Based on observation, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure the designated resident representative was notified of and involved in a significant medication change for one (Resident #56) of one resident reviewed for notification of change. Specifically, the facility decreased Resident #56's Seroquel dose from 25 milligram three times daily to 12.5 milligram three times daily on 01/26/2026 without documented notification to or consultation with the resident's representative. The findings include:The facility policy titled Notification of Medication Changes reviewed on 12/31/2025 states that the resident, family, and/or resident representative has the right to be informed of and participate in treatment decisions. The policy further states that before initiating, discontinuing, increasing, or decreasing a medication, the resident, family, and/or representative must be informed of the benefits, risks, alternatives, and potential adverse effects. The resident has the right to accept or decline medication changes Resident #56 had diagnoses including Alzheimer's Disease, Psychotic Disorder, Depression, and Anxiety Disorder.The Quarterly Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] documented that Resident #56 had severe cognitive impairment, was rarely or never understood, and rarely or never understood others. The assessment also documented the resident received an antipsychotic medication.A Psychiatry Consultation dated 01/20/2026 documented that Psychiatrist #1 recommended tapering Resident #56's Seroquel from 25 milligram three times daily to 12.5 milligram three times daily. The recommendation was reviewed by Registered Nurse #11 on 01/21/2026 and reviewed and agreed to by Physician Assistant #1 on 01/21/2026.The January 2026 Medication Administration Record documented that Resident #56 received Seroquel 25 milligram three times daily through 01/26/2026, when the order was discontinued. A new order dated 01/26/2026 initiated Seroquel 12.5 milligram three times daily.The facility was unable to provide documentation demonstrating that Resident #56's representative was notified of, consulted regarding, or agreed to the dosage reduction before the medication change was implemented.During an interview on 06/08/2026 at 10:20 AM, Resident #56's representative stated the facility decreased the resident's Seroquel dosage without consulting them. The representative stated they believed the resident needed the medication and would not have agreed to the dosage reduction.During an interview on 06/11/2026 at 10:54 AM, Psychiatrist #1 stated they did not notify Resident #56's representative of the Seroquel dosage reduction because notification was typically the responsibility of nursing staff or the attending medical provider. Psychiatrist #1 stated they were unaware the previous psychiatrist had communicated directly with the representative and believed miscommunication among facility staff resulted in the representative not being notified.During an interview on 06/11/2026 at 11:00 AM, Physician Assistant #1 stated they typically notify resident representatives of medication changes but were unable to locate documentation confirming notification of Resident #56's Seroquel dosage reduction and could not verify that notification occurred.During an interview on 06/10/2026 at 9:43 AM, the Director of Nursing stated that resident representatives are typically included in discussions regarding medication changes and may be notified by nursing staff, the physician, or the psychiatrist.

F604D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure a resident was free from physical restraints imposed for purposes other than the treatment of a medical symptom. This was evident in one (Resident #56) of one resident reviewed for physical restraints out of 38 total sampled residents. Specifically, Resident #56 was repeatedly observed sitting in the middle of their bed with legs hanging off the side of the bed between the elevated head and foot sections of the bed while the bed was placed against a wall. The facility lacked documentation supporting the medical necessity, informed consent, assessment, or ongoing reevaluation of the bed's placement against the wall.The findings include:The facility's Use of Restraints policy last reviewed 12/31/2025, states that restraints may only be used to treat a resident's medical symptoms after less restrictive alternatives have been unsuccessful. The policy prohibits restraints for staff convenience, discipline, or fall prevention and requires physician orders, resident or representative consent, documentation of risks, benefits, and alternatives, ongoing reevaluation of continued need, quarterly review for reduction or elimination, and care planning that addresses the resident's underlying medical symptoms.Resident #56 had diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, psychotic disorder, depression, and anxiety disorder.The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documented that Resident #56 had severe cognitive impairment, was rarely or never understood and rarely or never understood others, was dependent on staff for all activities of daily living, exhibited no physical or verbal behavioral symptoms, did not reject care, and did not use restraints.On 06/08/2026 at 9:42 AM and again on 06/09/2026 at 9:20 AM, Resident #56 was observed seated on the edge of the bed with both the head and foot sections elevated, positioned between the raised sections, with the resident's feet resting on a fall mat located on the right side of the bed. The left side of the bed was positioned directly against the wall. The bed remained positioned against the wall during multiple additional observations conducted between 06/07/2026 and 06/12/2026.The facility was unable to provide documentation demonstrating the medical necessity for positioning the bed against the wall, physician authorization, assessment of restraint use, ongoing reevaluation, or documentation that the resident's representative had been informed of the risks and benefits associated with the bed placement.On 06/08/2026 at 10:20 AM, Resident #56's representative was interviewed and stated they visited the resident daily and frequently found the resident positioned uncomfortably in bed. The representative stated they had previously observed the resident positioned between the elevated head and foot sections of the bed and believed the resident appeared uncomfortable. The representative also stated they preferred the bed remain against the wall because they believed it reduced the risk of the resident falling from bed due to limited staff supervision.On 06/09/2026 at 09:20 AM, Certified Nursing Assistant #4 observed Resident #56 in the same position as the surveyor and stated the resident was unable to operate the bed controls independently. They stated another staff member may have placed the resident in that position while feeding breakfast and stated they did not consider the position to be a restraint. On 06/09/2026 at 09:23 AM, Registered Nurse #6, who was a Registered Nurse Supervisor, observed the resident in the same position and stated Resident #56 should not have been left positioned between the elevated head and foot sections of the bed. They stated a staff member may have placed the resident in that position during feeding. They further stated that placing a bed against a wall could be considered a restraint; however, the resident's representative had requested the bed be positioned against the wall. During a follow-up interview on 06/09/2026 at 10:06 AM, Registered Nurse #6 stated they could not determine when the bed was first positioned against the wall because there was no documentation in the medical record. RN #6 stated documentation regarding the bed placement should have been present but was unsure what specific documentation the facility required.During an interview on 06/10/2026 at 9:43 AM, the Director of Nursing stated Resident #56's representative requested the bed be placed against the wall because of the resident's unpredictable movements and risk of attempting to stand without assistance. The Director of Nursing stated there was no documentation identifying when the bed was placed against the wall and confirmed the facility did not complete assessments or other documentation related to beds positioned against walls because the facility did not consider this practice to be a restraint. The Director of Nursing acknowledged having worked in facilities that did consider wall placement of a bed to be a restraint but was unable to explain why this facility did not. The Director of Nursing further stated Resident #56 should not have been positioned between the elevated head and foot sections of the bed or left in that position unsupervised and could not explain why the surveyor observed the resident in that position on multiple occasions.10 New York Codes, Rules, and Regulations 415.3(d)(1)(vii)

Based on record review and interviews, the facility did not ensure that all alleged violations involving abuse or neglect, including injuries of unknown origin, were reported immediately, but not later than 2 hours after the allegation was made, if the events that caused the allegation involved abuse or resulted in serious bodily injury, or not later than twenty four hours if the events that caused the allegation did not involve abuse and did not result in serious bodily injury, to the New York State Department of Health. This was evident in two (Residents #56 and #241) of seven residents investigated for accidents. Specifically, the facility failed to report an unexplained facial injury sustained by Resident #56 on 08/05/2025 and an unwitnessed fall resulting in a left hip fracture sustained by Resident #241 on 10/15/2025, despite both residents being unable to explain how the injuries occurred. The findings include: The facility's Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation, Mistreatment, and Misappropriation of Resident's Property policy, reviewed 12/31/2025, stated that all incidents, complaints, and injuries of unknown origin will be investigated and that the New York State Department of Health will be notified whenever abuse cannot be ruled out. 1. Resident #56 had diagnoses including Alzheimer's Disease, Psychotic Disorder, Depression, and Anxiety Disorder. The Quarterly Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] documented that Resident #56 had severe cognitive impairments, was rarely/never understood, and rarely or never understood others. The assessment also documented that Resident #56 did not have physical or verbal behavioral symptoms or reject care. An Occurrence Investigation Report dated 08/05/2025 documented that staff observed a bump with yellow discoloration on the left side of Resident #56's forehead at approximately 4:34 PM. Resident #56 was unable to explain how the injury occurred. The resident was transferred to the hospital, where a computed tomography scan revealed no acute findings. The investigation concluded the injury was unavoidable, found no probable evidence of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment, and documented that the incident would not be reported to the Department of Health. During an interview on 06/08/2026 at 10:20 AM, Resident #56's representative stated the facility informed them it did not know how the resident sustained the head injury and expressed concern that the resident was being abused. During an interview on 06/11/2026 at 10:24 AM, the Director of Nursing stated the facility believed the injury resulted from the resident striking their head against the bed headboard due to past behaviors. However, the Director of Nursing acknowledged there was no documentation that the resident engaged in head-banging behaviors, no documentation identifying when the injury occurred, and no evidence establishing the cause of the injury. The Director of Nursing stated the behavior should have been documented if it had occurred and acknowledged the injury of unknown origin should have been reported to the Department of Health. During an interview on 06/12/2026, the Administrator stated the facility did not consider the injury to be of unknown origin because staff believed it was consistent with the resident's prior behaviors and therefore did not report the incident. 2. Resident #241 had diagnoses including schizophrenia (a brain disorder that can make it difficult for a person to tell you what is real and to think, feel, or behave normally), cerebral infarction (blood flow to part of the brain is blocked, causing brain cells to die or be damaged), and non-Alzheimer's dementia (a decline in memory, thinking, or reasoning). The Annual MDS dated [DATE] documented that Resident #241 had severe cognitive impairment, was rarely or never understood, and had impaired short- and long-term memory. An Occurrence Investigation Report dated 10/15/2025 documented that staff found Resident #241 on the floor beside the bed at approximately 9:30 AM. The resident complained of hip pain and headache but was unable to recall the event because of baseline confusion. Hip x-rays identified an acute left hip fracture, and the resident was transferred to the hospital for further evaluation. The investigation documented the cause of the injury as undetermined, found no probable evidence of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment, and concluded the incident would not be reported to the Department of Health. During an interview on 06/12/2026 at 12:39 PM, the Director of Nursing stated the unwitnessed fall resulting in the hip fracture had been reviewed with the Administrator. The Director of Nursing stated the resident frequently paced the hallways, occasionally sat on the floor, experienced no delay in treatment, and had no violation of the care plan. Based on those findings, the facility determined the incident did not meet reporting criteria. During an interview on 06/12/2026 at 1:46 PM, the Administrator stated the facility determined the fracture was of known origin following its internal investigation because the resident had a history of falls and interventions were already in place, including frequent monitoring. Therefore, the facility did not report the incident to the Department of Health. 10 New York Codes, Rules, Regulations 415.4

Based on observation, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure that a resident received dental care in a timely manner. This was evident for one of two residents (Resident #128) reviewed for Dental out of a sample of 38 residents. Specifically, a Nursing Note dated 05/08/2026 documented that Resident #128 required a dental consultation, and there was no documented evidence that Resident #128 was seen and evaluated timely by a dentist. The findings include: The facility policy titled Dental Care for Residents reviewed 01/05/2026 stated the facility will provide routine and emergency dental care to all residents. The policy also stated that all residents will have a complete oral examination annually by a licensed dentist, and for emergency dental care, the nurse will inform the dentist, and the dentist will see the resident in the nursing home. Resident #128 had diagnoses including Type 2 Diabetes and Malnutrition.The Quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] documented that Resident #128 had moderate cognitive impairment and required setup assistance when eating and completing oral hygiene. On 06/07/2026 at 11:25 AM, Resident #128 was interviewed and stated that they broke one of their teeth a month ago and still had not been seen by a dentist despite notifying staff of the broken tooth a month ago. Resident #128 stated that the broken tooth caused pain when they ate.The Nursing Progress Note dated 05/08/2026 documented that a Dental Consult was ordered related to Resident #128 experiencing tooth decay on the left molar. The facility was unable to provide documented evidence that Resident #128 was seen by a dentist in a timely manner, or that a dental visit was attempted in a timely manner. On 06/09/2026 at 10:40 AM, Registered Nurse #6 was interviewed and stated that they saw the Nursing Note that documented that a Dental Consult was ordered for Resident #128, but that they were not the regular nurse on this unit and would look into whether the resident had been seen by the dentist following that note. On 06/10/2026 at 09:27 AM, Registered Nurse #6 stated that the Dentist typically came to the facility once every week or once every other week, and they were not sure why Resident #128 had not been seen by the Dentist at some point during the last month. Registered Nurse #6 also stated that a dental visit was conducted on 06/09/2026 and Resident #128 was started on prophylactic antibiotics with a plan that the tooth would be extracted off site in a few weeks. Registered Nurse #6 stated that the Nurse Supervisor for the unit is responsible for following up on consultations to ensure they were completed, and they were not sure why the regular Nurse Supervisor for the floor did not do this. On 06/10/2026 at 10:28 AM, the Director of Nursing was interviewed and stated that residents receive dental examinations on admission, annually, and as needed when complaints or concerns emerge. The Director of Nursing also stated that when a resident is to be seen by the dentist, the nurse notifies the doctor of the resident's concern, the doctor places an order for the consultation, and then every Wednesday, the dentist gets a list of results to see in person. The Director of Nursing further stated that residents should be seen within a week for non-urgent dental complaints, such as Resident #128's broken tooth. The Director of Nursing stated that the dentist stated that they had attempted to visit Resident #128 on 05/20/2026 but they were not in their room, however the dentist had not completed any documentation related to the visit not being completed and had not notified any of the facility staff that they were unable to locate Resident #128 to complete the visit. On 06/11/2026 at 10:40 AM, the Dental Consultant was interviewed and stated that they attempted to see Resident #128 on 05/20/2026 but they were not in their room, and they did not attempt to notify staff to assist them in locating Resident #128 or to document that the visit was missed. The Dental Consultant also stated that they planned on treating the concern symptomatically and reattempting the visit if Resident #128 reported further symptoms. The Dental Consultant further stated that they did not document that they were unable to see Resident #128 on 05/20/2026 but that they should have, and they should have notified the nurse on the unit so the nurse could document and be aware of the missed visit as well. The Dental Consultant stated Resident #128 was assessed on 06/09/2026 and determined to require an off-site tooth extraction. On 06/12/2026 at 02:14 PM, the Administrator was interviewed and stated that the Nurse or Doctor on the unit are responsible for following up on ordered consultations to ensure they are completed. The Administrator also stated that because Resident #128 was not complaining to the staff about ongoing pain, it may have been why staff did not follow up to ensure the consultation was completed. 10 New York Codes, Rules, Regulations 415.17 (a-d)

Based on observation, interviews, and record reviews conducted during an Abbreviated Survey (NY00317501), the facility failed to ensure that a resident who is fed by enteral means receives the appropriate care and services to prevent complications of enteral feeding. This was evident for one out of four residents (Resident #1) sampled for nutrition. Specifically, Resident #1 experienced persisting diarrhea from March 2023 to October 2023 while receiving tube feedings and experienced a significant weight loss of over 20 percent. There was no documented evidence that additional medical follow-up was attempted when the facility was unable to identify a cause for the persistent diarrhea or that increased weight monitoring was implemented when Resident #1 experienced a significant weight loss. The findings are: The facility's Policy and Procedure Nutrition and Hydration reviewed September 2023 states that residents within the facility will maintain adequate parameters of nutritional and hydration status, to the extent possible, to ensure each resident is able to maintain the highest practicable level of well-being. The facility's Policy and Procedure, Weight Loss reviewed September 2023 states that the nursing staff and the Dietitian will cooperate to prevent, monitor, and intervene for undesirable weight loss for the residents. The Policy further states nursing staff will measure the resident weight on admission, the next day, and weekly for two weeks thereafter. If no weight concerns are noted at this point, weights will be measured monthly thereafter. Resident #1 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including Cerebral Infarction, Aphasia, Dysphagia, and Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis. Resident #1 had a feeding tube. The Minimum Data Set with an assessment reference date of 03/03/2023, revealed that Resident #1 had severely impaired cognition and weighed 138.0 pounds. The Comprehensive Care plan for nutritional problem was initiated on 02/27/2023 and documented that Resident #1 had nutritional problem related to reliance on enteral route to meet 100 percent of nutritional needs and had a feeding tube. The Documentation Survey Report (completed by the Certified Nursing Assistant) documented the following: 03/01/23 to 03/31/23-26 bouts of loose stool. 04/01/23 to 04/31/23-18 bouts of loose stool. 05/01/23 to 05/31/23 -34 bouts of loose stool. 06/01/23 to 06/31/23 -18 bouts of loose stool. 07/01/23 to 07/31/23 -22 bouts of loose stool. 08/01/23 to 08/31/23- 26 bouts of loose stool. 09/01/23 to 09/31/23 -16 bouts of loose stool. 10/01/23 to 10/31/23 -18 bouts of loose stool.
