Resident 6's 12/14/23 Physician Order indicated the resident was referred to hospice services. Resident 6's Census log indicated the resident started hospice services on 12/20/23. A review of Resident 6's MDS records indicated a Significant Change MDS was not completed after the resident started hospice services. On 4/18/24 at 11:06 AM Staff 19 (LPN Unit Manager) reviewed Resident 6's MDS records. Staff 19 stated a Significant Change MDS was required if a resident started hospice services. Staff 19 confirmed a Significant Change MDS was not completed for Resident 6.

F-637 Comprehensive Assessment After Significant Change Immediate action: Resident #6 had a change of status MDS completed 4/24 for going on hospice cares. Others at risk: Residents having a change of condition may be at risk. A baseline audit of the past 30 days reviewed to identify any residents that may have been a significant change. Issues identified have had a comprehensive assessments/significant change in place. Systemic Changes: Education provided to the MDS nurse by the DNS or designee regarding any significant change that is not temporary, will be captured with a significant change MDS. Monitoring and Compliance: Residents with assessment due, will be reviewed, by DNS or designee, for need of significant change of status MDS. Monitoring weekly x 4 weeks, then monthly x 2 months or until substantial compliance is met. QAPI: All results of monitoring will be reviewed weekly in QAPI weekly x 4 weeks, then monthly x 2 or until substantial compliance is met.

Based on observation, interview, and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure care plans were revised to accurately reflect the needs of residents for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#7) reviewed for care plans. This placed residents at risk for unmet needs. Findings include: Resident 7 admitted to the facility in 10/2017 with diagnoses including diabetes and major depressive disorder. A Care Plan initiated on 9/20/23 revealed the resident was to use her/his call light, walkie talkie or to call the nurses' station by phone if staff assistance was needed. A 2/9/24 Quarterly MDS revealed Resident 7 was cognitively intact. A Kardex (brief overview of each resident) dated 4/15/24 revealed staff were to encourage Resident 7 to use her/his call light for her/his needs and to ensure all staff were able to attend to her/his needs. A 3/18/24 Alert Note revealed Resident 7 was reminded staff could not hear or see the call light from the hall the resident was on and for Resident 7 to use her/his call bell system or walkie talkie that was implemented. On 4/17/24 at 3:16 PM Staff 39 (CNA) stated Resident 7 used a call bell system or walkie talkie to request staff assistance as needed. Staff 39 stated she carried a walkie talkie in her pocket so Resident 7 could communicate with her at any time. An observation on 4/17/24 at 3:21 PM revealed Resident 7 used her/his walkie talkie to ask Staff 39 for assistance in her/his room. On 4/17/24 at 3:56 PM Staff 17 (LPN) stated Resident 7 used the call bell system or walkie talkie to communicate with staff for assistance. Staff 17 stated Resident 7 was aware to use her/his call bell system or walkie talkie because the call light could not be seen or heard from the location of Resident 7's room. Staff 17 stated he kept the walkie talkie with him during his shift so he could easily communicate with Resident 7. On 4/18/24 at 10:16 AM Staff 19 (LPN Unit Manager) reviewed Resident 7's care plan and stated it did not accurately reflect how the resident was to call for staff assistance. Staff 19 stated Resident 7 was aware staff could not hear or see her/his call light from her/his room location and she/he was to use the call bell system or walkie talkie the facility provided. On 4/18/24 at 10:34 AM Staff 2 (DNS) stated Resident 7 was instructed to not use her/his call light due to the location of her/his room and to use the other two devices that were provided to her/him for staff assistance. Staff 2 stated she expected care plans to be updated with any changes.

F-657 Care Plan Timing and Revision Immediate action: Resident #7s care plan has been updated to reflect residents status. Others at risk: Residents who do not get their care plans updated to reflect residents status changes may be at risk. Comprehensive care plans were reviewed and updated by the IDT to reflect residents status. Systemic Changes: IDT and licensed nurses were in-serviced by the Director of Nursing regarding accuracy of the care plan to reflect current resident status. Monitoring and compliance: 10% of residents with MDSs due during the week of auditing will be reviewed by DNS/designee to ensure care plan accurately depicts residents status. Monitoring will be weekly x 4 weeks, then monthly x 2 months or until substantial compliance is met. QAPI: All results of audits will be reviewed in QAPI weekly x 4 weeks, then monthly x 2 months or until substantial compliance is met.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents received medications as prescribed, were monitored for medication side effects and provide wound care as ordered for 4 of 14 sampled residents (#s 8, 52, 58 and 59) reviewed for dignity, medications, and pressure ulcers. This placed residents at risk for an ineffective medication regimen and worsening wounds. Findings include: 1. Resident 8 admitted to the facility in 2018 with diagnoses including depression and irregular heartbeat. A 2/22/24 revised care plan indicated the following: -Resident 8 was on anticoagulant therapy and was at risk for bleeding. Interventions included monitoring, documenting, and reporting to the physician any anticoagulant complications. -Resident 8 was on antidepressant medications to reduce sexual behaviors toward staff. Interventions included monitoring the side effects of antidepressant medication and its effectiveness. An 4/2024 MAR instructed staff to administer Zoloft (for treating depression) every morning for depressive disorder and apixaban (an anticoagulant) for an irregular heartbeat. No documentation was found in clinical records Resident 8's anticoagulant and antidepressant medication side effects were monitored and documented daily. On 4/19/24 at 8:01 AM Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (DNS) stated Resident 8's monitoring for anticoagulant and antidepressant medication should be in the physician's orders and monitored daily. , 2.

Resident 58 admitted to the facility in 4/2023 with diagnoses including an infection in a right foot wound. On 9/11/23 a public complaint was received alleging Staff 15 (LPN) failed to complete wound care and falsified records by signing the wound care as complete. A review of Resident 58's 8/2023 TAR indicated her/his dressing change to the right great toe was not completed on 8/24/23 and 8/25/23. A review of Resident 58's 8/2023 Progress Notes revealed the dressing change to the right great toes was passed to the next shift on 8/24/23 and 8/25/23. No evidence was located which indicated Resident 58's dressing was changed on 8/24/23 and 8/25/23. A review of Resident 58's 8/2023 Progress notes revealed on 8/26/23 it was discovered Resident 58's right great toe dressing was not changed for two days, 8/24/23 and 8/25/23, and it was noted there were maggots found in the wound and the wound had increased redness around it. A review of Resident 58's 8/28/23 Wound Evaluation indicated there was increased redness around the wound. A review of Resident 58's 8/2023 MAR revealed on 8/30/23 Resident 58 began Keflex (an antibiotic) for her/his wound. An 8/30/24 Order Note stated new orders for an antibiotic were received due to redness around the wound. On 4/15/24 at 6:34 PM Witness 4 (Complainant) stated she was unable to complete Resident 58's wound care on 8/24/23 and 8/25/23 and she notified the next shift. Witness 4 stated Staff 15 did not complete Resident 58's wound care the days before 8/24/23 but signed it as completed. On 4/16/24 at 6:15 PM Witness 3 (Complainant) stated they were informed Resident 58's wound care was not completed for two days which resulted in maggots being in the wound and a wound infection. On 4/17/24 at 9:04 AM Staff 15 stated she changed Resident 58's dressing to her/his right great toe on 8/23/24 and there were no maggots present. Staff 15 denied signing wound care was completed when it was not. On 4/19/24 at 8:41 AM Staff 2 (DNS) stated she was aware maggots were found in Resident 58's right great toe wound on 8/26/24. Staff 2 acknowledged Resident 58's wound care was not completed on 8/24/23 and 8/25/23 and Resident 58 was started on antibiotics on 8/30/24 related to her/his right great toe wound. Staff 2 denied any increased redness around the wound and stated the wound did not worsen. 4. Resident 59 admitted to the facility in 7/2018 with diagnoses including a pressure injury (wound caused by pressure) to the sacrum region (the large, triangle-shaped bone in the lower spine that forms part of the pelvis). On 9/11/23 a public complaint was received alleging Staff 15 (LPN) failed to complete wound care and falsified records by signing the wound care was completed in 5/2023.

A 2/2/24 psychologist Progress Note revealed Resident 29 was assessed and the resident reported difficulty sleeping due to the environment. The resident stated she/he had some depression, had good family support, wanted to go home but realized she/he required more support, and moving to a higher level of care would be appropriate. A recommendation was made for an increase in melatonin (sleep aid) for sleep. The progress note did not indicate the resident was assessed for behaviors the facility was not able to be manage. A 3/2024 MAR revealed on 3/6/24 Resident 29 was started on Seroquel, was administered the medication every night, and on 3/20/24 was started on Nuplazid (treats Parkinson's related psychosis [mental disorder with a disconnection from reality]) and was administered the medication every morning. The MAR also indicated Resident 29 was started on an antibiotic on 3/28/24. Resident 29's clinical record did not have an assessment for the initiation of the Seroquel or Nuplazid. On 4/15/24 at 1:57 PM Witness 9 (Family) stated in 1/2024 the facility started the resident on Seroquel for no reason. Witness 9 stated the facility staff called in 1/2024 and stated they reported Resident 29 got up at night and fell and then they started the Seroquel. Witness 9 stated she was upset, came into the facility, and wanted the medication to be stopped. Witness 9 stated she wanted Resident 29's neurologist to monitor the resident's medications due to the resident's Parkinson's disease. On 4/16/24 at 2:42 PM Resident 29 was observed in her/his room playing dominos with her/his roommate. Resident 29 explained the rules of dominos to the surveyor. On 4/16/24 at 2:50 PM Staff 47 (CNA) stated at times Resident 29 was confused but was easily redirected. Resident 29 at times needed safety reminders to not walk without assistance and at times stated to staff to "get away from me" but otherwise the resident did not have behaviors. Resident 29 liked to color and colored for hours, liked to put art on the wall, and showed staff what she/he created. Resident 29 also liked to talk to her/his roommate. On 4/17/24 at 1:47 PM Staff 10 (LPN Unit Manager) stated after the Seroquel was initially started in 1/2024 Witness 9 was very upset. Witness 9 came in to the facility and Staff 10 spoke to Witness 9 about Resident 29's dementia diagnosis. Staff 10 stated Witness 9 was not aware the resident had a diagnosis of dementia. Witness 9 wanted the resident's neurologist to assist with any psychotropic medication management due to the resident's diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. On 3/5/24 Resident 29 went to her/his neurologist and was started on Seroquel and Nuplazid. The resident's clinical record did not contain the neurologist's assessment or rationale for the psychotropic medications. Staff 10 acknowledged the resident's record did not contain information to indicate Resident 10 had delusions, hallucinations or behaviors which staff were not able to redirect with non-pharmacological interventions prior to 1/25/24 or prior to the restart of the Seroquel and Nuplazid in 3/2024. A request was made for an assessment or rationale for the initiation of Seroquel and Nuplazid. No additional information was provided. On 4/17/24 at 4:02 PM Staff 20 (IP/LPN) stated Resident 29 was more confused when she/he was first admitted to the facility in 1/2024 but seemed to improve. Staff 20 stated Resident 29 had quite a few falls. After one of the falls at the end of 3/2024 Resident 29 reported knee pain and was sent to the hospital for evaluation. At the hospital the resident denied knee pain and the resident was tested and diagnosed to have a UTI. Resident 29 was started on antibiotics. Staff 20 was not able to identify Resident 29's behaviors which would warrant initiating psychotropic medications. Staff 20 also stated it was unclear if the resident's condition improved because she/he was treated for the UTI or was started on the psychotropic medications.

F-758 Free from Unnecessary Psychotropic Meds/PRN Use Immediate action: Resident # 29 no longer resides here. Others at risk: Residents being placed on psychoactive medications may be at risk. Audit of resident with psychoactive medication use for residents that may be at risk. Resident triggering for this will be reviewed by pharmacist, Rogue psych consultant and IDT. Systemic Changes: Director of Nursing educated the licensed nurses regarding ensuring residents are assessed prior to prescription and use of psychotropic medications being used. Residents will have a behavior monitor showing behaviors exhibited prior to placing them on psychoactive medication unless a physician deems necessary during an evaluation. Nursing staff may reach out to Rogue psych consultants to have resident assessed as well. Monitoring and compliance: Nursing managers or designee will review up to 5 x a week in standup residents starting on a psychoactive medication to ensure behavior monitor is in place and appropriate assessment has been completed. Audits will be completed weekly x 4 weeks, then monthly x 2 months or until substantial compliance is met. QAPI: All results of audits will be reviewed in QAPI weekly x 4 weeks, then monthly x 2 months or until substantial compliance is met.

Based on interview and record review it was it was determined the facility failed to ensure a medication error rate of less than 5%. The facility administration error rate was 7% with two errors in 27 opportunities. This placed residents at risk for an ineffective medication regimen. Findings include: 1. Resident 303 admitted to the facility in 2024 with a diagnosis of a low functioning thyroid. Epocrates Online (web based pharmacy resource) revealed levothyroxine (hormone replacement)should be taken 15 to 60 minutes before breakfast with a full glass of water at the same time daily. Resident 303's 4/6/24 admission MDS indicated she/he was cognitively intact. On 4/16/24 at 7:30 AM Staff 15 (LPN) was observed to administer levothryoxine to Resident 303. Resident 303 was observed eating breakfast and stopped to take her/his medications including the levothyroxine. On 4/16/24 at 2:58 PM Resident 303 stated when she/he was at home, she usually did not take levothyroxine with food. Resident 303 stated she/he took the levothyroxine as soon as she/he woke up, even before she/he drank her/his coffee. Resident 303 stated since admission to the facility the staff administered the medication with food. On 4/17/24 at 10:00 AM Staff 10 (LPN Unit Manager) stated the medical director felt the benefits outweighed the risks if a resident took thyroid medications with food as long as the resident took the medication with food and the resident's labs were monitored. By providing the levothyroxine with breakfast it allowed the resident to sleep and not be woken at 6:00 AM. Staff 10 stated she reviewed medications with residents at the 72 hour conference but did not ask the residents about their medication administration time preferences for medications such as levothyroxine. Staff 10 acknowledged if a resident was a long-term resident, administering levothyroxine with food and monitoring labs could be effective, but for a resident on the skilled unit and only in the facility for a short period of time such as Resident 303, changing the resident's medication regimen might not be therapeutic. A request was made to Staff 10 to provide scientific data to support administering levothyroxine with food. No additional information was provided. 2. Resident 30 admitted to the facility in 2024 with a diagnosis of diabetes On 4/16/24 at 7:54 AM Staff 45 (LPN) was observed to administer Resident 30 her/his medications. Cranberry D-Mannose (supplement to prevent UTIs) was not administered. On 4/17/24 at 9:22 AM Staff 45 stated she/he did not administer Resident 30 her/his Cranberry D-Mannose because it was not available in the supply closet. On 4/17/24 at 9:22 AM with Staff 45 and staff 46 (Central Stores) one bottle of Cranberry D-Mannose was observed on the shelf. Staff 45 stated she looked in the supply closet and only saw plain cranberry supplement. Staff 45 stated she did not see the Cranberry D-Mannose on the higher shelf.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were free from physical abuse for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#10) reviewed for abuse. This put residents at risk for abuse. Findings include: a. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility in 11/2021 with diagnoses including anxiety, arthritis and adult failure to thrive. A 12/2/21 care plan indicated Resident 10 required one-person assistance with a bed pan or urinal. A 12/23/21 Alleged Abuse investigation indicated Resident 10 informed Staff 4 (LPN) that Staff 8 (CNA) was rude to her/him while assisting with a urinal on evening shift on 12/22/21. Resident 10 stated she/he had her/his call light engaged, Staff 8 came into the room and Resident 10 informed her she/he needed to be assisted with toileting. Staff 8 placed the urinal "very painfully." When Resident 10 was ready for assistance Staff 8 came in and grabbed the urinal and did not assist with any hygiene after voiding. Staff 8 did not say anything to Resident 10 and was physically rough with her/him. Resident 10 stated Staff 8 "angrily placed in [urinal] and out as if I were a burden." Resident 10 was noted to have a dark colored shear mark approximately 3 cm by .2 cm in length to the right inner thigh next to the groin. The investigation determination was substantiated for physical abuse. A 12/23/21 handwritten signed statement by Staff 4 indicated when they placed Resident 10's brief on her/him a red-purple streak was observed on her/his right inner thigh. Staff 4 asked Resident 10 what she/he thought had happened since the mark was not there during previous dressing changes the day before. Resident 10 stated Staff 8 was "very rough" with the urinal when putting it into place and when removing it. Resident 10 started to cry and explained how Staff 8 "jabbed" the urinal between her/his legs and then left the room and when Staff 8 returned she did not provide Resident 10 any type of hygiene care. Resident 10 stated she/he thought Staff 8 hated her/him because she was always rude and rolled her eyes at Resident 10 when she/he had care needs. Resident 10 stated at times when her/his call light was activated Staff 8 came in, shut off the call light and then Resident 10 told her what she/he needed. Staff 8 would act like she was too busy or rushed to provide services for Resident 10's care needs. A 12/23/21 signed handwritten statement by Staff 36 (CNA) indicated there was a time she asked Staff 8 if she ever thought she was too rough with providing residents' peri care. Staff 8 shook her head and said "no" and proceeded to ask the resident if she was being too rough. The resident said "no" and Staff 8 stated "If my babies can handle this, so can [the residents]." A 12/23/21 signed handwritten statement by Staff 37 (CMA) indicated Resident 10 stated Staff 8 was rough with her/him during peri care on the buttocks and rough with urinal and pulled it away abruptly. Resident 10 indicated she/he felt Staff 8 was not empathetic and she/he did not feel comfortable or safe with Staff 8 and she was rough with her/him intentionally. A 12/23/21 Nursing Care Note indicated Resident 10 had a pain of five out of 10 on a one to 10 pain scale when Staff 8 caused injury to right her/his inner groin. Resident 10 was noted to have increased anxiety and tearfulness when speaking of the incident. A 12/25/21 handwritten signed statement by Staff 26 (CNA) stated Staff 8 was a little more "rough" than what Staff 26 thought she needed to be. Staff 26 stated they went into clean Resident 10 and put her/him on her/his side and Resident 10 was complaining of pain because of wounds on her/his buttocks. Staff 8 continued to clean Resident 10. Staff 26 stated Staff 8 did not explain to residents when she was going to do something to a resident. Staff 26 stated he was confused about the situation and if he needed to stop Staff 8 from cleaning Resident 10 as she/he was moaning in pain. Staff 26 stated he knew if he felt a resident was being abused, he needed to report it. Staff 26 stated he thought he should have reported the situation to the nurse if he knew a resident was in pain and should have gotten the nurse to clean her/him instead so she/he would not have pain. A 12/2021 TAR instructed staff to monitor Resident 10's right inner thigh because of shearing and an abrasion for an increased discoloration, bruising or pain every shift for five days and notify the provider if any noted with a start date of 12/23/21. On 11/7/22 at 11:26 AM Staff 8 CNA stated the investigation was not valid and there was no abrasion and Resident 10 had a purple stretch mark scar in that area. On 11/15/22 at 10:02 AM Staff 26 confirmed his 12/25/21 handwritten signed statement to be true and correct as written. On 11/21/22 at 11:33 AM Staff 4 (LPN) stated Resident 10 did not have any scars in the groin area and she/he was cognitively intact. Staff 4 stated she observed two to three red lines which came up Resident 10's thigh after her/his report of Staff 8 being rough during care in 12/2021. Staff 4 stated Resident 10 was not the type of person who would complain about something which was not true. In an interview on 11/22/22 at 11:06 AM Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (DNS), Staff 10 (Administrator) and Staff 81 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated the investigation for Resident 10 on 12/23/21 was substaintated for physical abuse. 2. Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were free from neglect. The facility failed to ensure adequate staffing was in place to meet acuity levels, to provide timely incontinent care and care and services to residents. The cumulative effect of these failures in providing care and services contributed to an environment of neglect for 4 of 12 residents (#s 1, 2, 8 and 13) reviewed for ADLs, catheter care and incontinent care. Findings include: a. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 2018 with diagnosis including chronic kidney disease. A 5/1/18 care plan indicated Resident 1 was incontinent of bowel and had mixed incontinence of bladder. Resident 1 had an ADL self-care performance deficit with limited mobility and required assistance of one person for toilet use, or a bed pan. An 10/8/21 Alleged Neglect investigation indicated at approximately 11:40 AM Staff 4 (LPN) observed Resident 1's incontinent brief heavily soiled. Staff 4 instructed Staff 3 (CNA) to provide Resident 1 with incontinent care. Resident 1 was asked if she/he was provided incontinent care earlier and she/he stated she/he could not specifically state when but stated "I was changed." Abuse and neglect were not substantiated as there were no evidence of delay in care per Resident 1's statement. Resident 1 was alert and oriented, able to make her/his needs known and she/he had mild cognitive impairment. Resident 1 was noted to experience possible neglect from Staff 4 for not providing incontinent care in a timely manner. An undated handwritten document attached to an Alleged Neglect investigation for Resident 2 indicated an interview with Resident 1 which stated she/he sometimes had to wait for assiastance, and residents living at the facility for "awhile" were not a priority for care as the other residents with shorter stays. An 10/8/21 handwritten statement by Staff 4 indicated she went into Resident 1's room to provide treatment and discovered her/his incontinent products were heavily soiled. An 10/8/21 signed document by Staff 5 (LPN RCM) indicated she interviewed Staff 3 and she stated she did not provide incontinent care to Resident 2 as she was attempting to complete vitals and weights on her other assigned residents. Staff 3 ended up providing incontinent care when Staff 4 instructed her to complete the task. Staff 3 stated she was not able to complete her two-hour incontinent checks on her assigned residents. Staff 4 noted Resident 1 needed incontinent care as she/he had a bowel movement and was soiled. An 10/8/21 Direct Care Staff Daily Report revealed the facility was not staffed at minimum staffing ratio for CNAs on day shift. An 10/2021 Documentation Survey Report revealed no documentation for bladder, bowel or toileting assistance for Resident 1 on 10/8/22 on day shift. An 10/29/21 Annual MDS indicated Resident 1 required two-person extensive assist with toileting, was incontinent of bladder and had moisture associated skin damage to her/his coccyx which was being treated with barrier cream. A 7/29/22 quarterly MDS indicated Resident 1 required extensive one-person assistance with toilet use and was frequently incontinent of bladder and always incontinent of bowel. An 10/2022 Documentation Survey Report revealed Resident 1 required barrier cream after each incontinent episode and PRN. Out of 93 opportunities there were 43 times no documentation was found indicating Resident 1 was provided barrier cream. For toilet use out of 94 opportunities 26 times it was documented the activity did not occur, and no documentation three times. On 10/19/22 at 8:02 AM Resident 1 stated she/he could not remember specific details from 10/2021 but she/he was left sitting in soiled incontinent briefs for extended periods. Resident 1 stated "the other day" her/his call light was on for over an hour on day shift. Resident 1 stated the staff all had the same excuse telling her/him they do not see the call light activated. During continuous observation on 10/31/22 from 2:00 PM through 2:24 PM Resident 1's call light was activated at 2:02 PM. A staff member entered the room and turned off the call light and then went to the nurses' station and stated Resident 1 did not like her to provide care and she/he needed incontinent care. At 2:18 PM Resident 1 stated she/he still needed incontinent care and was still waiting for assistance. At 2:24 PM two staff members entered Resident 1's room to provide care. On 11/8/22 at 11:18 AM Staff 19 (CNA) stated on 10/8/21 the facility was short staffed and another resident was having behaviors and it was a "crazy" day.

Resident effected: Based on observation, interview, and record review it was alleged the facility failed to provide bathing for residents 12, 17 and 20 when reviewed for ADLs. This placed residents at risk for poor personal hygiene. Residents 12, 17 & 20 had a skin audit completed and were interviewed to get shower preferences. Their task and care plan were updated to reflect their preferences. A new system was put into place to require additional documentation by LN if refusal occurred. 2. Identification of Others: Other residents have the potential to be affected. Shower tasks were audited to identify other residents that lacked documentation of showers. All dependent residents were interviewed to get shower preferences and their task and care plan were updated to reflect their preferences. A new system was put into place to require additional documentation by LN if refusal occurred 3. Systemic Changes: DNS or designee will educate the nursing staff on showers and personal hygiene for residents DNS or designee will educate staff on completing shower sheet, documenting showers or refusal and notifying the LN for another approach to offer showering. 4. Monitoring: DNS or designee will audit the POC system and shower sheets for up to 5 residents 5 times weekly x 4 weeks, then every other week x 6 for accuracy in updating the care plan to reflect ADL and behavior needs for the residents current needs. All findings will be reviewed in QAPI until significant compliance is met.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to follow physician's orders for 4 of 6 sampled residents (#s 13, 15, 16 and 20) reviewed for medication and catheter care. This placed residents at risk for unmet medication needs. Findings include: 1. Resident 13 re-admitted to the facility in 9/2022 with diagnoses including e-coli, chest pain and heart attack.

In the course of completing the investigation it was determined another medication cup was found on top of Resident 13's table. 2. Resident 15 was admitted to the facility in 5/2022 with diagnoses including diabetes.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to prevent pressure ulcer development for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 8 and 23) reviewed for pressure ulcers. This placed residents at risk for developing and experiencing worsening pressure ulcers. Findings include: 1. Resident 8 was admitted to the facility in 2/2022 with diagnoses including traumatic subdural hemorrhage (bleeding under the membrane covering the brain). A 2/3/22 Admission Nursing Database revealed Resident 8 had an existing wound to the right leg and bruising to the left leg. Resident 8 did not have Unstageable (ulcer covered by a layer of dead tissue) or Stage 3 (full thickness skin loss) pressure injuries over the last six months prior to her/his admission to the facility. A 2/4/22 care plan indicated Resident 8 had an ADL self-care performance deficit and limited mobility and was totally dependent on staff for repositioning and turning in bed and she/he needed repositioned every two hours. A 2/7/22 Admission MDS and Pressure Ulcer Injury CAA revealed Resident 8's BIMS was 14 indicating she/he was cognitively intact and required extensive two-person assist with bed mobility. Resident 8 did not have a pressure ulcer but was at risk for pressure ulcers. Resident 8 had limited range of motion and staff were to continue to assist with all ADLs including bed mobility. A 2/3/22 through 2/17/22 Documentation Survey Report revealed out of 46 opportunities for Resident 8's bed mobility 11 times no documentation indicating repositioning occurred, three times no help or oversight from staff at any time, and five times limited assistance from staff. A 2/2022 TAR instructed staff to provide the following treatments for Resident 8: -Weekly skin audits one time a day every Sunday and to document a "+" to indicate new skin issues and a "-" if no skin issues. On 2/6/22, 2/13/22 and 2/27/22 it was documented "NA" with no documentation what "NA" indicated. No documentation was found in clinical records Resident 8 received weekly skin audits on 2/6/22, 2/13/22 and 2/27/22. -Cleanse coccyx wound with saline, pat dry and apply barrier cream three times a week every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with a start date of 2/17/22 and discontinue on 2/23/22. -Cleanse sacral wound with normal saline, pat dry and apply foam dressing ever day shift with a start date of 2/24/22. There was no documentation the treatment was completed on 2/25/22. -Turn and reposition every two hours while awake with a start date of 2/23/22. A 2/16/22 Skin Impairment investigation indicated Resident 8 reported to staff she/he had a "sore on [her/his] bottom and the doctor office placed a dressing on it." Resident 8 had a non-blanchable pink area on her/his sacrum. Resident 8 stated the area was painful when she/he laid on it. Resident 8 was placed on two-hour repositioning schedule as tolerated and allowed. The investigation indicated the root cause was Resident 8 liked to be on her/his back and noted she/he had cognitive impairment and forgetfulness and poor arterial flow to left femur. Abuse and neglect were not substantiated on admission. The resident only required one assist with bed mobility and did not require more assistance since her/his readmission. New interventions included to turn and reposition Resident 8 every two hours as allowed or tolerated. A 2/18/22 Skin and Wound Evaluation indicated Resident 8 had an in-house acquired Stage 2 pressure ulcer on the sacrum which was an area of 0.5 cm2, a length of 1.1 cm, width of 0.7 cm and a depth of 0.1 cm. The wound was 100 percent epithelial with no exudate and the edges were attached. A referral to the wound clinic was completed and the area was to be kept off-loaded with pillows and the resident turned and repositioned. A 2/18/22 Occupational Therapy Treatment Encounter Note indicated Resident 8 complained of a "new" wound to the coccyx and there was decreased CNA assistance available for repositioning her/him in bed. A 2/22/22 Complaints Grievances form indicated Resident 8 was not getting repositioned enough and informed Staff 64 (LPN RCM) the resident was left on the bedside commode for an extended period. A 2/23/22 Wound Clinic Progress note indicated Resident 8's Stage 2 pressure ulcer to the sacrum worsened and orders were sent to the facility to turn every two hours. On 11/14/22 at 12:20 Staff 10 (Interim Administrator) indicated the facility did not have any documentation from Resident 8's 2/16/22 wound care appointment and it was not common for the wound care clinic to only send new wound orders. On 11/17/22 at 9:43 AM Staff 35 (LPN) stated she documented "NA" on the TAR when the TAR and the resident's shower days did not correlate for the same day. The CNAs were to complete the weekly skin checks and if a resident did not get a shower on the day which was on the TAR Staff 35 marked it as not applicable or "NA". Staff 39 stated when a resident was admitted to the facility the admission nurse would randomly schedule weekly skin check days. It was entered on a resident's plan of care for CNAs to complete weekly skin checks but were skipped when staff were too busy to check. On 11/21/22 at 10:04 AM Staff 64 (LPN RCM) stated she spoke with staff about the resident's concern and provided education, as well as interviewed staff, but she did not know the exact time or if it was a bed pan or bedside commode, so it was difficult to know when the incident of Resident 8 being left for an extended period occurred. In an interview on 11/22/22 at 11:03 AM Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (DNS), Staff 10 (Administrator) and Staff 81 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated the sacral wound and the coccyx wound was the same wound. Staff 2 stated she could not speak to Resident 8's level of need for repositioning and lack of repositioning and would like to review. No additional information was provided. 2. Resident 23 admitted to the facility in 10/2022 with diagnoses including sepsis and a pressure ulcer of the left buttock. An 10/8/22 signed physician order instructed staff to complete the following: -Bilateral buttocks and sacrum clean wound pat dry apply moisture barrier to buttocks and coccyx three times a day. -Wound clinic order: Resident 23 agreed she/he would not be up out of bed longer than 12 hours a day. Nursing staff to document how many hours she/he was up in her/his wheelchair per shift and send to wound clinic every Friday. Nurses were to log the number of hours Resident 23 was up during the day and when she/he laid down at night. Resident 23 was to sign the log daily every shift for wound care orders with a start date of 10/6/22. An 10/2022 TAR instructed staff to complete the following treatments for Resident 23: -Cleanse left and right ischium wound with vashe, apply Medihoney and alginate into wound cover with absorptive pad and change daily and PRN onetime a day with start date of 10/19/22. -10/20/22, 10/23/22, 10/26/22, 10/27/22 indicated see nurses' notes -10/21/22, 10/24/22, 10/28/22, 10/29/22, and 10/30/22 indicated Resident 23 refused treatment. -Encourage Resident 23 to stay in bed longer, remind her/him when up to lie down during the day and assist as soon as she/he comes inside to encourage off-loading of wounds every shift with a start date of 10/5/22. Out of 52 opportunities there were 20 times it was documented "n", four times documented "NO", and two times no documentation Resident 23 was encouraged to lie down. -Nurses were to assist and ensure Resident 23 was turned and repositioned in bed and ensure to float her/his coccyx with pillows, document refusals, and notify the nurse practitioner if she/he was non-compliant every week on Fridays with a start date of 10/5/22. Out of 52 opportunities turning and repositioning was documented as "n" eight times, "NA" 18 times, refused two times on 10/21/22 and 10/29/22, and no documentation one time. -Resident 23 agreed to not be out of bed longer than 12 hours a day. Nursing was to document how many hours she/he was up in her/his wheelchair and complete a log with Resident 23 to sign daily and when she/he laid down at night with a start date of 10/5/22. Out of 52 opportunities it was documented zero hours 14 times, no documentation three times, and one time documented as resident was out of the facility. On 10/17/22 and 10/31/22 on day shift it was documented zero hours Resident 23 was up in her/his wheelchair. On 10/17/22 at 8:27 AM and 10/31/22 at 12:53 PM Resident 23 was observed up in her/his wheelchair outside in the facility courtyard. On 10/17/22 at 8:27 AM Resident 23 stated there was an agreement with the facility for the staff to assist her/him into bed between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM for a couple of hours, but the facility was short staffed and too busy to assist with the transfers. An 10/21/22 and 10/29/22 Order Notes indicated what was physician ordered on the TAR for nurses to assist and ensure Resident 23 was turned and repositioned in bed and ensure to float her/his coccyx with pillows, document refusals, and notify the nurse practitioner if she/he was non-complaint every week on Fridays. No documentation was in the note for the reason Resident 23 refused assistance with repositioning. A typed document sent via email dated 11/10/22 at 3:27 PM by Staff 5 (LPN RCM) indicated Staff 5 created the nursing order to be included in Resident 23's wound clinic order to "satisfy patient." The paper log was to help Resident 23's anxiety and trust to confirm her/his hours she/he was up in her/his wheelchair during the day. The log was not a part of Resident 23's medical records and was not located. In an interview on 11/22/22 at 11:03 AM Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (DNS), Staff 10 (Administrator) and Staff 81 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated Resident 23 returned to the facility at mealtime and all the staff were passing trays for the other residents. It was challenging for staff to assist with the transfer during mealtimes.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure a resident's environment remained free from accident hazards for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#4) reviewed for falls. Resident 4 sustained a fracture to the left arm. Findings include: Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 11/2021 with diagnoses including COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), dementia and fatigue. A 11/24/21 care plan indicated Resident 4 was at risk for falls and was on a toileting schedule to assist her/him with self-transferring to the toilet and to place a bedside commode next to the bed at night for safety related to self-transferring. A 11/28/21 Admission MDS indicated Resident 4 required limited one-person assistance with transfers and supervision with toilet use. The resident was not steady with walking or when transitioning from seated to standing positions, but was able to stabilize her/himself without staff assistance and she/he did not have a fall history.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide adequate incontinence and catheter care for 4 of 6 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 8 and 22) reviewed for catheter and incontinence care. This placed residents at risk for unmet incontinence needs. 1. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 2018 with diagnosis including chronic kidney disease. A 5/1/18 care plan indicated Resident 1 was incontinent of bowel and had mixed incontinence of bladder. Resident 1 had an ADL self-care performance deficit with limited mobility and required assistance of one person for toilet use or a bed pan. An 10/8/21 Alleged Neglect investigation indicated at approximately 11:40 AM Staff 4 (LPN) observed Resident 1's incontinent brief heavily soiled. Staff 4 instructed Staff 3 (CNA) to provide Resident 1 with incontinent care. Resident 1 was asked if she/he was provided incontinent care earlier and she/he stated she/he could not specifically state when but stated "I was changed." Abuse and neglect were not substantiated as there were no evidence of delay in care per Resident 1's statement. Resident 1 was alert and oriented and able to make her/his needs known and she/he had mild cognitive impairment. Resident 1 was noted to have possible neglect from Staff 4 for not providing incontinent care in a timely manner. An undated handwritten document attached to an Alleged Neglect investigation for Resident 1 indicated an interview with Resident 1 which stated she/he sometimes had to wait and if a resident had lived in the facility for "awhile" the resident would not be a priority for care as much as other residents who were in the facility for a shorter time. An 10/8/21 handwritten statement by Staff 4 indicated she went into Resident 1's room to provide treatment and discovered her/his incontinent products were heavily soiled. An 10/8/21 signed document by Staff 5 (LPN RCM) indicated she interviewed Staff 3 and she stated she did not provide incontinent care to Resident 1 as she was attempting to complete vitals and weights on her other assigned residents. Staff 3 ended up providing incontinent care when Staff 4 instructed her to complete the task. Staff 3 stated she was not able to complete her two-hour checks on her residents. Staff 4 noted Resident 1 needed incontinent care as she/he had a bowel movement and was soiled. An 10/8/21 Direct Care Staff Daily Report revealed the facility was not staffed to the state minimum staffing ratio for CNAs on day shift. An 10/2021 Documentation Survey Report revealed no documentation for bladder, bowel or toileting assistance for Resident 1 on 10/8/22 during day shift. An 10/29/21 Annual MDS indicated Resident 1 required two-person extensive assist with toileting, was incontinent of bladder and had moisture associated skin damage to her/his coccyx which was being treated with barrier cream. A 7/29/22 quarterly MDS indicated Resident 1 required extensive one-person assistance with toilet use and was frequently incontinent of bladder and always incontinent of bowel. An 10/2022 Documentation Survey Report revealed Resident 1 required barrier cream after each incontinent episode and PRN. Out of 93 opportunities there were 43 times no documentation was found Resident 1 was provided barrier cream. For toilet use out of 94 opportunities 26 times it was documented the activity did not occur, and no documentation three times. On 10/19/22 at 8:02 AM Resident 1 stated she/he could not remember specific details from 10/2021 but she/he was left sitting in soiled incontinent briefs for extended periods. Resident 1 stated "the other day" her/his call light was on for over an hour on day shift. Resident 1 stated the staff all had the same excuse telling her/him they did not see the call light activated. During continuous observation on 10/31/22 from 2:00 PM through 2:24 PM Resident 1's call light was activated at 2:02 PM, a staff member entered the room and turned off the call light, then went to the nurses' station and stated Resident 1 did not like her to provide care and she/he needed incontinent care. At 2:18 PM Resident 1 stated she/he still needed incontinent care and was still waiting for assistance. At 2:24 PM two staff members entered Resident 1's room to provide care. On 11/8/22 at 11:18 AM Staff 19 (CNA) stated on 10/8/21 the facility was short staffed and another resident was having behaviors and it was a "crazy" day. Staff 19 stated Staff 3 was "running her bottom off" to complete her tasks. Staff 19 stated there was just not enough time to address all the care needs for the residents and Staff 19 was attempting to assist Staff 3 with catching up. On 11/21/22 at 11:20 AM Staff 4 (LPN) stated she remembered 10/8/21 as she went into Resident 1's room and her/his incontinent padding underneath her/him was soiled and Staff 4 activated Resident 1's call light. She watched Staff 3 enter Resident 1's room and turn off her/his light and leave without providing incontinent care. Staff 4 asked Staff 3 if she assisted Resident 1 as she/he was laying in feces. Staff 3 stated if Resident 1 wanted incontinent care she/he would request it and Resident 1 did not request incontinent care. In an interview on 11/22/22 at 10:46 AM Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (DNS), Staff 10 (Administrator) and Staff 81 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated the 10/8/21 investigation for Resident 1 not receiving timely incontinent care was substantiated. 2.

She informed Staff 3 of Resident 2's condition and Staff 3 did not provide Resident 2 timely incontinent care even after being informed of Resident 2's condition. In an interview on 11/22/22 at 10:46 AM Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (DNS), Staff 10 (Administrator) and Staff 81 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated the 10/8/21 investigation regarding Resident 2 not receiving timely incontinent care was substantiated. 3. Resident 8 was admitted to the facility 2/2022 with diagnoses including traumatic subdural hemorrhage (bleeding under the membrane covering the brain). A 2/7/22 Admission MDS indicated Resident 8's BIMS was 14 and she/he was cognitively intact and was occasionally incontinent of bowel and bladder. Resident 8 required extensive two-person physical assist with toilet use. A 2/4/22 care plan revealed Resident 8 required two-person maximum assistance using a gait belt for toilet use. Resident 8 was occasionally incontinent of bladder, had a history of UTIs and needed toileting upon rising, before meals, after meals and at bedtime. A 2/3/22 through 2/21/22 Documentation Survey Report revealed out of 78 opportunities for bladder care and services Resident 8 used a bed pan eight times, used bedside commode 26 times and no documentation 13 times. A 2/22/22 Complaints Grievances form indicated Resident 8 was not getting repositioned enough and informed Staff 64 (LPN RCM) she/he was left on a bedside commode for an extended period.

Staff 67 indicated the nurse would assist with resident needs as able. A 9/11/22 Grievance Communication Form by Staff 34 indicated at 6:00 PM the facility was short two CNAs. A staff member was alone on Wing 3 so Staff 34 stayed until almost 7:00 PM to assist a resident with dining. Staff 34 attempted to call the staffing phone and received no answer, so she then texted the staffing phone number and received no response. Staff 34 indicated it was unsafe working conditions and a non-response from staffing was not okay. The "action taken" section of the form indicated it would be discussed what would be best to do in the situation and either have Staff 1 (Administrator) or Staff 10 (Interim administrator) to have a phone. The back of the form dated 9/13/22 stated staffing was notified and she did look for coverage. On 10/14/22 at 8:29 AM a continuous observation of a call light wait time for room 214 was 25 minutes.

Resident 7 stated frequently it was two to up to four hours to wait for response. Resident 7 stated she/he can hear people going up and down the hallway. One time it sounded like someone was choking for 30 to 40 minutes and no one was in the hallway and Resident 7 activated her/his call light and then called out and no one came so she/he called the main facility phone number but no one answered the phone. Resident 7 stated weekends were the worst. On 10/31/22 at 1:32 PM Resident 25 stated call light wait times varied but when staff were "super busy" the wait time could be over a half an hour. On 10/31/22 at 1:05 PM during random observations a resident was heard yelling down the hall from the nurses' station on wing 200. Staff checked on one room and came out and stated it was not that resident who was yelling and continued assisting other residents. Resident 29's call light above the door was observed blocked with a fire emergency light and could not be seen down the hallway. A round mirror was in the corner of the hall but the call light indicator could not be seen in the mirror. No audible sound came from the nurses' station for Resident 29's room.

On 11/1/22 at 10:47 AM Witness 17 (Staff) stated call light wait times were "horrendous", and there was always a lot of "talk" to fix the call light wait times but there was never any action. "Things" are "covered up" in the facility so there will be no issues or repercussions. On 11/4/22 at 12:36 AM Staff 34 (Former CNA) stated during the weekends the facility was short staffed consistently and many times there were only two CNAs for 19 to 23 residents. Staff 34 stated completing all her assignments was not possible because of short staffing and she was "running her butt off" and not getting it all done. Staff 34 stated it was the residents' home and they were not cared for appropriately. They had two residents who required 45 minutes to an hour to shower on the same day as well as trying to answer call lights and it was impossible. Staff 34 stated residents who were continent had incontinent episodes because they could not wait and Staff 34 observed skin breakdown because there was not enough time to complete proper cleaning of the skin. Staff 34 stated administration came out in the hallway to assist only when corporate staff or State Agency staff was in the facility. On 11/7/22 at 8:37 AM Staff 27 (CNA) stated when working at the facility about 50 percent of the time the facility was short staffed. Residents complained of long call light wait times and she was required to provide full linen bed changes when she started her shift because the previous shift did not complete incontinent care for the residents. Residents had incontinent episodes when they were continent because of having to wait for their call light to be answered. Staff 27 stated she saw Resident 13's call light on for 45 minutes. On 11/7/22 at 11:52 AM Staff 44 (CNA) stated the facility was quite often short staffed and she did not have enough time to complete her required assignments each day. It was impossible to always get showers done and it was required to stay after shift to complete charting. Staff and residents were upset because of the short staffing and it was not fair to the residents to not get the care they needed. Residents complained of long call light wait times, had to wait in wet incontinent briefs and some had skin breakdown because of sitting too long in wet incontinent briefs. Staff 44 stated Wing 2 had many residents and three staff members on days was not enough to provide them all the care and services they needed. On 11/8/22 at 9:01 AM Staff 47 (CNA) stated the concern for the facility was short staffing. Many times staff told residents they would provide them a shower but then did not have time to complete the task. On 11/8/22 at 10:24 AM Staff 53 (CMA) stated because of being assigned to 28 to 32 residents it was difficult if a resident was sleeping to go back two to three times to attempt to administer medications. Staff 53 stated in 10/2022 she became busy and forgot to go back and administer Resident 13's medications. On 11/8/22 at 10:59 AM Staff 19 (CNA) indicated the facility was short staffed 50 to 60 percent of the time and weekends were worse.

Staff 28 stated recently she came onto shift and the previous CNA did not know a resident had a catheter. Staff 28 was concerned the CNA was working for 12 hours and did not know what level of continence, incontinence or if a resident had a catheter, and wondered if the staff member had even entered the resident's room. On 11/14/22 at 10:31 AM Staff 43 (CNA) stated it depended on the acuity of the residents and if other staff called off working if she had time to complete her daily tasks for the days. Residents complained of long call light wait times, and if there was only three CNAs on a hall with thirty residents the call light wait time could be longer. CNAs were supposed to watch and help with other CNA's call lights, but if a CNA was "drowning" in their own workload it was difficult to assist another staff member. On 11/15/22 at 9:29 AM Staff 58 (Agency CNA) stated in 7/2022 there were concerns at the facility of long call light wait times. On 11/16/22 at 11:02 AM Staff 46 (Agency CNA) stated in 5/2022 and 6/2022 the facility at times was short staffed and many instances other CNAs were late to work from an hour and a half to three hours, and she was responsible for up to 20 residents until the other CNA arrived to work.

Staff 52 stated it was "impossible" to complete all of the wound care and at times the facility did not have all the proper equipment such as vital sign machines and the correct tubes for blood draws. Staff 52 stated he observed residents sitting in soiled incontinent briefs for "potentially" over an hour and he brought the concerns to the attention of the administration. Staff 52 stated when concerns were brought to administation it was not taken seriously and nothing ever happened. Staff 52 stated the facility was not a safe place to work. On 11/18/22 at 9:34 AM Staff 77 (CNA) stated she wrote grievances on other staff members almost daily for not providing care to the residents in 9/2022.

Staff 4 stated as a nurse she had a hall of residents with no medication aide and then there were multiple admissions and it was not possible to complete quality care. Staff 4 stated no one wanted to come in on their days off to help the facility as it was so stressful and she dreaded coming in and working. On 11/21/22 at 8:14 AM Staff 40 (Former CNA) stated in 4/2022 and 5/2022 she was responsible for up to 30 residents on night shift and sometimes for two separate hallways. Residents complained of long call light wait times, there were a lot of staff who ignored a resident call light and tell other staff they were just in the resident's room so they were not going to go back in. Staff 40 stated when she started her shift it was difficult as the previous shift did not complete incontinent care and she had to provide incontinent care for almost all the residents. Staff 40 stated there were many staff who were neglecting the residents and she reported the concerns to administration but nothing was done. Staff who smoked took smoking breaks when it was not their break times. One nurse smoked and talked with other staff members then tried and do a catch up at the end of his shift.

On 11/22/22 at 8:04 AM Staff 16 (Agency RN) stated the facility needed to adequately staff the facility. Staff 16 stated it was difficult to attempt to administer medications and provide treatments for multiple wings. Staff 16 stated it was not safe for the residents. On day shift the Unit manager or RCM would not come out and assist the nurse with the residents if the facility was short staffed for nurses. In an interview on 11/22/22 at 11:03 AM Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (DNS), Staff 10 (Administrator) and Staff 81 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated the facility followed the State minimum required staffing ratios for CNA staff and the facility staffed to the acuity of the residents.

F835- Administration: CFR(s): 483.70 483.70 Administration. A facility must be administered in a manner that enables it to use its resources effectively and efficiently to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident. 1. Resident effected: Based on the lack of effective systems for ensuring adequate staffing levels and an adequate call light system, the facility administration allegedly failed to utilize its resources effectively and efficiently to ensure all residents attained or maintained their highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. These failures placed residents at risk for delayed care. 2. Identification of Others: All residents have the potential to be affected. Facility is reducing census. Scheduled repair for the call light system to be complete. Rooms with improper functioning call light were moved to a room with a working call light. 3. Systemic Changes: Administrator or designee will educate maintenance on schedule of checking call light system Facility is reducing census to meet staffing ratios. 4. Monitoring: Administrator or designees will review staffing sheets up to 5 x a week, then monthly x 3 about concerns of insufficient staffing. All findings will be reviewed in QAPI until significant compliance is met. Administrator or designees will audit call light times weekly x 4, then monthly x 3. All findings will be reviewed in QAPI until significant compliance is met.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident records were complete and accurate for 3 of 11 sampled residents (#s 7, 13 and 19) reviewed for accurate records, medications and catheters. This placed residents at risk for inaccurate records. Findings include: 1. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in 2021 with diagnoses including respiratory failure and anxiety. A 2/3/22 Care Conference Information report revealed Resident 7 had concerns with the therapist and Resident 7 discussed the concerns with Staff 2 (DNS) on 2/4/22. A 2/7/22 Grievance Communication Form revealed Resident 7 was presented with therapy notes during a care conference on 2/3/22. The notes indicated Resident 7 participated in therapy but the documentation was not correct. It was discussed with Resident 7 an error occurred in the therapy documentation and the documentation was stricken from her/his records. Resident 7 was adamant in knowing the details. Resident 7 was informed the therapy treatment did not occur and the therapy documentation was stricken from her/his record. On 10/15/22 at 10:34 AM Resident 7 stated during the 2/3/22 care conference Staff 24 read therapy notes and Resident 7 told them she/he did not receive the therapy described in the notes. Staff 24 stated it was because she/he had memory loss. Resident 7 stated the therapy notes were a "lie" and she did not receive the therapy and it was not because of memory loss. On 11/1/22 at 10:34 AM Staff 6 (Social Services Director) stated Staff 24 (Director of Rehabilitation) presented the therapy notes in the 2/3/22 care conference. Resident 7 stated she/he did not participate in the therapy services presented in the therapy notes, that she/he was not capable of participating in the therapy services described by Staff 24. On 11/14/22 at 11:41 AM Staff 24 stated in the 2/3/22 care conference she was reading therapy notes to Resident 7. Staff 24 called the therapist and it was determined the therapist wrote someone else's therapy notes on Resident 7's notes. The policy was to erase from the records and it puts a mark through the notes. Staff 24 stated the stricken documentation would totally be removed from the records after a period. No documentation was found in Resident 7's clinical record of the incorrect therapy note documentation. In an interview on 11/22/22 at 10:53 AM Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (DNS), Staff 10 (Administrator) and Staff 81 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated when documentation was incorrectly documented for a resident it was normally stricken from the record, but still visible and labeled as for the wrong resident in error. Staff 2 stated it was the same expectation for therapy documentation. 2. Resident 13 re-admitted to the facility in 9/2022 with diagnoses including e-coli, chest pain and heart attack. An 10/22/22 Medication Error investigation indicated Resident 13 was upset about not receiving her/his daytime medication for the previous two days. Staff 39 (LPN) spoke with the CMA and it was stated the medication was dispensed and placed in the top drawer of the medication cart. The medications were then disposed of during the noon time medications as the CMA on duty did not dispense them. The medications included an antibiotic, and blood pressure medications. Staff 53 (CMA) stated she neglected to get Resident 13's medications and she neglected to notify the nurse. Staff 53 indicated she administered the medications on 10/21/22. A 10/2022 MAR indicated the following medications were administered during the 10/22/22 daytime administrations pass. -7:00-10:00 am Isosorbide Mononitrate (prevent chest pain) for heart attack. -7:00-10:00 am Miralax (treat constipation) for bowel care -7:00-10:00 am Rosuvastatin (lower bad cholesterol) for hyperlipidemia (elevated cholesterol) -7:00-10:00 am Senna (treat constipation) for bowel care -8:00 am Cephalexin (treat infections) for post-surgical infection. On 11/8/22 at 10:24 AM Staff 53 stated she usually documented administered medications in the MAR but did not activate the save function in the electronic record until she observed a resident taking their medications, but she must have activated the save function which then indicated on the MAR Resident 13 received her/his medications. In an interview on 11/22/22 at 11:03 AM Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (DNS), Staff 10 (Administrator) and Staff 81 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated the medications documented on the MAR should have been a part of the investigation as the medications were not administered. Refer to F684 3. Resident 19 was admitted to the facility in 8/2022 with diagnoses including back fracture. An 8/2/22 hospital Discharge orders instructed staff to administer melatonin (short-term treatment for trouble sleeping) three mg every night at bedtime and melatonin five mg at bedtime as needed for sleep. An 8/2022 MAR instructed staff to administer the following: Melatonin Oral three mg at bedtime for sleep was documented as administered on 8/2/22 and 8/3/22 Melatonin Sublingual Lozenge 5 mg lozenge at bedtime for sleep was documented as see nurses notes on 8/2/22 and documented as administered on 8/3/22. An 8/2/22 through 8/3/22 Medication Admin Audit Report indicated the following: -8/2/22 Melatonin Oral three mg at bedtime for sleep was administered at 9:36 PM. Melatonin Sublingual Lozenge 5 mg lozenge at bedtime for sleep was administered at 9:23. - 8/3/22 Melatonin Oral three mg at bedtime for sleep was administered at 9:23 PM. Melatonin Sublingual Lozenge 5 mg lozenge at bedtime for sleep was administered at 9:23 PM. In an interview on 11/22/22 at 11:03 AM and 11/23/22 at 9:33 AM Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (DNS), Staff 10 (Administrator) and Staff 81 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated they wanted to review the information. Staff 2 stated the facility found Melatonin three mg was administered for three days, but the melatonin five mg was not administered because it was not available. For the date it was signed as administered it was an error in documentation as there was no supply of the medication.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive care plans for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#41) reviewed for respiratory care. This placed residents at risk for unmet needs. Findings include: Resident 41 was admitted to the facility in 11/2021 with diagnoses including sleep apnea (a disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep). The current Kardex (staff instructions) and the 1/4/22 care plan instructed staff to ensure CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) settings were 7cm H2O via mask nightly. Neither the Kardex nor the comprehensive care plan addressed the care or monitoring of the resident's oxygen or CPAP equipment needed for Resident 41's oxygen therapy. The most recent signed physician orders dated 12/8/21 revealed no order for the CPAP or care for the equipment. On 1/11/22 at 3:09 PM Staff 2 (DNS) confirmed the comprehensive care plan was not fully developed for Resident 41 in regarding her/his respiratory needs.

F656 Develop/Implement Comprehensive Care Plan CFR(s): 483.21(b)(1) 1. Resident Affected: Resident #41 was assessed head-to-toe to include a respiratory assessment for unmet needs. A comprehensive care plan and Kardex was completed that addresses the care and monitoring of oxygen or CPAP equipment. 2. Other Potential Residents: Current residents with respiratory equipment were assessed head-to-toe to include a respiratory assessment for unmet needs. Residents with respiratory equipment had a comprehensive care plan and Kardex completed that addresses the care and monitoring of respiratory equipment. 3. System Change and Education: Nursing staff were educated on the care and monitoring of respiratory equipment with return demonstration. Licensed nurse staff and the IDT were educated on the care plan process to include requirements for completion of a comprehensive care plan and Kardex for residents with respiratory equipment. In morning clinical meeting, the IDT will review newly admitted residents for unmet respiratory care needs. Residents with respiratory equipment will have their care plan reviewed and updated to include the care and monitoring of respiratory equipment. During morning rounds the Director of Nursing or designee will monitor for maintenance and storage of residents with respiratory equipment. 4. Monitoring: Residents with respiratory equipment will be reviewed utilization of respiratory equipment, a comprehensive care plan and Kardex, and observations for proper care and maintenance of respiratory equipment weekly x 4 weeks, monthly x 4 months and reviewed in monthly QAPI until substantial compliance is met. The Director of Nursing is responsible for compliance. Date of compliance 03/01/2022

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure a resident's respiratory equipment was maintained for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#41) reviewed for respiratory care. This placed residents at risk for respiratory infections. Findings include: Resident 41 was admitted to the facility in 11/2021 with diagnoses including sleep apnea (a disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep) and chronic respiratory failure. The most recent signed physician orders dated 12/8/21 revealed resident 41 utilized oxygen while awake. Resident 41 did not have an order for the CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine. On 1/3/22 at 2:01 PM Resident 41 stated staff did not clean her/his CPAP and she/he did not like to wear the mask because it smelled bad. Resident 41 stated staff did not change her/his oxygen tubing. Random observations on day and evening shifts from 1/4/22 through 1/10/22 revealed resident 41's CPAP mask was on the floor, wrapped around the resident's bed rail or lying in her/his bed. Resident 41's oxygen tubing was also observed on the floor and wrapped around the resident's bedside table.

The freezer, located in the center of the kitchen, had a leaking hose connection which caused water to puddle on the floor by the freezer door. This posed a slip hazard to staff when entering and exiting the freezer and while working in the kitchen. No safety precaution signage was observed near the puddle. On 1/6/22 at 10:16 AM an observation of the kitchen freezer revealed chunks of ice hanging from wires below the fan units attached to the ceiling of the freezer. Staff 22 (Cook) indicated this was the case for a long while. Staff 22 also indicated the large hanging ice chunks dropped off the wires, shattered on the floor and created a slip hazard for staff when they were entering, exiting and working in the freezer. On 1/12/22 at 2:34 PM Staff 26 (DM) indicated she was aware of the problems with the freezer and they were working on getting them repaired. 2. On 1/6/22 at 10:25 AM the kitchen steamer was observed to be leaking from a black rubber drain on the bottom left side of the unit. The leaking water was draining directly onto the top of an oven and the oven's attached electrical box creating a potential issue with electrocution. Staff had placed a metal tray under the steam unit to catch as much water as possible, but the tray was not catching all of the leaking water. The steamer unit also leaked hot water from the central area of the front door. The company who supplied the unit did not provide the necessary drain to catch the water in that location. Additionally, when the door of the steamer was opened hot water dropped from the bottom of the open door directly onto the floor which created a slip hazard. A panel in the door appeared to not fit correctly which increased the amount of water puddling on the floor. On 1/12/22 at 1:37 PM Staff 22 (Cook) indicated the steamer was approximately four months old and still under warranty, but they were told the machine was supposed to leak. Staff 22 said the previous steamer did not leak like the current one. Staff 22 also indicated she/he suffered burns to the hands and forearms from the scalding hot water dripping from the door when it was opened. Staff 22 indicated the freezer and the steamer were not in safe operating condition. On 1/12/22 at 2:34 PM Staff 26 (DM) indicated she was aware of the problems with the steamer and they were working on getting them repaired.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide reasonable accommodations for 3 of 9 sampled resident (#s 8, 15 and 16) reviewed for abuse and resident rights. This placed residents at risk for unmet needs. Findings include: 1. Resident 8 was admitted to the facility in 10/2017 with diagnoses including fibromyalgia (condition of chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain), morbid severe obesity and diabetes. Resident 8's care plan indicated she/he was independent with mobility in the facility by using an electric wheelchair. An 8/24/20 signed letter from the Facility Nurse Practitioner to the facility indicated Resident 8 was to be evaluated for a new electric wheelchair. An 8/24/20 social service progress note revealed social services assisted Resident 8 with paperwork to get a new electric wheelchair. No additional social services notes regarding Resident 8's electric wheelchair were identified until 9/17/21. On 9/9/21 at 3:49 PM Resident 8 stated she/he wanted to be as independent as possible, needed a new electric wheelchair that fit her/his needs and Witness 19 (former SSD) "dropped the ball" on getting her/his new electric wheelchair. On 9/21/21 at 9:36 AM Staff 23 (Director of Rehabilitation) stated she observed Resident 8 to need a new electric wheelchair. An evaluation for Resident 8's new electric wheelchair was completed on 4/19/21.

On 9/22/21 at 4:07 PM Staff 22 (Physical Therapist) confirmed Resident 15 needed the additional space of the private room for therapy and nothing happened with the request. Staff 22 also stated it was brought to the attention of Witness 18. On 9/22/21 at 4:33 PM Staff 8 (CNA) stated Resident 15 was less anxious and able to get sleep after her/his move to a private room in 8/2021. On 9/27/21 at 12:18 PM Staff 23 (Director of Rehabilitation) stated Resident 15 was upset about the room change to a shared room. Staff 23 also stated Resident 15 had a time of recovery after an illness but once ready for therapy advocated for Resident 15 and made her/his needs known at a care conference in 8/2021. On 9/17/21 at 1:15 PM and 9/29/21 at 4:30 PM Staff 1 (Administrator) stated Witness 19 lied to Resident 15 and gave the explanation insurance could not cover the cost when a private room was requested by Resident 15. Staff 1 also stated Resident 15 was moved to a private room as soon as Staff 1 was aware of the request because the facility had empty rooms. Staff 1 confirmed the physical needs of Resident 15 were dismissed. 3. Resident 16 was admitted to the facility in 4/2021 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure and chronic respiratory failure.

The 5/12/21 Admission MDS Assessment indicated the resident required supervision with ambulation. Resident 5's 5/11/21 Care Plan indicated she/he was at moderate risk for falls and required stand by assist of one staff person with ambulation. The fall interventions in place included the use of a front wheel walker for ambulation and non-skid socks when out of bed. Additionally, the ADL area of the care plan indicated the resident required the assist of one staff with toileting. A 5/24/21 Incident Report revealed Resident 5 was assisted to the bathroom by staff and left alone. The resident exited the bathroom without assistance and fell on the floor near her/his bed. The Incident Report did not indicate whether or not the resident's walker was available to her/him or even if she/he used it when the fall occurred. The Fall Investigation related to Resident 5's 5/24/21 fall revealed the following: *The entry which asked if call light was in reach was left blank. *The area of the investigation form which asked which interventions were care planned at the time of the fall only indicated "low bed" which was not in the care plan.
