Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure proper infection control practices were completed during medication administration and hand hygiene for staff between passing trays and offering residents hand hygiene on the resident halls. These were random opportunities for discovery. Facility Census: 56. Findings Include: a) Medication Administration On 03/04/26 at 9:39 AM, an observation of Registered Nurse (RN) #26 preparing medication for Resident #3 was made. During the observation, RN #26 dropped a pill (Zoloft) directly on the medication cart, which had no barrier, and picked the pill up with a bare hand.

Based on resident interview, observation, and staff interview, the faciltiy failed to ensure resident dignity during dining. The facility failed to ensure roommates and tablemates in the dining room received their meal trays at the same time. These were random opportunities for discovery. Resident Identifiers: #27, #55, #15, #54, #40, #31, #50, #13, and #43. Facility Census: 56. Findings included: a) Residents who dined in their rooms During the survey resident council meeting on 03/02/26 at 1:00 PM, residents were asked about their dining experiences. The residents reported that roommates did not receive their meal trays at the same time when they dined in their rooms.

Based on resident interviews, record review, and staff interviews, the facility failed to develop/implement a care plan for resident #2 regarding their role as Resident Council President. The facility also failed to follow interventions for Resident #10's falls. This finding was true for one (1) of 14 resident care plans reviewed during the long term care survey process. Resident identifiers: #2, #10. Facility census: 56a)Resident #2During an interview with Resident #2 on 02/03/26 at 1:20 PM she revealed she was the Resident Council President. During the interview, Resident #2 expressed concern about not having enough evening activities. She stated she holds a weekly reading group at 6:00 PM, but some residents would enjoy crafting and games such as Bingo in the evenings.

Based on observation, record review, resident interviews, and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure the ongoing activity program met the interests and psychosocial needs of residents by a) failing to provide sufficient evening activities desired by residents, b) listing hydration cart services on the activity calendar as an activity, and c) failing to provide sensory stimulation programming for lower-functioning residents. These failures demonstrate the facility did not ensure residents were provided person-centered activities designed to meet individual interests, preferences, and functional abilities. This deficient practice had the potential to affect all residents residing in the facility.Resident identifiers: #7, #10, #13, #14, #18, #24, #32, and #48 Facility census: 56.Findings Include:Review of the facility's activity program, resident council concerns, and activity calendars for January through March 2026 identified concerns related to the variety, appropriateness, and availability of activities for residents with differing interests and functional levels as evidenced by the following:a) Evening ActivitiesResidents #2, #7, #10, #13, #14, #18, #24, #32, #48, and #58 reported a lack of meaningful evening activities.On 03/02/26 at 3:13 PM, Resident #7 stated, I go to bed at 5 because there is nothing else to do.

Residents #2, #7, #10, #13, #14, #18, #24, #32, #48, and #58 agreed to the following concerns:Bingo is often only played for approximately 40 minutes instead of the scheduled hourNot enough activities are offered, including no shopping trips since OctoberLimited evening activities, consisting primarily of a resident-led reading groupA pastor provides a social twice per month, and church is held once per monthDuring the Resident Council meeting, Residents #2, #7, #50, and #48 stated these concerns had previously been brought to staff attention but no follow-through occurred.Record review on 03/04/26 of the January, February, and March Activity Program Calendars revealed:Craft activities: 11Games: 48Evening activities: 10 (all listed as reading groups)During an interview on 03/04/26 at approximately 3:00 PM, the Activities Director (AD) was asked about the limited evening activities and the activity calendar. When asked how the hydration cart listed daily at 1:00 PM qualified as an activity, the AD stated, They told me I had to put that on there. confirming the hydration cart itself is not an activity. When asked about the limited evening activities, the AD stated, The regulations do not say how many evening activities I have to have. I have worked as the AD here for four years and have not been asked for all of this before. Surveyors confirmed there is no specific required number of evening activities, however activity programming must meet the interests and needs of each resident, and multiple residents expressed interest in additional evening activities beyond those currently offered. The AD stated the April calendar would include more evening activities. b) Hydration Cart Listed as an ActivityRecord review on 03/04/26 of the January, February, and March Activity Program Calendars revealed Hydration Cart was listed daily at 1:00 PM as an activity.During an interview with the Activities Director on 03/04/26 at 3:00 PM, when asked how the hydration cart constituted an activity, the AD stated, They told me I had to put that on there.Providing hydration is a clinical service intended to meet residents' nutritional and hydration needs and does not constitute a recreational or interest-based activity. Activities must support residents' physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being through interest-based engagement, and hydration services alone do not meet the criteria for an activity. c) Sensory Stimulation Activities for Low-Functioning ResidentsRecord review revealed Resident #10 had a BIMS score of 99, indicating the resident does not have cognitive capacity.Observations of Resident #10 were as follows;On 03/02/26 at 11:50 AM: Resident observed sitting in the activity room with the television off and crying out.

When asked how residents who were low functioning or unable to communicate could refuse sensory activities, the AD was unable to provide clarification.Regarding Resident #10, the AD stated the resident's daughter did not want the resident to participate in sensory activities. When asked to provide documentation of this request in the resident's medical record, no documentation was foundResidents with cognitive impairment require individualized and sensory-based activity approaches to support engagement and reduce distress behaviors. The facility failed to implement such programming for Resident #10.

She also confirmed she had omitted Losartan potassium and Metoprolol tartrate, which were scheduled to be given to the resident in the morning. No further information was provided through the completion of the survey process.
Based on observation, record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the posted daily nurse staffing information was accurate by not havinf total hours worked on the staff posting.

When informed of the requirement for staff posting the DON stated Ok, i will get working on fixing this now. confirming the staff postings did not contain the required information.
Based on record review, resident interview, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure documentation the physician was notified when the resident experienced a change in condition. Resident Identifier: #2. Facility Census: 56.

Based on observation, record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to store medications within acceptable standards of care.
