Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure transfer notices with appeal rights were provided in writing to residents and their representatives, and to ensure the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman was notified of resident hospitalizations for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 36 and 50) reviewed for hospitalizations. This placed residents at risk of lack of access to an advocate to inform them of their options and rights, and a decreased quality of life. Findings include:

1. Resident 36 was admitted to the facility in 5/2022 with a diagnosis of bipolar schizoaffective disorder (mental illness that can affect thoughts, mood, and behavior).

A review of Resident 36's 10/11/23 Quarterly MDS Assessment revealed she/he was cognitively intact.

A review of Resident 36's nursing progress notes revealed she/he was discharged to the hospital on 6/28/23 due to hypokalemia (low blood potassium level) and was readmitted to the facility on 7/3/23.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide residents with a written notice of the facility's bed-hold policy at the time of transfer to the hospital for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 36 and 50) reviewed for hospitalization. This placed residents at risk for lack of knowledge regarding their choices and potential financial responsibilities. Findings include:

The facility's 11/28/17 Bed-Hold Readmission policy indicated "Facilities are required by Federal regulation to have policies addressing holding a resident's bed during periods of absence such as hospitalization or therapeutic leave. Additionally, facilities provide this written information about these policies to residents prior to and upon transfer for such absences."

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident's records were complete and accurate for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#56) reviewed for change of condition. This placed residents at risk for incomplete clinical records. Findings include:

Resident 56 was admitted to the facility in 7/2023 with a diagnosis of dementia.

A Progress Note dated 12/19/23 indicated the resident was referred for hospice services but it was unclear if the referral was completed.

The care plan further indicated staff were to keep all smoking paraphernalia locked up in a separate storage container for safety and encouraged Resident 51 to smoke during designated smoking times.

Observations conducted between 11/29/22 and 12/7/22 revealed posted smoking times of 8:30 AM and 7:00 PM.

On 11/30/22 at 10:03 AM Resident 51 stated she/he kept a lighter on her/himself so she/he could smoke in the smoking area at her/his own leisure.

On 12/1/22 at 8:34 AM Resident 51 was observed outside in the smoking area during the designated smoking time with staff present and lit her/his own cigarette.

On 12/1/22 at 10:11 AM Staff 13 (RN) stated staff used their own discretion to determine if a resident could or could not smoke on their own despite this being against facility policy. Staff 13 indicated she was aware Resident 51 had a lighter on her/himself.

On 12/1/22 at 4:07 PM findings were discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) who provided no additional information. At 5:00 PM Staff 1 stated all lighters and paraphernelia were confiscated from Resident 51.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were free from unnecessary antibiotics for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#27) reviewed for antibiotic use. This placed residents at risk for adverse medication effects and antibiotic resistance. Findings include:

Resident 27 was admitted to the facility on 11/3/22 with diagnoses including schizophrenia.

Resident 27's 10/28/22 Admission Orders included an order for Bactrim (antibiotic) 400-80 mg daily for UTI prophylaxis (prevention) for 90 days with a start date of 8/4/22.

Resident 27's 11/2022 and 12/2022 signed physician orders revealed orders for Bactrim to start on 11/3/22 and the orders did not include a stop date for the Bactrim.

Resident 27's 11/2022 and 12/2022 MARs revealed the resident received Bactrim everyday from 11/3/22 through 12/2/22 for a total of 120 days, which exceeded the prescribed duration by 31 days.

On 12/2/22 at 12:16 PM Staff 6 (RNCM) reviewed Resident 27's admission order for Bactrim. Staff 6 confirmed the Bactrim order included "for 90 days with a start date of 8/4/22" and confirmed a stop date was not transcribed to Resident 27's MARs. Staff 6 stated she failed to obtain clarification of the Bactrim order from the provider and the antibiotic was administered beyond the ordered duration.

On 12/6/22 at 1:07 PM Staff 2 (DNS) stated new admission orders were checked using a two nurse system. Staff 2 confirmed the stop date was not included on the physician order and MARs and Resident 27 received the Bactrim beyond the prescribed duration.

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to honor food choices for one of two sampled residents (#32) reviewed for choices. This placed residents at risk of not being allowed to make choices related to their food preferences. Findings include:

Resident 32 was admitted to the facility in 12/2020 with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type (a mental health disorder which includes episodes of mania and sometimes major depression).

On 11/29/22 at 1:49 PM Resident 32 stated she/he did not like scrambled eggs. She/he stated she/he told caregivers she/he did not like eggs and could not eat them but the kitchen continued to give her/him scrambled eggs.

A review of Resident 32's 12/2/22 meal tickets revealed scrambled eggs listed as an item the resident disliked.

On 12/2/22 at 1:14 PM Staff 12 (Culinary Manager) stated he used resident information from the resident's health record to create a list of dietary preferences. Staff 12 stated resident dietary preferences were included on each meal ticket so the kitchen staff were aware of them when they prepared each tray and confirmed eggs were listed as food dislikes on Resident 32's meal ticket. Staff 12 stated Resident 32 "absolutely has the right to choose" and her/his breakfasts should not contain eggs.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure accurate resident medical records for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 11 and 46) reviewed for pre-admission screening with serious mental illness. This placed residents with mental health diagnoses at risk for a lack of appropriate mental health services. Findings include:

A PASRR (Preadmission Screening and Resident Review) Level I is an assessment completed prior to admission to a Medicaid Certified Nursing Facility to determine if an individual has a mental illness or intellectual disability.

1. Resident 11 was admitted to the facility on 4/21/22 with diagnoses including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

The signed 4/20/22 Pre-Admission Screening/Resident Review (PASRR) Level 1 form revealed Resident 11 had no serious mental illness indicators.

The 4/20/22 Admission MDS assessment revealed Resident 11 was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder diagnoses and she/he received antipsychotics.

On 12/1/22 at 5:00 PM Staff 1 (Administrator) stated Resident 11 was admitted to the facility from the Veteran's Administration (VA) hospital. He stated a lot of the time the VA does the PASRR Level 1 paperwork the day the resident was admitting and it may not be accurate.

On 12/2/22 at 3:07 PM Staff 8 (Social Services Manager) stated the resident's schizophrenia and bipolar disorder diagnoses were accurate. She confirmed the PASRR Level I form was completed incorrectly.

On 12/2/22 at 3:45 PM Staff 1 was informed of the findings. He had no additional information to provide.

On 12/5/22 at 11:34 AM Staff 8 (Social Services Manager) confirmed Resident 46's PASRR Level I was not accurrate.

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure staff performed appropriate and adequate hand hygiene during meal delivery for 1 of 2 halls observed during dining. This placed residents at risk for infection. Findings include:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website section titled, "Hand Hygiene in Healthcare Settings" indicated healthcare personnel should use an alcohol based hand rub (ABHR) or wash with soap and water immediately after touching a patient and the patient's immediate environment. Healthcare facilities should require healthcare personnel to perform hand hygiene in accordance with CDC recommendations.

The facility's 2/11/22 Hand Hygiene Policy and Procedure indicated hand hygiene was the single most important procedure for preventing the spread of infection. Hand hygiene consists of either washing with soap and water or ABHR. Opportunities for hand hygiene included before entering a resident room, before preparing food and before handling food.

On 11/29/22 from 11:30 AM to 11:38 AM Staff 9 (CNA), Staff 10 (CNA) and Staff 11 (CNA) delivered meal trays to rooms one through eight, for a total of 24 residents. During the meal tray delivery, Staff 9, Staff 10 and Staff 11 touched items within each of the residents' immediate environment and moved items on the residents' overbed tables to clear a space for the meal dishes, utensils and drinkware. Staff 9, Staff 10 and Staff 11 touched the residents' individual privacy curtains, television remotes and other personal items. Upon completion of each resident's meal delivery, Staff 9, Staff 10 and Staff 11 exited the room, opened the meal delivery cart and retrieved the next resident's meal tray. Throughout the meal delivery observation, Staff 9 and Staff 10 performed hand hygiene one time upon exit of a room and Staff 11 did not perform hand hygiene at all.

On 11/29/22 at 11:38 AM Staff 9, Staff 10 and Staff 11 confirmed they touched and moved items in each of the resident's immediate environment during the meal delivery. Staff 11 stated she did not perform hand hygiene during the meal delivery and it should have been performed between each resident. Staff 9 and Staff 10 stated they performed hand hygiene once during the meal delivery and acknowledged hand hygiene opportunities were missed between each resident.

On 12/7/22 at 9:59 AM Staff 2 (DNS) was informed of Staff 9's, Staff 10's and Staff 11's lack of hand hygiene during the meal delivery and before and after handling items within each of the resident's immediate environment.

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 07/25/2022 and 07/31/2022, 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.
