Based on observation and interview on May 22, 2025, the facility failed to provide delayed egress locks in compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 101, Section 7.2.1.6.1, 2000 edition. The facility also failed to ensure locks on exit doors shall not require the use of a key, tool, special knowledge, or effort to unlock the door from inside the building. The facility census on May 22, 2025 was 60. This deficiency affects 60 of 60 residents. Observation of the delayed egress exit door by the maintenance office on May 22, 2025, at 9:06 A.M., showed a magnetically locked exit door that failed to open or set off any any audible signal in six (6) out of six (6) attempts of pushing, with greater than 15 pound-force (Ibf), on the fire exit hardware of the door for more than three seconds. Further observation showed a door code needed to be entered on a keypad before the exit door would open. This special knowledge of the door code would delay an egress from the 28782 B.

The submission of this Plan of Correction does not constitute an admission on the part of the community as to the accuracy of the surveyors’ findings or the conclusions drawn therefrom. Submission of this Plan of Correction also does not constitute an admission that the findings constitute a deficiency cited are correctly applied. Any changes to the community policies and procedures should be considered subsequent remedial measures as that concept is employed in Rule 407 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, corresponding state rules of civil procedure and should be inadmissible in any proceeding on that basis. The community submits this plan of correction with the intention that it be inadmissible by any third party in any civil or criminal action against the community or any employée, agent, officer, director, attorney, or shareholder of the -eommunityoraffiliated companies. COMPLETION DATE A4778 A4778 Correction of Cited Deficiency: On 1/10/2025, the POA was also notified of the community's plan to immediately inform the responsible party of any medication changes. Additionally, all medication changes will be included in the monthly wellness report, which will also detail allergies documented in the clinical record. The POA confirmed receipt of the monthly wellness report. Assessment to Identify other Residents that may be affected: On 1/10/2025, all resident responsible parties were notified that monthly wellness reports are distributed electronically through the Arrow App, unless they prefer to receive them via email. These reports include updates on medication changes, care adjustments, and documented allergies. All responsible parties confirmed their preferred method of communication and acknowledged receipt of the information. 1/15/2025 A4778 Procedure to ensure ongoing compliance: The Director of Wellness, or their designee, will perform a wéekly audit of new medication orders entered into the electronic order system. This audit will verify that the resident or their responsible party has been notified of any changes to current medication orders. Audit findings will be reviewed with the Executive Director during the weekly one-on-one meeting, A staff in-service session was conducted on 1/10/2025 to re- educate the team on the importance of notifying the resident's family or responsible party prior to administering any new medication. The Wellness Nurse or Med Partner is responsible for ensuring this notification is completed. A4778 Monitoring for Ongoing Compliance: The weekly audit will be reviewed during the Department Head 1/15/2025 Meeting by the Director of Wellness for three months to ensure compliance. Correction of Cited Deficiency: Resident #1's order for ABH cream was discontinued on 12/18/2024. The cream was prescribed as PRN and had not been used during December. Assessment to Identify other Residents that may be affected: The pharmacy conducted an audit to verify medications in the system against documented allergies. While the system automatically triggers a warning for any allergies, we specifically requested a detailed review of compound medications to cross- check against the allergy list. No issues were identified. Procedure to ensure ongoing compliance: No other residents are receiving compound medication. The pharmacy will implement a double-check process for all outsourced compound medications ordered in the future. The Director of Wellness will audit new medications, including a thorough review of allergy lists, to ensure residents do not receive medications they are allergic to. This audit will be reviewed weekly with the Executive Director during 1:1 meeting. Monitoring for Ongoing Compliance: The Director of Wellness will review the weekly audit during the Department Head Meeting for the next three months to ensure compliance. The Administrator signing and dating the first page of the CMS-2567/State Form is indicating their approval of the plan of correction being submitted on this form.

The submission of this Plan of Correction does not constitute an admission on the part of the community as to the accuracy of the surveyors’ findings or the conclusions drawn therefrom. Submission of this Plan of Correction also does not constitute an admission that the findings constitute a deficiency cited are correctly applied. Any changes to the community policies and procedures should be considered subsequent remedial measures as that concept is employed in Rule 407 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, corresponding state rules of civil procedure and should be inadmissible in any proceeding on that basis. The community submits this plan of correction with the intention that it be inadmissible by any third party in any civil or criminal action against the community or any employée, agent, officer, director, attorney, or shareholder of the -eommunityoraffiliated companies. COMPLETION DATE A4778 A4778 Correction of Cited Deficiency: On 1/10/2025, the POA was also notified of the community's plan to immediately inform the responsible party of any medication changes. Additionally, all medication changes will be included in the monthly wellness report, which will also detail allergies documented in the clinical record. The POA confirmed receipt of the monthly wellness report. Assessment to Identify other Residents that may be affected: On 1/10/2025, all resident responsible parties were notified that monthly wellness reports are distributed electronically through the Arrow App, unless they prefer to receive them via email. These reports include updates on medication changes, care adjustments, and documented allergies. All responsible parties confirmed their preferred method of communication and acknowledged receipt of the information. 1/15/2025 A4778 Procedure to ensure ongoing compliance: The Director of Wellness, or their designee, will perform a wéekly audit of new medication orders entered into the electronic order system. This audit will verify that the resident or their responsible party has been notified of any changes to current medication orders. Audit findings will be reviewed with the Executive Director during the weekly one-on-one meeting, A staff in-service session was conducted on 1/10/2025 to re- educate the team on the importance of notifying the resident's family or responsible party prior to administering any new medication. The Wellness Nurse or Med Partner is responsible for ensuring this notification is completed. A4778 Monitoring for Ongoing Compliance: The weekly audit will be reviewed during the Department Head 1/15/2025 Meeting by the Director of Wellness for three months to ensure compliance. Correction of Cited Deficiency: Resident #1's order for ABH cream was discontinued on 12/18/2024. The cream was prescribed as PRN and had not been used during December. Assessment to Identify other Residents that may be affected: The pharmacy conducted an audit to verify medications in the system against documented allergies. While the system automatically triggers a warning for any allergies, we specifically requested a detailed review of compound medications to cross- check against the allergy list. No issues were identified. Procedure to ensure ongoing compliance: No other residents are receiving compound medication. The pharmacy will implement a double-check process for all outsourced compound medications ordered in the future. The Director of Wellness will audit new medications, including a thorough review of allergy lists, to ensure residents do not receive medications they are allergic to. This audit will be reviewed weekly with the Executive Director during 1:1 meeting. Monitoring for Ongoing Compliance: The Director of Wellness will review the weekly audit during the Department Head Meeting for the next three months to ensure compliance. The Administrator signing and dating the first page of the CMS-2567/State Form is indicating their approval of the plan of correction being submitted on this form.
