Plan of correction · submitted by the facility
Tag: B 0812#1 – The Administrator corrected the deficient practice by developing and maintaining written emergency plans specific to the residence that address emergencies as defined in 8.7408. A.12. The Administrator generated a complete emergency preparedness resident roster from the electronic health record (EHR) that includes all current residents’ names, room assignments, and emergency contact information, along with a current facility diagram showing room locations. This roster applies to all 54 current residents and is now maintained in a readily available emergency preparedness binder accessible to staff. The facility reviewed and replaced emergency policies and procedures that were incorrectly associated with a sister residence. Residence-specific Emergency Preparedness Plans (EPPs) were updated to reflect the unique risks, staffing patterns, layout, and operational needs of the residence. To prevent recurrence, the facility implemented the following systemic changes:Establishment of a standardized emergency preparedness resident roster template requiring resident names, room numbers, emergency contact information, and a facility diagram. Revision of Emergency Preparedness Policies and Procedures to ensure they are residence-specific and address identified emergency types and backup protocols. Designation of the Administrator and Assistant Administrator as responsible for maintaining current emergency plans and ensuring updates occur upon admission, discharge, room change, or operational change. Verification and standardization of staff access to the emergency preparedness resident roster within the EHR.Training of administrative and supervisory staff on accessing the resident roster and implementing the residence-specific emergency plans. These measures ensure that written plans to address emergencies are established, maintained, and accessible for all residents and staff with the potential to be affected, and that the deficient practice will not recur.#2 – A description of how the licensee will monitor the corrective action(a) What will be reviewed:The emergency preparedness materials will be reviewed for:Presence of residence-specific written Emergency Preparedness PlansInclusion of all required emergency typesInclusion of protocols for loss of staff and backup plansCompletion and accuracy of the emergency preparedness resident rosterAccurate resident room assignments and emergency contact informationInclusion of a current facility diagramReadily available access to emergency plans and roster(b) Sample:Monitoring will include 100% of current residents and all emergency preparedness documentation for the residence.(c) Frequency:Monitoring will occur monthly.(d) Documentation:Each review will be documented on a Monthly Emergency Preparedness Audit Tool, including date of review, findings, corrective actions taken, and staff signature.

Findings
Based on records review and interviews, the facility (residence) failed to comply with authorized practitioner orders, affecting five of seven sample members (residents) (#1, #2, #3, #6, #7). Findings Include:1. Record ReviewResident #7 was admitted to the residence on 10/18/24, with a diagnosis including pulmonary embolism. Resident #7 ' s most recent care plan, dated 8/27/25, read in part, "resident requires licensed staff assistance with handling changes to prescription and/or communicating with pharmacy and prescriber."A practitioner's order, dated 8/25/25, directed the residence to administer Eliquis 5 mg twice daily. Review of Resident #7 ' s September, October, November and December 2025 Medication Administration Records (MARS), revealed the residence failed to administer Eliquis 5 mg as prescribed, for both doses on 9/27-9/30, 10/1-10/14, 11/1-11/4, and 12/8/25, because this medication was not available. On 10/14/25 the residence faxed an order to Resident #7 ' s practitioner that read (Resident #7) has not had her Eliquis 5 mg since 9/27/25. The practitioner wrote a new order on 10/14/25 that read in part: "Please give samples (of) Eliquis 5 mg twice a day." 2. InterviewsOn 12/9/25 at approximately 4:00 p.m., Resident #7 stated she was aware that she had not received her Eliquis. On 12/10/25 at approximately 4:30 p.m. the administrator and assistant administrator acknowledged it was their responsibility to ensure resident medications were administered as ordered, and stated Resident #7 ' s practitioner was contacted when her Eliquis could not be obtained from the pharmacy and was provided with a temporary supply. When the samples ran out, it was noted that Resident #7 ' s daughter obtained Eliquis and delivered it to the facility. The administrator acknowledged they would expect compliance with the regulation. She further stated if a resident runs out of their prescribed medication in the future, they will contact the practitioner as soon as possible to alert them that the resident is out of their prescribed medication they will request an order to discontinue it until the medication is refilled. Similar deficient practice was identified for Residents #1, #2, #3 and #6.

Findings
Based on records review and interviews, the facility (residence) failed to detail specific personal service needs and preferences along with the staff tasks necessary to meet those needs affecting two of seven sample residents (#1 and #4). Findings Include:1. Resident #1 was admitted to the residence on 3/21/25 with a diagnosis of diabetes. A progress note, dated 10/15/25 at 3:15 p.m., read in part: Resident #1 had an altercation with another resident. During the altercation, the other resident, who was in a wheelchair, turned around after Resident #1 hit the resident in the head. The other resident hit Resident #1's leg with the wheelchair and caused Resident #1 to fall. He refused EMS and any care at the time. The most recent care plan update, dated 11/4/25, read in part: Resident #1 required staff awareness and support when care was declined or resisted, including verbal refusal, pulling away, or nonverbal signs of distress during care tasks. Staff were directed to use a calm tone and familiar staff when possible. If care was repeatedly refused, staff were directed to notify the supervisor and document. Re-approach later unless refusal presents an immediate health or safety concern. The care plan further read staff to provide skin and nail care. However, the care plan did not include specific interventions for refusals, how often staff were to monitor skin and nail health, or indicate any interventions or direction to staff regarding Resident #1's diabetes diagnosis or how to effectively care for those needs. A review of the task administration record (TAR) for November 2025 for Resident #1 revealed that he refused "monitoring and providing cues when needed to assist with dressing and undressing" on 11/1, 11/2, and 11/29 in the morning; and 11/3, 11/4, 11/18, 11/19, 11/23, and 11/26/25 in the evening. No documentation was provided under the section "Resistance to care, provide supervision and monitoring to help prevent/redirect resistance to accepting care." Additionally, no task was assigned for assistance with skin monitoring & nail care. A review of progress notes from 10/15/25 to 12/9/25 revealed no evidence of documentation of any refusal of care from Resident #1. A progress note, dated 12/2/25 at 1:30 p.m., read in part: Resident #1 reported to the activity director toe pain. Resident #1 had a swollen, red, and odorous second toe on the left foot. Resident #1 stated that he was not aware of how this happened. Resident #1 was scheduled for an appointment with the practitioner's office at 1:40 p.m. that day. A progress note, dated 12/2/25 at 5:45 p.m., read in part: Resident #1 was sent to the emergency department (ED) by the practitioner. At approximately 5:15 p.m., residence staff received an update from the ED: "Resident #1 is being admitted to the hospital. Resident #1 had started on antibiotics and was getting an MRI done. Resident #1 may possibly need surgery, but they won't know until after they see the MRI. Resident #1 was also really close to being septic if he wasn't already."A progress note, dated 12/5/25 at 3:15 p.m., read in part: The case manager from the hospital provided an update on Resident #1: "Resident #1 has osteomyelitis in both feet and has had all of his toes removed. He is not participating in PT and OT at the hospital. Resident #1 is not to be up and ambulating, and Resident #1 is up and walking and causing his wounds to bleed."2. InterviewsOn 12/9/25 at 3:50 p.m., the administrator stated that Resident #1 alerted the activity director of toe pain, and was taken to urgent care. Once he got to the appointment, he was taken to the ED and then admitted into the hospital. The administrator agreed that there were inadequate interventions in place surrounding the resident's resistance to care, preventing adequate monitoring of his skin health. On 12/9/25 at 4:00 p.m., the assistant administrator stated when she attempted to monitor Resident #1 while in the shower on the Saturday before he was admittedto the hospital, he refused to allow her into the shower room. She stated that Resident #1 regularly saw his practitioner, but not for podiatry care, and she admitted that no other professionals were considered to help support his podiatry care. On 12/10/25 at 12:30 p.m., the administrator agreed the infection in Resident #1's toe is likely related to his diabetes diagnosis. She agreed that proper monitoring of podiatry needs is especially important with this diagnosis. She agreed that the care plan was not updated to include monitoring of skin and nail care, diabetes and approach to manage resistance to care. She stated that the resistance to care from Resident #1 made it very difficult to monitor his skin health, but acknowledged that more could have been done. On 12/10/25 at 12:30 p.m., the assistant administrator stated that Resident #1's resistance to care made it difficult to properly monitor his skin health. She explained that they attempted to try different staff members to improve cooperation; however, she acknowledged that more should have been done. She agreed that the care plan failed to have updated and effective interventions for resistance to care. 3. Similar deficient practice was found for Resident #4.

Findings
Based on records review and interviews, the residence failed to ensure the resident care plans reflected the most current assessment information, detailed specific personal service needs along with the staff tasks necessary to meet those needs, affecting two of seven sample residents (#1 and #4). Findings Include:1. Records ReviewResident #1 was admitted to the residence on 3/21/25 with a diagnosis of diabetes. A progress note, dated 10/15/25 at 3:15 p.m., read in part: Resident #1 had an altercation with another resident. During the altercation, the other resident, who was in a wheelchair, turned around after Resident #1 hit the resident in the head. The other resident hit Resident #1's leg with the wheelchair and caused Resident #1 to fall. He refused EMS and any care at the time. The most recent care plan update, dated 11/4/25, read in part, Resident #1 required staff awareness and support when care was declined or resisted, including verbal refusal, pulling away, or nonverbal signs of distress during care tasks. Staff were directed to use a calm tone and familiar staff when possible. If care was repeatedly refused, staff were directed to notify the supervisor and document. Re-approach later unless refusal presents an immediate health or safety concern. The care plan further read staff to provide skin and nail care. However, the care plan did not include specific interventions for refusals, how often staff were to monitor skin and nail health, or indicate any interventions or direction to staff regarding Resident #1's diabetes diagnosis or how to effectively care for those needs. A review of the task administration record (TAR) for November 2025 for Resident #1 revealed that he refused "monitoring and providing cues when needed to assist with dressing and undressing" on 11/1, 11/2, and 11/29 in the morning; and 11/3, 11/4, 11/18, 11/19, 11/23, and 11/26/25 in the evening. No documentation was provided under the section "Resistance to care, provide supervision and monitoring to help prevent/redirect resistance to accepting care." Additionally, no task was assigned for assistance with skin monitoring & nail care. A review of progress notes from 10/15/25 to 12/9/25 revealed no evidence of documentation of any refusal of care from Resident #1. A progress note, dated 12/2/25 at 1:30 p.m., read in part: Resident #1 reported to the activity director toe pain. Resident #1 had a swollen, red, and odorous second toe on the left foot. Resident #1 stated that he was not aware of how this happened. Resident #1 was scheduled for an appointment with the practitioner's office at 1:40 p.m. that day. A progress note, dated 12/2/25 at 5:45 p.m., read in part: Resident #1 was sent to the emergency department (ED) by the practitioner. At approximately 5:15 p.m., residence staff received an update from the ED: "Resident #1 is being admitted to the hospital. Resident #1 had started on antibiotics and was getting an MRI done. Resident #1 may possibly need surgery, but they won't know until after they see the MRI. Resident #1 was also really close to being septic if he wasn't already."A progress note, dated 12/5/25 at 3:15 p.m., read in part: The case manager from the hospital provided an update on Resident #1: "Resident #1 has osteomyelitis in both feet and has had all of his toes removed. He is not participating in PT and OT at the hospital. Resident #1 is not to be up and ambulating, and Resident #1 is up and walking and causing his wounds to bleed."2. InterviewsOn 12/9/25 at 3:50 p.m., the administrator stated that Resident #1 alerted the activity director of toe pain, and was taken to urgent care. Once he got to the appointment, he was taken to the ED and then admitted into the hospital. The administrator agreed that there were inadequate interventions in place surrounding the resident's resistance to care, preventing adequate monitoring of his skin health. On 12/9/25 at 4:00 p.m., the assistant administrator stated when she attempted to monitor Resident #1 while in the shower on the Saturday before he was admitted to the hospital, he refused to allow her into the shower room. She stated that Resident #1 regularly saw his practitioner, but not for podiatry care, and she admitted that no other professionals were considered to help support his podiatry care. On 12/10/25 at 12:30 p.m., the administrator agreed the infection in Resident #1's toe is likely related to his diabetes diagnosis. She agreed that proper monitoring of podiatry needs is especially important with this diagnosis. She agreed that the care plan was not updated to include monitoring of skin and nail care, diabetes and approach to manage resistance to care. She stated that the resistance to care from Resident #1 made it very difficult to monitor his skin health, but acknowledged that more could have been done. On 12/10/25 at 12:30 p.m., the assistant administrator stated that Resident #1's resistance to care made it difficult to properly monitor his skin health. She explained that they attempted to try different staff members to improve cooperation; however, she acknowledged that more should have been done. She agreed that the care plan failed to have updated and effective interventions for resistance to care. 3. Similar deficient practice was found for Resident #4.

Findings
Based on record review and interviews, the residence failed to implement fall management policies and procedures, and update each resident's care plan to detail individualized approaches necessary to address fall risk, affecting four of seven sample residents (#1, #4, #5, #6). Specifically, between 10/26 and 12/6/25, Resident #4 sustained a total of five falls. On 10/26/25, Resident #4 sustained a fall and hit her head. However, the residence failed to update Resident #4's care plan with individualized interventions to address Resident #4's fall risk, and staff were unaware of any fall interventions in place for Resident #4. Consequently, on 11/5/25, the resident sustained a fall that resulted in bruising and a swollen ankle; a fall on 12/1/25, that resulted in the resident experiencing head and buttocks pain; and another fall on 11/27/25. Subsequently, due to the residence's failure to implement individualized interventions to address fall risk, Resident #4 sustained a fall on 12/6/25 and was sent out to the hospital with pain in her left hip, right wrist, and a possible head injury. Findings Include:1. Residence PolicyThe residence's undated Fall Management Policy, read in part: Each resident's Care Plan includes strategies to mitigate fall risk, and Care Plans are updated after each fall incident with a detailed intervention plan. 2. Resident #4 was admitted to the residence on 3/21/25. Resident #4 ' s assessment, which also served as the residence's care plan, last updated on 6/17/25, read in part: The resident is at low risk for falls. Staff to perform daily safety checks and alert the licensed nurse of any observable changes in resident's condition. The residence discourages the use of throw rugs and encourages residents to keep their rooms organized with pathways clear of clutter. If assistance devices are used, staff should encourage safe and appropriate usage. A progress note dated 6/1/25, read Resident #4 slipped out of bed and onto the floorOn 10/26/25, a progress note read, Resident #4 had an unwitnessed fall while bending down reaching for medications below her kitchen sink.

On 11/6/25, a progress note read in part, Resident #4 said she sprained her ankle as a result of her 11/5/25 fall. As her ankle appeared to be swollen, Resident #4 was transported to the emergency room to have it checked out. On 11/27/25, a progress note read in part, Resident #4 was found on the floor next to her bed. Resident #4 said she needed to use the bathroom and was in a hurry when grabbing her walker and slid out of bed. Staff were able to get Resident #4 up off the floor safely and reported no injury. Vitals were stable, and staff were to monitor per protocol. On 12/1/25, a progress note read in part, Resident #4 was found lying on her back with her head propped against her bathroom wall. Resident #4 said she lost her balance while performing dental hygiene. Resident #4 said her head was tender and her buttocks sore. Resident #4 was helped up, then lost her balance again when she reattempted activity. Resident #4 refused hospital and EMS evaluation. Vitals were taken, and Resident #4 was told to use her walker instead of her cane. On 12/6/25, an incident report read in part, Resident #4 tripped over her laundry basket and fell on her right side. Resident #4 complained of pain in her left hip, right wrist, and said she hit her head. Resident #4 was transported to the hospital by EMS.3. Interviews12/10/25 at 9:45 a.m., Staff #5 stated Resident #4 did not have fall precautions as she was not a fall risk. 12/10/25 at 9:55 p.m., Staff #6 stated that staff checked on her; however, there were no scheduled checks. Staff #6 stated that Resident #4 used her call button. 12/10/25 at 9:55 p.m., Staff #7 stated she would check on Resident #4; however, she was not required to check on her since there were no monitoring or interventions in the resident's care plan. On 12/10/25 at 12:30 p.m., the assistant administrator, who was responsible for updating resident care plans, stated that the assessments and care plans were not updated with individualized interventions to manage falls, and she was still in the process of updating them. 4.
