This Rule is not met as evidenced by:

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN completed an assessment which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 2 of 3 sampled resident (#s 1 and 3) who experienced significant changes of condition related to loss/gain of weight. Findings include, but are not limited to:

1. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 03/2020 with diagnoses including chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure, malignant neoplasm of unspecified ovary, and shortness of breath. Additionally, the resident’s hospital discharge notes included a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Clinical records, including the current service plan, dated 01/24/25, TARs from 12/01/24 through 02/28/25, and physician orders were reviewed.

According to the resident's TARs, the resident's weight was scheduled to be taken on the third Wednesday of each month.

The following weights were recorded by the facility:

* 09/18/24 – 106.5 pounds;
* No weight was recorded in 10/2024;
* 11/26/24 – 118.0 pounds;
* 12/30/24 – 118.5 pounds;
* 01/15/25 – 119.0 pounds;
* 01/19/25 – 0 pounds; and
* 02/19/25 – 119.0 pounds.

The resident experienced a 12.0 pound weight gain, or 10.12% of his/her total body weight, in three months (09/18/24 through 12/30/24). This represented a significant change of condition.

There was no documented evidence the facility RN conducted assessments which included documentation of findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessments.

The resident refused to be weighed and ate independently in his/her room.

The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for all residents who experienced a significant change of condition was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 25 (RN), and Staff 3 (Wellness Director) on 03/06/25 at 1:28 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

2. Resident 3 was admitted in 09/2024 with diagnosis including diabetes, cardiomegaly, and kidney disease.

Clinical records, including the current service plan, TARs from 12/01/24 through 02/28/25, observation notes from 12/03/24 through 03/03/25 were reviewed, and interviews with the resident and facility staff were conducted. The following changes of condition were identified:

a. The following weights were recorded by the facility:

* 11/26/24 - 370 lbs;
* 12/30/24 - 375 lbs;
* 01/15/25 - 356 lbs =19 pound or 5% weight loss; and
* 02/26/25 - 380 lbs = 24 pound or 6.75% weight gain.

The resident experienced a 19 pound weight loss, or 5% of his/her total body weight, in 15 days (12/30/24 through 01/15/25), and a 24 pound gain, or 6.75% weight gain in one month (01/15/25 through 02/26/25).

A meal observation was completed at 12:45 on 03/04/25, Resident 3 ate independently, and completed close to 100% of the meal.

A second meal observation was completed on 03/05/25, Resident 3 ate approximately 75% of the meal independently.

The most recent weight available for Resident 3 was taken on 02/26/25 and recorded as 380 lbs.

There was no documented evaluation of the weight changes. The unexplained weight changes constituted significant changes of condition.

There was no documented evidence the facility RN assessed the weight changes, including documentation of findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessments.

b. On 01/13/25 Resident 3 was admitted to the hospital.

Observation notes dated 01/14/25 documented: “mobility needs have changed... one person assist with all transfers and wheelchair necessity not walker”.

Resident 3 returned to the facility on 01/15/25 with five medication changes, using a wheelchair instead of a walker, and requiring a one person assist with ADLs they had been previously independent with.

The changes constituted a major deviation from the most recent evaluation that affected multiple areas of functioning and were not expected to be short term.

There was no documented evidence the facility RN assessed the changes, including documentation of findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessments.

c. On 02/13/25 Resident 3 was hospitalized. An observation note dated 02/17/25 documented “Change of Condition Assessment needed by RN due to coming back with oxygen orders of 2 liter continuous” and while at the hospital “had 10 liters of fluid removed and IV antibiotics”.

A change of condition evaluation was completed by Staff 25 (RN) three days later, on 2/20/25, and documented Resident 3 had not had any hospital admissions in the past year.

The need to ensure a timely and accurate RN assessment was completed for all residents who experienced a significant change of condition was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 25 (RN), and Staff 3 (Wellness Director) on 03/06/25 at 3:28 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Garbage cans throughout the kitchen were left uncovered when not in use.The areas that required cleaning and repair were observed and discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 10/31/22 at 11:22 am. She acknowledged the findings. Staff 1 was asked to begin cleaning immediately. Upon re-inspection of the kitchen on 11/01/22, surfaces throughout the kitchen were clean.

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to provide a daily program of social and recreational activities based upon individual and group interests, and physical, mental, and psychosocial needs. Findings include, but are not limited to:The facility provided the survey team with the monthly activity calendar for November 2022. Each day, the calendar indicated multiple activities were scheduled from 9:30 am until 3:00 pm. Activities included:* Morning workout or morning walk;* Painting;* Games; * BINGO;* Relax with friends;* Trivia; and* Movie night.On 11/01/22 and 11/02/22, residents organized and led their own BINGO activity. On 11/03/22, Staff 6 (Activity Director) led a BINGO activity from 9:30 am until approximately 11:00 am in which nine residents attended and participated. None of the other scheduled activities were observed to occur during the survey.During a group interview, conducted by the survey team on 11/02/22, multiple unsampled residents reported:* There weren't many activities;* Activities often were canceled;* They didn't feel some activities were age-appropriate;* Fitness activities didn't occur and they wished the facility had exercise equipment;* There weren't activities developed specifically for the male residents; and* The facility van's license plates had not been renewed so the facility could not offer outings as activities for the residents.The lack of a daily program of social and recreational activities was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) and Staff 6 on 11/04/22. They acknowledged the facility was not providing activities that were scheduled and needed to improve the current activity program.

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident evaluations were completed before the resident moved into the facility, at least quarterly and following a significant change of condition, that initial evaluations addressed all required elements and that evaluations were reflective of the resident's current status, for 3 of 5 sampled residents (#s 3, 4 and 5) whose evaluations were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to:1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), anxiety disorder, chronic pain syndrome and long-term use of opiate analgesic medications.a. In an interview on 11/04/22, Staff 1 (Administrator) acknowledged she did not begin entering Resident 3's initial evaluation information into the facility electronic documentation system until three days after the resident was admitted and did not complete the evaluation until 18 days after admission.b. The initial evaluation failed to address the following elements with sufficient information to develop an initial service plan:* Customary routines: sleeping, eating, bathing;* Interests, hobbies, social and leisure activities;* Spiritual, cultural preferences and traditions;* Mental health: history of treatment and effective non-pharmacological interventions;* Pain: description and non-pharmaceutical interventions;* Fluid preferences;* Emergency evacuation ability;* Complex medication regimen;* History of dehydration or unexplained weight loss or gain;* Elopement history or risk; and* Environmental factors that impact the resident's behavior including, but not limited to: noise, lighting, room temperature.The need to ensure the initial evaluation addressed all elements and was completed prior to the resident's admission was reviewed with Staff 1 and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) on 11/04/22. They acknowledged the deficiencies.2. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 03/2016 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, COPD, seizures, diabetes mellitus - type 2, neuropathy and pain.The record indicated Resident 5 was hospitalized from 09/30/22 through 10/05/22 for exacerbation of seizure activity. Prior to the hospital stay, the resident's 05/13/22 service plan and interviews with staff indicated the resident was independent for most ADLs including transfers, mobility and toileting. Upon return to the facility, the resident had a Foley catheter, and was unable to bear weight, requiring multiple staff and a Hoyer lift for transfers in and out of bed.The resident experienced a significant change of condition in status and care needs following the hospitalization. The resident's evaluation was not updated for staff to reflect the changes in status and care needs until 10/24/22 - 19 days after the changes occurred. The need to ensure resident evaluations were updated timely following a significant change of condition was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) on 11/04/22. They acknowledged the evaluation was not updated timely.
3. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 10/2020 with diagnoses including arthritis and gait disorder.The resident's record indicated that s/he received wound care from an outpatient provider on 08/04/22 who documented the presence of wounds on both the left foot and right toe. Review of the resident's progress notes, dated 07/31/22 through 10/30/22, revealed no documented evaluation of the wound on the resident's right toe.The resident experienced a significant change of condition following the identification of a right toe wound. The resident's service plan, dated 08/20/22, was not updated with changes to the resident's care needs.The need to ensure evaluations were completed timely following a significant change of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) on 11/04/22 at 1:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

4. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in 01/2021. a. During the acuity interview on 10/31/22, facility staff stated current service plans available to staff were located in a binder at the front desk. Review of the binder revealed Resident 6's service plan, available to staff, was dated 10/12/21 (a year old). In an interview with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 10/31/22, she acknowledged the service plan available to staff was not current. She stated the most recent service plan had to be printed from her computer. A copy of the recent service plan, dated 09/19/22, was printed and given to the surveyor.b. Interviews with care staff, observations and an interview with Resident 6, and review of the clinical record revealed the service plan, dated 09/19/22, was not reflective of the resident's needs and lacked clear direction regarding the delivery of services in the following areas:* Skin wounds;* Application of lotion;* Use of a fall mat;* Dressing assistance;* Personal hygiene/grooming assistance;* Continence care;* Bathing assistance;* Daily housekeeping services;* Oxygen flow rate; and* Activity participation/socialization.The need to ensure the current service plan was available to staff, was reflective of Resident 6's care needs, and provided clear direction was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) during an interview on 11/04/22. They acknowledged the findings. No further information was provided.
Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident service plans were completed before move-in and following quarterly evaluations and significant changes of condition, were reflective of the resident's current status, included a written description of the services to be provided and were readily available to staff, for 6 of 6 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to:1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), anxiety disorder, chronic pain syndrome and long-term use of opiate analgesic medications.Review of the record indicated Resident 3's service plan was not completed until 18 days after s/he was admitted to the facility.The need to ensure resident service plans were completed prior to move-in was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) on 11/04/22. They acknowledged the findings.2. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 03/2016 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, COPD, seizures, diabetes mellitus - type 2, neuropathy and pain.The record indicated Resident 5 experienced a significant change of condition that affected his/her status and care needs upon returning from a hospitalization on 10/05/22. The resident's service plan was not updated to reflect the changes in status and care needs until 10/24/22 - 19 days after the changes occurred.Refer to C 252, example 2.
3. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 10/2020 with diagnoses including arthritis.The resident's current service plan dated 08/20/22 was reviewed, observations were made, and interviews were conducted between 10/31/22 and 11/04/22. Resident 4's service plan was not reflective, did not provide clear instruction to staff and/or was not followed in the following areas:* Transfer status;* Fall interventions;* Toileting status;* Skin wounds; and* Alcohol consumption including the need for increased safety checks.The need to ensure service plans were reflective of the identified needs of the resident, provided clear direction to staff, and were followed by staff was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) on 11/04/22 at 1:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
5. Resident 1 and Resident 2 were admitted to the facility in 09/2017.Service plans for Resident 1 and Resident 2, available for review to this surveyor and to the staff, were dated 02/15/22. On 11/02/22, updated service plans for Resident 1 and Resident 2, dated 10/31/22, were provided to this surveyor by Staff 1 (Administrator). The need to ensure service plans were completed quarterly after the resident moved into the facility was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) on 11/04/22. They acknowledged the findings.

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure service plans were developed by a Service Planning Team that included the resident, the resident's legal representative if applicable, any person of the resident's choice, the Administrator or designee, at least one other staff person who was familiar with or who was going to provide services to the resident for 6 of 6 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6). As applicable, the Service Planning Team must also include local APD or AAA Case Managers and family invited by the resident, and a licensed nurse if the resident shall need or is receiving nursing services or experienced a significant change of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to:Current service plans for Residents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 were reviewed during the survey. The service plans lacked evidence a Service Planning Team reviewed and participated in the development of the service plans. The need to ensure service plans were developed by a Service Planning Team was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) on 11/04/22. They acknowledged the findings.

3. Resident 6 was admitted in 01/2021 and had a history of falls, skin breakdown and congestive heart failure.During the entrance conference on 10/31/22, staff reported the resident had a recent significant overall decline in health and weight loss. The clinical record, progress notes, hospital discharge summaries, and facility weights were reviewed from 04/2022 through 10/31/22, and an interview with the resident on 10/31/22 revealed the following:a. Resident 6, who was alert and oriented, was interviewed on 10/31/22. During the interview, s/he said s/he eats in his/her room, had a poor appetite, often refused meals, and had lost weight.On 08/13/22, a staff MT documented in progress notes that the resident had "unplanned weight loss suspected ...loss of appetite ..."On 08/26/22, a progress note written by Staff 24 (former LPN) indicated the resident had "not been eating well and has been losing weight ..."Facility weight records and hospital discharge summaries revealed the following weights:* 04/26/22: 159.8 lbs.* 05/12/22: 147.9 lbs.* 08/26/22: 124.0 lbs.* 09/23/22: 135.8 lbs.* 10/21/22: 139.1 lbs.Staff obtained the resident's weight on 11/02/22. Resident 6 weighed 140 lbs.Resident 6 weighed 159.8 pounds in 04/2022. On 10/21/22, the resident's weight dropped to 139.1 pounds, which was a loss of 20.7 pounds or 12.9% loss in six months which constituted a severe loss and significant change in condition.There was no evidence the facility evaluated the weight loss, referred the significant change to the facility RN, or updated the service plan. b. A progress note, written by an MT on 08/13/22, indicated the resident had "shown the following signs of a significant change in condition: uncontrolled pain, fast decline in activities of daily living, unplanned weight loss suspected, level of consciousness change, loss of appetite. Has been put on alert for change in condition."The facility failed to refer to the facility RN for assessment and update the service plan to reflect the change in condition. c. Resident 6 fell five times between 08/01/22 and 10/12/22. Review of the record revealed no documented evidence the facility consistently monitored and documented on the progress of the resident's condition at least weekly until resolved. Additionally, the facility failed to consistently evaluate if service-planned interventions were implemented, were effective, or if new interventions were needed. d. Between 09/01/22 and 10/03/22, Resident 6 was sent to the hospital on four occasions and returned with diagnoses including, but not limited to: foot cellulitis, head trauma, foot pain, pneumonia and decreased level of consciousness. The facility initiated short-term monitoring. However, ongoing monitoring did not continue until resolution for the short-term changes in condition.The need to ensure the facility monitored and documented on the progress of short-term changes in condition at least weekly until resolved, determined if fall interventions were implemented, effective or if new interventions were needed, ensured significant changes of condition were evaluated, referred to the facility RN for assessment, and the service plan updated was shared with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) on 11/04/22 at 10:20 am. They acknowledged the findings. No further information was provided.
2. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 03/2016 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), seizures, diabetes mellitus - type 2, neuropathy and pain.During the entrance conference on 10/31/22, staff reported the resident had a recent overall decline in health, had been hospitalized and was now bedbound.The clinical record, progress notes and hospital and PCP visit summaries from 08/01/22 through 10/31/22 were reviewed. Facility staff and the resident were interviewed. The following deficiencies were identified:a. Between 08/11/22 and 10/18/22, the resident had nine falls in his/her apartment. There was no documented evidence the facility:* Reviewed each fall to determine whether service-planned fall interventions were being followed, were effective or whether different or additional interventions needed to be implemented to prevent further falls; and* Ensured staff instructions or interventions were resident-specific and made part of the resident record with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved.b. The resident sustained several minor injuries from the falls including bruising and skin tears.* There was no documented evidence the facility determined, documented and communicated to staff what actions or interventions were needed for the resident; and* The facility failed to monitor the injuries with weekly progress noted until the conditions resolved.c. The resident was hospitalized three times for reports of chest pains or exacerbation of respiratory conditions.* For two of the incidents, there was no documented evidence the facility determined, documented and communicated to staff what actions or interventions were needed for the resident and monitored the resident with weekly progress noted until the conditions resolved; and* The facility failed to make staff instructions or interventions part of the resident record.d. Resident 5 was hospitalized from 09/30/22 through 10/05/22 for exacerbation of seizure activity. Prior to the hospital stay, the resident's 05/13/22 service plan and interviews with staff indicated the resident was independent for most ADLs including transfers, mobility and toileting. Upon return to the facility, the resident had a Foley catheter, and was unable to bear weight, requiring multiple staff and a Hoyer lift for transfers in and out of bed.The change in status and care needs following the hospitalization represented a significant change of condition. Though the facility nurse documented some of the resident's changes, the facility failed to update the resident's service plan with specific instructions for staff as to how to meet Resident 5's care needs regarding transfers, mobility, toileting, catheter care and other ADLs.The need for the facility to develop and implement an effective system for responding to resident changes of condition that included review of service-planned interventions, development, documentation and communication of instructions for staff that were made part of the resident's record and monitoring of conditions until resolved, was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) on 11/04/22. They acknowledged the findings.
Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to determine and document what actions or interventions were needed for changes of condition including resident specific instructions communicated to staff on each shift, weekly progress documented until the condition resolved and/or the facility failed to refer significant changes of condition to the facility RN for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 4, 5 and 6) who had changes of condition. Resident 4 did not receive consistent and ordered wound care and the resident's wound worsened and caused distress to the resident. Findings include, but are not limited to:1. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 10/2020 with diagnoses including gait disorder and lichen planus (inflammation of the skin).During the entrance conference interview on 10/31/22, Resident 4 was identified as receiving home health services for lower leg edema. Resident 4 was interviewed on 11/01/22 at 9:35 am and reported to have wounds on both his/her left and right feet. The wounds were visualized at that time with the resident's permission. The left foot had approximately a quarter-sized wound on the left side. The right foot had a visible wound on the second toe with a crusty black coating. Neither wound was bandaged. The resident reported the facility did not check on his/her wounds regularly, s/he was not receiving home health services, and the wound clinic frequently canceled appointments due to lack of staff.a. Resident 4's medical records were examined. The first documentation of a right toe wound occurred on 08/04/22 following an outpatient wound care visit. The clinic identified the location of the wound as the right lateral side of the second toe with orders to "change dressing every other day or as needed for excessive drainage," "cleanse wounds on dressing days with soap and water," "apply Collagen dressing to wound bed as directed," and "Band-Aid applied over Prisma layer." The service plan, dated 08/20/22, progress notes, dated 07/31/22 through 10/30/22, and MARs, dated 08/2022 through 10/2022, were reviewed and there was no monitoring of the wound, no documentation of when it originated or when the RN was made aware of it.On 11/02/22 at 9:20 am, the resident's wounds were observed with Staff 2 (RN - Wellness Director) and an RN surveyor. Staff 2 documented the assessment on 11/02/22 and indicated the resident had an open 2 cm x 3 cm wound on top and proximally surrounding the right second and third toe with mild clear-yellow discharge. At 11:09 am on 11/02/22, Staff 2 reported she was not previously aware of the resident's right toe ulcers and her first assessment of the resident's lower extremity wounds was completed by direction of this surveyor on 11/02/22. She also stated there was no documentation by the facility of the resident's right toe wounds, and Staff 11 (CG) completed all basic wound treatments for the resident and home health completed all other wound care. Staff 2 was unaware the resident's wound care clinic appointments had been canceled by the clinic due to lack of staff. When questioned about her job duties, Staff 2 then stated she was hired to complete delegation tasks only and she was made aware of other nursing issues when caregiving staff or residents told her of problems directly. The facility's policy was reviewed on 11/04/22. According to the policies and procedures, a "Nursing Comprehensive Evaluation" must be completed by an RN following a significant change of condition. Regarding coordination of care, the RN was responsible to discuss options to address resident's needs with the resident when services could not be provided by the community. Moreover, the RN was responsible for coordination of care and required documentation.On 11/02/22 at 11:30 am, Staff 11 reported she completed basic wound care for the resident at least every other shift she worked. This included the use of cleanser, antibiotic ointment and covering with a Band-Aid. She went on to state she did not document any wound care she completed, and any concerns about the resident's wounds were reported to the RN or RCC. There was no documented evidence the facility was providing the wound care ordered by the outpatient wound clinic.Resident 4 was seen on 11/02/22 at his/her primary care physician's office with instructions to start antibiotics for the toe ulcer, directions for wound cleaning and instructions to return to the office for a follow-up visit in one week.An immediate plan of action to address the resident's wound care, until home health services began, was requested of the facility and approved by this surveyor on 11/04/22.The facility failed to identify and evaluate the resident's right toe ulcer, refer to the facility RN following a significant change of condition, determine and document interventions regarding the ulcer, communicate the interventions to staff and monitor the resident according to his/her evaluated needs. The resident's right second toe wound worsened to include the third toe.b. During an interview with Resident 4 on 11/01/22, s/he reported a wound on the left foot.Resident 4's progress notes, dated 07/31/22 through 10/30/22 were reviewed for changes of condition related to the left foot wound and revealed the following information: * 08/03/22 - "Remove from Alert Charting...Residents [sic] [left] foot ulcer is being monitored in house by this nurse and treated by this nurse in between [his/her] trips to off-site wound care...Residents [sic] wound continues to improve ...";* 08/26/22 - "Residents [sic] wound care was canceled again today...at this time this nurse is following orders from the wound care facility";* 09/27/22 - "Resident was getting upset, because [s/he] wanted to see a doctor or a nurse to do wound care on [his/her] feet...[s/he] requested to go to the ER [emergency room]"; and* 10/19/22 - "Resident came back from ...ER with diagnosis of Neuropathy and Chronic foot ulcer ..."On 11/02/22 at 11:30 am, Staff 11 reported she completed basic wound care for the resident at least every other shift she worked, but she did not document any wound care she completed.There was no documented evidence the facility identified resident specific interventions regarding the left foot wound, communicated the interventions to all staff and then monitored the resident according to his/her evaluated needs.c. Resident 4's progress notes, dated 07/31/22 through 10/30/22, service plan, dated 08/20/22, and ISP, dated 08/19/22 were reviewed and revealed the following:The following short-term changes of condition lacked evidence resident-specific actions or interventions were determined, documented and communicated to staff:* 08/20/22 - Fall with injury; and* 10/22/22 - Non-injury fall.The following short-term changes of condition lacked documented evidence the resident's determined actions or interventions were monitored through resolution:* 08/11/22 - New prescription for meloxicam (for arthritis) and Tylenol #3 (for pain);* 08/20/22 - Fall with injury;* 09/15/22 - New prescription for amlodipine (for high blood pressure) and the discontinuation of sertraline (for depression), Zofran (for nausea) and Tylenol PRN (for pain); and* 10/22/22 - Non-injury fall.The need to ensure changes of condition were identified, reported to RN if determined to be a significant change of condition, interventions determined, documented and communicated to staff with monitoring occurring per the residents' evaluated needs was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 8 (Receptionist) on 11/04/22 at 1:00 pm. The findings were acknowledged, and no additional documentation was provided.

3. Resident 6 was admitted in 01/2021 and had a history of skin breakdown and poor appetite. a. Facility progress notes, weight records, MARs and the current service plan, reviewed from 04/2022 through 10/31/22, revealed the following:Resident 6 weighed 159.8 pounds in 04/26/22. On 10/21/22, the resident's weight dropped to 139.1 pounds, which was a loss of 20.7 pounds or 12.9% loss in six months which constituted a severe loss and significant change in condition.There was no documented facility RN assessment to address the weight loss.Refer to C 270, example 3a.b. On 08/13/22, a facility MT documented in progress notes that the resident had "shown the following signs of a significant change in condition: uncontrolled pain, fast decline in activities of daily living, unplanned weight loss suspected, level of consciousness change, loss of appetite. Has been put on alert for change in condition."There was no documented evidence the facility RN conducted an assessment.During an interview on 11/02/22 at 12:15 pm, Staff 2 (RN - Wellness Director) acknowledged the lack of documented RN assessments for the significant changes in condition. The need to ensure documented RN assessments for significant changes in condition was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) on 11/04/22 at 10:20 am. They acknowledged the findings. No further information was provided.
2. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 03/2016 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), seizures, diabetes mellitus - type 2, neuropathy and pain.During the entrance conference on 10/31/22, staff reported the resident had a recent overall decline in health, had been hospitalized and was now bedbound.The clinical record, progress notes and hospital and PCP visit summaries from 08/01/22 through 10/31/22 were reviewed. Facility staff and the resident were interviewed.Resident 5 was hospitalized from 09/30/22 through 10/05/22 for exacerbation of seizure activity. Prior to the hospital stay, the resident's 05/13/22 service plan and interviews with staff indicated the resident was independent for most ADLs including transfers, mobility and toileting. Upon return to the facility, the resident had a Foley catheter, and was unable to bear weight, requiring multiple staff and a Hoyer lift for transfers in and out of bed.The change in status and care needs following the hospitalization represented a significant change of condition. There was no documented evidence the facility RN completed an assessment of the resident which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of this assessment.The need to ensure the facility RN completed an assessment of a resident with a significant change of condition was reviewed with Staff 2 (RN - Wellness Director) on 11/02/22 and with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) on 11/04/22. They acknowledged no assessment had been completed by the facility RN as required.
Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure health services were provided according to the facility's policy and per the resident condition, including ensuring the RN performed an assessment and interventions were developed based on the condition of the resident, and/or providing facility-arranged temporary or intermittent nursing services when services were not available through a third-party provider, for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 4, 5 and 6) who experienced significant changes of condition. Resident 4 experienced worsening wounds on the right foot. Findings include, but are not limited to:1. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 10/2020 with diagnoses including gait disorder and lichen planus (irritation of the skin).Progress notes, dated 05/09/22 through 10/30/22, and MARs, dated 08/2022 through 10/2022, were reviewed. Observations and interviews with staff were completed between 10/31/22 and 11/04/22 and revealed the following:Resident 4 had open wounds on the left foot and the right second and third toes which indicated a significant change of condition and required an RN assessment. There was no documented evidence the wounds were assessed by the facility RN with resident specific interventions created related to the change of condition. Additionally, there was no evidence the facility provided temporary nursing services when the resident's care needs could not be met through other third party providers. This resulted in worsening right toe wounds.The need to ensure documented RN assessments were completed and intermittent nursing services were provided when not available through a third-party provider was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 8 (Administrative Assistant) on 11/04/22 at 1:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings and no further information was provided.Refer to C 270, example 1a and 1b.

2. Resident 6 was admitted in 01/2021 and had a history of skin breakdown and weight loss.During the entrance conference interview on 10/31/22, staff indicated Resident 6 had lost weight and currently had skin breakdown that was being treated by home health nursing services.a. On 10/31/22 at 1:40 pm, the surveyor observed that Resident 6's left lower leg was wrapped with bandages. S/he explained the wound was bandaged by "home care." During the interview, an RN from home health arrived to perform wound care. The resident's clinical record revealed the resident sustained a laceration to his/her left lower leg on 06/23/22. Home health was initiated in 07/2022 and continued as of the survey. However, there was no on-going documentation left by home health, no wound care instructions in the event staff needed to provide supplemental care as needed, and no evidence the facility implemented recommendations that were provided by home health. In an interview on 11/03/22 at 9:50 am, Staff 11 (MT) said she was unsure what to do if she needed to change the dressing on the resident's leg. She reviewed the MAR and stated it lacked wound care instructions in the event the bandages needed to be changed/re-applied.b.
