“Based on record review and interview, the assisted living center failed to maintain a copy of the document provided to an emergency responder, for two of two sampled incidents where an emergency responder was contacted on the behalf of a resident. Findings include: A review of R1's medical record revealed a form titled "Risk Management, Emergency Transport Refusal." This form stated, "On 11/3/2025 at 1517, I, [R1] was advised by the Community/EMS/Physician/other healthcare personnel (circle appropriate parties) to be transported to a hospital or a more acute care provider for evaluation and treatment...I have exercised my right to not follow this advice...Decline Transfer of EMS." However, a copy of the form provided to the emergency responder was not available for review. In an interview, E2 reported being unaware a copy of the form provided to the emergency responder needed to be retained in the event transport did not ultimately take place. A review of R4's medical record revealed a copy of an emergency responder form, dated March 11, 2026, at 5:45. The form indicated R4 received medication services. However, a copy of R4's medications was not included in the document as required. Additionally, the form included a HIPAA release; however, the release did not include any hospitals, including the hospital R4 was transported to. In an exit interview with E1, E3, and E4, the findings were reviewed and no additional information was provided.”

“Based on record review and interview, the manager failed to ensure a caregiver or an assistant caregiver documented the services provided in a resident's medical record, for one of eight sampled residents. The deficient practice posed a risk as services could not be verified as provided against a service plan. Findings include: A review of R4's medical record revealed a service plan, dated February 10, 2026, for personal care services. The service plan required the provision of the following services to R4: "Bathing...Care Associates will provide stand by assistance for safety during shower...check skin with bath/shower...the resident requires stand by assistance for bathing/showering 2x/week and as needed..." "Eating/Meals/Hydration....Care associates will provide occasional prompting or cueing, encouraging words, and monitor resident to ensure proper eating and dining experience. Associates will provide assistance with opening containers, cutting food, or using utensils/adaptive equipment as needed..." "Oxygen use...Monitor for increasing difficulty breathing and report to provider...." "Dressing/Undressing...Associates will assist resident with dressing and undressing..." A review of R4's medical record revealed an incident report dated March 11, 2026, at 17:45. The incident report indicated emergency responders were called for R4, and R4 was sent to a hospital. In an interview, E2 reported R4 had not yet returned from the hospital as of the day of the on-site inspection, March 16, 2026. A review of R4's medical record revealed a form titled "Documentation Survey Report v2," (ADL) dated March 2026. The ADL documented the services provided to R4 during the month of March 2026, including the following: For the service, "Bathing: Check skin with bath/shower...," on March 2, March 6, and March 9, the form was marked, "NA - Not Applicable," and all other days between March 1 and March 11 had been left blank; For the service, "Bathing: the resident requires stand by assistance...," on March 2 and March 9, the form was marked, "NA - Not Applicable, and on March 6, the form was marked, "1- Shower Completed." For the service, "Dressing: Associate will assist resident with dressing and undressing," on March 12 at 09:55, the form was marked, "Task Complete 1 - yes." However, R4 was not present at the facility on March 12, 2026. For the service "Monitor for increasing difficulty with breathing...," the task was scheduled one time per shift, for all three shifts. However, between March 1, 2026, and March 16, 2026, for 30 of the scheduled checks, across all three shifts, including on March 16 at 08:30, the form was marked, "Is the resident having difficulty breathing? (if yes, notify nurse) 30-Yes." However, documentation of first aid and emergency actions taken when R4 was having difficulty breathing was not available for review, and R4 was not present at the facility on March 16, 2026. In an exit interview with E1, E2, and E4, the findings were reviewed and no additional information was provided. This is a repeat citation from the on-site compliance and complaint inspection conducted on November 17, 2023, and the on-site compliance inspection conducted on February 3, 2025.”

“Based on record review and interview, the manager failed to ensure a medication administered to a resident was administered in compliance with a medication order, for one of eight sampled residents. The deficient practice posed a risk if the resident experienced a change in condition due to improper administration of medication. Findings include: A review of R5's medical record revealed a service plan, updated January 23, 2026, for directed care services including medication administration. A review of R5's medical record revealed an order, dated March 9, 2026, for "Losartan Potassium 24 MG Oral tablet, Take 1 tablet by mouth daily d/c Lisinopril, check BP q-day and hold for SBP < 115." A review of R5's medical record revealed a Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated March 2026. The MAR indicated, "Losartan Potassium 25 MG Take 1 tablet by mouth **Check BP once daily and hold for SBP less than 115**" had been administered starting on March 12, 2026, through March 16, 2026.

A review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website revealed a web page titled, "Guidelines for Preventing the Transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Health-Care Settings, 2005." The web page stated, "If TST (Mantoux Skin Test) is used for baseline testing, two-step testing is recommended for HCWs (Health Care Workers) whose initial TST results are negative. If the first-step TST result is negative, the second-step TST should be administered 1-3 weeks after the first TST result was read." 3. A review of the CDC publication, "Guidelines for Preventing the Transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Health-Care Settings, 2005" revealed a section titled: "Baseline Testing for M. tuberculosis Infection After TST Within the Previous 12 Months," which states, "...If a newly employed HCW has had a documented negative TST result within the previous 12 months, a single TST can be administered in the new setting (Box 1). This additional TST represents the second stage of two-step testing. The second test decreases the possibility that boosting on later testing will lead to incorrect suspicion of transmission of M. tuberculosis in the setting." 4.
