The MDS indicated an active discharge plan was in process for a return to the community.During a review of Resident 84's physician order, dated 3/19/2026, the physician order indicated Resident 84 may discharge to an assisted living facility for lower-level care.During a review of Resident 84's progress notes, dated 3/19/2026, the progress notes indicated Resident 84 was alert, oriented, and stable for transfer to a lower level of care. The progress notes indicated Resident 84 was discharged on 3/19/2026 at 10:20 a.m. in stable condition with all current medications, personal belongings, and necessary documents.During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/9/2026 at 1:00 p.m. with the Social Services Director (SSD), Resident 84's medical records were reviewed. There was no Notice of Proposed Transfer nor discharge summary in the medical records. The SSD stated the nurses fill out the Notice of Proposed Transfer and oversee faxing the notice to the Ombudsman (an advocate for residents of nursing homes, board and care centers, and assisted living facilities). The SSD stated it was important to let the resident know the discharge information because the Notice also included information regarding an appeal process. The SSD stated it was important to let the ombudsman know that the resident would be transferred to another facility. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/9/2026 at 1:30 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 84's medical records were reviewed. The DON stated there was no discharge summary. DON stated it was very important to document the discharge summary. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Transfer and Discharge (Including AMA), dated 01/2026, the P&P indicated for non-emergency discharges (initiated by the facility, return not anticipated), the Social Services Director would notify the resident and resident's representative in writing at least 30 days before the resident is transferred or discharged . The P&P indicated the contents of the notice must include the reason for transfer or discharge, effective date of transfer or discharge, the location to which the resident is transferred or discharged , and a statement of the resident's appeal rights.

The care plans indicated there were no care plans for schizophrenia or depression. LVN 1 stated there should be a care plan for diagnoses schizophrenia, and depression so staff would know the interventions (actions to take to improve a situation) in case Resident 9 showed behavioral issues.During an interview on 4/10/2026 at 9:20 a.m. with the MDS Nurse, MDS Nurse stated the initiation of care plans was a team effort and should be checked during quarterly updates of the MDS by the MDS Nurse. The MDS Nurse stated the purpose of the care plan was to ensure Resident 9's goals and interventions are being met. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Comprehensive Care Plans dated 1/2026, the P&P indicated the comprehensive care plan would describe services that were to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. The P&P indicated the comprehensive care plan would include measurable objectives and timeframes to meet the resident's needs as identified in the resident's comprehensive assessment.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure physician orders for lab work, medical procedures, chest x-ray and dental referral were carried out for one of four sampled residents (Resident 26).This deficient practice had the potential to result in delayed diagnosis, delayed treatment, and/or worsening of Resident 26's condition.FindingsDuring a review of Resident 26's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 26 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 26's diagnoses including bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbance in thought) and suicidal ideations (thinking about wanting to die or considering suicide)During a review of Resident 26's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 1/29/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 26's cognition (process of thinking) was intact and unimpaired.

The SSD stated she was not aware of the referral request and placed the ENT note in the logbook without alerting the dentist about the order for the dental referral.During a review of Resident 26's physician progress notes dated 4/3/2026, the physician progress notes indicated Resident 26 wanted to be tested for pancreatic, colon cancer and other types of cancer because he claimed his sister was dying of cancer. The PPN indicated a request for Resident 26 to have a stool for occult blood (a test to detect blood in the stool), a chest x-ray (a photo imaging exam of the lungs, heart, airways and ribs used to detect abnormalities), an abdominal ultrasound (a scan that shows organs in the belly, the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas and blood vessels used to detect abnormalities), and a colonoscopy (a procedure where a camera scope is used to look inside the colon and rectum to detect abnormalities).During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/8/2026 at 11:48 a.m., with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated orders for the stool for occult blood, chest x-ray, abdominal ultrasound, and colonoscopy were not carried over into Resident 26's physician orders and therefore missed and not transcribed. The DSD stated Resident 26 did not receive the lab work or testing that the physician ordered on 4/3/2026. The DSD stated the delay could potentially delay care and services for Resident 26. During review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Medication Orders, dated 1/2026, the P&P indicated for handwritten orders signed by the physician, the charge nurse on duty at the time the order is received should note the order and enter it on the physician order sheet or electronic order format.
Inspection of August 8, 2025
2 findingsBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to protect residents right to be free from physical abuse (deliberate, aggressive, or violent behavior with the intention to cause harm) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1), who was physically attacked by Resident 2, who had a known history of agitation and aggressive behaviors toward others. The facility failed to:1. Implement its policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation which indicated each resident had the right to be free from abuse and neglect.2. Implement its P&P titled Behavior Management Plan, which indicated, residents with behavioral concerns will have a behavioral management plan to ensure they received appropriate services and interventions to meet their needs. These deficient practices resulted in Resident 2 punching Resident 1 on the right side of the face causing Resident 1 to sustain a hematoma (broken blood vessels) on the head and left ear bleeding, that required hospitalization in a general acute care hospital (GACH), where he was diagnosed with a right frontal (to the front and adjacent to the forehead) scalp (the skin covering the head) hematoma. Resident 1 underwent a repair of a one-centimeter ([cm] - unit of measurement) laceration (skin cut) to the left ear that required sutures (a basic wound closure technique where individual stitches are placed and tied separately along the length of the wound). Resident 1 was still admitted to the GACH as of 8/20/2025.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's Face Sheet, the Face Sheet indicated, Resident 1 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 1's diagnoses included Diabetes Mellitus ([DM] - a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements), and major depressive disorder ([MDD] - a mood disorder that cause a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest).

The MDS indicated Resident 1 sometimes had the ability to make self-understood and understand others. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) from staff with activities of daily living (ADL's - routine tasks/activities) such as oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 1's Change in Condition Evaluation ([COC] - a communication tool used to communicate a resident's change of condition), dated 7/28/2025, the COC indicated Resident 1 was found on the floor with Resident 2 on top of him. The COC indicated Resident 1 stated Resident 2 hit him and pushed him to the floor. The COC indicated Resident 1 was bleeding from the left ear and had a hematoma on the right side of his face. The COC indicated Resident 1 was transferred to the GACH for evaluation and treatment. During a review of Resident 1's GACH Emergency Report (ER), dated 7/28/2025, the report indicated Resident 1 presented to the ER with injuries to his head, hand, neck, and a left ear laceration. The ER Report indicated Resident 1's Computed Tomography scan ([CT] process of taking pictures of body parts to diagnose and treat disease and injury) of the head indicated Resident 1 had a right frontal hematoma. The ER Report indicated Resident 1 had a 1-centimeter ([cm] - unit of measurement) laceration to his left ear that required sutures (a basic wound closure technique where individual stitches are placed and tied separately along the length of the wound). During a review of Resident 2's Face Sheet, the Face Sheet indicated, Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 2's diagnoses included paranoid schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), and anxiety disorder (a condition in which a person has excessive worry and feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness). During a review of Resident 2's H&P, dated 6/28/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 2 could make needs known but could not make medical decisions. During a review of Resident 2's MDS assessment, dated 7/10/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2's cognitive skills for daily decision making were intact. The MDS indicated Resident 2 was independent (Resident completes the activity by themself with no assistance from a helper) on ADLs such as eating, toileting hygiene, and upper body dressing. During a review of Resident 2's GACH Psychiatric Evaluation Notes prior to admission to the facility, dated 6/14/2025, the notes indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the GACH on a 5150 (an involuntary 72-hour psychiatric hold, allowing law enforcement or designated mental health professionals to detain individuals who, due to a mental health disorder, are deemed a danger to themselves or others) for danger to others. The Psychiatric Evaluation Notes indicated, Resident 2 was involved in a physical altercation with another resident and had been increasingly agitated and aggressive toward others without any provocation (an action or statement that is intended to make someone angry). During a review of Resident 2's Initial Psychiatric Evaluation in the facility, dated 7/14/2025, The initial Psychiatric Evaluation indicated, Resident 2 was agitated, paranoid (unjustified suspicion and mistrust of other people or their actions) and anxious. The Initial Psychiatric Evaluation indicated a treatment plan to observe Resident 2 for deterioration in function, increase socialization to prevent isolation and compliance of medication. During a review of Resident 2's Progress Notes, dated 7/28/2025, the Progress Notes indicated Resident 2 had experienced an auditory hallucination (perceptions of sound when no actual sound is present) commanding him to fight. The progress Notes indicated Resident 2 went to Resident 1's room and physically attacked Resident 1 and put him on the floor. During a review of the facility's Five Day Follow Up Investigative Report, dated 8/1/2025, the report indicated on 7/28/2025 CNA 1 witnessed Resident 2 hitting Resident 1 across the face and both residents lost their balance and fell to the ground. The report indicated Residents 1 and 2 were separated immediately and assessed by staff. The report indicated Resident 1 was transferred to the GACH for further evaluation. During a telephone interview on 8/6/2025 at 12:19 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 1), LVN 1 stated on 7/28/2025 at approximately 5 a.m., she heard a staff calling for help from Resident 1's room, she ran to the resident room and observed Resident 2 coming out of Resident 1's room. LVN 1 stated she found Resident 1 lying on his back on the floor with a hematoma on the right side of his forehead. LVN 1 stated she observed a moderate amount of blood coming from Resident 1's left ear. During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 3:02 p.m., with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated on 7/28/2025 at around 5:00 a.m., she was assisting another resident and heard a loud noise coming from Resident 1's room. CNA 1 stated she ran to Resident 1's room, observed Resident 1 on the floor and Resident 2 on top of him. CNA 1 stated she observed Resident 2 punching Resident 1's head and right side of the resident's face with both fists. CNA 1 stated she observed bruises on Resident 1's face and left ear was bleeding. CNA 1 stated she tried to stop Resident 2 from punching Resident 1 but Resident 2 tried to hit her (CNA 1). CNA 1 stated she left Resident 1 and Resident 2 in the room while Resident 2 continued hitting Resident 1, went outside and screamed for help. CNA 1 stated there was a lot of blood on the floor. During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 3:54 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN), the MDSN stated Resident 2 had a history of aggressive behavior and physical altercation with another resident prior to admission to the facility. The MDSN stated there was no comprehensive care plan developed addressing Resident 2's potential to be physically aggressive to others because Resident 1's aggressive behavior was only a history. The MDSN stated he did not develop a care plan for Resident 2's history of physically aggressive behavior until Resident 2 displayed the actual behavior by attacking Resident 1 on 7/28/2025. During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 4:10 p.m., with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated residents with a history of physical aggressive behavior should have a comprehensive care plan so staff could identify any triggers and better manage the resident's behaviors, provide supervision, and implement other interventions to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents in the facility. The DSD stated she had no answer why the MDSN did not develop a care plan with measurable interventions related to Resident 2's history of physical altercation prior to admission to the facility. The DSD stated without a care planning there was a chance to escalate Resident 2's aggressive behavior. During an interview on 8/8/2025 at 2:26 p.m., with the Social Service Director (SSD), the SSD stated failure to develop a comprehensive care plan for a resident with a known history of physical aggression could lead to a resident-to-resident altercation and physical abuse. The SSD stated the physical abuse Resident 1 suffered from Resident 2 could have been prevented if the facility had provided close monitoring and supervision to Resident 2, given the resident's history of physical altercation with other residents prior to admission to the facility. During an interview on 8/8/2025 at 3:36 p.m., with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated all residents had the right to be free from any forms of abuse. The ADM stated Resident 2 should have been closely monitored given his history of agitation and aggressive behavior. The ADM stated that since Resident 1 sustained an injury, the facility did not prevent Resident 1 from physical abuse by Resident 2. During a review of the facility's undated P&P, titled Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation, the P&P indicated, Each resident has the right to be free from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property and exploitation. The P&P indicated Physical abuse includes, but not limited to hitting, slapping, punching and kicking. The P&P indicated, Prevention of Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation - the facility will consider utilization of the following tips for prevention of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of resident: l. Assess, monitor and develop appropriate plans of care for residents with needs and behaviors which might lead to conflict or neglect, such as residents with a history of aggressive behaviors. During a review of the facility's undated P&P, titled Behavior Management Plan, the P&P indicated, Residents who exhibit behavioral concerns may require a behavioral management plan to ensure they are receiving appropriate services and interventions to meet their needs.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an accurate Minimum Data Set ([MDS] - a resident assessment tool) was completed accurately for one of three sampled residents (Resident 2) by failing to:1. Ensure Resident 2's Depakote (an anticonvulsant used to treat seizure disorder and other psychiatric conditions) medication was encoded as anticonvulsant and reflected in the MDS assessment under Section N (N0415 High-Risk Drug Classes) medication. This deficient practice resulted in incorrect data transmitted to Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) related to inappropriate MDS care screening and assessment tool practices. Findings:During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the resident), the admission Record indicated, Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 2's diagnoses included paranoid schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), and anxiety disorder (a condition in which a person has excessive worry and feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness). During a review of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/28/2025, the H&P indicated, Resident 2 could make needs known but cannot make medical decisions. During a review of Resident 2's MDS assessment, dated 7/10/2025, the MDS indicated, Resident 2 was independent (decisions consistent/reasonable) in cognitive (ability to think and reason) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated, Resident 2 was independent (Resident completes the activity by themself with no assistance from a helper) with eating, toileting hygiene, and upper body dressing. During a review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report (a document containing active orders), dated 8/6/2026, the Order Summary Report indicated, the physician placed a telephone order on 6/27/2025 for Resident 2 to start on Depakote 500 milligrams ([mg] - metric unit of measurement, used for medication dosage/and or amount) by mouth to give 1 tablet by mouth every 12 hours (9 a.m. and 9 p.m.) for bipolar disorder manifested by fluctuation in mood as evidenced by sudden angry outburst due to responding to internal stimuli for no form of provocation. During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/6/2025 at 1:21 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN), Resident 2's MDS assessment, dated 7/10/2025, was reviewed. The MDSN stated Resident 2 was taking Depakote which is considered as anti-convulsant medication. The MDSN stated there should a check marked on MDS Section N0415 under anticonvulsant medication. The MDSN stated the MDS assessment was completed inaccurately. The MDSN stated per Resident Assessment Instrument ([RAI] - a guide that helps nursing home staff use to assess residents and develop care plans) manual coding of medications should be based on the pharmacological (relating to the use of drugs to treat a condition) classification of the medication not based on the reason it was prescribed. The MDSN stated he had not been coding Depakote medication as anticonvulsant in the past and it was not a red flagged. The MDSN stated accuracy of assessment in the MDS was important because it entails the condition and needs of the resident and for continuity of care. During a review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P), titled Conducting an Accurate Resident Assessment, the P&P indicated, The purpose of this policy is to assure that all residents receive an accurate assessment, reflective of the resident's status at the time of the assessment, by staff qualified to assess relevant care areas.
Inspection of July 22, 2025
1 findingBased on record review and interview, the facility failed to respond to a request for the account balance of personal funds for one of three residents' (Resident 1).This deficient practice resulted in the facility retaining Resident 1's funds after being discharged from the facility.Findings:During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (face sheet), the admission record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including anemia (a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body), chronic kidney disease (progressive damage and loss of function in the kidneys), and gastrostomy status (presence of a gastrostomy tube which is a surgical opening in the stomach for nutrition support).During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/12/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 was alert and oriented to person (a person is aware of and can identify the people around them).During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive quarterly resident assessment) dated 6/7/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 rarely had the ability to make self understood and rarely had the ability to understand others.

Inspection of February 7, 2025
12 findingsBased on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to: 1. Ensure two out of four sampled residents (Resident 57): nasal cannula and humidifiers (a medical device that provides supplemental oxygen to a patient through their nose) were dated, labeled and (Resident 36) GT feeding was changed per physcian orders. These deficient practices had the potential to transmit infectious microorganisms and increase the risk of infection for residents. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 57's Admission Record ([Face Sheet] front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the resident), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 57 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 57's diagnoses included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ([COPD]- a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), respiratory failure (when the body's respiratory system is unable to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide properly), and chronic heart failure (a condition where the heart can't pump blood efficiently). During a review of Resident 57's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/20/2024, the H&P indicated, Resident 57 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 57's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool), dated 1/15/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 57's cognition (ability to learn, reason, remember, understand, and make decisions) was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 57 was substantial assistance on staff for showering, dressing, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 57 health condition included shortness of breath (trouble breathing) with exertion (walking, bathing, transferring, and when lying flat. During an observation on 2/4/2025 at 9:57 a.m. in Resident 57's room, there a humidifier attached to a concentrator (it takes air from your surroundings, extract oxygen and filter it into purified oxygen for you to breathe) and a nasal cannula connected to the humidifier. The humidifier was dated 12/20/2024 and the nasal cannula was not dated and labeled. During a review of Resident 57's physician orders titled, Order Summary Report, dated 12/10/2024, the physician orders indicated oxygen at two liters ([L] -a metric unit of measurement used to calculate volumes) per minute continuously every shift for shortness of breath and wheezing (a high-pitched whistling sound that indicates a person may be having trouble breathing). During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/5/2025 at 12:08 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3 in Resident 57's room, Resident 57 had a humidifier attached to a concentrator dated 12/20/2024 and the nasal cannula was not dated and labeled. LVN 3 stated the humidifier should have been changed every two weeks. LVN 3 stated the humidifier provides moisture to the resident and if it was not changed every two weeks it could cause a respiratory infection. LVN 3 stated the nasal cannula needed to be changed every two weeks to prevent respiratory infection. During an interview on 2/5/2025 at 12:32 p.m. with Minimum Data Set (MDS) Nurse, the MDS Nurse stated the humidifier and nasal cannula tubing should be changed weekly. The MDS Nurse stated the nasal cannula could get clogged with mucus dryness, condensation (water collects) buildup in the tubing. The MDS Nurse stated not changing the humidifier and the nasal cannula tubing weekly could cause Resident 57's COPD to exacerbate (to make a disease or its symptoms worse). During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Oxygen Administration, date unknown, the P&P indicated the purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for safe oxygen administration. The P&P indicated the following equipment and supplies a nasal cannula and humidifier bottle will be necessary when performing this procedure. The P&P did not indicate issues regarding infection control. During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Oxygen Concentrator, date unknown, the P&P indicated to administer oxygen for the treatment of certain disease or conditions. The P&P indicated the care of the concentrator were to change tubing weekly, change humidifier every seven days or as needed, and change nebulizer tubing every seven days. 49906 b. During an observation on 2/4/2025 at 10:28 am at Resident 36's bedside, a 50.7-ounce container of Jevity 1.2 cal enteral nutrition was hanging from an IV pole dated 2/2/2025 5am. The container had 200 mL's of formula remaining. During a review of Resident 36's Admission Record, the admission record indicated the facility readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included dysphagia (swallowing difficulty), ileus (a condition where the normal movement of food and waste through the gut is impaired), and cerebrovascular disease (a group of conditions that affect the blood vessels in the brain and spinal cord). During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), the MDS indicated Resident 36 usually had the ability to express ideas and wants and sometimes had the ability to understand others. The MDS also indicated Resident 36 was dependent (helper does all the effort) in all functional abilities. During a review of Resident 36's Order Summary Report, dated 2/3/2025, the report indicated Enteral Feed Order every shift Jevity 1.2 @ 40cc x 20 hours to yield 800cc/1200 kcal in 24 hours via continuous feeding pump. Turn feeding off at 10am or till dose is completed. During a review of the manufacturers product information titled Jevity 1.2 Cal, the document indicated to hang for no more than 24 hours and that all medical foods, regardless of type of administration system, require careful handling because they can support microbial (bacteria) growth. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/7/2025 at 9:18 am with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2, LVN 2 stated Resident 36's enteral nutrition should be changed everyday because it is no longer fresh. It is like food being left out and could cause diarrhea, constipation, or vomiting. A review of a picture taken on 2/4/2025 at 10:29 am at Resident 36's bedside, of the Jevity container dated 2/2/2025 5am without a nurse's signature or initials, LVN 2 stated the container hanging there should be dated 2/3/2025 if it was changed every twenty-four hours as ordered. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Enteral Nutrition, undated, the P&P indicated, Adequate nutritional support through enteral feeding will be provided to residents as ordered.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure care plan interventions for two of four sampled residents (Residents 44 and 90) were implemented. The facility failed to implement: 1. Resident 44's care plan interventions regarding skin care for an ankle monitor. 2. Resident 90's care plan interventions regarding the resident leaving the facility temporarily with family. These failures placed Resident 44 and 90 at risk of not having their needs being met. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 44's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 44 on 2/22/2019 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including COPD, epilepsy, and schizophrenia (a mental disorder characterized by disturbances in thought). During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 11/22/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 44 rarely/never had the ability to express ideas and wants and rarely/never had the ability to understand others. The MDS also indicated Resident 44 was dependent (helper does all the effort) in all functional abilities. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/6/2025 at 10:29 am with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 3, at Resident 44's bedside, Resident 44 was observed asleep. There was a brown electrical cord and black electrical power pack hanging from the foot of the bed. CNA 3 stated the plug was for Resident 44's ankle monitor and was unplugged during hygiene care and the charge nurses are responsible for keeping it charged. CNA 3 also stated the device has been connected to Resident 44's left ankle since he was admitted and if it runs out of power, the police show up to make sure Resident 44 is still in the facility. During a concurrent observation, interview, and record review on 2/6/2025 at 1:00 pm with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4, at Resident 44's bedside, LVN 4 confirmed the presence of the ankle monitor on the left and stated there should be some material between it and the skin to protect from skin breakdown. At the nursing station, LVN 4 confirmed there was no care plan in Resident 44's health record regarding the ankle monitor. During an interview on 2/6/2025 at 2:20 pm with the Social Services Director (SSD), the SSD stated no paperwork was given to the facility by law enforcement regarding Resident 44's ankle monitor and that it was present on admission. The SSD stated there should be some paperwork in his chart regarding the device in case of emergency. During an interview on 2/7/2025 at 2:34 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated she does not know why Resident 44 has an ankle monitor. Everyone knows the device is there and no one has reported any skin issues. DON also stated there should be a care plan to ensure there is no skin break down. During a review of the facility's P&P titled Comprehensive Care Plans, undated the P&P indicated that it is the policy of the facility to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident that addresses a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs. b. During a review of Resident 90's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 90 on 12/11/2024 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty breathing) , epilepsy (a chronic disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures), major depressive disorder (a condition that involves persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness), and paranoid schizophrenia (feelings of distrust and suspicion of others for no reason in addition to hearing or seeing things that are not there). During a review of the MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 90 had the ability to express ideas and wants and had the ability to understand others. The MDS also indicated Resident 90 was independent with self-care and mobility (walking). During a review of Resident 90's Order Summary Report dated 2/1/2025, the report indicated an order on 12/11/2024 the resident may go for temporary leave of absence with companion and on indicated on 12/25/2024 the resident may go out for temporary leave of absence with family as needed. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/7/2025 at 9:42 am with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated there should be an order and care plan for residents leaving the facility. The MDS Nurse is responsible for the care plan initiation. During a review of Resident 90's care plan, initiated 12/13/2024, LVN 1 did not see a focus area with goals and interventions for leaving the facility temporarily. LVN 1 stated he did not know how the residents' safety would be ensured while out of facility, but a care plan indicating goals and interventions would help. During an interview on 2/6/2025 at 1:50 pm with the MDS Nurse (MDSN), the MDSN stated he is responsible for care plan initiation and licensed nurses and other administrators can make revisions. MDSN stated he never thought of doing a care plan for residents leaving the facility temporarily but thinks there should at least be an assessment done when they leave and when they come back. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Out on Pass Policy, undated, the P&P indicated individuals who leave the facility on a temporary pass shall do so in a manner that ensures their safety, maintains proper documentation, and upholds facility guidelines.
Based on observation and interview the facility failed to: 1. Ensure call light device was placed within reach for one of 18 sampled residents (Resident 56). This deficient practice had the potential to result in a delay in or an inability for the residents to obtain necessary care and services. Findings: During a review of Resident 56's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated, Resident 56 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and last readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 56's diagnoses included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), depression (a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act), schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought). During a review of Resident 56's History and Physical (H&P), dated 4/30/24, the H&P indicated Resident 56 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions. A review of Resident 56's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool)), dated 1/24/25, indicated Resident 56 was assessed to have comprehend (the action or capability of understanding something) most conversation. The MDS indicated Resident 56 required supervision or touching assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves) such as oral hygiene, showering, sit to stand, chair/bed-to-chair transfer, and toilet transfer. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/25 at 2:50 p.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 in Resident 56's room, the resident call lights was hanging on the overhead light above Resident 56's bed, not within reach for the resident. CNA 1 stated the call light was not within reach for the Resident 56. CNA 1 stated the call light should be next to him for an emergency. CNA 1 stated if the call light was not within reach the resident could potentially fall, have breathing issues and not get the help they needed. During an interview on 2/7/25 at 9:06 a.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), DSD stated if the call light were not within reach the resident could not get the help they needed in case of an emergency. During an interview on 2/7/25 at 10:28 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the call light should always be within reach for the resident. The [NAME] stated it would potentially be dangerous for the resident not able to call for help when it was needed. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Answering the Call Light, (undated), the P&P indicated, when the resident is in bed or confined to a chair be sure the call light is within easy reach of the resident.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to: 1.Ensure one out four sampled residents (Resident 57) had a revised care plan for oxygen therapy (the medical practice of providing a patient with supplemental oxygen). This deficient practice of not having a revised care plan to indicate when to administer oxygen therapy placed Resident 57 at risk of not meeting the care plan goal as indicated. Findings: During a review of Resident 57's Admission Record ([Face Sheet] front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the resident), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 57 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 57's diagnoses included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ([COPD]- a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), respiratory failure (when the body's respiratory system is unable to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide properly), and chronic heart failure (a condition where the heart can't pump blood efficiently). During a review of Resident 57's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/20/2024, the H&P indicated, Resident 57 did not have capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 57's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool), dated 1/15/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 57's cognition (ability to learn, reason, remember, understand, and make decisions) was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 57 was substantial assistance on staff for showering, dressing, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 57 health condition included shortness of breath (trouble breathing) with exertion (walking, bathing, transferring, and when lying flat. During a review of Resident 57's physician orders titled, Order Summary Report, dated 12/10/2024, the physician orders indicated oxygen at two liters ([L] -a metric unit of measurement used to calculate volumes) per minute continuously every shift for shortness of breath and wheezing (a high-pitched whistling sound that indicates a person may be having trouble breathing). During a review of Resident 57's care plan titled, Risk for Shortness of Breath due to Chronic Respiratory Failure, dated 10/10/2024 the care plan indicated Resident 57 goals were not to have shortness of breath. The care plan interventions indicated to have oxygen available if ordered or as needed. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/5/2025 at 12:32 p.m. with Minimum Data Set (MDS) Nurse, Resident 57's care plan titled, Risk for Shortness of Breath, dated 10/10/2024 was reviewed. The care plan goal indicated Resident 57 will have no shortness of breath daily. The care plan interventions indicated to have oxygen available if ordered or as needed. The MDS Nurse stated the care plan interventions should have been revised to state the frequency, route, when to change the nasal canula (a thin, flexible tube that delivers oxygen to a patient through their nose), and humidifier (a device that adds moisture to oxygen to prevent irritation of the nose and throat). The MDS Nurse stated it was important to revise the care plan so the staff will know when to give the oxygen such as when the saturation (measures the amount of oxygen in a patient's blood) is too low. The MDS Nurse stated it was also important to know when to change the nasal canula and humidifier. The MDS Nurse stated with incomplete interventions could affect Resident 57's care plan goals therefore the goal will not be met. During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Reviewing and Revising the Care Plan, date unknown, the P&P indicated the purpose of this procedure is to provide a consistent process for reviewing and revising the care plan for those residents experiencing a status change. The P&P indicated the care will be updated with the new or modified interventions. The P&P indicated the care plans will be modified as needed by the MDS Coordinator or other designated staff member.
Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to: 1. Conceal a sign containing personal information for one of two residents, (Resident 44), by posting it on the wall above the resident's bed. This deficient practice violated the resident's right to have personal information shielded from public view. Findings: During an initial tour on 2/4/2025 at 10:13, a handwritten sign disclosed Law enforcement device to be plugged in was posted above the Resident's 44 bed. During a review of Resident 44's Admission Record, the admission record indicated the facility admitted Resident 44 on 2/22/2019 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty breathing), epilepsy (a chronic disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures), and schizophrenia (a mental disorder characterized by disturbances in thought). During a review of the MDS, the MDS indicated Resident 44 rarely/never had the ability to express ideas and wants and rarely/never had the ability to understand others. The MDS also indicated Resident 44 was dependent (helper does all the effort) in all functional abilities. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/6/2025 at 10:29 am at Resident 44's bedside with CNA 3, CNA 3 stated she was on staff when Resident 44 was originally admitted with the device, and the sign above his bed has been on the wall the whole time. CNA 3 stated the sign probably should not be there with Resident 44's personal information on it. The nurses leave it plugged in because the police come looking for Resident 44 when the battery dies. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/6/2025 at 1:00 pm with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4, at Resident 44's bedside, LVN 4 stated the sign placed above the bed states the resident has a device from a law enforcement agency. LVN 4 stated the sign is indicating Resident 44 has some issues with the law. LVN 4 also stated the sign above the bed does not protect Resident 44's privacy and it should have been placed in his chart. During an interview on 2/7/2025 at 2:34 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the sign above Resident 44's bed is a violation of his privacy. The DON also stated the sign was there when she started working at the facility one year ago and she never questioned it. The last time an agent came out to check the devices' power, she asked about it and the agent stated it was court ordered and the sign needs to be posted so facility staff know it needs to be kept charged. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Posting Signs Policy, undated, the P&P indicated all signs posted within the facility shall comply with regulatory requirements. The P&P also stated signs with confidential resident information shall be displayed discreetly or in restricted areas only.
Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to: 1. Properly obtain orthostatic blood pressure (a form of low blood pressure that happens when standing after sitting or lying down) readings for two of four sampled residents (Resident 3, Resident 52). This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 3 and Resident 52 to experience a delay in interventions if they were positive for orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure). Findings: a. During a review of Resident 3's Face Sheet, it indicated Resident 3 was originally admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included bipolar disorder (mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), and schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought). During a review of Resident 3's Care Plan, dated 11/7/2024 it indicated Resident 3 had hypertension (high blood pressure) and an intervention included to monitor for side effects of blood pressure medications by checking orthostatic hypotension. During a review of Resident 3's Order Summary, an order was placed on 10/5/2024 to monitor orthostatic blood pressure sitting and lying weekly on Saturday in the evening. During a review of Resident 3's Blood Pressure Summary, dated 1/2025- 2/2025, Resident 3 had the following blood pressure recorded: 2/1/2025 6:40 p.m. 128 / 70 millimeters per mercury (mmHg- unit of measurement) Lying 2/1/2025 6:40 p.m. 136 / 84 mmHg Sitting 2/1/2025 8:14 a.m. 140 / 80 mmHg Sitting 1/25/2025 7:28 p.m. 128 / 70 mmHg Lying 1/25/2025 7:27 p.m. 136 / 80 mmHg Sitting 1/25/2025 9:01 a.m. 124 / 71 mmHg Sitting 1/25/2025 9:00 a.m. 124 / 71 mmHg Sitting 1/18/2025 8:24 p.m. 128 / 74 mmHg Lying 1/18/2025 7:24 p.m. 136 / 80 mmHg Sitting 1/18/2025 9:03 a.m. 140 / 61 mmHg Sitting b. During a review of Resident 52's Face Sheet, it indicated Resident 52 was originally admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with a diagnosis that included schizophrenia. During a review of Resident 52's Care Plan, dated 12/3/2024 it indicated Resident 52 had hypertension and an intervention included to monitor for side effects of blood pressure medications by checking orthostatic hypotension. During a review of Resident 52's Order Summary, an order was placed on 1/3/2025 to monitor orthostatic blood pressure sitting and lying weekly on Saturday in the evening. During a review of Resident 52's Blood Pressure Summary, dated 1/2025- 2/2025, Resident 52 had the following blood pressure recorded: 2/1/2025 10:40 p.m. 122 / 80 mmHg Lying 2/1/2025 10:40 p.m. 120 / 60 mmHg Sitting 1/25/2025 11:22 p.m. 116 / 84 mmHg Lying 1/25/2025 11:21 p.m. 122 / 60 mmHg Sitting 1/18/2025 6:14 p.m. 120 / 76 mmHg Lying 1/18/2025 6:12 p.m. 134 / 76 mmHg Lying 1/11/2025 10:19 p.m. 108 / 60 mmHg Sitting 1/11/2025 10:15 p.m. 122 / 66 mmHg Lying 1/4/2025 9:16 p.m. 120 / 66 mmHg Lying 1/4/2025 9:15 p.m. 122 / 74 mmHg Sitting During an interview on 2/6/2025 at 1:35 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated the method to take orthostatic blood pressure is by taking a blood pressure reading with the resident lying down first. Then, they would sit up and have them sit for about 5 minutes and take another blood pressure reading. RN 1 stated you must wait about 5 minutes between the position change to allow for their body to adjust to the change in position. RN 1 stated the nurse will report to the physician if there is a change of over 20mm/Hg for During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/6/2025 at 1:48 p.m. with RN 1, Resident 3 and Resident 52's Blood Pressure Summary dated 1/2025- 2/2025 was reviewed. RN 1 stated in some of the blood pressure documentation, the time they were taken was only 1 minute apart and that is not correct because the nurse needs to wait about 5 minutes from the lying to sitting position to allow the body to adjust to the change, not doing so means it is an inaccurate reading. RN 1 further stated according to the documentation of the blood pressure, the staff who took the readings took it in the sitting position first and then lying. RN 1 stated this method is incorrect and stated the first blood pressure reading should be lying first and then sitting and doing it in the reverse order is not how orthostatic blood pressure readings are to be taken. If it is done incorrectly, the nurse wouldn't know if the resident had orthostatic hypotension. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P), titled Orthostatic Hypotension Policy, undated, it indicated individuals are advised to change positions gradually, moving from lying to sitting before standing to prevent sudden drops in blood pressure, and blood pressure shall be measured in three positions- lying, sitting, and standing.
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to: 1. Ensure one of four sampled residents (Resident 32) was supervised and wore a smoking apron during smoking break. This deficient practice had the potential to put residents at risk for injury due to lack of supervision and maintain proper safety precautions while smoking. Findings: During a review of Resident 32's Admission Record (front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the resident), the admission record indicated, Resident 32 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and last readmitted on [DATE].

AAD stated it is important to place the smoking apron and supervise while smoking for the resident's safety. AAD stated this was to help prevent resident from harm, such as getting burned or starting a fire. During an interview on 2/4/25 at 4:00 p.m. with the Activities Director (AD), AD stated the activity staff does not smoke so we supervise by the opening of the sliding glass door. Residents who need supervision should be facing forward so we can supervise them. AD stated that Resident 32 back was facing he door and did not have on a smoking apron. AD stated that Resident 32 did need supervision and a smoking bib. AD stated this was not a way to supervise her, she should have had a smoking apron on and facing the door.
