**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** During a confidential interview, between 6/12/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 100 indicated there was only one CNA in each building. If a resident required the use of a full body mechanical lift, sit to stand, or required two staff members assistance for mobility/transfers or toileting, then the nurse would be called to come over and help. Sometimes there was a wait until the nurse was free to come over. Some days were harder than others. During an confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 101 indicated some [NAME] were harder because there were some residents who required a lot of care. There were five out of ten residents who required the use of a full body mechanical lift to get up or be put back to bed. The lift would require the assistance of two staff members. The nurses were usually called from another villa to help the CNA do the lift, watched the villa while the CNA toileted residents, or was giving showers. Sometimes there was a wait until staff were finished what they were doing before coming over to help the CNA. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 to 6/16/25, Staff 102 indicated there were aides who floated between the buildings to help the CNA with care of the heavier care residents. There was only one CNA for each building. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were usually better than the four other days. It was a struggle to get everything done by end of shift. Truthfully, the CNAs had too many tasks to do. The CNAs had to cook the meals sent over, serve the residents and clean up, cleaning the rooms, vacuuming and doing laundry, resident care, toileting, ADL's (Activities of Daily Living) on those that needed help and showers. Staff were supposed to also do the activities. A lot of times a resident would suddenly tell staff they needed to go to the bathroom while in the middle of serving. The CNA would have to stop, take them to the bathroom, then come back and sanitize and re-glove and re-heat the meal and then finally serve the residents. Staff G indicated that at times, staff had to put off a resident's shower because there was no time. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 103 indicated it was common for only one aide to be scheduled per villa. There were aides that floated between the [NAME] to help out. Having a floater really helped the CNA in doing care. The aide really struggled to get her work done. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 104 indicated there was only one CNA for each villa. At times, they could not get all of their tasks done in caring for the residents although she tried really hard. It got tough to get to all of the residents, do their care, toilet or do showers. Staff J indicated they were not able to do the activities that were scheduled. If a resident required two staff members assistance or the use of a full body mechanical lift, they would have to call the nurse or another villa to get someone to come over and help. Sometimes the residents had to wait on getting up or for care until the other person was free to come over and help. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 105 indicated some of the [NAME] really needed a second aide working depending on the acuity of the care the residents needed. It was tough for the day shift CNAs because the night shift only got certain people up before they left. Then the day shift CNA had to get the rest of the residents up along with all their other duties. The current facility policy, dated 09/21/23 titled, Guidelines for Bathing, which was provided by nursing staff, indicated the following: Policy: To cleanse the skin and to promote circulation .Verify bath schedule or need .never leave a resident in tub or shower room unattended . 3.1-38(a)(3) 3.1-38(a)(2)(A) 3.1-38(a)(2)(B) 3.1-38(A)(2)(C) Based on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure ADL's (Activities of Daily Living) were provided for 3 of 21 residents reviewed for ADL care.

During an observation, on 6/11/25 at 10:10 a.m., Resident 3 turned on her call light and asked CNA 11 to provide her with assistance getting out of bed. CNA 11 informed the resident that she could not get her up because she was busy putting the groceries away. During an observation, on 6/11/25 at 10:30 a.m., the Qualified Medication Aide (QMA) 12 indicated I don't even know who [Resident 3] is. or I could help. During an observation, on 6/11/25 at 12:50 p.m., Resident 3 remained in bed with her gown on and lying on her back. The resident's hair was still unkept and appeared unwashed.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to follow appropriate infection control guidelines related to complete surveillance documentation to analyze a pattern of know infectious symptoms and patterns. This had the potential to affect 66 of 66 residents residing in the facility. ([NAME] 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) Findings include: The Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Meeting summary, dated 6/3/25, indicated the infection control book was not able to be located and the facility will continue to update the book for 2025. The Immediate Corrective Actions indicated Identified issue work on last 90 days continue to update. The review of the January 2025 updated Infection Control/Antibiotic Stewardship documentation, the following infections were documented: - 4 respiratory infections for residents. - 11 urinary tract infections (UTIs) for residents. - 4 skin infections for residents. The updated documentation lacked the date of onset, symptoms, culture date with results, re-culture date, isolation, resolution date, or whether the infection met the criteria. The villa floorplans lacked documentation of monitoring for patterns of infections. The review of the February 2025 updated Infection Control/Antibiotic Stewardship documentation, the following infections were documented: - 7 respiratory infections for residents. - 9 urinary tract infections (UTIs) for residents. - 2 skin infections for residents. The updated documentation lacked the date of onset, symptoms, culture date with results, re-culture date, isolation, resolution date, or whether the infection met criteria.

During an interview, on 6/11/25 at 10:32 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) and Infection Preventionist (IP), indicated the Infection Prevention for identifying, tracking, monitoring and reporting diseases would be in the binder and should stay up to date. It had not been kept up to date and they couldn't find the Infection Prevention binder. They reproduced it from January to June 2025. All monitoring was now caught up. They had gone backwards for trending and tracking. It was important to keep the Infection Prevention up to date for education for staff and residents and for resident monitoring needs for the prevention of disease spread. Infections came from other people, so the Infection Prevention documentation was important for monitoring. During an interview, on 6/13/25 at 12:41 p.m., the Regional Director of Clinical Operations (RDCO) indicated the Infection Prevention binder could not be located. They started a new 2025 binder, going back 90 days immediately on 6/3/25. They started to work to update the Infection Prevention binder back from January 2025 to now. A new IP had been recently hired and still had to be IP certified. Currently the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) was certified and monitored with the Infection Prevention.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. During random observations of Villa 6, between 6/9/25 and 6/11/25, Residents 6, 7, and 20 were in a recliner asleep in the common area. No activities were going on either by the Activity Director or the CNAs. During random observations of Villa 2, between 6/9/25 and 6/11/25, Residents 19, 49, and 3 were in the dining room area just sitting at the table sipping coffee. No activities were going on either by the Activity Director or the CNAs. Resident 1 was observed in her recliner in the common area during random observations, between 6/9/25 and 6/12/25. The resident was usually asleep or just looking around. No activities were occurring on any of the observations. An Activities Care Plan, with a start date of 5/20/22 and a revision date of 2/2/25, indicated Resident 1 had been sitting in a recliner in the day room for long periods of time. The resident indicated she was open to attending all group activities as she was a very social person, but needed to be invited and encouraged to attend due to dementia. The goal was for her to participate in activities of interest in both her and other [NAME] three times a week. The interventions included, but were not limited to, encourage her to participate in all activities; socialize with staff and others during meals and care; and staff to assist her to all activities of interest. During a confidential interview, between on 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 102 indicated that truthfully, the CNAs had too many tasks to do. The CNAs' had to cook the meals sent over, serve the residents meals and cleaning up, cleaning the rooms, vacuuming and doing laundry, resident care, toileting, ADLs on those that needed help and showers, and the CNAs were expected to do the activities. The Activity Director came in every morning and dropped off some coloring pages and the Daily Chronicle for the residents. She then left the villa. Most of the time, the coloring pages went into the trash as none of the residents wanted to color. If no one was up or out of their room when they came to the villa, they would leave and go to another villa. She did not wait for any of the residents to come nor go around and let them know what the activity was. The activities really were not occurring according to the calendar. Staff 102 indicated they would love to have the time to do the ladies nails, but that was also something activities could do with the residents, but they didn't. The ladies loved it when they got their nails and hair done. One time in Villa 5 the activity staff took the residents outside on the patio, had some drinks for them and they listened to the radio. It was great the residents had fun. But it had not been done since a long time ago. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 104 indicated there was only one CNA for each villa and the Qualified Medication Aide(QMA) or the nurse would help if they could. Doing activities was also one of the duties the aide was expected to do. Although she made sure to interact with her residents every day, she really was not able to do the activities that were scheduled. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 105 indicated she tried to do hair and nails for the ladies one time a week if able, but was unable to do any of the other activities During an interview with the Activity Director, on 6/12/25 at 10:25 a.m., she indicated she was hoping for an activity assistant, but was not sure she would get one. She indicated the morning activity was to have coffee and the daily chronicle to read in the mornings and watched TV news. She would leave coloring pages and a newsletter in each villa for the residents to do. Then, in the afternoon was her big activity and she would go to each villa and spend 30 minutes for activities every day. During random observations, of Villa 2 and Villa 6, between 6/9/25 and 6/12/25, no activities were occurring. The Activities Director was also not observed to be spending 30 minutes in each villa at any time from 6/9/25 through 6/13/25. During an interview with Resident 20, on 6/12/25 at 1:00 p.m., she indicated she stayed in her bed most of the time, but would like to know what activities were occurring and when they were scheduled in case she wanted to go. No one ever came around to tell her. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 101 indicated the Activities Director was in the villa earlier and played balloon toss she thought with about five residents for about five minutes and then left. During a confidential interview and observation, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Staff 102 indicated the Activity Director was in the villa earlier for a few minutes, a balloon toss was scheduled for this afternoon, but no balloon toss or any other activity had occurred. Two balloons were sitting on the dining room table with four residents and a family member. The family member indicated the Activity Director was going to be right back with ice cream for the residents. He also indicated the balloon toss did not occur. A review of the activity calendar which hung on the wall in a villa, on 6/12/25 at 2:00 p.m., indicated the Baking with Residents activity was canceled. The Activities Director she was going to be passing ice cream to the CNAs for National CNA Week and then to the residents. During the Resident Council meeting, on 6/10/25 at 1:01 p.m., Resident 8 indicated there were no outings, but she would like to have those. Resident 20 indicated the monthly calendar of activities provided to the residents was small and she couldn't read it. The activities were not held in every villa but were only held at specific [NAME]. There were not a lot of activities, at the [NAME], but they did have a musical in one villa a long time ago and she enjoyed that. The staff used to bring residents to activities at a villa at that time. The evenings had no activities. Bingo was listed on the calendar several times, but they didn't know where it was, if any. She would attend more activities, if she only knew where they were at. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 106 indicated activities were completed by CNAs and they didn't have time. If they tried to do activities then showers weren't done. Coloring was all the residents had for activities. The Activities Director completed the Resident Council meeting but was only at the meeting for 5 minutes. The Activity Director just documented from a small list of questions. The Activity Director wasn't provided with help to do the activities in all the [NAME]. Staff were supposed to conduct activities and were asked to take residents to activities in other [NAME] if a resident asked to go.

During multiple observations, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, three residents were sitting at the dining table in their wheelchairs or in a dining chair. No activity was being performed, and the residents were not usually communicating with each other. Other residents were observed lying in their beds asleep.

A CNA was in a resident's room assisting a resident. The TV was on in the hearth without sound and no activities were occurring. During an interview, on 6/11/25 at 9:18 a.m., the Executive Director (ED) indicated anyone in a villa could transfer a resident into another villa for an activity. She had transferred residents herself. She would make sure that a staff member was in the building before leaving with a resident. During an observation of the Monthly calendar, on 6/11/25 at 9:27 a.m., the activities were to begin daily at 10:00 a.m. with Daily Chronicles. No specific villa location was on the calendar. During an observation, on 6/11/25 at 11:06 a.m., the Activities Director entered Villa 7 and indicated to the CNA that a karaoke day in Villa 2 would be conducted at 2:00 p.m. She checked the coloring sheets and indicated, Oh good, they have only one of those sheets left. During an observation, between 6/9/25 and 6/13/25, the Activities Director entered the villa, and a staff member asked her why the activities were held in Villa 2 most of the time. The Activities Director indicated it was because more residents in [NAME] 3, 4, and 2 attended the activities and it was closer for them to go to Villa 2. The Activity Director's Job Description, dated 1/24/24, included, but was not limited to, . The Activity Director will be held accountable and responsible for the decision making and must assure that an ongoing program of activities is designed to meet, in accordance with the comprehensive assessment, the interests and the physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident . 4.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 100 indicated there was only one CNA in each building. If a resident was a mechanical full body lift, sit to stand, or required two staff members for mobility/transfers or toileting, then they would have to call the nurse to come over and help, but sometimes there was a wait until they were free to come over. Some days were harder than others. Staff 100 indicated they had to make time to get all their work done, even on weekends. Showers were being given as they made sure they were. For the most part the villa cleaning got done, maybe not the full deep cleaning that was supposed to be done in 2 rooms every day. During a confidential interview between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 101 indicated some [NAME] were harder out of all the [NAME] as there were residents who required a lot of care. There were several residents who required a full body mechanical lift to get up or to be put back to bed and that took two staff members to complete the task. The nurses were usually called from another villa to help the CNA do the mechanical full body lift or watched the villa while the CNA toileted residents or were giving showers. Sometimes there was a wait until the nurse finished what they were doing before coming over to help the CNA. During a confidential interview between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 102 indicated there usually was a floater to several buildings to help that CNA with care of the heavier care residents. There was only one CNA for each building. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were usually better than the four other days as that was when the number of floaters and staffing were good, not so on the other days. She indicated she worked several [NAME] and it was a struggle to get everything done by end of shift. The CNAs had too many tasks to do. They had to cook the meals sent over, serving them and cleaning up, cleaning the rooms, vacuuming and doing laundry, resident general care, toileting, ADL's (Activities of Daily Living) on those that needed help and showers. The CNAs were supposed to also do the activities. A lot of times a resident will suddenly tell the aide they needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of serving a meal. Staff would have to stop, take them to the bathroom, then came back and sanitized and re-gloved and had to re-heat the meal before finally serving the residents. The CNA had to make sure the nurse was in the villa before anyone was taken into the shower room or toileted. They were so afraid a resident would fall when the aide was in a room and might get hurt. When the shower or care was finished, they would come out and then the CNA tried to locate all the residents to be sure they were okay. She would not do a mechanical full body lift by herself for fear the resident would fall out of it and would get hurt. Some staff members just grabbed the mechanical full body lift and would go on even though two staff members were needed. Some days staff were just not able get to the daily cleaning of the rooms or the vacuuming as they were so busy. At times, staff had to put off a resident's shower because there was no time. Between one and two o'clock, they were able to get more done, but only if there were the supplies needed. If supplies or snacks/food from dietary were needed, they would have to call the another staff member to come over and cover the villa while the CNA went to get the items. If the staff member was not available, then they would have to call around to the other [NAME] or dietary to bring what was needed. She would love to have the time to do the ladies nails. The ladies loved it. Management did not come out and help. During a confidential interview, between on 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 103 indicated it was common for only one aide to be scheduled per villa. There were aides who floated between the [NAME] to help out. Having a floater really helped the CNA in doing care. Maybe there should be more CNAs to float. The aide really struggled to get the work done. During a confidential interview, between on 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 104 indicated there was only one CNA for each villa. There were times of not being able to get all the tasks done in caring for the residents although they tried really hard. If help was needed, they had to call the a staff member from the other [NAME] to come and help. They were usually alone with no floater. The staff were expected to do activities also. It got tough to get the residents all up, do their care, toilet or do showers, all the cleaning and vacuuming, cooking and laundry. With the assigned tasks, they were not able to do the activities that were scheduled. If a resident required two staff members for assistance or the use of a full body mechanical lift, they would have to call the nurse or other [NAME] to get someone to come over to help if available. Sometimes the residents had to wait on getting up or for care until the other person was free to come over and help. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 105 indicated they tried to do hair and nails for the ladies one time a week and would pitch in to help the single aide if able. They did not know who the floaters were but they never came to the villa. Some of the [NAME] really needed a second aide working depending on the acuity of the care the residents needed. It was tough for the day staff member as the night shift only got certain people up before they left. Then the day shift staff member had to get the rest of them up along with all their other duties. They remained a high risk for falls and skin issues with only one aide in each of the villa. It used to be two aides for the villa, but it changed about two years ago to one CNA. 4. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 107 indicated one aide and one floating nurse were alone on the floor and that was common. If a staff member was called to help in another villa and they were providing care, no one would take care of a resident in need, even if it was necessary. During an interview, on 6/10/25 at 1:01 p.m., Resident C indicated they had been left alone in a villa with no other staff recently. They had not had any trouble yet. They would have to go get someone if they needed help. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 106 indicated no other staff was present in the villa, when one staff provided care. Staff 106 indicated there was a total of only two staff in the villa. It happened often. They had a lot of fall risks and one staff member had to wait to do a shower until the other returned. There was a lot of work to complete in a villa. Resident care was a big part of it. It could cause a lot of stress for new hires. The main issue was call-ins or a lack of scheduled staff. Staff were supposed to conduct activities and were asked to take residents to activities in other [NAME]. Staff would take turns staying in the villa if a resident wanted to go to an activity. They really needed 2 staff to stay in each villa. One resident was a fall risk because he would just get up on his own. When a staff member gave a shower and no one else was there, it made giving care to others difficult. They had sometimes skipped giving a thorough shower or adequate grooming if a staff member was alone in a villa. Showers had not been skipped in a long time, but it wasn't a great shower. It took 20 to 30 minutes for each resident when staff got the resident up in the morning. The toilet wouldn't get cleaned and the vacuuming didn't get completed at times. During multiple observations, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, only one CNA and one nurse were in the villa. At times, no one was visible due to being in one resident's room. Three residents were sitting at the dining table in their wheelchairs or in a dining chair. No activity was being performed, and the residents were not usually communicating with each other. Other residents were observed lying in their beds asleep. Three female residents were observed sitting alone at the dining table and kitchen counter. The TV was on without sound in the hearth. A CNA was in a resident's room assisting a resident and no other staff were visible. Two residents required two staff for assistance with transfers. One of the two required a full body mechanical lift to be used and both were fall risks in a villa. During a confidential interview, between 6/9/25 and 6/16/25, Staff 108 indicated they had never worked in a villa where there were two CNAs and one nurse. The workload was difficult when there was only one CNA, because residents would have to wait on medications and communication with residents' families had to wait. Both staff had to perform physical transfers or when using a full body lift for transfers. One staff member had to monitor the villa when the other gave showers or was providing care. The review of the Villa Day Shift Duties, on 6/13/25 at 12:04 p.m., indicated the following was to be completed by a CNA each day: - Shower Schedule: Days Mondays and Thursdays for rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], Tuesdays and Fridays for rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], Wednesdays and Saturdays for rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], and Sundays for room [ROOM NUMBER]. - Shower Schedule: Nights Mondays and Thursdays for room [ROOM NUMBER], Tuesdays and Fridays for room [ROOM NUMBER], Wednesdays and Saturdays for room [ROOM NUMBER], and Tuesdays for room [ROOM NUMBER]. - If there was down time, please go to other [NAME] and grab any stock that was needed. - All toilets must be cleaned on every day, this was just days shift's responsibility. - Make sure all food was dated and labeled. - Deep cleans Mondays for rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], Tuesdays for rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], Wednesdays for rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], Thursdays for rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], and Fridays for rooms [ROOM NUMBERS]. -Get Report from night shift aides, Receive pager and key, Record temperatures for all refrigerators/freezers/pantry. -Prepare breakfast.

During an interview, on 6/11/25 at 11:20 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 4 indicated she was the nurse on duty when the resident went out the gate. She was responsible for [NAME] 6 and 8. At the time the resident left the courtyard she was in Villa 6. There was 1 Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) was in the building, and she was assisting another resident. When she left villa 6, she entered the back entrance of Villa 8. As she entered the unit the CNA was coming out of a resident room. She heard the doorbell ring and when she answered the door the resident was standing there. The resident had a scared look on her face. Management had discontinued all wander guards, and she felt like the wander guards would help alert staff. During an interview, on 6/12/25 at 1:00 p.m., CNA 8 indicated she was assisting another resident to bed, and it took a while to get her in bed. After she assisted the resident to bed, she left the room and saw the nurse entering through the back door. She had been in another villa with those residents. They heard the doorbell ring, and the nurse went to answer the door, and it was Resident B. She walked out to the courtyard and observed the gate unlocked. The gate had a pad lock, but it was hanging on the latch unlocked. She did not know how the gate got unlocked. 3.

The CNA indicated that in one villa there were 4 residents that require two-person physical assistance or the use of the mechanical lift. The CNA indicated the residents were supposed to have two showers a week. Sometimes it was hard to get two to three residents' daily baths done during a shift with all the other duties to complete. The residents who required two staff members for transfers would just receive a partial bed bath. During an observation, on 6/11/25 at 10:00 a.m., Resident 3 was ringing her bell and asked the CNA to get her out of bed. The CNA 11 told the resident that she could not get her up at this time due to being busy doing dishes and it had been a tense morning. The resident still had a gown on and her hair was greasy.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the facility was adequately staffed to provide adequate care and safety for the residents. This deficient practice had the potential to affect 67 of 67 residents residing in the facility. Findings include: During an interview, between 3/24/25 and 3/27/25, Staff Member 11 indicated there was supposed to be an aide in every Villa but that did not always happen. When Staff Member 11 had two [NAME] to administer medications, Staff Member 11 would have to flip flop with the aide in Villa 3 which would leave the residents in Villa 1 alone with no staff in the building for approximately two minutes. There had, however been times when Villa 1 had been left unattended for 5 to 10 minutes. The way the facility staffed the [NAME] was not safe nor was it fair to the residents. During an interview, between 3/24/25 and 3/27/25, Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) 12 indicated the facility was currently short staffed. She had cared for residents that required assistance of two staff members and frequently had to wait to change residents or put them to bed until another staff member could assist her. For the most part, CNA 12 could complete all tasks assigned, however, when she worked in Villa 5, she was not able to complete her showers. During an interview, between 3/24/25 and 3/27/25, Qualified Medication Aide (QMA) 13 indicated she had worked as the nurse and the aide in a Villa many times. When you have to administer medication, provide resident care and serve all the meals during the 12-hour shift, it was like running around like a chicken with its head cut off and impossible to complete all care tasks, especially showers. During an interview, between 3/24/25 and 3/27/25, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 5 indicated it was hard to complete all of her assigned tasks. LPN 5 sometimes times had to leave her Villa for long periods of time to administer insulin in multiple [NAME] where there were QMA's working. During an interview, between 3/24/25 and 3/27/25, LPN 10 indicated she has had to work two [NAME] before due to no nurses available. There had been a lot of QMA's working so the nurses had to leave their [NAME] to administer insulin in the other [NAME]. There had been times when LPN 10 would have to go to another Villa to assess a resident and, at times, send the residents out to the hospital. When that happened, your aide was left alone in the Villa for longer periods of time. The current staffing was not safe and was definitely not fair to the residents. During an interview, between 3/24/25 and 3/27/25, CNA 14 indicated she has had to work Villa 7 by herself multiple times which was very difficult. All the residents in the Villa received therapy and they also had heightened needs. There were times when she would be toileting one resident, and she could hear two other residents yelling because they needed to go to the bathroom at the same time. It makes it very hard when you are in a Villa by yourself. Review of the February 2025 and March 2025 as worked staffing sheets indicated the following: - On 2/11/25, there was no nurse in Villa 3 on night shift. - On 2/24/25, there was no nurse in Villa 3 on night shift. - On 3/15/25, there was no aide in Villa 4 on night shift. - On 3/24/25, there was one nurse for Villa 5 and Villa 6 on day shift. - On 3/25/25, there was no nurse in Villa 3 on night shift. - On 3/27/25, there was one nurse for Villa 5 and Villa 6 on day shift. During an observation, on 3/25/25 at 11:22 a.m., Villa 5 was observed without a nurse. CNA 15 indicated RN (Registered Nurse) 16 was currently over in Villa 6 giving medications. The incident report, dated 3/25/25 at 5:30 p.m., indicated a resident from Villa 5 exited the facility, in his wheelchair without supervision. The resident was re-directed back to the Villa by the Director of Rehabilitation. During an interview, on 3/27/25 at 1:55 p.m., CNA 15 indicated right after dinner, RN 16 had to go over to Villa 6 to send a resident out to the hospital since she was covering Villa 5 and Villa 6. CNA 15 was in a room, with the door closed, providing care for a resident. Her pager started going off while she was in the room, so she hurried up and completed care on the resident. When she came out of the room, she heard the door alarm sounding. She could not hear the door alarm because she was in a resident's room with the door closed. When she looked out the door, she saw therapy bringing the resident whom had exited back into Villa 5. 3.1-17(a)

A progress note, dated 12/28/24 at 3:11 p.m., indicated the resident was found sitting on the floor. He was unable to describe the fall or any details. The progress note showed that the resident had a motion sensor in his room, but the sensor was not on due to the resident being in the common area. The resident was then placed on one-to-one supervision in the common area. A care plan, with an initiated date of 10/09/24, indicated the resident used psychotropic medication related to insomnia (sleep disorder). The goal was for the resident to remain free of cognitive/behavioral impairment. The interventions included, but were not limited to, dated 10/9/24, monitor/record occurrence of target behavior symptoms such as wandering, disrobing, inappropriate responses to verbal communication and aggression towards staff. The resident's clinical record lacked an updated care plan and/or interventions related to the increased behaviors and confusion, one-on-one supervision, and wondering/exit seeking. During an observation on 12/30/24 at 3:15 p.m., Resident E was in a wheelchair in the common area of the Villa 5. There were no staff members in the common area or kitchen of the villa, at 3:24 p.m. two staff members walked out of a resident's room, walked past Resident E and then down towards the utility area. During an interview on 12/30/24 at 3:16 p.m., Resident E's family member indicated they don't have enough people here. He had visited the villa for over two hours on another occasion and did not see a single staff member during that length of time. During an interview on 12/30/24 at 10:28 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated she had just recently returned to work after being off for a few months. During an interview on 12/31/24 11:00 am, the Executive Director (ED) indicated there was only one secured locked unit and that unit was Villa 8.

During an interview on 12/31/24 at 10:27 a.m., CNA 11 indicated she did not know the residents in that villa and since she did not know if the residents required two staff for transfer, she had not gotten anyone up out of bed at that time. The CNA indicated her nurse had now returned and she would help the resident at that time. During an observation and interview on 12/31/24 at 10:28 a.m., CNA 10 went into Resident D's room to check and change the resident. The resident's soiled brief was pulled back and he had stool from his back to his front lower abdomen. The resident was then rolled to his left side and the lift sheet under the resident was saturated with dark yellow urine. There was dried stool on the resident buttocks and thighs. The resident's skin on his buttocks, thighs, and scrotum areas were bright dark red. The CNA indicated the resident's skin was very red. She opened the resident's draws and found a tube of cream and started to place the cream on the resident's bottom.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, record review, and observation, the facility failed to provide a resident-centered activities program to support residents in their choice of activities for 4 of 4 residents reviewed for activities (Residents B, C, D, and E). This had the potential to affect 63 of 63 residents that reside in the facility. Findings include: During an observation and interview on 12/30/24 at 10:40 a.m., Villa 6 was observed to have one resident in the common area and no activities present. License Practical Nurse (LPN) 6 indicated she was not a regular employee. There was one aide working with her and she did not know anything about resident scheduled activities. During an observation on 12/30/24 at 10:47 a.m., Villa 2 was observed with one resident in the common area and no activities present. During an interview with QMA 3, she indicated she was the only staff member in the Villa. There was no time for activities when you are trying to get everything done. During an observation and interview on 12/30/24 at 10:57 a.m., Villa 4 was observed with three residents sitting in the common area. There were no activities present. LPN 4 indicated she was covering two [NAME] for passing resident medications and treatments. Normally she would have to cover two [NAME] once or twice a week. When there were residents who require two staff assistance and the use of a mechanical lift, it was hard to get the basic care done. During an observation and interview on 12/30/24 at 11:10 a.m., Villa 3 was observed with no activities present. LPN 9 indicated she was covering two [NAME]. When she covered two [NAME], each Villa had only one aide. Her aide today was new, and she was running behind on passing medications. During an observation and interviews on 12/30/24 at 11:16 a.m., Villa 5 was observed with one resident in the common area. LPN 7 indicated occasionally she had no aide and had to cover all care by herself. One time she had to cover three [NAME], and the aides had to wait for her to help transfer residents that required two staff assistance. CNA 6 indicated her nurse today was covering two [NAME]. If she needed help transferring a resident she had to call another Villa, and it depended on what they were doing on how soon they could come help. There were no staff to do activities. During an interview on 12/30/24 11:19 a.m., LPN 7 indicated she was working in two [NAME] today for her 12-hour shift. There are no planned activity programs occurring on a regular basis due to facility not having an activities director. During an observation on 12/31/24 at 9:11 a.m., Villa 4 was observed with two residents in the common area. CNA 10 indicated her nurse had not arrived yet. The nurse for her Villa was covering two units today and she was not able to get the residents up until the nurse arrived. During an observation on 12/31/24 at 9:15 a.m., Villa 2 was observed with 4 residents sitting at the dining room table. The residents indicated the only activities were Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. During an observation on 12/31/24 at 10:26 a.m., Villa 5 was observed with no activities. Resident D was lying in bed and indicated no one has been in to get him up or change him since last night. During an interview on 12/31/24 at 10:28 a.m., CNA 12 indicated her nurse arrived late today and she was new to the Villa. She did not have help since the nurse was late and running behind on her own work. She did not know which residents were able to get up or if they required two staff for transfer. The staff did not have time for any activities. During an interview on 12/31/24 11:00 a.m., the Executive Director (ED) indicated that there was no activity director, however one had been hired and will start in January. There was no structured activities program at that time. In the interim, the facility had hired a consulting company to provide activities and oversight for the facility. The company had provided an activities calendar for December 2024; however, the calendar was not followed. The activities calendar was not posted and no activities on the calendar were completed. The ED provided a list of Holiday activities the facility had hosted for October, November, and December as followed: Elder's [NAME] on December 25, 2024, Holiday Dinner's December 10, 2024 at 5:00 p.m., Trunk or Treat October 29, 2024 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., [NAME] Gospel Singer, and Monthly Birthday Celebration for the Elder's. Review of the documented activity calendar for December 30, 2024, indicated the activities should have been the following: 10:00 Morning Meeting, 10:30 exercises, 11:15 word of the Day, 1:30 [NAME] in the Cabin -short story, 2:30 December birthdays, 4:00 balloon toss, and 6:00 daily devotions.

No activities were observed in any of the 7 [NAME] on December 30 and 31, 2024. During a telephone interview on 12/31/24 at 1:00 p.m., the Activities Consultant indicated that starting in the month of September 2024, the company had visited the facility once a week. On those visits they consisted of completing a resident's activity assessment and documentation. If time allowed, then once a week the consultant would try to visit each of the 8 [NAME] for a 15-to-30-minute activity. There was no documentation of when, where, or what activities were provided by the consultant staff for the residents provided. The record for Resident E was reviewed on 12/31/24 at 8:30 a.m. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to unspecified sequelae of cerebral infarction, and unspecified dementia, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety. The admission MDS assessment, dated 10/10/24, indicated the resident's cognition was severely impaired. Resident E's plan of care, dated 10/10/24, indicated the resident was new to the facility and potentially may be used to a different daily routine. The interventions included, but were not limited to, review the monthly calendar with the resident and ask where he would like it placed in his room and invite family members to join the resident in activities. The record for Resident C was reviewed on 12/31/24 at 9:30 a.m. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; schizophrenia; hypertension, and unspecified mood disorder.

The interventions included, but were not limited to, staff to provide a calendar of activities, invite the resident to groups, and provide leisure materials. The record for Resident B was reviewed on 12/31/24 at 10:44 a.m. The resident's' diagnoses included, but were not limited to, hypertension, major depressive disorder, and vascular dementia with mood disturbance. The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 11/23/24, indicated the resident's choice of activities was very important. The resident's cognition was severely impaired. Resident B's plan of care, dated 2/1/22 and revised on 2/15/22, indicated the resident will participate in activities of her choosing. The goal was for the resident to participate in activities until her next review. The interventions included, but were not limit to, provide the resident with a monthly activity calendar, and encourage and invite the resident to all activities. The record for Resident D was reviewed on 12/30/24 at 2:15 p.m. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, flaccid hemiplegia affecting the right dominant side; muscle weakness (generalized), unspecified abnormalities of gait and mobility; and unspecified lack of coordination.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure each Villa/unit was staffed with the appropriate staff to ensure the resident received care and services in a timely manner related to bathing, toileting, behavior/supervision, and resident-centered activities. This deficient practice had the potential to affect 63 of 63 residents residing in the facility. Findings include: During an observation on 12/30/24 at 10:20 a.m., the facility had a total of 8 [NAME] (independent building that housed up to 10 residents in each unit). The facility was laid out like a small subdivision, with two roads and the individual [NAME] each had a kitchen, living room, laundry, and resident bedrooms. There was sidewalks and grass lawns between each Villa. The staff had to walk outside to get from one Villa to the other. Villa 2 had ten residents that required bathing assistance and one resident that required two staff members assistance with a mechanical lift; Villa 3 had ten residents that required bathing assistance; Villa 4 had nine residents that required bathing assistance and three that required two staff members for mobility; Villa 5 had ten residents that required bathing assistance, five to seven residents that required the assistance of two staff members for mobility, and one resident that required behavior supervision; Villa 6 had eight residents that required bathing assistance; Villa 7 had nine residents that required bathing assistance; and Villa 8 had seven residents that required bathing assistance and was a locked dementia unit. Four of the eight [NAME] had residents that required two staff members' physical assistance for mobility/transfer and or residents that required the use of a mechanical lift. During an interview on 12/30/24 at 10:30 a.m., QMA 3 indicated she was working alone in the Villa today for the 12-hour shift. She would normally have to work alone once every two weeks. The facility would try to schedule one CNA and a floating nurse, but the staff would call off or no show often. The facility was using agency staff members to try to fill in the open shifts. She had one resident that required two staff assistance for transfer and sometimes the resident had to wait when she called for help. There were ten residents in the villa and all ten residents required assistance with bathing. The CNAs would have two to three baths to provide daily on day shift. The bathing tasks were hard to complete and sometimes the residents did not get their baths. There were no planned activity programs occurring on a regular basis due to facility not having an activities director. The staff working in the [NAME] had to provide all daily care, heat up the resident's food, serve the residents, help the residents eat, check and change the residents every two hours, if possible, keep up with the laundry, clean the dishes, provide medications and treatments, and general cleaning. During an interview on 12/30/24 at 10:45a.m., LPN 4 indicated she was working a 12-hour shift alone. She often had to work alone, it generally occurred one to two of the three shifts she worked per week. There were ten residents in the current villa with three residents requiring the assistance of two staff members for transfers. She had to complete all the medication administration, treatments, warms up the residents' food for all three meals, do the laundry, completed resident activities of daily living, and attempted to provide minimal activities such as music or television programs. When the resident required a mechanical lift for transfers the resident would have to just stay in bed. When she had to go to another villa for supplies, she would have the Admissions/Marketing Director stay in the villa and monitor the residents for her. There were no planned activity programs occurring on a regular basis due to facility not having a current activities director. During an interview on 12/30/24 at 10:55 a.m., the Admission/Marketing Director indicated that she was not a nurse or a CNA. When the staff member working in her villa needed to leave the villa, she would be in the building to serve as a presence to monitor the residents. If a resident needed care provided, she would call for a staff member that could provide care since she was not able to provide care. This would occur two to three times a week for short periods. She did not touch the residents but could get them ice water if needed. During an interview on 12/30/24 11:19 a.m., LPN 7 indicated she was working in two [NAME] today for her 12-hour shift. One of her [NAME] had ten residents with seven of those residents requiring two-staff members' assistance for transfers. When she was alone in the building and a resident needed assistance to get up out of bed or needed to be toileted, she had to call another Villa for assistance. There were a few residents in one of her [NAME] with behaviors and frequent falls. There are no planned activity programs occurring on a regular basis due to facility not having an activities director. During an interview on 12/30/24 at 11:22 a.m., CNA 6 indicated that she has worked some twelve hours shifts floating between two of the [NAME]. When she was alone in a villa and had a resident with behaviors or an incident occur, she had to call for a nurse or another aide to come from another villa for assistance. The nurse or aide could only help if they were not alone in their villa. During an interview on 12/31/24 at 10:27 a.m., CNA 11 indicated she did not get any of the residents that required assistance out of bed yet that day. The nurse working with her was late and she did not have anyone to help her with the resident that required two staff members assistance for mobility. The facility assessment tool was reviewed on 12/31/24. The assessment tool indicated that the general staffing plan of the facility had a ratio of one licensed nurse to every 20 residents on dayshift for 12 hours and nightshift for 12 hours in the facility and a ratio of one direct care staff member for every 14 residents on day shift, in the evenings, and during the nightshift. The staffing schedule was reviewed on 12/30/24. The scheduled showed one licensed nurse was to be scheduled in each villa during the dayshift except for Villa 1 and Villa 3. Villa 1 was an assisted living group and only requiring a nurse to float between Villa 1 and Villa 3. The schedule showed a CNA to be staffed in each villa during dayshift hours and nightshift hours. The schedule indicated during the nightshift hours each licensed nurse would float between two [NAME]. The as worked schedules were reviewed for September 2024 through December 2024. The staffing schedule indicated when there was an open shift with no staff member present to work. The schedule would indicate when one staff member was floating between two or more [NAME]. The follow dates and time indicated when a staff member had to work more than one Villa. - On 9/1/24, Dayshift nurse floated between Villa 2 and Villa 4, - On 9/2/24, Dayshift aide called in and was not present in Villa 5 and Nightshift nurse in Villa 6 and 7 no showed, - On 9/3/24, Dayshift nurse floated between Villa 2 and Villa 4, - On 9/4/24, Dayshift nurse floated between Villa 2 and Villa 4 and Dayshift aide in Villa 5 called in, - On 9/8/24, There was no Dayshift nurse scheduled for Villa 4, - On 9/9/24, Dayshift nurse floated between Villa 5 and Villa 8, - On 9/11/24, Dayshift nurse floated between Villa 2 and Villa 4;

Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure residents were safe from falls with the use of motion sensor alarms, testing of alarms, and prompt attention for 2 of 7 residents reviewed for falls. (Residents 20 and 5) Findings include: 1. During an observation on 6/24/24 at 11:25 a.m., Resident 20 appeared confused and was sitting at the dining table near the staff. The record for Resident 20 was reviewed on 6/25/24 at 1:42 p.m. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, displaced fracture of the right humerus, fracture of the second lumbar vertebra, unsteadiness on her feet, dementia, abnormalities of her gait and mobility, osteoporosis, and a need for assistance with her personal care. The admission MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 10/24/23, indicated the resident was moderately cognitively impaired. She required supervision or touching assistance for toileting and partial to moderate assistance for showers. The resident had impairment to one side and used a walker. The nurse's note, dated 10/21/23 at 9:10 p.m., indicated the nurse heard yelling upon entering the resident's room with the resident laying on her back. A small amount of blood was on the carpet by the resident's right elbow. The resident's right shoulder was popped up with her arm turned outward. The nurse assessed the resident and placed a pillow under the resident's head. 911 and the NP (Nurse Practitioner) were called. Four staff assisted the resident from the floor to a stretcher with careful attention to the right shoulder. The resident was transported to the local hospital. The nurse's note, dated 10/23/23 at 8:00 p.m., indicated the resident arrived back to the facility, and she was admitted back with a diagnosis with a displaced comminuted fracture of the shaft of the right humerus. The fracture was reduced and was splinted in the ER (emergency room), and she had a sling in place. The resident got up twice without ringing her bell for resident safety. A motion sensor alarm was in place, per facility protocol. The resident was still mobile, able to go to bathroom with help due to being unsteady. The IDT (Interdisciplinary team) note, dated 10/24/23 at 2:12 p.m., indicated the fall that occurred on 10/21/23 at night was reviewed. The resident was up ad lib with her walker. The resident was ambulating in her room without her walker and fell. The resident was assessed by the nurse to have a low blood pressure. Several unassisted transfers were attempted during the night and the motion sensor alarm was put in place to remind the resident to ask for staff assistance until she was evaluated by therapy. The care plan was reviewed and updated. The physician's order, dated 10/24/23, indicated staff were to apply a motion sensor alarm every shift for safety with transfers and document if the alarm was functioning properly and to check batteries. The care plan, dated 10/24/23 and last revised on 1/10/24, indicated the resident was at risk for falls with and without injury related to, muscle weakness, abnormalities of gait and mobility, osteoarthritis, pulmonary hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and osteoporosis. The interventions, included but were not limited to, Dycem to her wheelchair, encourage or remind the resident to lock wheelchair brakes before attempting to reposition herself in a wheelchair, keep the call bell within reach, encourage her to use the call bell and staff were to answer promptly. Keep the environment free of clutter, keep the room well lit, keep the wheelchair next to the recliner at night, make sure the resident was wearing proper footwear, the motion alarm was to be replaced and new batteries were placed in the alarm with extras placed in the resident's personal medication cabinet, place a motion sensor alarm to remind the resident to ask for staff assistance, and toilet the resident every 2 hours and as needed at night. The nurse's note, dated 11/10/23 at 7:15 p.m., indicated the CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) alerted the nurse that the resident was on the floor. Upon entering the resident's room, the resident was laying supine in front of her end tables, against the wall. The resident indicated she did not hit her head. The resident was able to move all extremities, but her right arm was in a hard cast. The resident was able to move her fingers with no complaints of right arm pain. Upon standing, the resident grimaced in pain. The resident's back was assessed, and a large abrasion was observed to the resident's left middle back. The motion sensor alarm was not turned on. All staff present in the villa were educated on the importance of turning the alarm on when leaving the resident's room. The resident was educated on hitting her call button before getting up. The nurse's note, dated 11/16/23 at 7:10 p.m., indicated the nurse was called by staff in Villa 2. The resident was found on the floor, next to the dining room table. The resident was lying on her back next to the chair she sat in at supper time. No outer or inner rotation or injuries were observed. The resident could move all extremities. The nurse's note, dated 11/28/23 at 2:40 a.m., indicated the CNA informed the nurse that the resident fell. Upon assessing the resident, sitting on her buttocks in front of her recliner, the resident's legs were up on recliner. The CNA indicated the motion alarm was going off and the resident was trying to transfer herself. The resident had a left knee abrasion. The resident needed to use the toilet. The nurse's note, dated 11/30/23 at 1:51 p.m., indicated a new order from the orthopedic surgeon for a bone stimulator for 20 minutes, once every day and a follow up appointment on 12/28/23 with the orthopedic doctor was received. The nurse's note, dated 1/9/24 at 7:08 p.m., indicated the nurse was called into the resident's room by a CNA. The nurse entered the resident's room, and the resident was sitting on the floor, in front of her recliner chair with the legs of the recliner still elevated. The resident was smiling and sitting on her bottom, holding her hand up, wanting staff to pick her up off the floor. The resident was assessed for injuries with none observed. The nurse's note, dated 1/12/24 at 1:30 a.m., the nurse heard a commotion from the resident's room. When the nurse entered the resident's room, she found the resident on the floor, laying on her back in front of the recliner. A pillow was placed behind the resident's head while the nurse assessed the resident. No injuries were observed, and the resident denied any pain. The IDT note, dated 1/12/24 at 10:41 a.m., indicated the resident's fall was reviewed. The resident was in her room on the floor, near the recliner. The resident had an elevated blood pressure reading. New orders were received. Upon investigation of the fall, the motion sensor alarm was not functioning correctly. The motion sensor alarm was replaced, and new batteries were placed in the alarm with extra batteries being placed in the resident's personal medication cabinet. The nurse's note, dated 2/13/24 at 4:15 a.m., indicated the CNA entered the resident's room after hearing the motion sensor alarm and letting the resident know to wait and the CNA would be right there, returning to find the resident lying on the floor in the resident's bathroom. The CNA notified the nurse of the incident. The nurse entered the resident's bathroom at 4:20 a.m., to find the resident lying on her back on the floor, with her head toward the toilet and both feet toward the door. No injuries were observed, although the resident complained of pain to the posterior head. The resident was transported to the local hospital. The resident still complained of pain to her posterior head, and the resident also complained of pain to her bilateral hips when her legs were moved. The nurse's note, dated 2/15/24 at 1:36 p.m., indicated the resident had a fracture of the L (lumbar)2 vertebrae. The behavior note, dated 2/29/24 at 2:07 a.m., indicated the CNA entered the resident's room and the resident was attempting to ambulate to the toilet, unassisted. The resident was re-educated on the importance of assistance. The nurse's note, dated 4/9/24 at 7:36 a.m., indicated the resident had a steady decline in her transfer. The resident was unable to walk to the bathroom with help. Staff now had to transfer the resident, in a wheelchair, to the bathroom due to the resident's unsteady gait. The nurse's note, dated 4/10/24 at 11:30 a.m., indicated therapy contacted the nurse around 10:30 a.m. this morning to report she found the resident sitting on the floor. The nurse entered Villa 2 to find the resident sitting on the floor with her back against the wall outside the business office. The resident was unable to explain what happened, but she did shake her head no, when she was asked if she hit her head. The resident tended to slouch in her wheelchair due to her lower back fracture. She had been seen using the railing along the wall to pull herself along. The Incident note, dated 5/16/24 at 10:19 p.m., indicated the resident was observed on the floor, on her back, next to her wheelchair, outside of her room. The resident was unable to explain what had happened due to her cognitive issues. The resident denied pain or injury. The current ADL (Activities of Daily Living) tasks indicated the resident required one staff extensive assistance for toileting, transfers, and bed mobility. More assistance may be provided as needed. During an interview on 6/27/24 at 9:15 a.m., CNA 4 indicated the staff would obtain the batteries for the motion sensor alarms from Central Supply CNA 10. CNAs should check the alarms for function before leaving the residents alone in their rooms. The Maintenance Director had taken over checking the motion sensor alarms for function now, but CNAs could check them too. Maintenance would test one motion sensor alarm in the villa in the mornings, occasionally. The central supply room was in Villa 3, which was where the batteries were stored. A red light would come on when the batteries were low on the motion sensor alarm. Staff could also check the function of the alarms by pressing on them to see if they sounded. During an interview on 6/27/24 at 9:20 a.m., QMA (Qualified Medication Aide) 6 indicated all staff checked the alarms every time a resident was laid down. The motion sensor alarm sounded funny or different when the battery was low. Staff put new batteries in the alarms when needed. The resident would try to do self-care and would propel herself along the rails on the wall, while she was in her wheelchair. The resident would let herself slide out of the wheelchair at times. The QMA tried to keep the resident near her or at the dining table. During an interview on 6/27/24 at 9:56 a.m., the DON (Director of Nursing) indicated the nursing staff would replace the motion sensor alarm batteries. The staff would test the alarm for function by setting the resident in place and made sure the alarm would made a beeping sound. The batteries were in Villa 3. If the motion sensor alarm needed new batteries, the staff would contact management and the batteries would be taken to the villa. The DON was contacted when Resident 20 had a fall. She brought the new batteries, for the motion sensor alarm, to the villa. It was the nursing staff's responsibility to make sure the motion sensor alarm was on for the residents. During an interview on 6/28/24 at 8:48 a.m., QMA 7 indicated the resident was declining in health. The resident thought she was independent with her own care, so the CNA went in and out of the resident's room often. When the resident was in the dining room, the resident's door would be kept closed to prevent her from trying to go in their alone. The extra batteries were kept in the medication cart drawer or in the nurse's station desk drawer. During an interview on 6/28/24 at 8:58 a.m., CNA 5 indicated alarms usually gave a warning sound when they were dying. The batteries were kept in the cabinet in the resident's room. If they weren't there, they were found in the medication cart or in Villa 3. The resident had fallen a lot due to sliding out of her chair or she scooted her bottom off of the wheelchair. The alarm went off one time and another resident was being taken care of. The resident was told they would come to her room in a minute to help her. The resident didn't wait for the CNA to return to help her, and she fell. She could usually tell when the resident was antsy and needed help immediately. The resident was hard to understand and flash cards had to be used with pictures to help her communicate what she needed. During an interview on 6/28/24 at 9:25 a.m., the Maintenance Director indicated when the new company took over the facility, he was required to check all rooms with the motion alarms daily. He was provided with a list of residents with motion sensor alarms, and this began last week. During an observation on 6/28/24 at 10:19 a.m., the resident was asleep in her room in a recliner. The motion sensor alarm was placed on the floor, pointed toward the resident. 2. The record for Resident 5 was reviewed on 6/26/24 at 8:33 a.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, right sided hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction, type 2 diabetes mellitus, vascular dementia, muscle weakness, insomnia, cognitive communication deficit, transient cerebral ischemic attack, and joint pain. The care plan, dated 1/31/22 and last revised on 3/11/24, indicated the resident had a potential for falls related to her new environment, cerebral infarction, type 2 diabetes mellitus, impaired cognition and decision making. The interventions, dated 6/7/24, included, but were not limited to, a Dycem was to be placed in the resident's recliner to help prevent her from sliding in the recliner, elevate the resident's footrest while the resident was in the recliner per the resident's preference, a motion sensor alarm was to be placed at bedside every night. 6/18/24 the resident was not to be up in her wheelchair, in her room, unattended. The physician's order, dated 8/22/23, indicated staff were to place a motion sensor alarm at the resident's bedside for safety when the resident was in bed every shift for safety with transfers. The Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 1/24/24, indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired. The nurse's note, dated 8/22/23 at 6:46 a.m., indicated the resident was found on the floor from an unwitnessed fall. Neurological checks were in place and no injuries were observed.

The resident indicated she was trying to use the bathroom. The resident required assistance with transfers and a call light pendant was not on. A motion sensor alarm was to be placed in the resident's room and utilized at nighttime due to the resident forgetting to call for assistance upon waking. The care plan was reviewed and updated. The nurse's note, dated 9/18/2023 at 7:04 a.m., indicated the resident was setting off the motion sensor alarm multiple times throughout the night. The resident was confused, talking about going to see her boyfriend and about having to take the kids to school. The Incident note, dated 9/19/23 at 4:04 p.m., indicated the nurse heard a noise in the resident's room and the resident had slid out of her recliner. The recliner didn't fold down.

The resident had involuntary jerking movements. No injuries were observed. The resident was to have a Dycem placed in her recliner to help prevent her from sliding in the recliner. The care plan was to be updated. The nurse's note, dated 12/22/23 at 5:18 a.m., indicated the Villa 6 CNA contacted the nurse in Villa 7 to notify her that the resident was on the floor in her room. This nurse immediately came to Villa 6 to assess the resident. The resident was laying on her back next to her bed with her feet facing the bathroom door. The resident had no pain and wanted to stand up. No injuries were observed by the nurse and the CNA stood the resident up and walked her to the bathroom. The resident indicated she was headed to the bathroom because she did not want to have a bowel movement in bed. The motion sensor alarm was in place and that notified the CNA of the incident. The IDT note, dated 12/22/23 at 9:38 a.m., indicated the fall from 12/22/23 was reviewed. The resident needed to use the bathroom and transferred herself out of her bed and fell. The motion sensor alarm went off, alerting staff. The resident was found on the floor and no injuries were observed. Staff were to toilet the resident before being placed in bed.

The resident was positioned laterally on her right hip with her forehead touching the floor. The resident's wheelchair was behind her. The resident's glasses were on her face, and she had non-skid socks on her bilateral feet. The resident was assisted onto her back. The resident complained of pain when the nurse touched the resident's right hip. The NP recommended that the resident be transferred to the hospital for further evaluation. The resident's family visited and requested that the resident not be transferred to the hospital. The resident was assisted by two staff into her bed. The call pendant was within reach, non-skid socks were on, and the motion sensor alarm was on at this time. The resident denied pain and appeared comfortable at this time. The IDT note, dated 6/18/24 at 12:43 p.m., indicated the fall on 6/17/24 was reviewed. The resident was sitting in her wheelchair alone in her room. She was observed with increased pelvic thrusting when in her wheelchair. The new intervention was for therapy to screen the resident related to wheelchair positioning and the resident was to not be left in her wheelchair, in her room, unattended. The current ADLs task indicated the resident required one staff assistance for bed mobility, toileting, and transfers due to her hemiparesis. During an interview on 6/28/24 at 9:17 a.m., LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 9 indicated she was informed the resident had a fall on the night shift, a few months ago and the alarm wasn't going off.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's (Resident B) plan of care was updated for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for care plans. Findings include: The clinical record for Resident B was reviewed on 4/15/24 at 2:30 p.m. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, dementia, depression and anxiety. On 4/15/24 at 11:30 a.m., during an observation the resident was observed resting in bed with her eyes closed. She was covered with 4 blankets and a sheet. The care plan, originally dated 6/17/22 with a revision on 1/29/24, indicated the resident had an actual skin impairment of a rash to the lower back. The interventions included, but were not limited to, for staff to assist the resident to turn and reposition every 2 hours, educate resident/family/caregivers of causative factors and measurements to prevent skin injury, provide good nutrition and hydration and complete treatments as ordered. The progress note, dated 2/19/24 at 12:54 a.m., indicated the resident had a rash to both sides of her lower back and the nurse practitioner would assess the resident in the morning. The progress note, dated 2/21/24 at 10:38 a.m., indicated the nurse practitioner assessed the resident's rash. The rash was a possible heat rash due to the resident being covered with 5 blankets and the room was extremely warm. Staff were to try and keep the room at 72 degrees. The progress note, dated 3/13/24 at 11:00 a.m., indicated the resident declined to remove her blankets and to get up out of bed. The care plan lacked documentation of a revision for the residents' refusal to remove her blankets. During an interview on 4/16/24 at 12:57 p.m., NP (Nurse Practitioner) 11 indicated she had seen the resident on 2/21/24 for a rash. The resident kept her room warm and had multiple blankets on her bed which caused her to perspire resulting in the heat rash on her lower back. The resident would not let the staff remove the blankets.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents (Residents D, E and F) were provided appropriate care for 3 of 5 residents reviewed for Activities of Daily Living. Findings include: 1. The clinical record for Resident D was reviewed on 12/28/23 at 1:11 p.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, diabetes, cognitive communication deficit and depression. The quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 11/29/23, indicated the resident's cognition was intact. She required partial to moderate assistance with bed mobility and substantial/maximal assistance with bed mobility. The care plan, dated 4/17/23, indicated a self-care deficit and required staff assistance with personal hygiene, bed mobility and up to total assistance with transfers. The written statement for Resident D, dated 12/7/23, indicated CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) 6 was mean and plopped her in the bed and would not check on her during the night. He squeezed her arms tight when he helped her up and it hurt. He seemed miserable to have to help her and did not appear to like his job.
