on the right side of the bed. Resident 5 stated he had an indwelling urinary catheter because his enlarged prostate caused urinary retention. On 2/24/26 at 1423 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 5 was conducted with LVN 5. LVN 5 stated monitoring for the fluid intake and output was not necessary unless there was a physician's order. When asked what should be monitored for the residents with an indwelling urinary catheter, LVN 5 stated she would check for any leakage, clarity of the urine, and patency by checking if there was urine in the drainage bag. When asked if the CNAs would report the fluid output to the LVN, LVN 5 stated yes, but stated the LVNs did not have to document the fluid output. On 2/24/26 at 1622 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 5 was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 stated Resident 5 had an indwelling urinary catheter for urinary retention. When asked what should be monitored for the residents with an indwelling urinary catheter, RN 1 stated the treatment nurse would check for inflammation at the insertion point, clarity of the urine, and the resident should be producing 30 ml an hour of urine. When asked if the facility monitored the fluid intake and output for the residents with an indwelling catheter, RN 1 stated no and that monitoring for the luid intake and output was done in the acute care hospital setting. RN 1 stated the facility staff members monitored for urinary retention by using the bladder scanner (a non-invasive portable ultrasound device used to measure bladder volume). However, RN 1 stated the residents' care plans should be followed. RN 1 reviewed Resident 5's care plan for the use of an indwelling urinary catheter and stated the intervention for monitoring intake and output was entered inappropriately because the facility staff members did not monitor the fluid output. On 2/24/26 at 1638 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 5 was conducted with the DON. The DON was asked if the facility monitored the fluid intake and output, the DON stated yes, but the facility would just document if the resident urinated. When asked where it was documented, the DON stated the fluid output should be documented under the Tasks - Fluid Output or Tasks - Bladder Continence in Resident 5's medical record. The DON reviewed the tasks summaries in Resident 5's medical record, however, the resident's medical record failed to show if the fluid output was monitored and documented for Resident 5. The DON verified there was no fluid output being monitored and documented for Resident 5. On 2/25/26 at 1029 hours, a follow up interview was conducted for Resident 5 with the DON. The DON stated Resident 5 had an indwelling urinary catheter due to urinary retention. The DON stated the fluid output should be monitored to ensure the resident was not retaining urine.
Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services status post fall for one of 15 final sampled residents (Resident 82) and dietary services for one non-sampled resident (Resident 40) in accordance to the facility's P&P. * The facility failed to complete the physical assessment, obtain the vital signs and perform the neuro checks post fall incident for Resident 82. In addition, the facility failed to monitor Resident 82's blood pressure and heart rate prior to the administration of sacubitril-valsartan (a medication used to treat chronic heart failure) and complete a fall risk assessment correctly. * The facility failed to provide Magic Cup (a nutritional supplement) to Resident 40 as ordered by the physician. These failures posed a risk for the residents to not receive the appropriate care and could negatively affect the residents' health and well-being and potentially contributed to Resident 82's death. Findings: 1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Fall Management System revised 4/2025 showed it is the policy of this facility to provide an environment that remains as free of accident hazards as possible. It is also the policy of this facility to provide each resident with appropriate assessment and interventions to prevent falls and to minimize complications if a fall occurs. The Procedure section included when a resident sustains a fall, a physical assessment will be completed by a licensed nurse, with results documented in the medical record.a. The attending physician and resident representative shall be notified of the fall and the resident status. b. Follow-up documentation will be completed for a minimum of 72 hours following the incident.c. A Fall Risk Evaluation will be completed post fall incident. Review of the facility's P&P titled Acute Changes in Condition - Clinical Protocol revised October 2010 showed the following:- As a part of the initial assessment, the physician will help identify individuals with a significant risk for having acute changes of condition during their stay; In addition, the nurse shall assess and document/report the following baseline information: a. Vital signs; b. Neurological status; c. Current level of pain, and any recent changes in pain level; d. Level of consciousness; e. Cognitive and emotional status; f. Resident's age and sex; g. Onset, duration, severity; h. Recent labs; i. History of psychiatric disturbances, mental illness, depression, etc.; J. All active diagnoses; and k. All current medications; - Before contacting a physician about someone with an acute change of condition, the nursing staff will make pertinent observations and collect appropriate information to report to the physician.phone calls to attending physician should be made by adequately prepared nurse who has collected pertinent information, including the resident's current symptoms and status;- The nursing staff will contact the Physician based on the urgency of the situation; and- The nurse and physician will discuss the situation and the physician should ask questions to clarify the situation; for example, vital signs, physical findings, and description of symptoms. Review of the facility's P&P titled Neurological Assessment revised October 2010, showed neurological assessment are indicated: 1) upon physician order; 2) when following an unwitnessed fall; 3) subsequent to a fall with a suspected head injury; or 4) when indicated by resident condition. When assessing the neurological status, always include frequent vital signs. Particular attention should be paid to widening pulse pressure (difference between systolic and diastolic pressures). This may be indicative of increasing intracranial pressure (ICP), and any change in vital signs or /neurological status in a previously stable resident should be reported to the physician immediately. The Neurological Assessment P&P further showed the Steps in the Procedure included to take the temperature, pulse, respirations and blood pressure and the Documentation section showed the following information should be recorded in the resident's medical record:1. The date and time the procedure was performed; 2. The name and title of the individual(s) who performed the procedure;3. All assessment data obtained during the procedure;4. How the resident tolerated the procedure;5. If the resident refused the procedure, the reason(s) why and the intervention taken; and6. The signature and title of the person recording the data. Review of the facility's P&P titled Charting and Documentation revised 4/2008 showed all services provided to the resident, or any changes in the resident's medical or mental condition, shall be documented in the resident's medical record; all observations, medication administered, services performed, etc. must be documented in the resident's clinical records; and all incidents, accidents, or changes in the resident's condition must be recorded. Medical record review for Resident 82 was initiated on 2/22/26. Resident 82 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 82's H&P examination dated 2/22/25, showed the resident lacks the capacity to make decisions. Review of Resident 82's Order Summary Report dated 2/22/25, showed the following physician's orders:* dated 2/21/26, to administer the following:- apixaban (a blood thinner) 5 mg tablet by mouth two times a day;- empagliflozin (used to lower blood sugar) 10 mg tablet by mouth one time a day;- furosemide (a diuretic) 40 mg tablet by mouth one time a day;- memantine hydrochloride (decreases abnormal activity in the brain) 5 mg tablet every 12 hours, discontinued on 1/23/26;- carvedilol (an antihypertensive) 6.25 mg tablet by mouth two times a day;- quetiapine fumarate (an antipsychotic medication) 25 mg tablet by mouth at bedtime, discontinued on 1/23/26;- sacubitril-valsartan (a medication used to treat chronic heart failure) 24-25 mg tablet by mouth every 12 hours, to hold if the systolic blood pressure is less than 110 mmHg and heart rate less than 60 beats per minute; and- spironolactone (a diuretic) 25 mg tablet, give half tablet by mouth one time a day, to hold if the systolic blood pressure is less than 110 mmHg and heart rate less than 60 beats per minute .* dated 2/22/26, to administer the following:- clonidine hydrochloride (an antihypertensive) 0.1 mg tablet by mouth one time a day;- clonidine hydrochloride (an antihypertensive) 0.1 mg tablet by mouth every 8 hours as needed for a systolic blood pressure greater than 150 mmHg; and- trazadone hydrochloride (an antidepressant) 25 mg by mouth every 24 hours as needed for inability to sleep. a. Review of Resident 82's eInteract SBAR Communication Notes dated 2/23/26 at 2010 hours, showed the resident had a fall. The documented vital signs were blood pressure = 157/86 mmHg, pulse rate = 65 beats per minute, respiration rate = 18 breaths per minute, and temperature = 97.2 degrees Fahrenheit. The evaluation for Resident 82's behavior, respiratory, cardiovascular, abdominal or gastrointestinal, genitourinary, skin evaluation, pain and neurological evaluations were marked not clinically applicable to the change in condition being reported. The notes further showed the physician was notified with no new orders. Review of Resident 82's Weight and Vitals Summary showed the following documented vital sign:- dated 2/23/26 at 1802 hours, the blood pressure was 157/85 mmHg;- dated 2/23/26 at 2003 hours, the temperature was 97.2 degrees Fahrenheit;- dated 2/23/26 at 1802 hours, the pulse rate was 65 beats per minute; and- dated 2/23/26 at 0825 hours, the respiration rate was 18 breaths per minute. Further review of the Weights and Vitals Summary failed to show the vital signs were obtained on 2/23/26 after Resident 82 had a fall incident. Review of Resident 82's Nursing Progress Notes showed the following:- dated 2/23/26 at 2011 hours, the resident was found sitting on the floor mat next to his bed.- dated 2/23/26 at 2213 hours, at around 2140 hours, Resident 82 was found unresponsive, the code status was checked, the resident was DNR, and the vital signs were checked and were non-recordable. The note further showed another nurse assess the vital signs and were still non-recordable.- dated 2/23/26 at 2218 hours, the post mortem care was rendered, and Resident 82's responsible party was informed of the resident's passing. Further review of Resident 82's Progress Notes failed to show Resident 82 was monitored after the fall. In addition, review of Resident 82's medical records failed to show a physician's order and documentation for the neuro-check monitoring after the fall. On 2/24/26 at 1111 hours, an interview and a concurrent record review for Resident 82 was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 reviewed Resident 82's eInteract SBAR Notes dated 2/23/26 at 2010 hours and verified those vital signs were taken prior to Resident 82's fall. RN 1 stated the vital signs should have been taken after the resident's unwitnessed fall. RN 1 acknowledge the body system assessments in SBAR should have been completed after the resident's unwitnessed fall to determine if there was an injury or changes in the resident's condition. In addition, RN 1 stated for the residents with unwitnessed fall the facility would start the neuro-checks. RN 1 stated the neuro-check form would be in the chart. However, review of Resident 1's paper chart failed to show the neuro-check form. On 2/24/26 at 1141 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated on 2/23/26 around 2000 hours, he saw resident sitting up next to his bed. LVN 1 stated he took the vital signs and documented the readings on the fall precaution sheet which was given to the nurse on the next shift. LVN 1 stated he did not assess for pain although the resident did not complain of any pain. When asked if he performed an assessment of Resident 82 after the fall, LVN 1 responded he checked the resident's hand grips. LVN 1 stated he notified the physician of Resident 82's fall and the physician responded with no new order. LVN 1 stated he did not discuss with the physician the medications Resident 82 was taking. On 2/24/26 at 1517 hours, a follow-up interview and concurrent record review for Resident 82 was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated he does not remember the last time he saw the resident prior to the incident of fall. LVN 1 stated he wrote the resident's vital signs in the neuro-check form. Review of the narcotic book where the neuro-check forms were located was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 checked the narcotic book; however, failed to locate a neuro-check form for Resident 82. On 2/24/26 at 1532 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 stated she assisted LVN 1 to put Resident 82 back to bed after the fall. LVN 2 stated he did not ask if Resident 82 had any pain. LVN 2 further stated she did not assess the resident. LVN 2 stated she left Resident 82 and LVN 1 in the room after Resident 82 was put back to bed. On 2/24/26 at 1545 hours, an interview and concurrent record review for Resident 82 was conducted with LVN 3. LVN 3 stated LVN 1 reported Resident 82 fell; however, LVN 3 stated he did not assess Resident 82 as the resident was already back in bed. LVN 3 stated the vital signs after the fall should have been reflected on the resident's eInteract SBAR. LVN 3 stated for the residents on anticoagulant medication who had an unwitnessed fall, the facility would usually call the paramedics. On 2/25/26 at 0928 hours an interview and concurrent record review for Resident 82 was conducted with the DON. The DON verified Resident 82's vital signs in the SBAR form were not taken after the resident had a fall. The DON acknowledged the vital signs should have been taken and documented after the resident's fall. DON verified Resident 82's evaluation section for Behavior, Respiratory, Cardiovascular, Abdominal or Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary, Skin Evaluation, Pain and Neurological evaluations were marked as not clinically applicable to the change in condition being reported. The DON stated she will discuss the documentation with LVN 1. When asked if the facility conducted a neuro-check on Resident 82, the DON stated there was a neuro-check completed for Resident 82. The DON called the Medical Records Assistant over the speaker phone to obtain the resident's neuro-check form. The Medical Records Assistant responded she gave the form to LVN 1, for LVN 1 to complete; however, the form was not returned to her. The DON verified there was no neuro-check for Resident 82. On 2/25/26 at 1007 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and the DON. The Administrator and the DON was informed of the findings as above. b. Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Administration (undated) showed the medications will be administered as prescribed by the physician and will only by persons lawfully authorized to do so. Medications are administered in accordance with the written orders of the attending physician. Review of Resident 82's Order Summary Report showed a physician's orders dated 2/21/26, to administer sacubitril-valsartann24-25 mg tablet by mouth every 12 hours, and to hold if the systolic blood pressure was less than 110 mmHg and heart rate was less than 60 beats per minute. Review of Resident 82's MAR for February 2026 showed the sacubitril-valsartan 24-25 mg medication was administered on 2/22/26 at 2100 hours, and 2/23/26 at 2100 hours. However, the MAR failed to show if Resident 82's blood pressure and heart rate reading was obtained prior to the administration of the sacubitril-valsartan medication. Further review of Resident 82's medical records failed to show a blood pressure and heart rate was obtained prior to the administration of sacubitril-valsartan medication on 2/2/26 and 2/23/26. On 2/25/26 at 0856 hours, an interview and a concurrent record review for Resident 82 was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 verified the physician's orders dated 2/21/26, showed to administer sacubitril-valsartan 24-25 mg tablet by mouth every 12 hours, and to hold if the systolic blood pressure was less than 110 mmHg and if the heart rate was less than 60 beats per minute. RN 1 verified Resident 82's medical record failed to show the blood pressure and heart rate were obtained prior to the administration of sacubitril-valsartan 24-25 mg tablet on 2/22/26 at 2100 hours, and 2/22/26 at 2100 hours. On 2/25/26 at 1008 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator and DON was informed and acknowledged the above findings. c.

The medication section indicated Resident 86 was taking 1-2 of those medications. On 2/24/26 at 1111 hours, an interview and a concurrent record review for Resident 82 was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 verified Resident 18's Order Summary Report showed the resident was taking eight medications listed in the Fall Risk Evaluation. However, the medication section of Resident 89's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 2/21/26, indicated Resident 82 was only taking 1-2 of those medications. On 2/25/26 at 0928 hours an interview and concurrent record review for Resident 82 was conducted with the DON. The DON verified Resident 89's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 2/21/26, the Medication section indicated Resident 82 was taking 1-2 of the medications; however, Resident 82 was taking eight medications based on the classification listed. 2. Review of facility's P&P titled Diet Orders (undated) showed the diet orders as prescribed by the physician will be provided by the Food & Nutrition Services Department. The Procedure section showed any discrepancy in the diet slip will be clarified by the Food & Nutrition Services Department Director or cook in charge with Nursing. Medical record review for Resident 40 was initiated on 2/22/26. Resident 40 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 40's H&P examination dated 5/2/25, showed the resident did not have the capacity to make decisions. Review of Resident 40's Order Summary Report dated 2/23/25, showed a physician's order dated 7/10/25, to give Magic Cup 4 ounces per serving three times a day with meals for supplement. Review of Resident 40's Care Plan Report showed a focus problem initiated on 5/1/25 to address Resident 40's nutritional problem or potential nutritional problem. The intervention included to provide supplements as ordered, and Magic Cup three times a day. On 2/22/26 at 1248 hours, a dining observation was conducted with Resident 40 in her bedroom. Resident 40's Lunch Meal Ticket dated 2/22/26, showed Magic Cup. However, Resident 40's lunch tray was observed without a Magic Cup. On 2/22/26 at 1249 hours, a follow-up observation of Resident 40's lunch tray and concurrent interview was conducted with CNA 5. CNA 5 verified Resident 40's meal ticket indicated for Resident 40 to have a Magic Cup. CNA 5 also verified Resident 40's meal tray did not have the Magic Cup. CNA 5 stated she would go to the kitchen to request the Magic Cup. On 2/22/26 at 1250 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with CNA 5. CNA 5 returned from the kitchen and stated the kitchen ran out of the Magic Cup. When asked what the facility's protocol was when a food item was missing in the resident's tray, CNA 5 stated she would ask the kitchen if they could provide an alternative. On 2/22/26 at 1252 hours, an interview and concurrent review of Resident 40's meal ticket was conducted with the RD. The RD verified Resident 40's meal ticket dated 2/22/26 showed Magic Cup. The RD stated the kitchen currently had no Magic Cup available. On 2/22/25 at 1003 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator and DON was informed and acknowledged the above findings.
Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the comprehensive plan of care were revised to reflect the residents' current care needs and interventions for two of 15 final sampled residents (Residents 17 and 75) reviewed for care plans. * Resident 17's care plan addressing the resident's nutrition was not revised to address Resident 17's significant unplanned weight loss on 1/21/26. In addition, the care plan interventions did not reflect Resident 17's current physician's orders. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 75's care plan addressing the resident's activity was revised to reflect the resident's contact isolation precaution. These failures posed the risk of not providing the resident with individualized and person-centered care. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Planning revised 4/2025 showed the facility IDT will develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered and culturally competent care plan for each resident and will include each resident's needs identified in the comprehensive assessment. Review of the facility's P&P titled Change in Condition revised 4/2025 showed if a staff member recognized the condition or care needs of the resident have changed, such as changes in weight, the IDT shall collaborate with the attending physician, resident, and/or resident representative to review the risk indicators and the plan of care. 1. Medical record review for Resident 17 was initiated on 2/22/26. Resident 17 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 17's H&P examination dated 1/7/26, showed Resident 17 had the capacity to understand and make her own medication decisions. Review of Resident 17's Order Summary Report, showed a physician's order dated 2/17/26, to provide a fortified diet (added vitamins and minerals to food to increase the nutritional value), easy to chew with level 7 texture (consists of soft, tender, and moist foods that are easy to bite) and thin liquids. Review of Resident 17's Weights and Vitals Summary, showed the following weights in January and February 2026: - dated 1/8/26, a weight of 131 lbs., - dated 1/14/26, a weight of 130 lbs.,- dated 1/21/26, a weight of 125 lbs.,- dated 1/28/26, a weight of 111 lbs.,- dated 2/4/26, a weight of 112 lbs., - dated 2/11/26, a weight of 110 lbs., and - dated 2/18/26, a weight of 110 lbs. Resident 17 had a significant unplanned weight loss of six lbs. (4.58 %) from 1/8 to 1/21/26, and 14 lbs. (11.2 %) from 1/21 to 1/28/26. In total, Resident 17 has a weight loss of 21 lbs. (16 %) from 1/8 to 2/18/26. Review of Resident 17's plan of care showed a care plan problem initiated on 1/7/26, and revised 2/17/26, addressing Resident 17's nutritional problem. The care plan showed on 1/7/26, Resident 17 was considered malnourished per the mini nutritional assessment, and on 2/11/26, Resident 17 lost 20 lbs. (15.3 %) in one month. The interventions showed to provide Resident 17 a regular diet, easy to chew – level 7 texture and thin liquids. Further review of Resident 17's plan of care did not show a care plan revision for Resident 17's significant unplanned weight loss of 6 lbs. (4.58 %) on 1/21/26. On 2/25/26 at 1029 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 17 was conducted with the DON. The DON stated the residents' care plans should be revised when there was a change in the residents' care. For Resident 17, there should have been a care plan addressing her weight loss on 1/21/26. The DON reviewed Resident 17's medical record and verified Resident 17 did not have a change in condition assessment and a care plan addressing Resident 17's weight loss on 1/21/26. The DON acknowledged the above findings for Resident 17. 2. Medical record review for Resident 75 was initiated on 2/22/26. Resident 75 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 75's H&P examination dated 2/9/26, showed Resident 75 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of Resident 75's plan of care showed a care plan dated 2/16/26, addressing Resident 75's activity. The interventions included to invite the resident to scheduled activities and explain that may leave activities at any time and is not required to stay for entire activity. Review of Resident 75's Order Summary Report, showed the following physician's orders: - dated 2/20/26, for contact isolation for a diagnosis of Shingles (viral infection that causes painful rash). - dated 2/20/26, for room placement: single room isolation (all services be brought to the resident (e.g. rehabilitation, activities, dining, etc.) for Shingles. On 2/22/26 at 0805 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, Resident 75's room was observed with a sign outside the door for contact isolation precaution. Resident 75 was observed sitting in her wheelchair and stated she was on contact isolation for Shingles. Resident 75 stated she was in the room by herself and felt lonely. On 2/23/26 at 1223 hours, a follow up interview was conducted with Resident 75. Resident 75 stated she never went out to attend activities in the facility, and no facility staff came and offered her room activities. On 2/23/26 at 1413 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with Activity Director. The Activity Director verified Resident 75's care plan for activity was not revised nor modified when Resident 75 was diagnosed with Shingles and was unable to leave her room due to contact isolation precaution. The Activity Director failed to show a documentation if the facility offered room activities to Resident 75. On 2/25/26 at 0857 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON was informed of the above findings. The DON stated Resident 75's activity care plan should have been updated with Resident 75's new order for contact isolation precaution. On 2/25/26 at 1008 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.
Based on observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to maintain a safe and homelike environment for one of 15 final sampled residents (Resident 86). * Resident 86's nightstand was not in good repair and safe condition. This failure had the potential to negatively impact on Resident 86's' quality of life and safety. Findings: On 2/22/26 at 0830 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, Resident 86's nightstand was observed by the resident's bed. A bedside commode was placed in front of the nightstand.
