OT evaluation focuses on how those physical and cognitive skills impact daily activities) as ordered by the physician to prevent decline and maintain the functional status and, or functional levels for two of six sampled residents (Resident 114 and Resident 28). These failures resulted in a year-long delay of the initiation of treatment and services to prevent decline and maintain the functional status and levels of Resident 114 and Resident 28. These failures had the potential to increase the risk of the development or worsening of contractures (a permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin, and nearby tissues that causes the joints to shorten and become very stiff), which could have led to further functional decline for Resident 114 and Resident 28.

This deficient practice resulted in an inaccurate and incomplete Advance Directive Acknowledgement and had the potential to result in confusion whether Resident 154 had an Advance Directive and if not, if Resident 154 wanted to formulate one. This deficient practice placed Resident 154 at risk of not receiving necessary care based on Resident 154's wishes. Findings: During a review of Resident 154's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 154 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness that can affect thoughts, mood, and behavior).

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure post-dialysis monitoring was conducted after one of one sampled resident (Resident 82) returned from hemodialysis (a treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the kidney(s) have failed). This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 82 at risk for unidentified complications following hemodialysis, such as bleeding from the hemodialysis access site and low blood pressure. Findings: During a review of Resident 82's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 82 on 1/18/2023, and most recently re-admitted Resident 82 on 4/4/2025.

Findings: A review of Resident 1's, admission Record (Face Sheet), indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included schizophrenia (a disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly), restlessness (inability to sit still or be calm) and agitation (easily angered). A review of Resident 1 's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 1s cognitive skills (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) was intact.

Based on interview and record review, the facility's Quality Assessment and Assurance Committee (QAA, the coordinated application of two mutually-reinforcing aspects of quality management system, taking a systemic interdisciplinary, comprehensive, and data-driven approach to maintaining and improving safety and quality) failed to monitor and ensure abuse allegations were reported within two hours to the State Survey Agency (Department of Public Health), the ombudsman, and the police department) prior to conducting a thorough investigation.

Resident 32 expressed to the facility's staff that she was sexually abused (non-consensual contact of any kind). 2. Resident 55 alleged Resident 410 hit Resident 55 on the nose.

Ensure availability of Famotidine (a medication used to treat heartburn, acid indigestion and gastroesophageal reflux disease [GERD - a short medical term for a condition when stomach acid flows back into esophagus [the tube connecting mouth and stomach]) for one of four residents (Resident 98) during medication administration. This deficient practice had the potential to result in worsening of GERD symptoms and adverse consequences such as esophagitis, ulcer (medical term for a sore), bleeding complications and hospitalization. 2.
