Findings
Based on interviews and record review, the residence failed to update a comprehensive assessment whenever a resident's condition changed from baseline status, affecting three of five sample residents whose assessments were reviewed (#4, #13, #14, #15, #17). Specifically, Prior to Resident #14 being admitted to the residence he was required to not be under the influence of drugs and alcohol for 90 days. The residence was informed that Resident #14 would need to be monitored for relapse prior to his admittance, however, upon discovering his increasing symptoms of drug use the residence failed to update Resident #14's care plan and assessments leading to two hospital visits due to increased methamphetamine and alcohol use, 7/31/2025 and 8/6/2025, since his initial comprehensive assessment on 4/16/25. On 7/31/25 Resident #14 was found on his bathroom floor; there was blood "all over the bathroom floor" and open needles around the room and narcan. Resident #14 was not making sense when staff talked with him. Staff notified Resident #14's family member who then instructed the residence to call an ambulance.

The Administrator stated a comprehensive assessment was completed during a change in the residents baseline and acknowledged an update to Resident #14 ' s comprehensive assessment had not been completed which may cause future harm to the resident and staff interacting with Resident #14, although the Administrator agreed it should have been completed. Additionally, the residence failed to perform a change of condition assessment for Resident's #4, #13, #15, and #17.

Findings
Based on record review, observation, and interview, the residence failed to promote resident choice, mobility, independence, and safety and failed to detail specific personal service needs and preferences along with the staff tasks necessary to meet those needs in a resident care plan, affecting one of nine sample residents (#17). Findings include:Reference and Resident AgreementChapter VII regulations governing assisted living residences, part 2.10, defines "Care plan" as a written description, in lay terminology, of the functional capabilities of an individual, the individual' s need for personal assistance, services received from external providers, and the services to be provided by the residence in order to meet the individual' s needs. In order to deliver person-centered care, the care plan shall take into account the resident' s preferences and desired outcomes. "Care plan" may also mean a service plan for those facilities which are licensed to provide services specifically for the mentally ill. The residence's undated resident agreement, read in part that the resident care plan is a document that includes a description of the residents functional physical and mental capabilities, needs for personal assistance from community staff members, the services the resident expects to receive from external providers, and the personal care services that we will provide directly to the resident. The residents care plan is based on a resident assessment, in the event a resident's assessment indicates a change to the resident condition or care needs, the resident care plan will be revised accordingly.

A progress note, dated 8/15/25 at 5:00 p.m., read in part; Resident #17's outside psychology provider contacted the residence and stated Resident #17 walked back to the residence after her therapy session. When she was asked why she had left her outside provider's office, the providers office stated that Resident #17 said she needed to go on a walk because the voices in her head were telling her to jump in front of a car. A care plan dated 10/24/24 contained no staff tasks or interventions to address the residents risk for self harm after the residents incident on 8/15/25. InterviewsOn 8/27/25 at approximately 11:00 a.m., Staff #8 stated she often works in the hallway in which Resident #17 ' s room was located, she stated she was unaware Resident #17 was hearing voices or had any suicidal ideations, she further stated she was unaware of an incident that happened regarding Resident #17 on 8/15/25. Staff #8 stated that if Resident #17 were to approach her with a feeling of self harm, she would try to talk to her and calm her down, then contact the Administrator. Staff #8 stated she would not know where in the resident record she would look to find interventions in this situation. On 8/27/25 at approximately 11:10 a.m., Staff #7 stated she was unaware Resident #17 had suicidal ideations or of an incident where Resident #17 stated voices told her to jump in front of a car.

The care plan should have included interventions to ensure the residents safety.

Although the residence correctedthe deficiency, based on the findings below, the residence has not maintained compliance with this regulatoryrequirement. Findings Include:Resident #7 was admitted to the residence on 3/1/2023 with a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and asthma. On 8/26/25 at approximately 12:00 p.m., all signed practitioner orders for Resident #7 were requested. A signed practitioner order dated 10/7/2024 for Symbicort 80-4.5mg actuation inhaler two puffs twice daily wasprovided. A July and August 2025 medication administration record did not have Symbicort Symbicort 80-4.5mg actuationinhaler two puffs twice daily recorded for medication administration. On 8/27/25 at approximately 3:00 p.m., the administrator stated that she expected all practitioners medicationorders to be reflected on the medication administration record (MAR) and administered as directed. She statedthat the reason this was not corrected was due to the residence transferring pharmacies and the use of a newpharmacy technician that was supposed to be inputting all of the medications into the MAR.
