A physician's order, dated 4/15/26, indicated the resident's right foot was to be wrapped in kerlix (type of gauze dressing) daily. The order was discontinued on 4/17/26. A care plan, initiated 4/16/26, indicated Resident 23 had an open blister on his right foot. He had intermittent edema (swelling) of his feet. He had a history of refusing treatments and labs at times. The goal was for the wound to heal without complications. A Skin and Wound note, dated 4/17/26, indicated Resident 23 had been seen for a new skin issue of a large blister on the top of his right foot that extended to the right great toe and was suggestive of cellulitis. The blister had opened and the area around the wound was edematous (swollen), had redness, was warm and tender to touch. It was recommended to reach out to the primary care physician for an oral antibiotic (medication to treat infection). The wound on the top of the right foot was to be treated with Xeroform (a type of wound dressing) and secured with an ABD pad (thick, absorbent dressing) and kerlix gauze. The wound dressing should have been changed every other day and as needed. A physician's order, dated 4/17/26, indicated the resident was to receive linezolid (antibiotic) 600 milligrams (mg) every 12 hours for 10 doses. Resident 23's clinical record did not contain an order for the Xeroform wound dressing. The April 2026 Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated Resident 23 did not receive linezolid 600 mg on 4/17, 4/18, 4/19, and 4/20/26 at 7:00 a.m.On 4/20/2026 at 11:16 a.m., Resident 23 was observed in the hallway.

LPN 2 removed Resident 23's linezolid medication from the medication cart. The linezolid had been dispensed by the pharmacy on 4/17/26 and 2 of the 10 doses dispensed had been given. LPN 2 was unsure why only 2 doses had been administered. During an interview on 4/22/26 at 11:42 a.m., the Regional Director of Clinical Services indicated Resident 23's antibiotic and wound treatment should have been started when ordered by the physician. On 4/22/26 at 11:42 a.m., the Regional Director of Clinical Services provided the Skin Management Program, dated May 2022, that read .Alterations in skin integrity will be reported to the MD/NP [sic] .Treatment orders will be obtained from the MD/NP [sic] . 410 IAC (Indiana Administrative Code) 16.3.1-37

Inspection of December 11, 2025
5 findingsBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain a resident's room in good repair contributing to a subsequent allegation of a resident for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for safe and clean environment. (Resident D)Findings include:The clinical record for Resident D was reviewed on 12/11/25 at 10:41 a.m. His diagnoses included, but were not limited to: major depressive disorder, cirrhosis of liver, liver transplant, severe alcohol dependence, and chronic kidney disease. The unedited 11/16/25, 7:33 a.m. nurse's note indicated, I was called to the first floor after a phone call from the police asking if there is problem. I replied that I would investigate. Upon reaching the first floor [name of Resident D] was yelling and accusing a new CNA [Certified Nursing Assistant] of pushing him. She did not. The plumbing broke and spilled water on the floor. This was apparently the trigger of his anger The investigative file into the allegation of staff to resident abuse involving Resident D and CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) 2 was provided by the DNS (Director of Nursing Services) on 12/11/25 at 9:48 a.m. The file included the 11/17/25 documented interview with Resident D conducted by the SSD (Social Services Director.) It indicated Resident D reported that Sunday morning (11/16/25) nursing staff came into his shared room to get his roommate dressed for the day. Their normal routine was to turn on the water so that it could warm up. Staff left the water running unattended and moments later, water started to flood from the wall and around the bottom of the sink. Staff came in promptly to address the wet floors and provide the appropriate signage to be careful due to wet floors. Resident D indicated he told CNA 2 she should not have left the water unattended causing flooding on the floors. Resident D stated that CNA 2 asked him, Who are you talking to like that, and pushed him out of the way and exited his room. An interview was conducted with CNA 2 on 12/11/25 at 12:24 p.m. She indicated she currently worked at the facility as a CNA and was still within her first 90 days of employment. The morning of 11/16/25, she assisted Resident D's roommate with incontinence care, which involved running the water in the sink. She turned the water off prior to exiting the room. About an hour later, a co-worker informed her that there was water all over the floor in Resident D's room. CNA 2 retrieved a towel and went into the room to clean up the water. After entering the room, Resident D accused her of causing the water on the floor. Resident D thought she was responsible, because she was the last person in the room to use the sink. CNA 2 stated, I swear I don't remember leaving the water on. CNA 2 informed Resident D she did not leave the water running in the room and walked away. She did not ask him who he was talking to like that or push him out of the way to exit the room. When Resident D jumped off his bed, he flopped into his wheelchair, which wasn't locked, so it went backwards. Then Resident D immediately accused her of pushing him. CNA 2 was standing near the door at this time, like six feet away, from Resident D. She was in the room for less than two minutes.An interview and observation were conducted with Resident D in his room on 12/11/25 at 12:46 p.m. There was a small sink in the room against the wall. The drainpipe coming from the sink, leading into the wall, was easily visible. The wall to the right of the sink had ripples, bubbles, and peeling paint leading from the bottom of the wall up 4 feet, as well as missing baseboard. The bottom right part of the wall was dark in color. Resident D indicated the bubbles in the wall were from water damage. The sink did not overflow. It was the drain return pipe leading into the wall that leaked. He'd told the maintenance director about it a thousand times, and filled out a work order for it eight months ago. When the drainpipe leaked, water went into the hallway as well. The maintenance director doesn't do anything. When the CNAs came into his room to assist his roommate with incontinence care, the first thing they did was turn the water on, as it took a while for the water to warm. The plumbing can't take running water for too long. After the water ran from the room, it would then run down the hallway and staff had to put out the yellow wet floor sign. Staff had to use a bunch of towels, so no one slipped on the water. This occurrence happened routinely, about once a month. He was worried about the potential of breathing in mold as he believed his immune system was compromised. The water had been leaking, and the wall had looked like this since he'd lived in the room. The census tab of the electronic health record indicated Resident D began residing in his room on 3/2/25. On 12/11/25 at 1:04 p.m., an interview and observation of Resident D's room were conducted with the HS (Housekeeping Supervisor,) as the Maintenance Director was unavailable. The HS indicated he noticed the condition of Resident D's wall before. It looked like structural damage to him, but he was unsure what was happening. The facility was supposed to begin renovations sometime after Thanksgiving (11/27/25,) but they hadn't yet begun. The Resident's Rights policy was provided by the DNS on 12/11/25 at 2:02 p.m. It indicated, The Resident has a right to prompt efforts by the Facility to resolve grievances .This Citation relates to Intake 2667249.3.1-19(f)(5)

The Unit Manager had an x-ray completed and there was no fracture. The DNS indicated she did not do any safety training with the staff or implement in interventions to prevent an accident like this to happen again. During an interview with the DNS on 12/11/25 at 11:23 a.m., the DON indicated the facility did not have a accident policy. During an interview with the Regional Director Of Clinical Services on 12/11/25 at 12:50 p.m., indicated the facility did not have a policy on transporting residents in wheelchairs. During an interview with the DNS on 12/11/25 at 1:00 p.m., indicated the facilities expectations for staff transporting dependent residents in their wheelchair was to transport the residents in a safe and slow manner down the hallway and to watch their surroundings and make ensure there was enough clearance/room when going around corners. 2. The clinical record for Resident B was reviewed on 12/10/25 at 11:10 a.m. His diagnoses included, but were not limited to: schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety. He was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] after an in-patient psychiatric hospitalization. The Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 11/10/25, indicated he was cognitively intact. The physician's orders indicated he may go LOA (leave of absence) with responsible party and medications, effective 8/8/25. The 11/13/25, 2:30 p.m. nurse's note indicated, Resident observed in between front double doors with grocery bag in hand. Writer assisted resident back inside building. Resident stated he went to gas station for pop and chips. Writer informed resident he should not leave the building without staff due to safety and if he needs snacks the staff can get it for him. Weather was sunny and resident was dressed appropriately. No visible injuries noted. Writer assisted resident back to room for head to toe assessment no abnormalities noted. Full set of vitals completed and within normal limits. ED [Executive Director,] SSD [Social Services Director,] and Family notified. The IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) note, dated 11/14/25, written by the SSD, indicated, Description of behavior: Resident excited [sic] building to go to gas station to get snacks. Immediate interventions: Resident was assessed by staff and educated on following the loa policy. Also staff informed resident that facility will provide snacks. Assessment of potential correlation to root cause: Psychiatric conditions (depression, anxiety, psychosis, etc.) Dx of schizoaffective disorder bipolar type. Root cause of behavioral expression: Due to resident's dx [diagnosis] of schizoaffective disorder he has a behavioral expressions of impulsiveness. Describe preventative intervention relating to above root cause: Resident was assessed and given a Wanderguard for safety due to fluctuating Bims [brief interview for mental status.] Care plan updated and current interventions revised as applicable: Yes. Communication provided as to above intervention.: yes. An interview was conducted with the DNS and RDCS (Regional Director of Clinical Services) on 12/10/25 at 1:43 p.m. The DNS indicated she was present in the facility when Resident B returned to the facility on [DATE] after he was LOA without a responsible party. The RDCS indicated he was gone around 30 minutes. He had a BIMS of 15 and knew where he was going, but his physician did not think he should be LOA without a responsible party. The investigation file into Resident B's 11/13/25 LOA was provided by the RDCS on 12/10/25 at 12:30 p.m. It included an 11/14/25 progress note, written by Physician 5, Resident B's physician. It indicated, Informed today that the patient had left the facility but returned after he had purchased snack and a drink. It appears that the patient waited by the front door and slipped out when other visitors were leaving. It was not an incident in which he wandered out of the facility, it was intentional. Although he has a BIMS of 15, there are periods of time where that BIMS is not 15. He has dx of schizoaffective disorder and has episodes of cycling. During these periods of cycling, he is manic and behavior is unpredictable (has required several hospitalizations due to behaviors) and it is difficult to reason with him. He has hx [history] of impulsive behavior and poor decision making. I would NOT recommend patient have an independent LOA. I agree that a wanderguard should be placed for patient protection. I would be very concerned that if he were to leave again that his behavior could potentially put him at risk for injury. If he were to be outside of the facility alone and encountered a situation that was overwhelming, he could potentially be injured not just physically. His mental and emotional status needs to be protected as much as possible. If there was a responsible friend or family member who was willing to take him out, that would be acceptable. An interview was conducted with Resident B's guardian, Family Member 6, on 12/10/25 at 1:10 p.m. He indicated he was not okay with Resident B having left the facility alone on 11/13/25.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide oxygen as ordered by the physician and failed to maintain oxygen tubing and humidifier bottle in a sanitary manner for 1 of 1 random observation of oxygen use (Resident F). Review of the clinical record of Resident F on 12/10/25 at 11:08 a.m., indicated the resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, muscle weakness, anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. The plan of care for Resident F, dated 8/18/25, indicated the resident had impaired gas exchange and utilized oxygen. The interventions included, but were not limited to, administer oxygen as ordered. The December 2025 physician order for Resident F, indicated she was ordered oxygen 3 liters per nasal cannula every shift and change tubing and humidity every week on Sunday. The quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident F, dated 11/18/25, indicated the resident was cognitively intact for daily decision making. The resident was consistent and reasonable. During an interview and observation with Resident F on 12/10/25 at 11:32 a.m., the resident's oxygen tubing and humidifier bottle was lying on the floor, neither one had a date on it. The resident's oxygen was set a 3 liters. Resident F indicated someone was supposed to get her new oxygen tubing and humidifier bottle, but they had not yet. The resident indicated she had been waiting for an hour for her oxygen to be fixed. The resident indicated her oxygen concentrator had been broke a long time and the humidifier bottle always sat on the floor. The resident activated her call light. The Assistant of Nursing Services (ADNS) indicated the nurse was supposed to care for Resident F's oxygen tubing and humidifier bottle. The ADNS brought in new oxygen tubing and a new humidifier bottle and dated both. The ADNS indicated the resident's oxygen concentrator strap was broke to hold the humidifier water and she would attempt to find another oxygen concentrator. The ADNS was unable to find another oxygen concentrator and placed the humidifier bottle in a bag so it was not in direct contact with the floor. The ADNS checked Resident F's oxygen saturations and it was between 92-94 % without the oxygen in place, when the ADNS provided Resident F with her oxygen, the resident's oxygen saturation went up to 99%.During an interview with the Director Of Nursing Services (DNS) on 12/11/25 at 1:00 p.m., indicated it was the facilities expectation that staff would ensure residents were receiving oxygen as ordered by the physician and the tubing and humidifer bottle should be dated.

1 findingBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 1 of 3 residents reviewed for receipt of physician-ordered medications received their ordered anti-convulsant (seizure prevention medications) and/or anti-anxiety medications as ordered for 3 consecutive days, resulting in an increase in the number of seizures and a hospitalization related to the increase in seizures. (Resident B) Findings include:The clinical record of Resident B was reviewed on 11-12-25 at 11:14 a.m. His diagnoses included, but were not limited to, traumatic hemorrhage of the cerebrum (brain bleed), seizures, general anxiety, impulse disorder, aphasia (does not speak/nonverbal). It indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], from an area hospital. The most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 10-30-25, indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired, was nonverbal, had no concerns with his short-term memory, but his long-term memory was affected. The current physician's order indicated the resident was to receive an anti-convulsant and anti-anxiety medications. He was dependent on the staff for most activities of daily living, such as bathing, toileting and physical movement and required the use of a wheelchair for mobility. A review of a progress note, from the attending Nurse Practitioner, dated 10-20-25, indicated Currently at neurological baseline but experiencing increased seizures due to lack of seizure medication administration since admission .Recommending transfer to ER [emergency room] for evaluation and treatment due to increased seizures and medication noncompliance. The Assessment/Plan portion of the note indicated Resident B's, Epilepsy, was not intractable .[had] increased seizure activity .[medications of] Phenobarbital, Ativan, Vimpat, Dilantin (not received since admission); Recommending transferring patient to ER for eval and treatment. A review of Resident B's progress notes, from 10-17-25 through 10-20-25, failed to acknowledge Resident B had not received any of the anti-convulsant medications or an anti-anxiety medication. The medication administration record (MAR) for the same time-period indicated the same medications, Phenobarbital, Ativan, Vimpat and Dilantin were unavailable for administration. The progress notes and the MAR failed to identify what steps, if any, had been taken to discover why the facility had not received the medications from the contracted pharmacy. The progress notes and MAR did not indicate any notifications had been made to the pharmacy, to the resident or resident's responsible party, the attending physician or facility administration regarding the lack of medication availability. A review of the physician's ordered medications for the resident not received were, specifically, Phenobarbital, Ativan, Vimpat and Dilantin. The resident's MAR was reviewed for the time period from 10-17-25 through 10-20-25, and indicated the following: - Phenobarbital 32.4 mg (milligrams) twice daily for seizures: 6 consecutive doses were not administered.- Phenobarbital 64.8 mg twice daily for seizures: 6 consecutive doses were not administered.- Ativan 2 mg three times daily for general anxiety: 7 consecutive doses were not administered. The morning dose, on 10-20-25, was documented as administered.- Vimpat 100 mg twice daily for seizures: 6 consecutive doses were not administered.- Dilantin 100 mg daily at bedtime for seizures: 3 consecutive doses were not administered.An additional medication, an anti-psychotic and identified for Resident B's use for general anxiety, olanzapine (Zyprexa) 10 mg twice daily was noted to have not been available for administration for five of six doses during the timeframe from 10-17-25 through 10-20-25. The MAR indicated Resident B was administered one dose of olanzapine 10mg on the admission evening of 10-17-25. In an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 11-13-25 at 11:17 a.m., she indicated she learned about Resident B not having his anti-seizure or anti-anxiety meds until Monday morning, 10-20-25, when she read the Nurse Practitioner's note about him not receiving his meds and being sent out to the ER for evaluation for his increase in seizures during the night shift of 10-19-25 into 10-20-25. She shared her normal expectations for any new resident admission would be that each new admission/resident's meds should be received within 1-2 hours of admission. She indicated there has not been any formal investigation into this event at this point or any additional training or education for the nursing staff regarding lack of medications. She indicated her typical expectations for a resident not having meds available are to check the Omnicell (the facility's emergency drug device) for availability of the needed medications. If the meds are not available there, the nurse should then reach out to the MD to inform him/her the medication is unavailable [allowing] the MD the opportunity to write an order to hold or change the med to something different. The nurse should also reach out to the contracted pharmacy to stat [send emergently] the med out to the facility or discover what the holdup may be. The pharmacy should let the nurse know if there is an issue obtaining the med or if they might require a hard copy of the script. The nurse should also call me to let me know there is a problem in getting the meds for a resident. I might be able to give them some ideas as to what the next steps may be. The DON added the nursing staff should also be documenting what problems they have encountered with accessing the medications and what they have done to fix the problem. The DON indicated she was unable to locate any documentation that reflected any problems the facility had encountered accessing the meds. The DON indicated the facility does have a policy that addresses what staff are to do and who to notify regarding any missing medication doses. A progress note, dated 10-18-25 at 11:30 p.m., indicated Resident B had a seizure episode of approximately 2 minutes in length. A second progress note, dated 10-20-25 at 6:03 a.m., indicated on the night shift of 10-19-25 through the early morning hours of 10-20-25, Resident experienced five seizures, each lasting approximately 1-2 minutes .On-call provider and DON were notified and advised to continue close monitoring .provider informed via communication book .Will continue to monitor for further seizure activity and notify provider of any changes in condition. The next progress note, dated 10-20-25 at 11:16 a.m., indicated Resident B was in the process of being transferred to an area hospital for evaluation and treatment. In an interview with the DON, on 11-12-25 at 12:20 p.m., she indicated she was unable to locate any policies which referenced what nursing staff are to do in the event a medication is not available from the contracted pharmacy. In an interview with the Executive Director and Corporate Nurse, on 11-13-25 at 3:05 p.m., a policy for medication administration was requested. The Corporate Nurse indicated the facility does not have a specific policy on medication administration but does expect the staff to follow Standards of Practice. The Corporate Nurse indicated the facility does not have a particular policy on documentation, as the facility documents by exception. A request was made for the narcotic record for Resident B for the 10-20-25, administration of the morning dose of the lorazepam (Ativan). In an interview, on 11-13-25 at 5:13 p.m., with the ED and DON, the ED indicated the facility was unable to locate any documentation to substantiate the 10-20-25, morning dose of lorazepam (Ativan) was actually administered. The DON indicated the MAR may have been documented incorrectly. The DON indicated she was able to locate in-service education on the topic of medication administration, most recently provided by the facility for the nursing staff in the summer of 2025.
