-Provide respiratory treatments as ordered.-á
-Tracheostomy care each shift and as needed.-á A 2/20/26 Progress Note written by Staff 12 (RN) revealed Resident 62 had a tracheostomy that was intact, and she/he was ""competent with self-directed suctioning with help with trach set ups.""-á Resident 62's 2/24/26 Physician Orders directed the following:
-The resident's laryngectomy tube insertion site was to be cleaned with soap and water or normal saline every day shift and as needed using a clean technique (a set of infection control practices that involve meticulous handwashing, maintaining a clean workspace and using clean, non-sterile gloves).-á
-The resident's stoma was to be cleaned with a saline soaked cotton swab every day and as needed.-á
-The resident's tracheostomy ties (a securement device used to hold a tracheostomy tube securely in place, preventing accidental dislodgement or movement) were to be changed on Mondays, Thursdays and as needed.-á
-The resident's laryngectomy tube (a short, soft, flexible silicone tube inserted into the stoma after a total laryngectomy) could be removed and cleaned with normal saline every two hours as needed but should otherwise stay in place.-á Resident 62's 2/25/26 Self-Administration of Medication Observation Evaluation revealed the resident was determined to be appropriate to complete oral and laryngectomy tube suctioning (procedures used to remove mucus and secretions from the airway through a stoma) independently.-á A review of Resident 62's 3/2026 TAR revealed laryngectomy site care was completed and the resident's stoma was cleaned with a saline soaked cotton swab every day outside of 3/2/26 when the resident refused and on 3/4/26 when the resident was hospitalized. The TAR also revealed the resident's tracheostomy ties were changed on 3/2/26, 3/5/26 and 3/9/26, and-áthe resident's laryngectomy tube was not removed and cleaned. No evidence was found in Resident 62's clinical record to indicate the type or size of the resident's laryngectomy tube.-á On 3/10/26 at 2:12 PM, Resident 62 was observed in her/his room in bed.

A book was observed on top of a pink-stained wash cloth on an overbed table to the right of the resident's bed. The resident placed a free-standing mirror on top of the book and removed her/his tracheostomy tie and the laryngectomy tube. The resident placed the blood-tinged tube on the right side of the overbed table on top of the stained washcloth. The resident used the wipe located inside of the partially opened package that also contained a new laryngectomy tube and quickly wiped her/his stoma. Without performing any hand hygiene, the resident removed the new laryngectomy tube from the partially opened package, inserted it into her/his stoma, and attempted to secure the tracheostomy tie. From 6:39 AM to 6:51 AM, the resident attempted but was unable to re-thread her/his tracheostomy ties, and during this time period, placed the new laryngectomy tube both on her/his lap and on the stained washcloth.

Staff 17 also stated information on the size and type of laryngectomy tubes should be in a resident's physician orders and care plan. Staff 17 stated Resident 62 had not been assessed to complete tracheostomy care independently and no information on the size and type of her/his laryngectomy tube was in either her/his physician orders or care plan.-á On 3/11/26 at 3:24 PM, Staff 12 stated Resident 62 informed him that she/he was able to perform all care related to her/his tracheostomy independently. Staff 12 stated he observed the resident to change out the gauze under her/his tracheostomy tie on 2/20/26, and the resident did not wear gloves or perform hand hygiene prior to completing this care task. Staff 12 stated he had never observed the resident to remove or insert the laryngectomy tube, clean the laryngectomy tube insertion site with soap and water or normal saline or use a cotton swab to clean her/his stoma.-á On 3/11/26 at 1:12 PM and 3:30 PM, Staff 2 (DNS) stated laryngectomy type and size information should be included in a resident's care plan and confirmed this information was not in Resident 62's care plan. Staff 2 stated a resident who wanted to complete tracheostomy care independently was required to complete a return demonstration of the care tasks to a licensed nurse prior to doing so independently. Staff 2 confirmed Resident 62 had not been comprehensive assessed to perform tracheostomy care independently and should have been.-á
Plan of Correction
Resident 62’s medical record was updated to include the size of his laryngectomy tube. He was re-assessed on his ability to perform his own tube care and re-educated on the process. The risks versus benefits were discussed with resident due to poor infection control techniques and he understood the risks. His plan of care was updated to reflect his preferences. Resident is now discharged from the facility
No other residents were affected by this deficient practice
Nursing staff educated to monitor the resident’s ability to do self-care and re-educate as needed and to report any changes in the residents ability to perform the self-care safely. RCMs educated to re-assess residents to perform self-care, and update the plan of care as needed and to include size and type of equipment.
DNS/Designee will do random audits of charts for compliance and residents who do self care weekly x4, monthly x2, or until compliance is achieved . The results of these interviews will be reviewed in QAPI to determine the need for further oversight and intervention.

Findings
Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to reorder a medication in a timely manner resulting in missed medications for 1 of 3 residents (# 7) reviewed for medication administration. This placed residents at risk for increased pain. Findings include:
Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in 5/2022 with diagnoses including chronic pain.
An 11/14/24 Physician Order included 5 mg of oxycodone scheduled to be administered three times a day to assist with pain reduction.
Review of 11/14/24 through 12/15/24 Narcotic Book records for oxycodone revealed Resident 7 did not receive her/his scheduled evening dose on 12/4/24 and scheduled morning dose on 12/5/24.
A 12/2/24 Pharmacy fax stated the pharmacy was unable to dispense the medication because no refill was available and new orders were required to receive Resident 7's oxycodone medication.
Physician orders were placed on 12/4/24 at 9:00 PM to continue Resident 7's oxycodone at 5 mg three times a day to assist with pain reduction.
On 3/19/25 at 12:14 PM Resident 7 stated two doses of her/his scheduled oxycodone was not provided to her/him. Resident 7 stated she/he was told is was not available and the facility needed the provider to write new orders.

Corrected 12/23/2024
Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and services in the area of communication for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#9) reviewed for communication. This placed residents at risk for diminished quality of life and potential decline in their ability to carry out activities of daily living. Findings include:
Resident 9 was admitted to the facility in 10/2019 with diagnoses including hemiparesis (partial weakness on one side of the body) and hemiplegia (complete paralysis on one side of the body) following a stroke affecting the left non-dominant side.
Resident 9's 9/11/24 Annual MDS Assessment indicated the resident was moderately cognitively impaired, experienced moderate difficulty hearing, the resident's preferred language was Vietnamese and she/he wanted an interpreter to communicate with health care staff. The Communication CAA indicated staff who communicated with the resident needed to elevate their voice, face the resident and minimize background noise due to her/his hearing impairment.
Resident 9's 10/2/24 Communication Care Plan revealed the following:
-Language: Vietnamese.
-The resident was mostly non-English speaking. She/he could say certain simple words.
-Telephone interpreter: (503) 535-2151.
-The resident could communicate her/his needs. Use interpreter as needed for medical needs.
-The resident was to have access to cue cards for communication assistance.
On 11/18/24 at 11:32 AM Resident 9 was observed to sit in her/his wheelchair in her/his room. No communication cue cards were observed in the resident's room. The state surveyor communicated with the resident in English, and the resident was able to nod her/his head in response to some basic yes or no questions but was unable to answer specific questions about how long she/he had lived at the facility, the care she/he received at the facility or her/his daily routine.
On 11/18/24 at 11:43 AM, 11/18/24 at 2:42 PM and 11/19/24 at 8:55 AM the state surveyor called the phone number listed in Resident 9's Care Plan for an interpreter. On each occasion, the phone did not ring and the screen on the phone read "user busy."
On 11/19/24 at 3:49 PM Resident 9 was observed in her/his room in bed. No communication cue cards were observed in the resident's room. With the use of the state's translation service, an interview was conducted with the resident in Vietnamese. Resident 9 stated she/he could only speak and understand "a little English" and "the folks here spoke English." Resident 9 stated there was only one staff person she/he was able to communicate with as this staff person spoke Vietnamese. Resident 9 stated she/he was hard of hearing and needed staff to speak slowly and elevate their voice. Resident 9 stated she/he "sometimes" could not hear or understand the "people who take care of me but I pretend to." Resident 9 did not know what a communication cue card was or if she/he had one.
On 11/20/24 at 9:41 AM Staff 23 (CNA) stated Resident 9 primarily spoke Vietnamese, she did "not necessarily use a translation service" when communicating with the resident and she had "never seen cue cards" for the resident.
On 11/20/24 at 9:52 AM Staff 28 stated Resident 9 "did not really speak English." Staff 28 stated she "never used a translator" when communicating with the resident and did not know if the facility had a translation service available. Staff 28 stated she had "never seen a cue board" used with Resident 9. Staff 28 further stated she thought the resident's hearing "was good" and she "just spoke loud when [the resident] couldn't understand."
On 11/20/24 at 11:09 AM Staff 21 (CNA) stated Resident 9 had trouble hearing people with a quieter voice. Staff 21 stated she found information about a resident's hearing impairment and related interventions in the resident's care plan.
On 11/20/24 at 2:38 PM and 3:19 PM Staff 6 (RNCM) stated she "put a picture board" in Resident 9's room "about a month ago" to help with communication but thought the resident's roommate took it shortly after it was provided and it was never replaced. Staff 6 stated the resident experienced difficulty hearing and interventions including "repeating questions, face to face, eliminating loud noises and elevate voice" should be in her/his care plan but were not.
On 11/20/24 at 2:53 PM Staff 2 (DNS) confirmed the phone number for the translation service listed in Resident 9's care plan did not work, the resident's care plan was missing necessary interventions related to her/his hearing impairment and communication cue cards were not available to the resident and should have been.
Plan of Correction
Corrective Action(s) for residents identified to have been affected:
Resident #9 was given communicated cue cards and the interpreter services phone number was updated in the Kardex and careplan.
Identified residents with potential to be affected:
Residents identified to not have English as a primary language and/or hard of hearing are at risk to be affected. An audit was performed to ensure a communication board and interpreter services were updated in the clinical chart.
Measures to prevent recurrence:
Administrator or designee will re-educate IDT on communication methods for residents who do not speak English as a primary language and/or hard of hearing.
Monitor of Corrective Action:
The Administrator or designee will audit 2-3 residents 3 x week for 1 week, 1xweek for 4 weeks and then monthly for 3 months to ensure interventions ae in place for necessary hearing impairment and communication methods. Issues will be reviewed during the monthly QAPI meeting and a Performance Improvement Pan will be developed as necessary.

Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide adequate bathing for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#37) reviewed for ADLs. This placed residents at risk for unmet hygiene needs. Findings include:
Resident 37 was admitted to the facility in 11/2023 with diagnoses including neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (when a person lacks bladder control due to brain, spinal cord or nerve problems).
Resident 37's 8/25/24 Quarterly MDS Assessment indicated the resident was cognitively intact and dependent upon staff assistance for showers/bathing.
Resident 37's 9/23/24 ADL Care Plan revealed the resident was to receive showers on Monday and Friday evenings.
Resident 37's 10/25/24 through 11/18/24 Bathing Task sheet revealed the following:
-10/25/24, Friday: not applicable.
-11/4/24, Monday: resident refused. No documentation was found to indicate the resident was reoffered a shower during the shift, the resident's refusal was reported to the nurse or the resident was reoffered a shower on an alternative shift.
-11/8/24, Friday: not applicable.
-11/11/24, Monday: resident refused. No documentation was found to indicate the resident was reoffered a shower during the shift, the resident's refusal was reported to the nurse or the resident was reoffered a shower on an alternative shift.
-11/18/24, Monday: not applicable.
On 11/18/24 at 12:33 PM Resident 37 was observed in her/his room and sat in her/his wheelchair. Resident 37 stated she/he was "lucky if [she/he] got a shower once every two weeks." Resident 37 stated staff were "always too busy" to assist her/him with a shower on her/his scheduled days and "they don't have time on my off days." Resident 37 stated she/he preferred showers in the afternoons, and on shower days, staff would frequently enter her/his room and "say you can have one right now, right now, without any warning." Resident 37 stated she/he needed time to prepare, and if she/he refused, she/he would not be offered a shower at a different time during the shift. Resident 37 further stated she/he was occasionally told she/he could not shower because the shower was broken.
On 11/20/24 at 4:07 PM Resident 37 stated she/he"told two people today [she/he] wanted a shower and they said they hope I get one." The resident's room was observed to smell of urine and a plastic bag was observed on the floor in the corner of the room. Resident 37 stated the bag was filled with "a draw sheet and wash cloths from last night." Resident 37 stated she/he used the wash cloths to wipe her/his groin area as she/he often felt "moist and sticky" and the wash cloths would be covered in "urine and blood."
On 11/21/24 at 8:15 AM Resident 37 was observed in her/his room and sat in her/his wheelchair. Resident 37 stated she/he did not receive a shower yesterday despite her/his request and stated she/he asked this morning for a shower and was told "we will have to see."
On 11/21/24 at 8:21 AM Staff 23 (CNA) stated CNAs were supposed to offer a resident a shower "more than once" if the resident refused, and if the resident continued to refuse, CNAs were to report the refusals to the nurse, document the refusals and let the next shift know so they could reoffer a shower. Staff 23 stated Resident 37 would wait to the last hour of her shift before agreeing to take a shower and then "I have to tell [her/him] I don't have time."
On 11/21/24 at 9:03 AM Staff 26 (CNA) stated residents were supposed to be reoffered showers two to three times, and if they still refused, CNAs were to inform the nurse. CNAs were responsible for documenting refusals, and if a CNA documented "not applicable," that would indicate the shower was not offered. Staff 26 stated Resident 37 never refused showers when she worked with her/him. Staff 26 further stated other CNAs did not offer Resident 37 a shower until 8:30 PM or 9:00 PM at night because they knew the resident would refuse at those times. Staff 26 stated other CNAs did not offer showers on alternative days so residents had to wait until their next scheduled day to receive a shower.
On 11/21/24 at 9:30 AM Staff 27 (RN) stated Resident 37 preferred to take her/his showers around 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM and "showers were very important" for the resident because she/he "had a lot of folds and could be incontinent in the bed at night."
On 11/21/24 at 12:44 PM Staff 2 (DNS) stated CNAs were expected to reoffer a resident a shower three times during their shift, the nurse was expected to document any continued refusals and the "next shift was to do a PRN shower." Staff 2 reviewed Resident 37's clinical record, stated she did not know if the resident was offered a shower on 10/25/24, 11/8/24 or 11/18/24 and confirmed there was no documentation to indicate the resident was reoffered a shower on 11/4/24 or 11/11/24.

Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to implement interventions to prevent pressure ulcers and skin breakdown for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#37) reviewed for skin conditions. This placed residents at risk for the development of pressure ulcers and skin breakdown. Findings include:
Resident 37 was admitted to the facility in 11/2023 with diagnoses including neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (when a person lacks bladder control due to brain, spinal cord or nerve problems).
Resident 37's 8/25/24 Quarterly MDS Assessment revealed the resident was cognitively intact, at risk to develop pressure ulcers/injuries and to have a pressure reducing device for her/his chair.
Resident 37's 11/2024 Physician Orders directed the resident to receive wound care to her/his right and left thigh rear skin tears twice daily.
On 11/18/24 at 12:33 PM Resident 37 was observed in her/his room and sat on a folded towel in her/his wheelchair. Resident 37 stated she/he experienced skin irritation and breakdown on her/his "bottom area" and she/he did not have a cushion for her/his wheelchair so she/he had to sit on a folded towel instead. Resident 37 stated the wheelchair was uncomfortable and she/he had asked for a cushion many times and but still did not have one.
Random observations of Resident 37 from 11/19/24 to 11/21/24 between 8:15 AM through 4:07 PM revealed the resident to be in bed or in her/his wheelchair. When the resident was observed in her/his wheelchair, she/he sat on a folded towel.
On 11/21/24 at 8:15 AM Resident 37 stated the facility offered her/him a cushion for her/his wheelchair about four months ago but it was too thick, caused her/him to sit up too high in her/his wheelchair and was uncomfortable. Resident 37 stated she/he asked again about receiving a cushion for her/his wheelchair "a few weeks ago" and staff "brought back the same one with a stain." Resident 37 further stated she/he asked about trying a different cushion and was told "they did not know."
On 11/21/24 at 8:21 AM Staff 23 (CNA) stated Resident 37 was supposed to have a cushion when up in her/his wheelchair, and the resident had regular "complaints about [her/his] bottom hurting."

Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and services to prevent further decreases in range of motion for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 9 and 10) reviewed for position and mobility. This placed residents at risk for worsening contractures (a permanent tightening of the muscle, tendons and skin causing the joint to shorten and stiffen) and conditions. Findings include:
The facility's 8/2024 Restorative Nursing Policy and Procedure revealed the following:
-On-going assessment of each resident's functional status occurred no less often than quarterly with completion of the MDS.
-If the Resident Care Manager or licensed staff determined the resident had the ability to improve in one or more area of communication, mobility, range of motion, ADL performance, eating or toileting, a therapy referral or restorative nursing referral was initiated.
-If the resident expressed a desire to improve in one or more area of communication, mobility, range of motion, ADL performance, eating or toileting, a restorative nursing referral was initiated.
-If the Resident Care Manager or licensed staff determined the resident needed to maintain current function in communication, mobility, range of motion, ADL performance, eating or toileting, a restorative nursing referral was initiated.
-The restorative nursing referral documented the resident's current functional status, need to improve or maintain functional status, recommended goals, approaches and plan for periodic re-evaluation of the program. Restorative nursing programs were added to the appropriate nursing care plan and in-room care plan.
-Residents with the need to improve functional status were re-evaluated monthly to determine effectiveness of the current interventions and need to revise goals or interventions.
-Residents with the need to maintain current function status were re-evaluated at least quarterly to determine effectiveness of the current interventions and need to revise goals or interventions.

On 11/20/24 at 9:41 AM Staff 23 (CNA) stated Resident 9 had a brace and a therapy carrot for her/his left hand and the resident put them on and took them off independently. Staff 23 stated she did not know how long each day the resident was supposed to wear the brace or therapy carrot, did not know if the resident had an RA program and stated the resident never refused anything, including to put on her/his therapy carrot or splint when offered.
On 11/20/24 at 9:52 AM Staff 28 (CNA) stated she helped to place the therapy carrot in Resident 9's left hand when the resident asked for assistance and the resident was always cooperative. Staff 28 stated PT was responsible for Resident 9's splint and stated she had "not done any RA tasks" with the resident.
On 11/20/24 at 10:08 AM Staff 29 (LPN) stated therapy was "still working on getting a new splint so [the resident] did not have one right now." Staff 29 stated he thought Staff 21 (CNA) was responsible for Resident 9's RA program but thought other CNAs could also help.
On 11/20/24 at 10:16 AM Staff 30 (Director of Rehab) stated Resident 9 was seen by OT from 9/17/24 and 10/24/24 for left hand contracture management.

Staff 6 reviewed the resident's order for the continuous use of the left palm protector and stated she "was not sure when [the resident] should have the palm protector on." Staff 6 reviewed Resident 6's RA tasks and stated she did not know if the RA was offered to the resident when "no" or "not applicable" was documented.
On 11/20/24 at 2:53 PM Staff 2 (DNS) stated Resident 9's order for the continuous use of the left palm protector needed clarification and staff were to assist the resident to place her/his therapy carrot daily and reoffer to place it if it was observed hanging out of her/his hand. Staff 2 further stated it was unclear from the documentation if the resident was offered RA as indicated.
2. Resident 10 was readmitted to the facility in 11/2023 with diagnoses including dementia.

No evidence was found in Resident 10's clinical record to indicate the resident's left upper extremity contractures were comprehensively assessed, ongoing monitoring of her/his contractures was being provided or any support or exercises were being provided to maintain or improve the resident's range of motion/mobility or to prevent further declines. No rationale was found as to why range of motion services were not being provided.
On 11/18/24 at 12:08 PM Resident 10 was observed in her/his room in her/his geri chair (a large, padded and wheeled chair designed to help people with limited mobility). Resident 10's fingers and thumb on her/his left hand were observed to curl in towards the palm of her/his hand. Resident 10 stated the facility did not "do anything" for her/his left hand and did "not think they even knew about" her/his contractures. Resident 10 stated she did not participate in any range of motion exercises for her/his left hand, she/he did not have a therapy carrot (a device that helps position hands with severe contractures), splint or brace for her/his left hand and she/he was willing to try anything that could help.
On 11/21/24 at 8:12 AM Resident 10 stated her/his left hand "hurt sometimes" and she/he was not able to straighten out her/his fingers or thumb on her/his left hand.
On 11/21/24 at 8:31 AM Staff 23 (CNA) stated Resident 10 did not have "movement in the left side of [her/his] body." Staff 23 stated the resident did not have an RA program, she had never seen the resident use a carrot, splint or brace for her/his left hand and the only assignment she had related to the resident's left hand was to "scrub" it.
On 11/21/24 at 9:15 AM Staff 26 (CNA) stated Resident 10's left hand contractures had gotten "worse over the years" and "nothing recent was being done for [her/his] hand."
On 11/21/24 at 9:39 AM Staff 27 (RN) stated she was not aware of "any RA program for [Resident 10's] upper extremities," and she had seen the resident "use a carrot once or twice."
On 11/21/24 at 9:44 AM Staff 30 (Director of Rehab) stated she had not received a referral for Resident 10 to be seen for her/his left-sided weakness.
On 11/21/24 at 11:06 AM Staff 4 (LPN-Care Manager) stated a resident's physician and therapy was to be notified if a resident's contracture was observed to worsen, and residents with contractures should have a care plan related to their contractures. Staff 4 stated there was no documentation to indicate Resident 10's contractures were assessed or being monitored and the resident did not have a care plan related to the management of her/his upper extremity contractures.
On 11/21/24 at 11:18 Staff 2 (DNS) reviewed Resident 10's clinical record and confirmed the resident's contractures lacked assessment and care planning and stated the resident's contractures "should have been evaluated already by therapy."
Plan of Correction
Corrective Action(s) for residents identified to have been affected:
Resident 10 contractors were properly assessed and care plan created for an upper extremity contracture management program.
Resident 9 was evaluated by the therapy department for a left-hand splint/brace that fit properly to actively participate in the restorative aid program and careplan was updated
Identified residents with potential to be affected:
Residents with limited range of motion are at risk for decreased ROM/Mobility. An audit will be performed of at risk residents and corrected as necessary.
Measures to prevent recurrence:
The DNS or designee will re-educate the LN and CNA staff on the importance of preventing decreased range of motion/mobility for residents as well as ensuring residents are receiving appropriate services, equipment and assistance to prevent further reduction.
Monitor of Corrective Action:
The Administrator or designee will 2-3 resident charts with decreased ROM/mobility 3 x week for 1 week, 1xweek for 4 weeks and then monthly for 3 months to the appropriate treatments are in place as well as careplan being followed. Issues will be reviewed during the monthly QAPI meeting and a Performance Improvement Pan will be developed as necessary.

F0699 Trauma Informed Care Severity 2 ▼
Visit 1 · 11/22/2024
Corrected 12/23/2024
Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents who were trauma survivors received trauma-informed care for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#62) reviewed for mood. This placed residents at risk for re-traumatization and decreased quality of life. Findings include:
The facility's 8/2024 Trauma-Informed Care Policy and Procedure revealed the following:
-The facility screened newly admitted residents for indications of trauma as part of the comprehensive care plan process.
-The facility developed an appropriate plan of care and interventions based upon the screening responses and observations of the resident.
-The facility avoided re-traumatization that may be experienced due to repeated interviews regarding trauma history. The facility observed the resident for changes in behavior or mood that may indicate a need to modify the plan of care, quarterly.
Resident 62 was admitted to the facility in 9/2024 with diagnoses including Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, a disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event and with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions) and stimulant abuse (the continued use of amphetamine-type substances, cocaine or other stimulants that lead to clinically significant impairment or distress).
Resident 62's 9/29/24 Hospital History and Physical records revealed the following:
-The resident was involved in a motor vehicle accident in 2021 which resulted in paraplegia (the inability to voluntarily move the lower parts of the body).
-The resident reported being awake during the entirety of this event during which she/he tried to keep a child alive who died on the scene before emergency medical services arrived.
-The resident experienced PTSD/panic symptoms related to this event.
-The resident reported night terrors every night since this event in which she/he re-enacted the traumatic event in her/his dreams.
-The resident reported regular panic attacks which were triggered by being alone.
-The resident had a methamphetamine use disorder, and pain and her/his family's home were triggers for substance abuse.
-The resident did not want to discharge to a long-term care facility because these types of facilities reminded the resident of being in a correctional facility and she/he would rather discharge to the streets.
Resident 62's 9/30/24 Baseline Care Plan indicated the resident had a known or reported trauma history, received an antidepressant related to her/his diagnosis of PTSD, the medication worked "okay" and she/he had not had any symptoms of PTSD.
Resident 62's 10/8/24 Social History Assessment indicated the resident had a diagnosis of PTSD and did not exhibit any behaviors related to this diagnosis.
Resident 62's 10/18/24 Admission MDS Assessment indicated the resident was cognitively intact.
Resident 62's 11/6/24 Psychosocial-Emotional/Trauma Care Plan revealed the following:
-Encourage the resident to express emotions.
-Assist to normalize feelings.
-Attempt non-pharmacological approaches as indicated such as music therapy, breathing exercises, talking to the resident about her/his feelings, meditation, aroma therapy, reading materials and offering preferred activities.
-Evaluate non-verbal cues to assess the degree and severity of pain for pain management.
-PTSD triggers include nightmares. Intervention included to wake the resident and reorient to help her/him to get out of the nightmare.
Resident 62's 11/2024 MARs revealed the resident received hydroxyzine (an antihistamine used to help control anxiety and tension caused by nervous and emotional conditions) PRN for anxiety on 11/19/24.
No evidence was found in Resident 62's clinical record to indicate a care plan for her/his PTSD was developed until 11/6/24, 38 days after the resident admitted to the facility, the resident was asked specific questions related to triggers of her/his traumas, the resident's hospital records were reviewed to help to develop a person-centered trauma care plan, additional staff or relevant family members were offered the opportunity to provide information about the resident's traumas and potential triggers, possible triggers related to the resident's history of incarceration or substance use disorder were considered or why the resident received a PRN medication for anxiety on 11/19/24.
On 11/22/24 at 9:50 AM Resident 62 was observed to sit in her/his bed with the privacy curtain pulled and the blinds closed. Resident 62 stated she/he experienced anxiety related to her/his PTSD and a lot of "little things" triggered her/his anxiety, including "hearing a car crash or sirens, doors slamming, people yelling, a loud environment, other residents falling or needing help, being stressed and homeless people asking for a hit of [her/his] vape pen (a battery-operated vaping device) when outside smoking." Resident 62 stated she/he barely watched television because her/his PTSD was triggered by various television shows. Resident 62 stated "the guys across the hallway were hard of hearing so their televisions were up loud," and when this happened, the resident put her/his "head under a pillow or blanket" because there was nothing else she/he could do. Resident 62 stated she/he wanted to discharge to "a normal environment" where it was not so loud. Resident 62 stated Staff 2 (DNS) spoke with her/him briefly about her/his PTSD but she/he had not spoken with anyone at the facility in-depth about potential triggers for re-traumatization. Resident 62 stated she/he had nightmares about her/his "car wreck" every night and she/he fell out of bed once in 10/2024 "trying to run from [her/his] dream." Resident 62 stated she/he was provided with a larger bed after this incident but the facility had otherwise done nothing to help her/him with her/his nightmares. Resident 62 stated she/he had never been woken up by staff from a dream which was her/his preference if she/he was observed to talk in her/his sleep or was hunched over because this meant she/he "was either trying to run from something or hold [her/his] body," and staff had never offered to talk with her/him about her/his nightmares or to assist with any breathing exercises to help her/his anxiety. Resident 62 further stated she/he had an anxiety attack on 11/19/24 when she/he woke up and there were "a lot of people" in her/his room assisting her/his roommate and it was "really loud." Resident 62 stated she/he felt like she/he "had to get out of the room because there were people everywhere."
On 11/22/24 at 10:30 AM Staff 23 (CNA) stated "a lot of people" in the room, vehicles and "erratic drivers hitting the breaks a lot" triggered Resident 62's anxiety. Staff 23 stated Resident 62's care plan did not list any triggers related to her/his PTSD or anxiety but she had learned some of the resident's triggers by talking with her/him.
On 11/22/24 at 10:48 AM Staff 18 (LVN/LPN) stated cars and car accidents triggered Resident 62's anxiety and the resident experienced nightmares about the car accident she/he was involved in. Staff 18 stated she gave the resident a PRN medication for anxiety on 11/19/24 because the resident stated she/he felt "really anxious" but did not have any additional details about cause of the resident's anxiety.
On 11/22/24 at 11:24 AM Staff 7 (Social Services Director) stated she interviewed Resident 62 on her/his day of admission to the facility about her/his PTSD and possible triggers, and the resident told her "confrontation was an issue." Staff 7 stated she had not interviewed the resident about her/his PTSD since admission, did not add confrontation as a trigger for anxiety to the resident's care plan, did not review the resident's clinical record in order to understand other additional triggers of her/his PTSD or ask the resident about other specific potential triggers given her/his history of traumas, including about the environment at the nursing facility. Staff 7 further stated she was not aware the resident experienced nightly night terrors and was not aware she/he experienced an anxiety attack on 11/19/24.
On 11/22/24 at 11:51 AM Staff 2 (DNS) confirmed Resident 62's care plan to address her/his PTSD was not developed until 11/6/24 and after the resident experienced a fall out of bed, and the resident's care plan was not comprehensive. Staff 2 further stated she was not aware the resident experienced an anxiety attack on 11/19/24.
Plan of Correction
Corrective Action(s) for residents identified to have been affected:
Resident 62 careplan was updated to reflect person centered trauma informed care, triggers and interventions to avoid re-traumatizing experiences.
Identified residents with potential to be affected:
Residents with a past trauma history are at risk of being affected. An audit will be performed of at risk residents and corrected as necessary.
Measures to prevent recurrence:
The Administrator or designee will re-educate the social services department on trauma informed care planning, as well as being person centered involving triggers and interventions
Monitor of Corrective Action:
The Administrator or designee will audit 1-2 resident charts 3 x week for 1 week, 1xweek for 4 weeks and then monthly for 3 months to ensure person centered trauma informed care plans are being created along with triggers and interventions. Issues will be reviewed during the monthly QAPI meeting and a Performance Improvement Pan will be developed as necessary.

-Encourage the resident to express emotions.
-Assist to normalize feelings.
-Attempt non-pharmacological approaches as indicated such as music therapy, breathing exercises, talking to the resident about her/his feelings, meditation, aroma therapy, reading materials and offering preferred activities.
-Evaluate non-verbal cues to assess the degree and severity of pain for pain management.
-PTSD triggers included nightmares and the resident was to be woken up and reoriented to help her/him to get out of the nightmare.
Resident 62's 11/18/24 Behavior Care Plan revealed the following:
-Focused behaviors included yelling, crying, verbal outbursts, constant fidgeting and refusing care.
-Interventions included redirection, reminding the resident yelling was not okay, one-to-one conversations, re-approach and music of own choosing.
Resident 62's 11/2024 MARs revealed the resident received hydroxyzine (an antihistamine used to help control anxiety and tension caused by nervous and emotional conditions) PRN for anxiety on 11/19/24.
No evidence was found in Resident 62's clinical record to indicate the resident was offered the opportunity to receive mental health services or to participate in NA meetings, assistance with obtaining the Affect App, a person-centered care plan was developed to address Resident 62's potential mood symptoms or why the resident received a PRN medication for anxiety on 11/19/24.
On 11/22/24 at 9:50 AM Resident 62 was observed to sit in her/his bed with the privacy curtain pulled and the blinds closed. Resident 62 stated she/he had not been offered any counseling, group, peer or therapy services since she/he admitted to the facility and was interested in all of these services as she/he thought "they would help to relieve stress and talk it out." Resident 62 stated the facility's social worker "won't talk to or help [her/him]" and the facility "does nothing" for her/his PTSD and anxiety outside of giving her/him medications.
On 11/22/24 at 10:48 AM Staff 18 (LVN/LPN) stated she gave Resident 62 a PRN medication for anxiety on 11/19/24 because the resident stated she/he felt "really anxious" but did not have any additional details about the cause of the resident's anxiety.
On 11/22/24 at 11:24 AM Staff 7 (Social Services Director) stated Resident 62's behavior care plan was not person-centered as the resident did not yell, cry, have outbursts, fidget or refuse care and reminding the resident not to yell was an inappropriate intervention for this resident.

Visit 1 · 11/22/2024
Corrected 12/23/2024
Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to accommodate resident food choices for 1 of 7 sampled residents (#37) reviewed for food. This placed residents at risk for food choices not being honored. Findings include:
Resident 37 was admitted to the facility in 11/2023 with diagnoses including neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (when a person lacks bladder control due to brain, spinal cord or nerve problems).
Resident 37's 11/22/23 Food and Nutrition Admission Interview revealed the resident normally ate oatmeal for breakfast and requested a salad with meals. The Interview also indicated the resident did not like peas, green beans, pepper, raisin bread or raisins.
Resident 37's 8/25/24 Quarterly MDS Assessment revealed the resident was cognitively intact and on a therapeutic diet.
Resident 37's 11/11/24 Nutrition At Risk Evaluation revealed the resident received a regular texture diet with small starch portions and sodium limited to two grams. The resident was to receive a salad with lunch and dinner.
On 11/18/24 at 1:31 PM Resident 37 was observed in her/his room and sat in her/his wheelchair. The resident's lunch tray sat on top of her/his bed. Resident 37 removed the lid that covered the plate and revealed her/his lunch of garlic bread, pasta with meat sauce and green beans. Resident 37 stated she/he would not touch her/his lunch because she/he did not like green beans and the green beans touched the other food items on her/his plate. Resident 37 stated she/he was served items she/he disliked "again and again." No salad was observed on the resident's meal tray. Resident 37 handed the state surveyor her/his meal ticket from the lunch tray which indicated the following:
-The resident disliked gravies, gravy on meat, sugar free juice, scrambled eggs, green beans, peas and raisin bread.
-No salt packs were to be placed on the resident's tray.
On 11/19/24 at 12:43 PM Resident 37 was observed in her/his room and sat in her/his wheelchair. The resident's lunch tray with a salt packet sat on top of the resident's bed. Resident 37 removed the lid that covered the plate and revealed meat and potatoes covered in gravy. Resident 37 stated she/he was not going to eat her/his lunch because it was covered in gravy and she/he did not like gravy. No salad was observed on the resident's meal tray.
On 11/20/24 at 12:24 PM Staff 25 (Cook) was observed to plate Resident 37's lunch. Staff 25 used a spoon with holes to drain the mushroom gravy from the beef and placed the strained beef on top of a plate of rice and carrots. Staff 25 stated he intended to serve Resident 37 the beef even though it was coated in gravy because he did not want to give Resident 37 "dry meat" and wanted her/him "to have flavor." Staff 25 further stated the resident could come back to the kitchen and get something else if she/he did not like the beef.
On 11/20/24 at 12:36 PM Staff 15 (Dietary Director) reviewed Resident 37's meal ticket, stated the resident did not like gravy and she/he should have not been served the beef coated in gravy. Staff 15 further stated he expected the cooks to follow resident preferences.
On 11/20/24 at 12:58 PM Resident 37 stated she/he did not want to eat lunch because "it looked like gravy."
On 11/20/24 at 1:13 PM Staff 1 (Administrator) acknowledged the findings and did not offer any additional information.
Plan of Correction
Corrective Action(s) for residents identified to have been affected:
Resident 37 tray card ticket was reviewed with dietary manager to update to reflect food preferences.
Identified residents with potential to be affected:
Residents with allergies, intolerances and preference are at risk of being affected. An audit will be performed of at risk residents and corrected as necessary.
Measures to prevent recurrence:
The Administrator or designee will re-educate the dietary department on the importance of following resident meal tickets in regards to food preferences.
Monitor of Corrective Action:
The Administrator or designee will audit meal pass weekly x4, monthly x2, or until compliance is achieved. Issues will be reviewed during the monthly QAPI meeting and a Performance Improvement Pan will be developed as necessary.

F0812 Food Procurement,Store/Prepare/Serve-Sanitary Severity 2 ▼
Visit 1 · 11/22/2024
Corrected 12/23/2024
Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to maintain sanitary equipment to prevent the unintended presence of potentially harmful substances, label and store food appropriately or handle and prepare food in a sanitary manner for 1 of 1 ice machine, 1 of 1 mobile ice carts and 1 of 1 kitchen reviewed for dining services. This placed residents at risk of illness and contaminated food. Finding include:
In the dining room on 11/18/24 at 12:25 PM Staff 21 (CNA) was observed to scoop ice from the large ice machine into the mobile ice cart chest. Staff 21 used the ice scoop located to the left of the ice machine, mounted on the wall and contained in a black container. Staff 21 was then observed to use an ice scoop, stored in a white mesh bag on the mobile ice cart, to place ice into a cup. The white mesh bag had a black substance on the bottom of the bag about the size of a playing card.
On 11/18/24 at 12:28 PM Staff 21 stated they did not know if the white mesh bag to hold the scoop was clean or not, but it appeared to have mold growth on the bag.
On 11/18/24 at 12:32 PM Staff 2 (DNS) stated they would expect the ice scoop to be contained in a clean environment. Staff 2 and surveyor approached Staff 21 with the mobile ice cart. Staff 21 stated the white mesh bag for the mobile ice cart scoop was thrown away.
On 11/18/24 at 12:36 PM Staff 11 (Maintenance Director) confirmed the white mesh bag for the mobile ice cart scoop was thrown away because it was "nasty."
On 11/18/24 at 12:37 PM the surveyor used a white paper towel to wipe the bottom inside of the black ice machine scoop holder mounted on the wall left of the ice machine. The paper towel came out with a black flack debris which felt slimy.
On 11/18/24 at 12:40 PM Staff 14 (Housekeeping Supervisor) stated the housekeeping department was responsible to clean the ice scoop and its container to the left of the ice machine. Staff 14 placed a cloth rag into the container and wiped the bottom. Staff 14 confirmed the container was not clean and they were unsure exactly how often it was cleaned.
On 11/18/24 at 1:45 PM Staff 1 (Administrator) acknowledged this finding and confirmed they expected both ice scoop containers to be clean.
,

On 11/18/24 at 10:00 AM during the initial tour of the facility's kitchen, the following were observed in the facility's walk-in freezer:
-a large chunk of ice attached to a pipe in the back of the freezer hung down and was positioned above an open box of corn. The box contained many chunks of ice that appeared to have broken off from the ice chunk that hung above;
-a bag of freezer burned asparagus; and
-an open bag of bratwurst.
On 11/18/24 at 9:52 AM Staff 15 (Dietary Director) stated all of the opened and undated, expired and freezer burned food items should be thrown out. On 11/20/24 at 11:12 AM Staff 15 stated the items with an expiration date that was unable to be determined needed to be removed from the shelf in the dry storage.
On 11/20/24 between 11:55 AM and 12:30 PM during a return visit to the kitchen the following was observed during the lunch tray line service:
-At 11:55 AM Staff 25 (Cook) was observed to plate resident meal trays and wore gloves. At 11:57 AM Staff 25 opened a drawer in the kitchen, removed two utensils and resumed plating resident meal trays. Staff 25 did not change his gloves after he touched the kitchen drawer.
-At 12:06 PM Staff 25 wore the same pair of gloves and opened the door to the facility's freezer, retrieved a salad and a sandwich, removed the sandwich from the bag, placed the sandwich on a plate and resumed plating resident meal trays. Staff 25 did not change his gloves after he touched the door handle to the freezer.
-At 12:10 PM Staff 25 wore the same pair of gloves and opened the door to the facility's freezer and retrieved another sandwich. The state surveyor asked Staff 25 at this time about when he was expected to change his gloves to which Staff 25 stated he changed his gloves when he "touched the doors." Staff 25 did not change his gloves and continued to plate resident meal trays.
On 11/20/24 at 12:36 PM Staff 15 stated staff were expected to change their gloves between tasks.
Plan of Correction
Corrective Action(s) for residents identified to have been affected:
No residents were identified to be affected by failed maintenance of the black container or white mesh bag that the ice scoops were stored in, or the staff member not changing their gloves after completely another task.
The outdated and freezer burn food was thrown away and ice build up repaired.
Identified residents with potential to be affected:
The Administrator, dietary manager or designee will audit the cleanliness of the black ice scoop container on the wall in the LTC dining room and the white mesh bag on the rolling cooler.

Findings
Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure cognitively impaired residents did not have access to excessively hot liquids for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#2) reviewed accidents and hazards. This failure resulted in Resident 1 sustaining a second-degree burn (partial thickness involving the first two layers of skin) to her/his thigh. Findings include:
Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 9/2022 with diagnoses including diabetes.
A 11/13/23 progress note indicated Staff 9 (Agency CNA) notified Staff 2 (LPN) that Resident 2 spilled hot coffee on her/his lap.
A 11/13/23 facility investigation revealed nursing staff took the coffee cart out of the kitchen prior to the coffee cooling to a safe temperature. Resident 2 was provided with coffee that was too hot (above 155 degrees). The resident was found by Staff 9 after she/he spilled the coffee in her/his lap.
A 11/23/23 progress note indicated Resident 2 was assessed to have a second degree burn described as a large area of reddened skin noted to the right lateral thigh with several ruptured blisters with clear fluid drainage. The resident reported pain.

Corrected 9/11/2023
Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to perform proper infection control practices for medical equipment and hand hygiene for 1 of 1 nurse reviewed during med pass. This placed residents at risk for infection and cross contamination. Findings include:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Best Practices for Assisted Blood Glucose Monitoring and Insulin Administration include:
-Wear gloves during blood glucose monitoring and during any other procedure that involves potential exposure to blood or body fluids.
-Perform hand hygiene immediately after removal of gloves and before touching other medical supplies intended for use on other persons.
CDC's Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities (2008)
Medical equipment surfaces can become contaminated with infectious agents and contribute to the spread of health-care-associated infections. Noncritical medical equipment surfaces should be disinfected with an EPA-registered low- or intermediate-level disinfectant. Environmental surfaces (e.g., bedside table, medication carts) also could potentially contribute to cross-transmission by contamination of health-care personnel from hand contact with contaminated surfaces, medical equipment, or patients.
The CDC's definition of Standard Precautions:
In order to perform hand hygiene appropriately, soap, water, alcohol based hand rub, and a sink should be readily accessible in appropriate locations including but not limited to resident care areas, and food and medication preparation areas. Staff must perform hand hygiene (even if gloves are used):
-Before and after contact with the resident;
-Before performing an aseptic task;
-After contact with blood, body fluids, visibly contaminated surfaces or after contact with objects in the resident's room;
-After removing personal protective equipment (e.g., gloves, gown, facemask);
-After using the restroom; and
-Before meals.

Findings
Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to monitor and assess Resident 7 after a fall and failed to recognize and treat a change of condition for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#7) reviewed for medications. This failure was determined to be an immediate jeopardy situation because the facility failed to recognize a change of condition which likely resulted in Resident 7's severe health status change and hospitalization. Findings include:
The facility's Accident/Incident Policy and Procedure, revised 10/2022, directed staff to complete an incident investigation was to be completed for the following reasons but not limited to: falls with or with out injury, witnessed or unwitnessed; medication errors - if there was a negative effect on the resident or potential risk of harm. Incident reports were to be completed by the charge nurse at the time of the incident.
Resident 7 admitted to the facility on 12/30/22 with diagnosis including convulsions (sudden, violent, irregular movement of limb or body).
Resident 7's 12/30/22 Physician Order directed staff to administer medications, which included the following:
-clobazam (sedative to treat convulsions), 10 mg tablet, two times a day for convulsions.
-divalproex sodium extended release of 24 hours (anticonvulsant), 750 mg, two times a day for convulsions.
Record review of the 12/30/22 through 1/2/23 MARs revealed Resident 7 was not administered her/his clobazam five times and divalproex sodium two times.
Resident 7's 12/30/22 Admission Nursing Database Assessment indicated she/he was alert, orient to person, place and time and confused. Resident 7 had clear speech with the ability to express ideas and wants.
A progress note on 1/2/23 at 1:47 AM by Staff 6 (LPN) revealed on 1/1/23 at 6:20 PM during the nurse hand over shift meeting, he received communication from Staff 5 (RN) that Resident 7 experienced an unwitnessed fall at 4:45 PM. Resident 7 was non-responsive for about 20 minutes. The resident later woke up and started to talk. Neuro checks (neurological and motor skill assessments) were in place. As the night unfolded, she/he was alert, oriented to self and situation, hand grips were moderately strong, pupils reactive, and vital signs taken. Her/his lungs were clear, and no shortness of breath observed. Resident 7 was able to communicate her/his needs. On 1/2/23 at 12:30 AM the CNA assigned to Resident 7's room yelled for help. Staff 6 rushed to the room and found Resident 7 lying on the bed non-responsive as foam came out of her/his mouth. Staff extended her/his neck to open the airway, started CPR, Staff 6 asked one of the CNAs to call 911 and a second nurse to bring the crash cart (emergency life sustaining equipment). Staff suctioned the resident while two people continued CPR. Ten minutes later a team six (emergency) medical personnel arrived and took over Resident 7's care. CPR continued for another fifteen minutes as the IV medication ran and then transferred Resident 7 to the hospital.
On 1/2/23 at 5:02 AM Staff 5 initiated an incident fall form for Resident 7 for the fall on 1/1/23 at 4:45 PM. The 5:07 AM progress notes was linked to the report which stated the CNA went to room to help roommate, Resident 7 self-transferred to the bathroom and the CNA heard the fall. The CNA alerted this nurse and assisted Resident 7 back to bed. Neuro checks initiated, PERRLA (pupils equal, round, reactive to light and accommodation), grips equal (hand grips), and feet push and pull were equal.
On 1/9/23 an investigation by Staff 1 (Administrator) concluded Resident 7 missed five doses of clobazam and two doses of divalproex sodium between 12/30/22 through 1/1/23. The investigation indicated Resident 7 had an unwitnessed fall on 1/1/23 at 6:20 PM and on 1/2/23 at 12:30 AM. Included was a witness statement from Staff 5 completed on 1/8/23. The investigation was focused on the missed medication and not the fall which occurred on 1/1/23 at 4:45 PM.
Record review of the Nero check form indicated neuro checks were initiated on 1/1/23 at 4:45 PM. The form directed staff to complete assessments every 15 minutes for four times, then every 30 minutes for four times, then every hour for four times, then every four hours for four times and then every shift for 72 hours. The Neuro check form indicated several blood pressure measurements out of range, as high as 197/95 (normal range for Resident 7 should have been close to 139/68) at 6:00 PM. The form ended with neuro check information at 8:30 PM. No further neuro checks were documented as completed.
Record review did not have any additional assessments of Resident 7 or attempts to notify the medical provider for altered mental status after the fall on 1/1/23 at 4:45 PM. The incident report was initiated the following day, after Resident 7 discharged.
Review of Resident 7's medical record revealed no evidence of comprehensive nursing assessments, identification of potential harm or risks related to the significant medication errors at the time of the incidents.
Hospital Records dated 1/2/23 revealed Resident 7 was found unresponsive at the facility. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) reported the resident was asystole (heart stopped beating) when they arrived at the facility. EMS intubated the resident and brought her/him to the emergency department (ED). Multiple ED notes indicated Resident 7 received ongoing treatments and tests to rule out the cardiac failure. [There were no notes indicating the hospital was aware the resident missed several doses of seizure medications.]

Staff 5 stated he called the on-call doctor and did not get a return call. He stated he was unsure if he had notified the doctor Resident 7 missed doses of the medications prescribed for convulsions. Staff 5 was unsure if the resident hit her/his head during the unwitnessed fall. Staff 5 acknowledged he could send a resident to the hospital if it was urgent, without a doctors order.
On 4/9/23 at 4:37 PM Staff 6 confirmed Resident 7 missed doses of clobazam and divalproex sodium. Staff 6 confirmed his progress note on 1/2/23 and the statement that Resident 7 was unresponsive for 20 minutes after the fall and stated the resident was out of it mentally. No contact with the physician was made during his shift and no additional assessments were completed.

Staff 8 stated she reported her observations of the resident's changes to the charge nurse through out her shift until 10:00 PM. Staff 8 stated the charge nurse replied to her that he did not know the resident and her/his baseline.
On 4/10/23 at 1:06 PM Staff 2 (DNS) stated she expected if a resident had an unwitnessed fall or if it was known the resident hit their head, then neuro checks would be initiated, and completed as it states on the form for the timelines. Staff 2 expected alert charting every shift after a fall and if the resident experienced a change of mental status, call the doctor to report the change and send the resident out to the hospital if they were unable to get direction from the doctor about the change of condition.
On 4/10/23 at 4:20 PM the facility was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation and an immediacy removal plan was requested.
On 4/10/23 at 6:08 PM the facility submitted an acceptable immediacy removal plan which would abate the IJ situation.
The immediacy removal plan included the following:
-Resident 7 no longer in the facility.
-Review residents in the last week by 4/10/23 with a change of condition for appropriate assessment/monitoring/notification.
-Educate nurses on Change of Condition monitoring to include comprehensive assessment, monitoring and notification of medical provider. If there is no response from on call physician, the Medical Director will be contacted directly.
-Audit resident within system for change of condition for assessment, monitoring and notification daily for one week, weekly for three weeks and monthly for three months.
-Results of the audits would be reviewed by the QAPI (Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement) team for further review.
On 4/11/23 staff interviews verified re-education per the immediacy removal plan was competed. A review of facility documentation revealed all aspects of the immediacy removal plan was implemented.
On 4/11/23 at 10:21 AM it was determined the IJ immediacy was removed.
, 2. Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide wound care monitoring and treatment for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#18) reviewed for wound VAC's (Vacuum Assisted Closure of a wound). This placed residents at risk of worsening of wounds. Findings include:
Resident 18 admitted to the facility on 1/7/22 with diagnoses including right toe cellulitis (skin infection), cutaneous (skin) abscess of right foot and diabetes.
The 1/7/22 Admission Database (nursing assessment) revealed Resident 18 had a wound VAC to the right lower extremity.
The 1/7/22 Admission orders did not include wound VAC care, monitoring and treatment orders.
The 1/7/22 Hospital Records revealed Resident 18 had a surgical right foot wound debridement to the bone and used negative pressure wound therapy. The wound VAC was maintained at 125 mmHg (mm of mercury).
The 1/10/22 Skin Wound Evaluation indicated it was the first assessment of the wound.
The January 2022 TARs revealed no wound VAC care, monitoring or treatment was in place until 1/10/22.
The 2/6/22 Facility Investigation indicated the nurses neglected to ensure the wound VAC functioned properly the first two days of admission to the facility.
The 2/9/22 facility documentation revealed the resident was admitted on Friday evening (1/7/22) with orders for a wound VAC. The dressing was observed by the admitting RN who assumed the dressing was attached to the VAC. The documentation further revealed no nurse checked to ensure the VAC was set up correctly and functioned properly until day shift on the following Monday (1/10/22).
On 4/14/23 at 9:05 AM Staff 1 (Administrator) verifed Resident 18 did not have wound VAC orders on admission and the wound VAC was not properly monitored or cared for until 1/10/22.

Corrected 5/16/2023
Findings
Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to comprehensively assess pressure ulcers upon admission and readmission to the facility for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 2 and 13) reviewed for pressure ulcers. This placed residents at risk for a delay in wound treatment. Findings include:
1. Resident 2 admitted to the facility in 2022 with diagnoses including Stage IV Cancer.
a. The 1/21/23 Progress Note revealed Resident 2 had an 8 cm round open area to the left buttock. Both Resident 2's family and physician were informed.
The 1/25/23 initial wound consultant evaluation revealed Resident 2 had a left medial buttock Stage III pressure ulcer (full-thickness loss of skin).
Review of Resident 2's medical record revealed Resident 2 did not have a comprehensive pressure ulcer assessment completed from the time it was first observed on 1/21/23 until the 1/25/23 wound consultant visit.
On 4/11/23 at 12:44 PM Staff 2 (DNS) verified the pressure ulcer identified on 1/21/22 was not comprehensively assessed until 1/25/23.
b. The 2/14/23 Entry MDS indicated Resident 2 re-admitted to the facility from the hospital.
The 2/14/23 SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility) Skin evaluation revealed Resident 2 had a Stage II pressure ulcer (partial-thickness loss of skin with exposed dermis) to the sacrum. The wound assessment did not have measurements, a description of the wound bed, or if drainage, odor or pain was present. [The wound was incorrectly staged as a Stage II and a comprehensive assessment was not completed.]
The 2/15/23 Wound Consultant Evaluation revealed a comprehensive assessment of the left medial buttock Stage III (full-thickness loss of skin) pressure ulcer was completed.
On 4/11/23 at 12:44 PM and 1:08 PM Staff 2 (DNS) verified the Stage III pressure ulcer was misidentified as a Stage II on 2/14/23 and verified the wound was not comprehensively assessed until 2/15/23.
2. Resident 13 admitted to the facility on 3/7/23 with diagnoses including a Stage III sacral pressure ulcer (full-thickness loss of skin) and left and right hip unstageable pressure ulcers (full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because the wound bed is obscured by slough (non-viable yellow, tan, gray, green or brown tissue) or eschar (dead or devitalized tissue)).
The 3/7/23 Admission Nursing Database indicated Resident 13 had three pressure ulcers. A comprehensive assessment of the three wounds was not completed.
The 3/8/23 initial wound assessment completed by the wound consultant revealed the following wounds:
* Wound one was an unstageable pressure ulcer to the sacrum.
* Wound two was an unstageable pressure ulcer to the right ischium (hip).
* Wound three was an unstageable pressure ulcer to the left ischium.
The assessment further stated Resident 13's wound healing was guarded, may be delayed was at a high risk for complications and current and future wounds may be unavoidable due to her/his comorbidities which impaired wound healing.
On 4/12/23 at 8:23 AM Staff 2 (DNS) verified the three pressure wounds were not comprehensively assessed until the wound consult assessed the wounds the day after admission to the facility (3/8/23).
Plan of Correction
Resident # 2 no longer resides at center.
Resident #13 comprehensive wound assessment was completed 3/8/2023.
The DNS or Designee audited current residents with wound care verifying a comprehensive wound assessment was completed, addressing concerns identified.

Corrected 5/16/2023
Findings
Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to administer prescribed medications to residents for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#7) reviewed for medications. This failure was determined to be an immediate jeopardy situation because the facility failed to follow Resident 7's physician orders and obtain medications which likely resulted in Resident 7's severe change of condition and hospitalization. Findings include:
The National Institutes of Health indicated the following:
-Depakote [name brand for divalproex sodium], revised 2/2023. Do not stop taking without consulting a healthcare provider. Stopping suddenly can cause serious problems. Stopping a seizure medicine suddenly...can cause seizures.
- Clobazam, revised 2/2023. Do not suddenly stop taking Clobazam. Stopping suddenly can cause serious and life-threatening side effects, including, unusual movements, responses, or expressions, seizures, sudden and severe mental or nervous system changes, depression, seeing or hearing things that others do not see or hear, an extreme increase in activity or talking, losing touch with reality, and suicidal thoughts or actions. Call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if you get any of these symptoms.
Resident 7 admitted to the facility on 12/30/22 with diagnosis including convulsions (sudden, violent, irregular movement of limb or body) and type 2 diabetes.

Corrected 1/11/2023
Findings
Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to assess a surgical wound for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#10) reviewed for wound care. This placed other residents at risk for lack of wound care. Findings include:
The facility's Skin at Risk/Skin Breakdown policy, revised 9/2020, stated "Within 8 hours of admission, a licensed nurse examines the resident's entire body to determine if skin impairment is present. Upon admission, skin at risk and any actual skin impairment is identified on the comprehensive care plan with interventions based on risk level identified. A full body skin evaluation is completed weekly by the licensed nurse. Completion of the skin audit is documented."

Visit 1 · 12/16/2022
Corrected 1/11/2023
Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents received pain medication as ordered for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#10) reviewed for medication. As a result, Resident 10 experienced severe, unrelenting pain for several hours on 10/29/22 and 12/10/22. Findings include:
The facility's Pain Management policy and procedure form, revised 10/2022, revealed "the resident is evaluated every shift for signs and symptoms of pain, receiving pain management according to the Preliminary Plan of Care and/or physician order. This data is collected on the MAR, in the interdisciplinary progress notes and through the MACC (Managing Acute Condition Change) process."
Resident 10 admitted to the facility on 10/29/22 with diagnoses including fractures of the left femur (upper thigh bone), left tibia (lower large leg bone), left fibula (lower small leg bone) and traumatic compartment syndrome (a painful medical condition with muscle pressure reaching dangerous levels) of the lower left leg.
Resident 10's care plan, dated 10/29/22 revealed she/he was care planned for pain management.

In an interview with Resident 10 on 12/8/22 at 2:39 PM, she/he stated she/he arrived at the facility on 10/29/22 around 2:00 PM. She/he stated initially there was no pain in her/his left leg as she/he was given Dilaudid before discharging from the hospital. Resident 10 recalled as the afternoon went on, the surgical wounds on her/his lower left leg started to hurt to the point she/he felt her/his leg was "shattered." She/he requested pain medication from staff multiple times and was told the medication was not available. Resident 10 stated she/he was unable to eat dinner due to the pain, she/he felt it was the worst pain she/he had ever experienced and rated it as a "definite 10" on a 1-10 scale, with 1 being no pain to 10 being severe, unmanageable pain. Resident 10 stated facility staff told her/him no available pain medication was a common issue in facilities and the medication would be delivered on the night delivery. Resident 10 recalled a nurse telling her/him about "some type of safe the medication was in, but I don't know if they had the code." Resident 10 stated she/he called the hospital she/he had discharged from requesting re-admission but was told to stay at the facility since the medication was en route from the pharmacy.
In a phone interview with Resident 10 on 12/12/22 at 9:00 AM, Resident 10 stated the facility ran out of her/his pain medication on 12/10/22, which caused in her/him to experience severe pain for several hours.

A nursing note written by Staff 3 (RCM) on 12/11/22 at 12:42 AM revealed "this RCM called pharmacy related to Dilaudid out. Pharmacy informed this RCM it is too soon and insurance would not cover. RCM gave permission to bill facility and stat Dilaudid medication."
A nursing note written by Staff 23 (LPN) on 12/11/22 at 1:08 AM revealed "CNA notified this LN that resident is requesting pain medication...this LN went into resident's room and explained to resident that pharmacy already notified and will deliver STAT which is between 2 -4 hours from the time the other LN made the call around midnight. Resident started cussing and yelling 'I want my pain meds now.' We will reapproach resident once she/he's calm."
The facility's "Weights and Vitals Summary" did not reflect any pain levels recorded on 12/10/22 after 5:41 PM. Pain levels were recorded on 12/11/22 at 2:25 AM as "8."

He stated the resident's pain medication delivery had been ordered for the night delivery on 10/29/22 at 4:50 PM. Staff 22 stated it was common for nursing facilities to have pain medications such as Dilaudid, morphine and hydrocodone in the Cubex (emergency medication kit used to dispense commonly used medications) for situations like new admissions that required medications prior to pharmacy delivery or if a scheduled narcotic prescription ran out. Staff 22 confirmed the facility had Dilaudid in the Cubex at the time of Resident 10's admission and noted there was a physician's order to administer one dose of the Dilaudid on 10/29/22 at 3:30 PM. Staff 22 stated pharmacy records indicated the Dilaudid was delivered as a "stat" delivery to the facility on 10/29/22 at 10:34 PM and was signed as delivered to by Staff 18 (LPN). He further stated on 12/10/22, the pharmacy was contacted by the facility, a new prescription was requested as well as a new code to dispense an emergency dose of Dilaudid. Staff 22 stated the pharmacy could not approve a new code for an emergency dose due to federal guidelines and the the pharmacy required a new physician's order, which could have been a verbal or faxed order. The pharmacy did not receive any orders from the facility's provider.
In an interview with Staff 18 on 12/14/22 at 2:43 PM, she stated she worked at the facility on 10/29/22 from 6:30 PM to 6:30 AM. At the begining of her shift, Staff 16 (RN) told her Resident 10 was getting the medication through the Cubex. Throughout Staff 18's shift she recalled Resident 10 told Staff 18 she/he was very painful. Staff 18 stated she contacted the pharmacy but was on hold three hours. Staff 18 stated she was unable to pull the pain medication from the Cubex because she was agency/pool staff, did not have the codes required to pull the medication and only full time facility staff had the codes. Staff 18 confirmed the pain medication was not delivered to the facility until after 10:00 PM and she immediately administered the maximum ordered dose to the resident. Staff 18 stated she did not contact the facility's provider to request a new order.
In an interview with Staff 3 (RCM) on 12/14/22 at 3:08 PM, she confirmed the facility had an emergency kit on site when Resident 10 was admitted to the facility. Staff 3 confirmed that agency or pool nurses were not given the codes to the emergency kit and the expectation was that a full time staff would have to access the emergency kit. She confirmed the facility ran out of the Dilaudid prescription on 12/10/22 at 2:00 PM. Staff 3 stated she was not aware a new order could have been called in to the pharmacy by the provider to dispense an emergency dose from the emergency kit.
In an interview with Staff 2 (DNS) on 12/15/22 at 2:30 PM, she confirmed Resident 10 had not received her/his pain medication timely on 10/29/22 or 12/10/22.

Corrected 7/5/2022
Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to revise care plans related to activities and urinary care for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 16 and 42) reviewed for activities and catheter care. This placed residents at risk for outdated care plans. Findings include:
1. Resident 42 admitted to the facility in 2020 with diagnoses including neurogenic bladder (lack of bladder control due to spinal cord problems).
A 1/7/22 physician order indicated the resident's foley catheter (a flexible tube inserted through the urethra to the bladder to drain urine) was removed.
A 2/14/22 order instructed staff to straight catheterize (use a straight thin tube intermittently to drain urine) the resident every six hours.
A review of Resident 42's care plan revealed the bladder care area was last updated on 1/21/21 and indicated the resident had a foley catheter and staff were to check routinely to be sure the bag was draining and tubing was not kinked.
A review of the resident's Urinary Tasks from 4/18/22 through 5/18/22 revealed the following:
-four times the task was not rated due to "condom catheter"
-two times the task was not rated due to "indwelling catheter"
Observations were made of the resident between 5/17/22 and 5/25/22 and there was no foley catheter present.
On 5/19/22 at 11:57 AM Staff 19 (CNA) reported she looked at the care plan for resident specific care. She stated the resident had a foley catheter for a long time but no longer had one. She reported the nurses straight catheterized the resident.
On 5/23/22 at 12:57 PM Staff 18 (CNA) stated she viewed the care plan to know what care to provide to residents. She reported Resident 42 had a foley catheter.
On 5/23/22 at 3:23 PM Staff 4 (Resident Care Manager) reported care plans were updated with changes when they occurred. She stated Resident 42 had the foley catheter removed "about three to five months" ago. Staff 4 Stated the care plan should have been updated to reflect the change to use of the straight catheter.
, 2. Resident 16 admitted to the facility in 2/2022 with diagnoses including diabetes and depression.
The 2/22/22 Admission MDS revealed Resident 16 was very interested in going outside and not very interested in group activities. The assessment was completed by Staff 13 (Activities).
The 3/1/22 Activities Initial Interview revealed Resident 16 was currently satisfied with her/his level of activity and staff would continue to monitor through weekly visits three times per week.
The 3/22/22 updated care plan revealed Resident 16 did not wish to participate in activities, she/he was able to direct her/his own activities and staff were to remind her/him of group activities.
On 5/17/22 at 10:19 AM Resident 16 was observed in bed with no television on and stated she/he wanted to go outside. Resident 16 stated she/he was provided an activity calendar with group activities but it was not helpful because of her/his disability.
On 5/17/22 at 1:23 PM and 5/18/22 at 4:54 PM Staff 13 stated she relied on CNAs to get residents up for group activities and acknowledged Resident 16 was not very responsive to group activities when she/he attended. When told about Resident 16's interest to be outside Staff 13 did not recall this information.
On 5/18/22 at 5:01 PM Staff 14 (CNA) stated Resident 16 recently wanted to get out of bed and wheel herself/himself outside. Staff 14 also stated the care plan did not list any of Resident 16's interests so conversations and offered activities were limited.
On 5/23/22 at 4:03 PM Staff 8 (CNA) stated Resident 16 often visited with her/his spouse who no longer came to visit. Staff 8 stated Resident 16 often requested those visits.
On 5/24/22 at 12:21 PM Staff 6 (LPN-Care Manager) expected updated activity care plans for Resident 16 as staff learned about her/him in order to offer care based on her/his needs and requests.
On 5/24/22 at 12:58 PM Staff 1 (Administrator) acknowledged care planned activities offered to a resident should reflect her/his needs and interests.
Plan of Correction
F657 - Care Planning Timing and Revision -
" Resident #16 will have his activity assessment and care plan updated to include his current interests and Resident #42 has had his care plan updated to reflect the removal of his catheter.
" An audit of residents with catheters in their care plans has been completed and care plans updated as needed. Residents who have had a change in activity involvement since admission were identified and care plans updated to reflect such.
" Education was provided to the RCMs on updating care plan when the foley catheter is removed by the regional nurse.
" Education was provided to the Activity Director on updating care plans after each quarterly assessment and when a change in level of activity involvement is identified.
" The DNS or designee will complete a weekly audit for 4 weeks, then 2x/month of residents care plans for either catheter OR change in activity participation level for 2 residents with catheters or 2 that had their catheters removed; and 3 residents who have been in the building for 30 to 60 days to identify if a change in activity level has been identified and care planned.
" Results of the care plan audit will be forwarded to the QAPI committee for review and further recommendations as needed.
" The Administrator, DNS and Activity Director are responsible to ensure compliance.

Visit 1 · 5/25/2022
Corrected 7/7/2022
Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide activities related to resident preferences for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#16) reviewed for activities. This placed residents at risk for diminished physical, emotional and social well-being. Findings include:
Resident 16 admitted to the facility in 2/2022 with diagnoses including diabetes and depression.
The 2/22/22 Admission MDS revealed Resident 16 was very interested in going outside and not very interested in group activities. The assessment was completed by Staff 13 (Activities).
The 3/1/22 Activities Initial Interview revealed Resident 16 was currently satisfied with her/his level of activity and would continue to monitor through weekly visits three times per week.
Review of Resident 16's clinicial record revealed no activities occurred since 2/2022.
On 5/17/22 at 10:19 AM Resident 16 was observed in bed with no television on and stated she/he wanted to go outside. Resident 16 stated she/he was provided an activity calendar with group activities but it was not helpful.
On 5/17/22 at 1:23 PM and 5/18/22 at 4:54 PM Staff 13 indicated she was frightened of Resident 16, only met with her/him five times since she/he arrived and no visits were recorded. Staff 13 also stated she relied on CNAs to get residents up for group activities and acknowledged Resident 16 was not very responsive to group activities. When told about Resident 16's interest to be outside Staff 13 did not recall the information she entered for the MDS. Staff 13 added she believed Resident 16 would adjust like other residents but it did not happen so her/his social interactions did not occur as planned.
On 5/24/22 at 12:58 PM Staff 1 (Administrator) acknowledged no activities occurred for Resident 16.
Plan of Correction
Activities Director began charting on Resident #16 activity participation daily. The activity assessment was updated and the care plan reviewed and revised as needed to reflect any change in resident interests since the previous assessment.

F0695 Respiratory/Tracheostomy Care and Suctioning Severity 2 ▼
Visit 1 · 5/25/2022
Corrected 7/7/2022
Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure respiratory care was provided appropriately for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#59) reviewed for respiratory care. This placed residents at risk for respiratory distress. Findings include:
Resident 59 was admitted to the facility in 12/2021 with diagnoses including acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypercapnia (excess carbon dioxide in bloodstream) and hypoxia (low O2 level in body tissues), chronic obstructive lung disease and obstructive sleep apnea (intermittent airflow blockage during sleep).
After admission, the medical record revealed Resident 59 experienced multiple respiratory episodes which required re-hospitalization, including:
-1/3/22: The resident's O2 sats dropped to 72% (normal O2 sat level: 95%-100%) and she/he experienced difficulty breathing.
-1/13/22: The resident's O2 sats dropped to the 80 percent range and she/he experienced respiratory distress.
-1/26/22: The resident was noted to have an O2 sat of 79% and was unresponsive. The resident returned to the facility on 2/1/22 with orders for continued use of a BiPAP (bi-level positive airway pressure device - used to maintain consistent breathing for people with respiratory conditions) at night and when sleeping.
-2/8/22: The resident was not responding and was found to be short of breath with low O2 sats. The resident returned to the facility on 2/11/22 with the following orders: "must wear BiPAP w/sleep, naps or when resting and 'might' fall asleep."
-4/5/22: The resident was found on the floor, confused and not responsive to questions.
On 5/17/22 at 12:20 PM Resident 59 was observed in bed with O2 on at 2 L (liters) per minute via NC (nasal cannula). The resident appeared short of breath as she/he talked rapidly and attempted to explain to the surveyor her/his concerns about the nursing staff not providing her/his O2 properly. Resident 59 explained she/he used the NC for O2 during the day unless she/he was sleeping and then would need to be switched to the BiPAP mask. The resident stated staff did not consistently replace the BiPAP mask after administration of medications or when she/he became tired and fell asleep.
The resident's 5/2022 TAR indicated the resident was to receive O2 continuously at 2-4 L per minute per NC. There was no specific information included to indicate when to change the resident's O2 administration from the NC to the BiPAP with the mask. Additionally there was no documentation of how many liters per minute of O2 the resident received.
On 5/24/22 at 1:17 PM Staff 21 (CMA) indicated she was aware Resident 59 requested to have her/his BiPAP mask replaced immediately after medications were administered. Staff 21 acknowledged the resident was anxious about having the mask re-applied in a timely manner.
On 5/24/22 at 1:49 PM Staff 22 (LPN) stated she was aware of the resident's need to have the BiPAP mask replaced after medications. Staff 22 stated the resident was always anxious about having the mask replaced as she/he quickly became short of breath. Staff 22 acknowledged the 5/2022 TAR did not include specific guidance regarding use of the mask with the BiPAP.
On 5/25/22 at 11:23 AM Staff 2 (DNS) acknowledged the lack of specific instructions or information on the 5/2022 TAR for Resident 59's use of the mask with the BiPAP. Staff 2 stated staff should document the amount of liters per minute of O2 the resident received.
Plan of Correction
F695¿ Respiratory care¿
Order updated for resident #59 at the time of survey, but resident has since been discharged. ¿
An audit of residents using a BiPAP, C-PAP and supplemental oxygen will be completed to determine if special instructions should be added to the order on the TAR. Review showed no residents that require a mask be used when short of breath or after medications are administered. Residents also observed for signs of shortness of breath and anxiety. Those in house are comfortable with their current method of oxygen administration. Oxygen orders were also reviewed for liter flow specific to that resident.
Education will be provided to the licensed staff on how to complete a BiPAP order including liters of oxygen.¿ Special needs such as re-applying the mask after med administration also need to be part of the instructions as needed. ¿
An audit will be done weekly x 4 weeks, then monthly x 2 months of BiPAP orders and proper administration.¿ Will include a review of special instructions if applicable.
Results of the Respiratory Care audit will be forwarded to the QAPI committee for review and further recommendations as needed.
The DNS and Administrator are responsible to ensure compliance.

Corrected 7/5/2022
Findings
Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure psychotropic drugs were reviewed appropriately for 2 of 5 sampled residents (#s 27 and 38) reviewed for medications. This placed residents at risk for inaccurate medication dosing. Findings include:
1. Resident 27 was admitted to the facility in 2012 with diagnoses including depression, anxiety disorder and chronic pain.
Resident 27's medical record revealed she/he received the following psychotropic medications:
-Zyprexa (antipsychotic),
-Cymbalta (antidepressant) and
-Wellbutrin (antidepressant).
A Psychoactive Drug Review completed on 3/2/22 indicated Resident 27 displayed the following target behaviors as reasons for use of all three medications: Isolation, lethargy, depressive symptoms, and anxiety. The drug review did not describe resident-specific behaviors for the two different types of medications.
Psychoactive Drug Reviews completed on 4/6/22 and 5/4/22 indicated Resident 27 displayed the following target behaviors as reasons for use of all three medications: manipulative behaviors, self limiting, odd behaviors, verbally abusive, threatening behaviors, and depressive mood. The drug review failed to describe resident-specific behaviors for the two different types of medications.
On 5/25/33 at 11:47 AM Staff 2 (DNS) acknowledged there should be specific behaviors described for two different types of medications. Staff 2 stated the target behaviors should be detailed to the resident actions and each medication.
2. Resident 38 was admitted to the facility in 2022 with diagnoses including depression, diabetes and a left below the knee amputation.
The medical record indicated Resident 38 received Cymbalta (antidepressant) 30 mg every day when she/he was admitted.
The resident's 3/31/22 care plan revealed she/he had a mood problem related to depression and adult failure to thrive. Interventions included to report any risk of self harm or suicidal plans. Staff were directed to monitor for signs or symptoms of depression, anxiety or sad mood.
Resident 38's medical record revealed the following Progress Notes:
-3/28/22: The resident was noted to be tearful, stated she/he would rather be dead and did not want to be on any more medications.
-3/30/22: The resident stated she/he would be better off dead than go through what she/he was medically experiencing. The resident denied having a plan to harm herself/himself.
-4/4/22: The resident stated she/he would rather be dead than go through what she/he was going through, but had no plan to harm her/himself.
A 4/6/22 Psychotropic Drug Review indicated Resident 38 had target behaviors including: restless, failure to thrive, pain, sadness and discomfort. There was no information regarding the resident's expressions of self-harm or ending her/his life. The Psychotropic Drug Review included non-drug interventions: rule out pain and discomfort, offer activities or one-on-one talks and frequent check-ins. The drug review indicated non-drug interventions were noted to be effective and there were no behaviors observed since Resident 38's admission to the facility. A recommendation was made to increase the dose of Cymbalta from 30 mg to 60 mg daily. There was no documentation related to the resident's thoughts of ending her/his life or related interventions included in the drug review.
On 5/25/22 at 11:37 AM Staff 2 (DNS) acknowledged the Psychotropic Drug Review lacked information related to the resident's behaviors of harming herself/himself or wishing she/he were dead. Staff 2 agreed the drug review should have included the interventions associated with the resident's thoughts of self-harm and their effectiveness.

Corrected 7/7/2022
Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determine the facility failed to ensure proper monitoring, cleaning and sanitation of equipment, food preparation surfaces and the kitchen for 1 of 1 kitchen and failed to ensure 1 of 1 ice machine was plumbed correctly to prevent the backflow of contaminated matter into the ice machine. This placed residents at risk for food borne illnesses.
1. An 4/7/22 Dish Machine Service Report revealed the chemistry level for the sanitizer was at 50 ppm (parts per million) and the dish machine operated according to the manufacturer's requirements.
On 5/16/22 at 1:39 PM during the initial kitchen observation the low temperature dish machine operated without chemical sanitizer and the Dishwasher Temperatures/Sanitizer Log had no chemical levels entered from 5/1/22 through 5/16/22.
On 5/16/22 at 2:01 PM Staff 12 (Dietary Aide) was unable to accurately demonstrate how to test the sanitizer level of the dish machine and confirmed the dish washer was operating without chemical sanitizer.
On 5/16/22 at 6:20 PM Staff 11 (Dietary Aide) stated he worked in the dish room for two months and was not trained to ensure adequate levels of chemical sanitizer were used to wash dishes in the dish machine.
On 5/16/22 at approximately 2:10 PM and on 5/17/22 at 12:10 PM Staff 15 (Dietary Manager) stated the dish machine should operate with adequate levels of chemical sanitizer according to manufacturer guidelines, the Dishwasher Temperatures/Sanitizer Log for 5/2022 contained no data about the chemical levels, and the facility had no additional information to ensure the dish machine chemical levels were adequately monitored or that staff were properly trained on how to measure sanitizer levels for the dish machine.
2. During general kitchen observations on 5/16/22 and 5/17/22 the following was observed:
-The oven duct system had grease observed in the vent opening and hanging from the lip of the vent.
-The wall behind the oven had dark brown splatters that covered the area and extended to the floor. A black pipe that extended from the back of the refrigerator had a build-up of dirty yellow material with unidentified debris attached.
-The garbage can was not covered while not in use and the wall and a metal box attached to the wall behind the trash can were covered with food debris.
-Oven mitts were stored in a manner which exposed them to the unclean floor.
-A red bucket with murky water and a rag immersed in the water was observed in the preparation sink.
-No monthly cleaning logs were posted except one located in the dish room. No entries for the completion of cleaning tasks during the month were found for 5/2022.
-A Sanitizing Bucket Log for 5/2022 was posted in the preparation area. No log entry was completed after 8:00 AM on 5/17/22. In the preparation sink two red buckets were observed. One bucket had a towel immersed in a murky solution.
On 5/16/22 at 6:17 PM Staff 9 (Dietary Aide) stated the cleaning log was provided only as a guide of what needed to be done daily and it was not necessary to document what was completed.
On 5/16/22 at 6:20 PM Staff 11 (Dietary Aide) stated he cooked one day per week and never cleaned or observed anyone clean the vents. Staff 11 also stated there was no system in place to determine routine deep cleaning tasks in the kitchen. He reported random deep cleaning tasks were posted on the kitchen office door for staff to complete. Staff 11 stated at times kitchen staff informed Staff 15 (Dietary Manager) of cleaning tasks they completed based on their own observations.
On 5/17/22 at 12:10 PM Staff 15 stated he completed one sanitation audit over two months since he was assigned to the facility and cleaned what he observed. Staff 15 acknowledged the walls, vents and floors were dirty and relocated the oven mitts off the floor.
On 5/17/22 at 4:28 PM Staff 10 (Cook) stated she routinely worked as the cook and used the observed bucket with a murky solution to hold the towel after she cleaned contaminated counters. Staff 10 stated she did not know how to ensure the bucket had an adequate level of sanitizer and stated the bucket was not recently changed.
On 5/18/22 at 3:23 PM Staff 10 was again observed working in the kitchen. Staff 15 tested the solution in the red bucket in the preparation sink and acknowledged the level of sanitizer was at 100 ppm instead of 200 ppm as required to meet the minimum requirement for the sanitizer solution and was inadequate to properly sanitize the kitchen work surfaces. Staff 15 stated he expected the sanitizer solution to be changed every two hours in order to best maintain the required level of sanitizer.
3. According to the 2017 Food Code 5-202.13: "The water outlet of a drinking water system must not be installed so that it contacts water in sinks, equipment, or other fixtures that use water. Providing an air gap between the water supply outlet and the flood level rim of a plumbing fixture or equipment prevents contamination that may be caused by backflow."
On 5/16/22 at approximately 6:30 PM the facility ice machine located in the dining room was observed to have a drain pipe coming from the back panel of the ice machine and extended along the floor approximately four feet where it entered into a wall. The drain pipe was not plumbed to include an air gap between the end of the pipe and where it drained to prevent the potential backflow of contaminated matter.
On 5/19/22 at 2:08 PM Staff 1 (Administrator) was shown the ice machine plumbing and stated she was unaware of the requirement for an air gap.
On 5/23/22 at 10:35 AM Staff 16 (Maintenance Director) looked at the plumbing from the ice machine into the wall and confirmed water had the potential to backflow based on the plumbing and an air gap was needed.

Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to provide care and services for 1 of 4 sampled residents (#10) reviewed for accidents to prevent elopement from occurring. This placed other residents at risk for elopement. Findings include:
Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on 3/26/21 with diagnoses including dementia without behavioral disturbance and amnesia.
On 1/3/22 at 11:40 AM, the main facility door was observed locked. Staff were observed to open the front door with a coded keypad next to the door.
The resident's care plan dated 3/28/21 revealed Resident 10 was an elopement risk/wanderer related to the resident thinking she/he had to go to work. Interventions were to distract the resident with pleasant diversions, structured activities, food, conversation, television and books.
On 3/31/21 at 3:11 PM, a nursing note revealed Resident 10 had been allowed to exit through the front door on 3/30/21 after asking a hospitality aide to open the locked door. Nursing staff observed Resident 10 exit, intervened and assisted the resident back into the building. Resident 10 was put in the Elopement Binder, which was a book with identifying information of residents considered at risk for elopement and the resident was considered a low risk for elopement.
On 4/1/21 at 6:41 PM, a nursing note revealed Resident 10 could not be located in the building and had last been seen around 5:00 PM at the nurse's station. Elopement protocols were initiated, searches in the building and neighborhood were conducted but the resident was not located. A subsequent nursing note dated 4/2/21 at 7:20 AM revealed the resident had been returned to the facility the previous evening by Resident 10's friends.
The facility's Elopement report, dated 4/5/21, revealed Resident 10 had a SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility) elopement risk evaluation on 3/26/21 which considered her/him a low risk for elopement/wandering. On 3/31/21, another risk assessment was completed due to the resident looking for the patio and the resident stated she/he needed to go to work. The risk assessment indicated Resident 10 was a low risk for elopement but she/he was placed in the Elopement Binder.
Facility video surveillance from 4/1/21 at 1:22 PM was reviewed by facility administration and revealed a housekeeper was working as a hospitality aide and allowed Resident 10 out the front door. The housekeeper was unaware Resident 10 was an elopement risk and in the Elopement Binder. At around 5:30 PM, staff were unable to locate Resident 10 and initiated an elopement search. Staff searched throughout the building and neighborhood, attempted to contact the resident's family and friends but were unable to locate anyone or the resident and contacted Law Enforcement. Around 7:40 PM, Resident 10 was returned to the facility by her/his roommate, who reported Resident 10 had walked from the facility to their home, which was several miles away from the facility. Resident 10 stated that she/he needed to get to work.
On 1/12/22 at 1:30 PM, Staff 1 (Administrator) confirmed it was an expectation of the facility that residents be free from elopement.
Plan of Correction
F-689- Free of Accident Hazards/Supervision/Device
• Resident #10 no longer resides at facility.
• Director of Nursing or designee reviewed current residents for elopement risk, addressing concerns identified.
• The Director of Nursing or designee in-serviced staff on the elopement binder. A second elopement binder was created to sit at screening desk.
• The Director of Nursing or designee will do random audits via observation, interviews and/or chart/elopement book review for elopement compliance weekly x 3 weeks then monthly x 2 months.
• The Director of Nursing or Designee will report the results of these audits at the facility monthly Quality Assurance meeting for 60 days or until substantial compliance has been achieved or sustained as determined by the committee.
• The Administrator is responsible to ensure compliance.

Visit 1 · 11/8/2021
Corrected 12/20/2021
Findings
Based on observations, interviews and record review it was determined the faciliy failed to maintain appropriate infection control practices to prevent the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus and other infectious diseases for two of four hallways, one of one break room, one of one kitchen and one of one screening area reviewed for infection prevention. This placed residents at risk for exposure and contraction of the COVID-19 virus and other infectious diseases. Findings include:
1. The Center for Disease Control (CDC), "Interim Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations for Healthcare Personnel During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic", revised 9/10/21, instructed healthcare workers to perform hand hygiene before and after all patient contact, before and after removing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) which included gloves. Hand hygiene after removing PPE is particularly important to remove any pathogens that might have been transferred to bare hands during the removal process.
The Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice, 10th edition, "Fundamentals of Standard Precautions for Hand Hygiene" indicated hand hygiene is the single most recommended measure to reduce the risk of transmitting micro-organisms. Hand hygiene should be performed between patient contacts; after contact with blood, body fluids, secretions and excretions, and contaminated equipment or articles; before donning and after removing gloves is vital for infection control.
Observations were conducted from 11/2/21 through 11/3/21 between the hours of 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM. During these observations, staff were observed not to perform hand hygiene appropriately to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Examples of observations included:
On 11/2/21 at 11:19 AM, Staff 18 (Maintenance) was observed to come into the screening area from outside with no mask or shield donned and his mask was observed to be hanging around his neck. Staff 18 put the mask on with no hand hygiene and left the screening area.
On 11/2/21 at 12:01 PM, Staff 8 (CNA) was observed exiting an isolation room and doffed gloves without completing hand hygiene.
On 11/2/21 at 12:08 PM, Staff 23 (LPN) was observed to don gloves without completing hand hygiene prior to donning the gloves.
On 11/2/21 during shift change at 2:00 PM, Staff 17 (Hospitality Aide) was observed to touch his face shield several times while screening incoming staff without completing hand hygiene.
On 11/2/21 at 2:06 PM, residents were observed coming into the building from a smoke break with no cueing from staff to complete hand hygiene.
On 11/3/21 at 11:55 AM, Staff 11 (CNA) was observed to be touching her face shield several times during an interview with surveyor and not completing hand hygiene. Staff 11 acknowledged she was aware she was supposed to use Alcohol Based Hand Rub (ABHR) after touching her shield.
On 11/3/21 at 12:16 PM, Staff 12 (CNA) was observed to touch her face shield at the food cart, take a food tray from the cart and deliver the tray to a resident room with no hand hygiene.
On 11/3/21 at 12:21 PM, a resident was observed to come into the building after a smoke break with no cueing by Staff 13 (LPN/Charge Nurse) to complete hand hygiene.
2. The CDC "Interim Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations for Healthcare Personnel During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic," revised 9/10/21, indicated facilities should ensure proper use, handling and implementation of PPE which included disinfection, handling and storage methods.
Observations were conducted from 11/2/21 through 11/3/21 between the hours of 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM. During these observations, staff were observed not to adhere to the recommended disinfection methods for PPE. Examples of observations included:
On 11/2/21 at 11:00 AM, Staff 17 did not sanitize the thermometer between uses when screening the survey team, visitors and staff upon entrance to the building. Staff 17 confirmed he did not consistently disinfect the thermometer.
On 11/2/21 at 11:11 AM, an inspection of the face shield storage and disinfection area in the front area of the facility was observed to contain items stored in the bins other than face shields or masks.
On 11/2/21 at 11:20 AM, a N-95 mask was observed on the break room table unattended without a barrier. Staff 27 (CNA) confirmed the mask did not belong to him.
On 11/2/21 at 11:53 AM, Staff 19 (Laundry Aide) was observed to place her face shield on top of the clean clothing cart, then placed the shield on the clean linen. Staff 19 did not complete hand hygiene after removing the face shield. Staff 19 confirmed she did not complete hand hygiene and did not properly store her face shield.
On 11/3/21 at 11:52 AM, Staff 14 was observed in the kitchen on the tray line with his face shield flipped up over his eyes. Staff 15 (Dietary Aide) was observed to be standing next to Staff 14 with no face shield donned.
3. The 10/25/20 CDC Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) Strategies for Optimizing the Supply of Eye Protection, revised 9/13/21, indicated if a disposable face shield is reprocessed, it should be reprocessed whenever it is visibly soiled or removed, such as when leaving an isolation area, prior to putting it back on. Staff were to don clean gloves, carefully wipe the inside, followed by the outside of the face shield using a clean cloth saturated with neutral detergent or cleaner wipe. The outside of the face shield was to be wiped with EPA registered disinfect solution.
Observations were conducted from 11/2/21 through 11/3/21 between the hours of 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM. During these observations, staff were observed not to adhere to the recommended reprocessing and disinfection methods for eye protection/face shields. Examples of observations included:
On 11/2/21 at 12:01 PM, Staff 8 (CNA) was observed exiting an isolation room without disinfecting her face shield. Staff 9 (CNA) was observed cueing Staff 8 on the disinfection process and stated Staff 8 had worked at the facility for several years.
On 11/2/21 at 2:14 PM, Staff 14 (Cook) was observed to place his face shield in the storage bin area without disinfecting the shield. Staff 14 indicated he was supposed to disinfect the face shield, then left the facility without doing so.
On 11/2/21 at 2:20 PM, Staff 5 (Dietary Manager) confirmed Staff 14 was not following COVID-19 protocols for disinfecting PPE.
On 11/3/21 at 2:58 PM, the findings of this investigation were discussed with Staff 2 (DNS). No additional information was received.
On 11/8/21 at 9:00 AM, Staff 1 (Administrator) was notified of the findings. No additional information was received.
