Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure physician orders were followed and medical conditions were assessed for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1, 2 and 5) reviewed for physician orders and weight. This placed residents at risk for worsening health conditions and unmet needs. Findings include:
1. Resident 5 admitted to the facility on 2/15/24 with diagnoses including pneumonia, acute respiratory disease, acute heart failure, hypertension, and vascular disease.
Resident 5's 2/25/24 physician order directed staff to give 40 mg of Furosemide (diuretic medication) every 24 hours PRN for edema (fluid retention), shortness of breath, weight gain of three lbs (pounds) in 24 hours or a weight gain of more than five lbs in one week.
Review of Resident 15's health record revealed the following weights:
- Admission weight: 2/15/24 at 243.8 lbs;
- Gained three lbs in 24 hrs on;
- 2/19/24 at 244.6 lbs to 2/20/24 at 248.3 lbs;
- 3/14/24 at 252.8 lbs to 3/15/24 at 261.6 lbs;
- 3/19/24 at 261.4 lbs to 3/20/24 at 266.2 lbs.
- Gained five lbs in one week on;
- 2/26/24 at 246.2 lbs to 3/4/24 at 252.2 lbs;
- 3/12/24 at 253.8 lbs to 3/19/24 at 261.4 lbs.
Discharge/hospitalization weight:
- 3/25/24 at 267.2 lbs.
Resident 5's 2/2024 and 3/2024 MAR revealed the order for 40 mg of Furosemide (diuretic medication) every 24 hours PRN for edema (fluid retention), shortness of breath, weight gain of three lbs in 24 hours or weight gain of more than five lbs in one week was given on 3/21/24 and 3/25/24. No other dates were identified when the medication was given.
On 4/25/24 at 2:53 PM Staff 2 (DNS) acknowledged she expected all physician orders to be followed. Staff 2 confirmed Resident 5 experienced weight gain with no PRN Furosemide given according to the physician order. No additional information was provided.
2. Resident 1 admitted to the facility in 3/2023 with diagnoses including pain and depression.
Resident 1's health record revealed weights were taken on the following dates:
- 1/16/24 at 242.9 lbs (pounds);
- 3/23/24 at 199 lbs. (43.9 lbs loss).
On 2/28/24 Resident 1 was reviewed with the NAR (Nutrition At Risk) team. The NAR team indicated Resident 1's weight was stable with no changes.
A 3/28/24 Weight Warning progress note indicated Resident 1's weight was 199 lbs on 3/23/24 which indicated significant weight loss.
A 4/4/24 Nutrition Assessment indicated Resident 1's weight was 199 lbs. No changes in nutritional status and no indication of significant weight loss were identified or assessed.
On 4/25/24 at 10:20 AM Staff 2 (DNS) stated the CNAs were expected to obtain resident's weights. She would expect the CNAs to report to the CN (Charge Nurse) if a resident weight was out of normal range, the CN would reweigh the resident, and if the weight was accurate, the CN would report to the RNCM. The RNCM would then take the resident's weight concern to the NAR team to evaluate the information.
Resident 1's heath record revealed no attempts to assess, evaluate, provide a justification or referral for NAR team for the significant weight loss recorded on 3/23/24.
On 4/25/24 at 2:06 PM Staff 2 acknowledged Resident 1's Weight Warning progress note on 3/28/24. Staff 2 stated the Weight Warning alert trigger in the progress note "was cleared by the RD" and she was unaware of why it would have been cleared with no follow up. Staff 2 stated she would have expected this weight loss to have been assessed and followed up on to find the root cause. No additional information was provided to indicate the facility assessed, evaluated, or provided a justification for Resident 1's significant weight loss.
3. Resident 2 admitted to the facility in 3/22/24 with diagnoses including heart disease.
Record review of Resident 2's health record revealed the following weights:

Resident 2's 3/25/24 Nutritional Assessment revealed no concerns identified her/his nutritional status.
Review of Resident 2's health record revealed no assessment, justification or indication for the reason for the weight gain.
On 4/25/24 at 10:20 AM Staff 2 (DNS) stated the CNAs were to obtain the resident's weights. She would expect the CNAs to report to the CN (Charge Nurse) if a resident weight was out of normal range, the CN would reweigh the resident, if the weight was accurate, the CN would report to the RNCM. The RNCM would then take the resident's weight concern to the NAR (Nutrition At Risk) team to evaluate the information.
Review of Resident 2's health record revealed no information regarding the weight gain.
On 4/25/24 at 3:05 PM Staff 2 acknowledged Resident 2's weight gain and stated she would expect the facility to assess the weight gain. No additional information was provided.
Plan of Correction

Findings
Based on record review, the facility failed to report complete information about COVID-19 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) during a seven-day period that reporting was required by regulation.
The CDC submitted data from the NHSN to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Based on review of that data, CMS determined that between 04/08/2024 and 04/14/2024, the facility did not report complete information to NHSN about COVID-19 in the standardized format and frequency as specified by CMS and the CDC. This failure to report has the potential to cause more than minimal harm to all residents residing in the facility.

Corrected 7/31/2024
Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure safety interventions were in place to prevent elopement for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1) reviewed for elopement. This put residents at risk for potentially avoidable accidents. Findings include:
The facility's undated Wandering and Elopements Policy indicates:
If a resident is missing, initiate the elopement/missing resident emergency procedure:
-Determine if the resident is out on an authorized leave or pass;
-If the resident was not authorized to leave, initiate a search of the building(s) and premises; and
-If the resident is not located, notify the administrator and the director of nursing services, the resident's legal representative, the attending physician, law enforcement officials, and (as necessary) volunteer agencies (i.e., emergency management, rescue squads, etc.).
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 11/2023 with diagnoses including peripheral vascular disease (a circulatory condition charactarized by reduced blood flow to the limbs) and cellulitis (a bacterial skin infection).
A review of Resident 1's 11/28/23 care plan revealed she/he used a four-wheeled walker for ambulation.
A review of Resident 1's 3/4/24 Elopement Risk Evaluation revealed she/he was cognitively impaired with poor decision-making skills and she/he ambulated independently.
A 3/24/24 nursing progress note at 5:59 PM by Staff 9 (LPN) indicated Resident 1 was out of the facility.
On 4/1/24 at 12:19 PM Staff 3 (CNA) stated Resident 1 left the facility on 3/24/24. She added,"[She/ He didn't tell anybody [she/he] was leaving. [She/he] stayed out for two days, went to the hospital, and then readmitted here."
No documentation was found in Resident 1's electronic health record or in the facility's Resident Sign Out Log to indicate she/he left the facility on 3/24/24.
On 4/1/24 at 12:42 PM Staff 6 (RN) stated she provided wound care to resident 1 on 3/24/24 at about 1:00 PM and then gave a report to Staff 9, the oncoming nurse at shift change. Staff 6 stated residents who are alert and oriented are allowed to leave the facility if they sign out and provide staff information about where they are going and when they will be back. She added Resident 1 previously left the facility and "was gone all night." Staff 6 stated she called the police when this happened but she did not recall the date.
On 4/2/24 at 1:39 PM Staff 9 stated she did not know when Resident 1 left on 3/24/24 but called Staff 2 (DNS) to tell her Resident 1 was out of the facility.
On 4/2/24 at 1:45 PM Staff 2 stated she told the night shift nurse to "hold off on calling the police" because this was a recent change in behavior for Resident 1.
On 4/2/24 at 1:57 PM Staff 10 (Assistant Administrator) stated Resident 1 left the facility on the afternoon of 3/24/24 and was out of the facility all day on 3/25/24. She stated she expected the care plan to reflect a resident's behavior of leaving the facility without telling staff or signing out.
No evidence was found in Resident 1's Care Plan to indicate staff developed interventions related to Resident 1's behavior of leaving the facility without informing staff.
On 4/2/24 at 2:05 PM Staff 1 (Administrator) acknowledged the facility staff did not know where Resident 1 was from 3/24/24 to 3/26/24 and stated, "We should have called the police, updated [Resident 1's] Care Plan with the behavior of [her/him] leaving the facility and documented that we were educating him." She also stated, "We have some gaps in the documentation that we need to address as a system."
Plan of Correction
1. Director or Nursing completed an audit of all resident care plans who are or are potential Elopement risk.
2. Update all residents who are an elopement or potential elopement risk care plans and binders.
3. Inservice all staff on 04/03/2024 on Elopement risk, Emergency procedures on missing residents, and charting and documentation.
4. Resident 1 was placed in the elopement binder and care plan updated for elopement risk and behaviors.
5. Resident 1 was provided education on leaving facility and asked to sign in and out, notify staff when leaving facility and where he is going, was educated on elopement preparedness plan and explained that if he did not return back to facility by midnight emergency elopement procedure would be enacted and law enforcement would be notified.
6. DON or designee will audit all elopement assessments, care plans and binders, weekly x 4, monthly x 2 for 3 months beginning 05/06/2024.

Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident needs and preferences related to lighting were accommodated for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 3 and 205) reviewed for accommodation of needs. This placed residents at risk for lack of access to lighting and an unhomelike environment. Findings include:
1. Resident 205 was admitted to the facility in 11/2023 with a diagnosis including cardiac arrest.
On 11/28/23 and 9:30 AM Resident 205 stated her/his overbed light cord was too short and she/he could not independently use the light without the extension of the plastic bag provided.
On 12/1/23 at 1:16 PM Staff 6 (Maintenance Director) stated he expected staff to report to him when overbed light cords were too short. Staff 6 observed the plastic bag tied to the cord and stated the cord needed the proper extensions on them.
, 2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 10/2023 with a diagnosis of cellulitis (a bacterial skin infection).
A review of Resident 3's 10/18/23 Admission MDS revealed she/he was cognitively intact.
On 11/29/23 at 8:13 AM a plastic trash bag was observed to be tied to the pull cord of her/his overbed light.
On 11/30/23 at 9:07 AM Resident 3 stated she/he could not reach the cord so a caregiver tied the plastic trash bag to the cord as an extender. She/he stated she/he preferred to use a longer cord rather than a plastic trash bag to turn her/his light on and off.
On 12/1/23 at 1:16 PM Staff 6 (Maintenance Director) stated he expected staff to report to him when overbed light cords were too short.
Plan of Correction
1. Administrator and Maintenance Director completed an audit of all overhead light cords.

Corrected 12/26/2023
Findings
Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to complete reference checks for 2 of 5 sampled staff (#s 9 and 10) reviewed for reference checks. This placed residents at risk for abuse. Findings include:

F0919 Resident Call System Severity 2 ▼
Visit 1 · 10/5/2023
Corrected 10/18/2023
Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a call light system was adequately equipped to relay resident calls to caregivers for assistance on 2 of 2 hallways reviewed for call light response times. This placed residents at risk for lack of timely assistance and unmet needs. Findings include:
Resident 100 was admitted to the facility in 2022 with diagnoses including a left knee replacement.
On 10/4/23 at 4:36 PM Resident 100 stated during her/his stay in 11/2022 and 12/2022, call light times were frequently delayed. Resident 100 stated she/he required assistance for transferring, ambulating and toileting but often self-transferred and ambulated to the bathroom without assistance because it took so long for staff to respond to her/his call light. Resident 100 stated sometimes her/his call light was on for so long, she/he called the facility's main phone number and asked to have a staff member sent to her/his room for assistance. Resident 100 stated call lights were delayed 30 minutes to over an hour, at times.
Resident 100's 11/28/22 through 12/8/22 call light tracking records indicated the following delayed call light response times:
-Call light response times over 20 minutes: 12;
-Call light response times over 30 minutes: 13;
-Call light response times over 40 minutes: 2;
-Call light response times over 50 minutes: 4 and
-Call light response times over 1 hour: 3.
The 11/29/22 Resident Council Meeting Minutes revealed residents' had a continued concern with call lights not being answered in a timely manner.
Observations from 10/4/23 through 10/5/23 from 8:30 AM through 3:00 PM revealed a call light monitor mounted on the wall in the south hallway. The monitor was inaudible. On the north hallway, a monitor sat on the counter of nursing station two. The monitor was inaudible. Call light indicators above residents' rooms did not activate and staff did not carry call light notification devices on their person.
On 10/5/23 at 9:08 AM Staff 14 (CNA) confirmed call light response times were often delayed because CNA staff were unable to see or hear if residents' call lights were activated unless they walked down the hallway and looked at the call light monitor or a staff member notified them there was a call light on. Staff 14 stated CNA staff did not carry call light notification devices and if they did it would help them respond to call lights faster.
On 10/5/23 at 9:15 AM Staff 7 (CNA) stated if he were in a resident's room or not near a call light monitor there was no way of knowing if a residents' call light was activated. Staff 7 stated call light response times were delayed because CNA staff could not hear or see the monitor when they were not in the vicinity of the call light monitors.
On 10/5/23 at 9:27 AM Staff 9 (CNA) stated the facility used to provide call light notification devices for the staff to carry but they went missing or were broken and the facility did not replace them. Staff 9 confirmed the only way to know a resident activated her/his call light was to look on the call light monitor.
On 10/5/23 at 2:32 PM Staff 1 (Administrator) confirmed Resident 100's call light response times were not acceptable. Staff 1 stated she expected call lights to be addressed within five minutes. Staff 1 stated the facility had a continued problem with lengthy call light response times because there was no way for staff to recognize a resident activated her/his call light unless they looked on the call light monitor since staff currently did not carry call light notification devices.
Plan of Correction
• On 10/05/2023, facility Administrator contacted IT department and IAlert team to activate sound on monitors for station one and two to ensure that staff could hear the call light system. On 10/12/2023, IT department and IAlert Representative were able to increase volume of call light system.
• On 10/11/2023, facility Administrator ordered two more alert monitors to be added to the other end of the halls for side one and side two, for easier visual and audible access to staff. Each end of the hall will have a IAlert monitor that allows for more visual and audible access to the call light system.
• On 10/13/2023, facility Administrator ordered two-way radios for floor staff to alert each other when the call light notification is activated. On 10/13/23, staff were in-serviced on use and two- way radios are currently in use.
• Facility Administrator or designee will audit call light system by running a report on IAlert, once a week for four weeks, to review call light wait times. Then randomly twice a month for 3 months.
• Staff in-serviced on call light response on 10/06/2023 and 10/13/2023
• Audit results will be brought to QAPI for IDT Review.

F0884 Reporting - National Health Safety Network Severity 2 ▼
Visit 1 · 4/17/2023
No correction date recorded
Findings
Based on record review, the facility failed to report complete information about COVID-19 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) during a seven-day period that reporting was required by regulation.
The CDC submitted data from the NHSN to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Based on review of that data, CMS determined that between 04/10/2023 and 04/16/2023, the facility did not report complete information to NHSN about COVID-19 in the standardized format and frequency as specified by CMS and the CDC. This failure to report has the potential to cause more than minimal harm to all residents residing in the facility.

Resident 17's healthcare record revealed no signed consent and no evidence the resident was provided information regarding the risks and benefits of the Effexor XR.
On 9/13/22 at 10:38 AM Staff 12 (LPN Resident Care Manager) stated when changing or starting a new medication, the resident needed to provide consent and be presented with risks and benefits of the medication. Staff 12 was unable to locate a consent form in Resident 17's health record which included the risks and benefits of the Effexor XR.
On 9/13/22 at 10:50 AM Staff 31 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated a consent was signed by the resident and the risks and benefits of a medication was reviewed with the resident prior to starting a psychotropic medication. Staff 31 was notified of the findings of this investigation and provided with the opportunity to locate a consent form and evidence Resident 17 was provided with risks and benefits of the Effexor XR.
On 9/13/22 at 11:37 AM Staff 31 stated she was unable to locate a consent form or evidence the resident was presented with information regarding the risks and benefits of Effexor XR.

Visit 1 · 5/25/2022
Corrected 6/22/2022
Findings
Based on observation, interview, and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure a supervised resident smoker did not have continued access to smoking materials for 1 of 8 sampled residents (#1). This failure to ensure Resident 1 was supervised while smoking and intoxicated resulted in Resident 1 sustaining second degree burns to her/his face, which was determined to be an immediate jeopardy situation in the area of CFR 483.25 Quality of Care. Findings include:
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility 10/23/20 with diagnoses including cerebral palsy (a neurological disorder that affects movement and muscle tone), alcohol abuse and bilateral above the knee amputations.
On 5/3/22 at 5:00 PM a FRI indicated on 5/3/22 at approximately 3:45 PM Resident 19 went into the facility from the smoking area and reported to staff, Resident 1 burned her/himself. Staff retrieved the DNS and Administrator Assistant to tend to Resident 1 and called 911. Resident 1 was unable to state what occurred and appeared intoxicated. Resident 1 was sent to the hospital.
On 5/3/22 at 9:22 PM Staff 28 (LPN) documented in Resident 1's progress notes at approximately 3:45 PM the Administrator Assistant informed Staff 28 that Resident 1 was smoking and her/his face appeared burned. Resident 1 was outside in the smoking area with another resident. The other resident put the fire out. Staff 28 called 911. Resident 1 did not provide a description to what occurred. Resident 1 was agitated, drowsy, had slurred speech, and appeared intoxicated. Resident 1 admitted she/he drank a beer. Resident 1 noted with black areas and increased redness to her/his right side of face and neck with no open areas, and missing hair. Resident 1 stated her/his pain level was 7/10 but then denied pain. When paramedics arrived, the resident was assisted to the stretcher by five people and transported to the hospital.
The 5/3/22 hospital discharge summary revealed Resident 1 was intoxicated upon arrival and sustained a second degree burn to her/his face.
On 5/4/22 a Smoking Assessment for Resident 1 was completed and she/he was assessed to require supervised smoking.
On 5/4/22 at 10:09 AM Resident 1 was observed to have a cord with a key around her/his neck, like a necklace, and she/he accessed smoking materials independently from the smoking lock box.
On 5/4/22 at 10:10 AM Staff 10 (CNA) stated supervised smokers did not have access to smoking materials and staff had the key for the smoking materials. Staff 10 stated Resident 1 was a supervised smoker after the incident on 5/3/22.
On 5/4/22 at 10:42 AM Resident 1 stated she/he did not remember the incident on 5/3/22 and was thankful another resident put the fire out on her/his face. Resident 1 stated she/he used to be an independent smoker but because her/his face caught on fire she/he had to be supervised, follow the rules and smoking times. Resident 1 was observed to have a key around her/his neck.
On 5/4/22 at 1:04 PM Resident 1 was observed to remove the smoke box key from around her/his neck and pass it to a staff in the smoking area. The staff retrieved cigarettes and left the key in the lock box. At 1:16 PM staff provided Resident 1 with another cigarette, locked the lock box and placed the key around Resident 1's neck.
On 5/4/22 at 3:15 PM Staff 3 (DNS) and Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator) stated it was difficult to keep Resident 1 from obtaining smoking materials, lighters and alcohol and she/he was often intoxicated. Staff 3 stated Resident 1 was re-assessed as a supervised smoker after the accident on 5/3/22. Staff 3 confirmed supervised resident smokers were not to have a personal key to a smoking lock box with smoking materials.
The facility was found to be in an Immediate Jeopardy situation in the area of:
CFR 483.25 Quality of Care, Accidents. This placed residents who smoked at risk for injury and constituted substandard quality of care extended survey.
On 5/4/22 at 5:20 PM the facility was notified of an immediate jeopardy (IJ) situation related to the facility's failure to keep Resident 1 free from burns, and access to smoking material while intoxicated. This failure placed residents at risk of injury.
On 5/4/22 at 6:09 PM an accepted facility plan to remove the IJ situation was submitted by the facility. The plan included the following:
-Resident 1 was reassessed for smoking safety and her/his smoking care plan was reviewed and revised for current needs.
-Other residents who had the potential will be reassessed for current smoking needs and will include risks factors such as alcohol/drug use which could impair their abilities.
-The facility will no longer continue independent resident smoking. The supervised smoking program was reviewed and amended. Education will be provided to residents and staff regarding the new smoking program.
-All smoking lock box keys were obtained from residents and smoking materials were secured by staff.
-Audits weekly for 12 weeks to ensure smoking materials were secured by staff and residents' understanding of the changes.
On 5/5/22 at 10:28 AM the facility was notified the immediacy was removed based on onsite verification that the IJ immediacy plan was implemented, noncompliance remained at isolated with harm to one resident.
Plan of Correction
1) Resident #1 has been reassessed for smoking safety. Smoking Care Plan has been reviewed and revised for current needs.
2) Other Residents have the potential to be affected if the smoking policy is not followed and residents are not smoking safely. Residents that are a part of the Smoking Program are being reassessed for current smoking safety and will account for risky behaviors such as drugs/alcohol that could impair their abilities.
3) The facility will no longer continue with independent smoking. The supervised smoking program was reviewed and amended to include 2 extra times. IDT members (HR Dir, RCM and Assist Admin) provided education to the residents on the new smoking program and obtained new Smoking Contracts from each resident. Smoking materials and lock box keys were obtained from the residents. All smoking material is to be secured by staff. Facility staff have been educated by the DNS or designee about the changes to the smoking program.
4) DNS or designee will audit weekly x12 weeks to ensure that smoking materials are secured by staff and that the smoking policy/program is being followed. Administrator or designee will follow-up with any residents found to be out of compliance with their signed contracts. DNS or designee will hold 3 staff huddles weekly x12 weeks to solicit feedback on the smoking program to determine barriers or challenges. DNS or Designee will interview at least 3 residents weekly x12 weeks to solicit feedback on the smoking program or will hold a weekly group meeting if preferred to solicit feedback to aid in optimal compliance and increased smoking safety. 1:1 remediation will be done for any negative findings.
5) All findings will be brought through QAPI for tracking and trending until resolved.

F0791 Routine/Emergency Dental Srvcs in NFs Severity 2 ▼
Visit 1 · 5/25/2022
Corrected 6/21/2022
Findings
Based on observation, interview, and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure dental services were provided for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 20) reviewed for dental care needs. This placed the resident at risk for unmet dental needs. Findings include:
Resident 20 was admitted to the facility in 6/2021 with diagnoses including dementia.
The 7/2021 Admission MDS revealed Resident 20 had a BIMS of 6 (severe cognitive impairment) and she/he was found to have poor dentition with obvious broken and decayed teeth.
An 8/6/21 Exceptional Needs Dental Service note signed by the dentist was provided by Staff 3 (DNS) on 5/16/22 after, the facility requested documentation from the dental clinic. The note revealed a call for pre-surgical consultation and a referral for the extraction of all of Resident 20's teeth at the hospital was made. The documentation included the resident's inability to care for herself/himself. The resident's treatment and procedure was discussed with her/his care givers.
A 2/10/22 facility progress note revealed " ...resident was asked today if [she/he] would be willing to receive dentures. Consent given. Dentist visiting tomorrow".
A 2/11/22 Exceptional Needs Dental Service note signed by the dentist was provided by Staff 3 on 5/16/22, after the facility requested documentation from the dental clinic. The note revealed a house call was made to see Resident 20. The note evidenced Resident 20 was referred six months prior but the treatment was postponed and Resident 20 was hoping to proceed with the extraction of all of her/his remaining teeth due to severe periodontal disease with severe recession and bone loss, and obvious gingival (gum) inflammation. Resident 20 had about 25 remaining teeth, many of them were fractured and she/he had retained roots (roots visible during clinical oral examination). The note revealed Resident 20 was a candidate for full upper and lower dentures.
The 9/20/21, 12/21/21 and 3/29/22 SNF Social Service Quarterly Summaries revealed "no dental changes" in the dental comments section. There was no documentation regarding the resident's dental condition, dental exam, referrals made for the need of full mouth dental extractions to be completed at the hospital, and the resident's preference to have dentures.
On 5/10/22 at 3:33 PM Witness 3 stated Resident 20 had a dental appointment scheduled in 8/2021 which was canceled by facility staff and no information was provided as to why. She added the resident's 5/3/22 dental appointment was scheduled in 2/2022 and was to be completed at the hospital. Witness 3 stated documents were sent to the facility for completion and to be returned to the Exceptional Needs Dental Clinic but the dental clinic did not get them back. She stated she spoke to Staff 20 (former Social Services Director (SSD)) and was told Staff 20 would accompany Resident 20 to the dental appointment because she/he had no one in her/his life.
On 5/10/22 at 4:15 PM Resident 20 was observed laying in her/his bed. Resident 20 was confused when asked about her/his missed dental appointment, raised her/his hand and said "I don't know". When asked if she/he wanted dentures she/he said "Sure".
On 5/10/22 at 3:45 PM Staff 3 stated she was not aware of any dental appointments for Resident 20 until her/his Medicaid worker contacted the facility in late April. Staff 3 indicated Resident 20 was not seen by the dentist in 2/2022 so she was " ...not sure how this all came about" and stated she could not find any information regarding the resident's dental care needs in her/his health record.
On 5/11/21 at 1:49 PM Witness 7 confirmed Resident 20's 8/10/21 dental appointment for a full mouth extraction was canceled by the facility without any information. She stated on 2/15/22 an appointment was scheduled with the facility for Resident 20 to have a full mouth dental extraction on 5/3/22 and Staff 20 confirmed the surgery date. She stated she sent paperwork for the facility to fill out and returned but it was never received so she called and left a voicemail for Staff 20 on 3/15/22. She did not get a call back from Staff 20 but did get an email from Staff 21 (interim SSD) indicating Resident 20's mental age was only 13, the hospital required a mental capacity of 15 years old and older, and the appointment would need to be canceled.
On 5/23/22 at 1:21 PM Staff 19 (Administrator) was informed there was no documentation in the facility's health record for Resident 20 which would have evidenced Social Services provided sufficient and appropriate supports, including communication, to meet Resident 20's dental care needs. Staff 19 indicated facility staff were working with the resident's Medicaid worker due to her/his low cognitive function and acknowledged this was not started until 4/2022.
Plan of Correction
1. Resident #20 discharged from the facility on 6/9/22.
2. Other Residents have the potential risk of unmet dental needs if dental services are not provided timely. See ongoing audits.
3. IDT meeting was held to include Receptionist, SSD, RCMs, DNS and Administrator in regard to appointment referrals, transportation, and documents needed. The process for missed appointments was also discussed. Each role understands their part to ensure that appointments are not missed and that needed documents are provided as needed.
4. RCMs or designee will audit 3 resident records for referrals/appointments weekly x4 weeks, then monthly x2 months to ensure the process was followed per plan and that it was timely. 1:1 remediation will be done for any negative findings.
5. All findings will be brought through QAPI for tracking and trending until resolved.

Corrected 6/21/2022
Findings
Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure valid certification was current for 1 of 7 (# 18) Certified Medication Aides (CMA) reviewed for staff qualifications. This placed residents at risk of unmet needs. Findings include:
On 5/5/22 review of the facility's nursing staff qualifications found Staff 18's (CMA) licensure expired on 4/16/20.
On 5/5/22 Staff 3 (DNS) was informed of Staff 18's expired CMA licensure. Staff 3 indicated there was a delay in the recertification process due to the COVID-19 pandemic and she would provide a confirmation the recertification was paid for. Staff 3 confirmed Staff 18 continued to work as a CMA for the facility.
On 5/10/22 at 3:30 PM a State of Oregon Verification of Licensure was provided to the survey team by Staff 19 (Administrator). Staff 19 confirmed Staff 18's certification as a CMA expired and stated Staff 22 (former Adminsitrator) stated he helped Staff 18 to reapply for her certification and paid the fee.
On 5/10/22 at 3:45 PM Staff 3 provided Staff 18's schedule as a CMA for 2/2022, 3/2022, and 4/2022. Staff 3 confirmed Staff 18 worked as a CMA in 2/2022, 3/2022, and 4/2022 and stated 4/17/22 was the last day Staff 18 worked as a CMA for the facility.
On 5/11/22 at 11:51 AM and 5/23/22 at 9:49 AM calls made to Staff 18 and voice mails were left requesting her response. No response was received.
On 5/23/22 at 1:21 PM Staff 19 had no documentation to provide regarding Staff 18's CMA recertification or documentation regarding a delay in the application process.
Plan of Correction
1. No specific Residents were specified as being affected. Staff #18 has been removed from the schedule and will not be employed as a Med Tech until her license is current.
2. Residents have the potential risk of unmet needs if the facility fails to ensure valid certification is current for employees. Audit has been done for employee licensure; no other staff were out of compliance.
3. Human Resources has been provided education by the DNS on the process for tracking licensure and notification to the department head (DNS) if staff fail to renew their license prior to expiration to be pulled from the schedule.
4. Administrator will do a monthly audit x3 months to ensure staff have active licensure. 1:1 remediation will be done for any negative findings.
5. All findings will be brought through QAPI for tracking and trending until resolved.

Findings
Based on record review, the facility failed to report complete information about COVID-19 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) during a seven-day period that reporting was required by regulation.
The CDC submitted data from the NHSN to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Based on review of that data, CMS determined that between 01/10/2022 and 01/16/2022, the facility did not report complete information to NHSN about COVID-19 in the standardized format and frequency as specified by CMS and the CDC. This failure to report has the potential to cause more than minimal harm to all residents residing in the facility.
