Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to assist a resident timely with incontinence care for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for Activities of Daily Living. (Resident B) Findings include:The clinical record for Resident B was reviewed on 5/14/26 at 12:06 p.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, major depressive disorder, anxiety, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (progressive lung disease that blocks air-flow and causes severe breathing difficulty). A Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 2/5/26, indicated Resident B was cognitively intact, had no behaviors for rejection of care, was dependent with toileting and hygiene (the ability to maintain perineal hygiene, adjust cloths before and after voiding or having a bowel movement), was non-ambulatory, and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. During an interview with Resident B and her family member on 5/14/26 at 11:35 a.m., indicated Resident B had an incontinent episode of stool while doing activities. Per family member, when they found her, she had stool coming through her brief and pants, and coming out of her front and backside. The family member indicated she had several meetings with staff to tell them Resident B needed to be checked for incontinence between meals because she does not know when she goes and will just sit in it. Resident B indicated it made them feel terrible to have to wait for help and they cry often because they do not know when they need to be changed due to the incontinence and makes them uncomfortable. During an observation and interview with Resident B on 5/15/26 at 11:15 a.m., they were sitting up in their wheelchair. Resident B indicated they had not been toileted since before breakfast time and they did not know if they were soiled or not. A progress note, dated 5/15/26 at 12:39 p.m., indicated Resident B was toileted before breakfast and was offered again at that time (12:39 p.m.). A plan of care, dated 7/12/22, indicated Resident B had potential for decline in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) due to decreased mobility. The interventions included, but were not limited to, if incontinence occurs, provide incontinent care after each incontinent episode. A plan of care, dated 5/14/26, indicated Resident B had MASD (Moisture Associated Skin Damage) to a gluteal tear skin fold. The interventions included, but were not limited to, keeping resident's skin clean and dry. A Resident Right's policy was provided by the Executive Director (ED) on 5/15/26 at 9:39 a.m. It indicated .Each resident has the right to be treated with dignity and respect.

6 findingsBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain residents' dignity regarding timely answering call lights for provision of activities of daily living care for 12 of 56 residents in the facility. (Residents 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 24, 30, 38, 39, 42, and 44) Findings include:1. The clinical record for Resident 6 was reviewed on 2/23/2026 at 2:05 p.m. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, emphysema (a chronic, progress lung disease) and heart failure (a chronic, serious condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood and oxygen to support the body's needs). A Quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment, dated 12/11/2025, indicated Resident 6 was cognitively intact, did not exhibit behaviors, occasionally incontinent of bladder, always continent of bowel, needed partial to moderate assistance from staff for transferring and toilet hygiene. An activity of daily living care plan, last revised on 12/26/2025, indicated Resident 6 had fluctuating activities of daily living (ADL) status, but needed supervision with transfers and toileting tasks. An incontinence care plan, last revised on 12/26/2025, indicated staff were to assist Resident 6 with toileting as needed and/or per request. During an interview, on 2/20/2026 at 11:12 a.m., Resident 6 indicated call light wait times were bad. He had nights that he had to wait hours to get assistance. He needed assistance with toileting and was supposed to have someone with him when he transferred, but he could not always wait for someone to help him. There were times he had to wait for someone to help him with toilet hygiene and transferring off of the commode that took every bit of two to three hours and his legs will go to sleep waiting. During an interview, on 2/23/2026 at 11:15 a.m., Resident 6 indicated last night he couldn't get assistance on the call light for over an hour. When he had to wait to get help, it made him feel like a pee-on. 2. The clinical record for Resident 24 was reviewed on 2/25/2026 at 9:59 a.m. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, heart failure, kidney failure, and muscle wasting. A Quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment, dated 12/17/2025, indicated Resident 24 was cognitively intact, did not exhibit behaviors of refusal of care, did not have hallucinations or delusions, needed partial to moderate assistance with transferring, and substantial to maximum assistance with toileting hygiene. An activity of daily living care plan, revised 12/31/2025, indicated Resident 24 needed supervision with transferring and partial assistance with toileting. An incontinence care plan, last revised 12/31/2025, indicated staff were to assist Resident 24 with toileting as needed and/or per request. During an interview, on 2/20/2026 at 11:36 a.m., Resident 24 indicated she needs some help, but her spouse (Resident 6) needed a lot more. If it was a good day, they only had to wait 10 to 15 minutes to get their call lights answered. On average it was 30 to 45 minutes and can take up to hours. She did not trust staff to come when the call light was on because she has had to wait so long, so when they really need something like when Resident 6 fell, she will just go out into the hallway and raise a fuss. Resident 24 indicated she didn't want to be that way but it is the only way to get help. When this happened, it was upsetting and frustrating to Resident 24. 3. The clinical record for Resident 42 was reviewed on 2/19/26 at 1:00 p.m. Her diagnoses included, but were not limited to: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, arthritis, and anxiety. The ADL care plan, revised on 12/9/25, indicated she required staffs' assistance to complete ADL tasks completely and safely. The potential for decline in ADL ability care plan, revised 12/9/25, indicated if incontinence occurred, staff were to provide incontinent care after each incontinence episode. An interview was conducted with Resident 42 on 2/19/26 at 1:10 p.m. She indicated staff did not assist her to use the restroom often enough. They did not routinely assist her to use the restroom between breakfast and lunch, so she would remain in a soiled brief until they assisted her. She preferred to use the bed pan, as opposed to soiling in her brief. 4. The clinical record for Resident 39 was reviewed on 2/20/26 at 12:15 p.m. Her diagnoses included, but were not limited to: dysphagia, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes. The physician's orders indicated she was on a regular diet, pureed consistency, starting 2/11/26. She had episodes of the following swallowing issues: Severe oropharyngeal dysphagia such as coughing or choking during meals or medication pass, loss of liquids/solids from the mouth when eating or drinking, holding food in mouth/cheeks or residual food in mouth after meals, complaints of difficulty swallowing, continuous throat clearing, etc. Continue to monitor for additional or increased frequencies and if noted refer to speech therapy services. Diet as ordered with follow-up to the registered dietician if continued swallowing issues or poor intakes were noted. Monitor for any negative outcomes such as new or worsening swallowing issues and notify the physician, starting 2/11/26. The impaired swallowing care plan, revised on 2/11/26, indicated an intervention was to provide adequate time for Resident 39 to feed herself, and staff were to assist her as needed. An interview was conducted with Family Member 5 on 2/20/26 at 12:24 p.m. She indicated Resident 39 normally ate meals in the assisted dining room. On 2/16/26 for the dinner meal, when Resident 39's backside was hurting and she didn't want to go down and eat in the assisted dining room, the facility refused to allow Resident 39 to stay in her room for dinner, so the staff gave her a nutritional supplement instead and assisted her to bed. An interview was conducted with the Director of Health Services (DHS) on 2/23/26 at 1:01 p.m. She indicated residents were allowed to eat meals in their room if they preferred, even if they required staff assistance to eat. 5. The clinical record for Resident 5 was reviewed on 2/20/26 at 11:05 a.m. Her diagnosis included, but was not limited to, diabetes. An interview was conducted with Resident 5 on 2/20/26 at 11:10 a.m. She indicated it took thirty minutes for staff to answer her call light. She was normally waiting for something to drink. 6. The clinical record for Resident 44 was reviewed on 2/20/26 at 11:14 a.m. Her diagnosis included, but was not limited to, diabetes. An interview was conducted with Resident 44 on 2/20/26 at 11:19 a.m. He indicated it usually took staff over thirty minutes to answer her call light. Normally, she just needed assistance to the dining room for meals. They assisted her, but by the time she got down there, the dining room was full. She would like to get down there earlier. 7. A resident council meeting was held on 2/20/26 at 1:30 p.m. Resident 8, Resident 38, and Resident 44 were in attendance and indicated there were not enough staff to assist them, when they needed it. They discussed it every month during council, and were always told the same thing, that they were working on it. The Resident Council Meeting minutes, dated 1/1/26 and 2/25/26, were provided by the ED (Executive Director) on 2/20/26 at 1:00 p.m. The 2/5/26 minutes indicated call light wait times on the second shift were long. The 1/1/26 minutes indicated there were long call light wait times. Resident 38 indicated her daughter came to help her with showers, because she was scared to shower alone, in case she fell. Having to wait for assistance made her feel like the staff didn't care, like she didn't matter. She worried about it, was humiliated by it, and it made her worry. Resident 8 indicated she had to wait an hour to use the restroom before. It made her feel uncomfortable. She felt bad asking for help, because she knew the facility was short staffed. Resident 13 indicated having to wait too long for assistance made her feel like she was not a person. One aide for three halls, even on third shift, was not reasonable. Resident 8 agreed with Resident 13's comments. An interview was conducted with Certified Resident Care Assistant (CRCA) 6 on 2/24/26 at 2:00 p.m. She indicated she normally worked from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., all over the skilled nursing part of the facility. Sometimes they only had one CRCA from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. for the entire facility. When she was the only CRCA working, she was not always able to get her work done. She normally assisted residents with using the restroom/incontinence care on her last round, but with her being the only aide, she did not have time to make sure all of the residents' briefs were changed before she left at 6:00 a.m., so they would have to lay there in a soiled brief until the next shift CRCAs assisted them. She started to assist residents at about 2:30 a.m. to get everyone done by 6:00 a.m., but by then, some of the residents she already assisted, soiled themselves again. Resident 30, Resident 10, and Resident 12 were residents who needed changed every two to three hours, that were wet again before she left, but would have to wait until the next shift to be changed, because her shift was over. There was no time to check and change residents every couple of hours, when she was the only CRCA working. It wasn't fair or safe for the residents to only have one aide at night. There were normally one or two nurses also scheduled to work the night shift with her, but not all of them would help with direct care. Resident 30 was scheduled for showers on third shift, but half the time, they skipped it, because there was only one aide working. Resident 30 would have to wait for the next shift to have his shower. When she worked alone on third shift, she would answer a resident's call light, but there would be two or three more on at once by the time she finished assisting the first resident. By the time she got to the final call light, that resident had waited at least thirty minutes for her to answer their call light. This was typically how a night working alone as the only CRCA in the facility went. The nursing schedules, dated 1/30/26 through 2/24/26, were provided by the ED on 2/20/26 at 2:00 p.m. They indicated only one CRCA worked or was scheduled to work from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on the following dates: 1/30/26, 2/3/26, 2/6/26, 2/16/26, 2/20/26, and 2/24/26. An interview was conducted with the DHS on 2/23/26 at 1:00 p.m. She indicated they started tracking call light response times in November of 2025, after it was identified as a concern. The activity director usually responded to resident council about their concerns. The Perineal Care for Incontinence policy was provided by the ED on 2/25/26 at 12:20 p.m. It indicated, OVERVIEW To provide incontinence care that will keep skin from being exposed to prolonged periods of urine and feces.

(Resident 39) Findings include:The clinical record for Resident 39 was reviewed on 2/20/26 at 12:15 p.m. Her diagnoses included, but were not limited to: dysphagia, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a progressive, treatable, but generally irreversible lung disease characterized by long-term inflammation and restricted airflow,) and diabetes. She received hospice services at the facility. An interview was conducted with Family Member 5 on 2/20/26 at 12:18 p.m. She indicated Resident 39 was currently missing a set of red plaid pajamas and a set of green plaid pajamas. The pajamas had been missing since Christmas of 2025. She'd asked staff about it several times since then, including several Certified Resident Care Assistants (CRCAs) and a nurse, described as Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 7. The Executive Director (ED) provided the grievance log from 9/1/25 to present on 2/23/26 at 12:38 p.m. It did not include any missing pajamas for Resident 39. An interview was conducted with the ED and Social Services Director (SSD) on 2/24/26 at 2:50 p.m. The ED indicated she had not heard anything about missing pajamas for Resident 39. Typically, staff should fill out a grievance form for missing items. The SSD indicated she hadn't heard anything about missing pajamas for Resident 39 either. Resident 39's family member did not mention the missing pajamas at her care plan meeting a few days ago, but they did not ask specifically about missing items, just about any general concerns. An interview and observation were conducted with the Director of Environmental Services (DES) on 2/24/26 at 3:07 p.m. The DES was coming out of Resident 39's room, holding several pajama pieces in her hand. She indicated no one mentioned anything to her about the missing pajamas until today. They kept notes posted in the laundry room of missing items, but none of them were for Resident 39. She found the articles she was currently holding in the laundry room and had just checked to see if they were the ones missing, but they weren't. The Resident Concern Process policy was provided by the ED on 2/23/26 at 12:38 p.m. It indicated, Purpose To provide a process for handling, tracking and resolving customer concerns to provide excellence in customer service.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to transfer a resident in a manner that was safe and comfortable and failed to follow the resident's care profile for a mechanical lift for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for accidents (Resident 43). Finding include:During an interview with Resident 43's family member on 2/19/2026 at 1:39 p.m., the family member indicated the resident was unable to bare weight during transfers on either leg. The facility staff transferred the resident by lifting her underneath her arms with two people and no gait belt. The family member was concerned this was painful to the resident because the resident would moan during transfers. During an observation on 2/23/2026 at 10:45 a.m., the Assistant Director of Health Services (ADHS) and Certified Resident Care Assistant (CRCA) 5 placed a gait belt around Resident 43's waist, the staffs' hands were underneath the resident's arms and transferred the resident from the geriatric chair to the bed. The resident was unable to bare weight on either of her legs and moaned during the transfer. The ADHS and CRCA 5 had to lift the resident underneath her arms to get her to the bed, the resident was totally dependent on the staff during the transfer. CRCA 5 indicated the resident needed to be transferred a 100% (percent) by a mechanical lift, it was not fair to the resident because staff had to tug on her. The ADHS and CRCA transferred the resident with a gait belt and their hands underneath the resident's arms from the bed back to the geriatric chair and the resident did not bare weight and moaned during the transfer. The ADNS indicated he would report the resident was not baring weight during transfers and have therapy assess the resident.

Inspection of February 4, 2025
3 findingsBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to have the interdisciplinary team (IDT) determine and document that self-administration of medications was clinically appropriate for 1 of 1 resident randomly observed with medications at the bedside. (Resident 39) Findings include: The clinical record for Resident 39 was reviewed 1/31/25 at 9:46 a.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertensive heart disease with heart failure, and obesity. During an observation and interview with Resident 39 on 1/30/25 at 10:28 a.m., a full cup of open pills and a clear vial of fluid used for breathing treatments was located beside Resident 39. He indicated the cup of pills were all his morning medications and the vial was his medicine for his breathing treatments that he administered himself. An Annual Minimum Data Set assessment, completed 12/12/24, indicated he was cognitively intact for daily decision making. Resident 39's clinical record, reviewed on 1/31/25 at 11:00 a.m., did not have a physician's order for self-administration of medication and/or self-administration of medication assessment completed. The medication administration record (MAR) was provided by Clinical Support 3 on 2/3/25 at 12:52 p.m. It indicated Resident 39 had orders for the following oral medications to be administered between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.: aspirin, bisoprolol fumarate, cetirizine, citalopram, furosemide, gabapentin, guaifenesin, isosorbide mononitrate, mirtazapine, pantoprazole, potassium chloride, ranolazine, spironolactone, tamsulosin, and ropinirole.
