Resident 47 with dignity and respect, when he
was observed dressed in badly stained tee
shirts, poorly-fitting clothes, had copious
drooling, and his hair was uncombed. This
failure had the potential to cause Resident 47
psychological harm due to his family reducing
their visits based on his appearance.
Findings:
During an interview on 1/31/18 at 10:15 a.m.,
Family Member 2 stated that she had not
recently had the opportunity to come out to the
facility to visit with Resident 47. Family Member
2 stated her friends had visited Resident 47,
and reported to her that Resident 47 was never
out of bed, always looked dirty, and generally
unkempt. Family Member 2 stated she did not
think the facility was taking care of his eyes;
they seemed to be getting worse in her opinion.
During observation on 01/31/18 at 03:16 a.m.,
Resident 47 was dressed poorly with his pants
and shirt stained, his socks sliding off, and his
eyes red and hair disheveled. On 2/1/18 at
9:20 a.m. Resident 47 continued to be dressed
poorly and had a towel under his chin while
sleeping, with some red drainage from his
mouth. The CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant)
came to replace a blanket that had fallen to the
floor, but did not remove or replace the towel
with a clean one.
During a concurrent observation and interview
on 1/31/18 at 12:10 p.m., Resident 47's clothes
were in the closet: There were five tee shirts,
and all five tee shirts had large stains on the
left side of the shirt. The stains were about 12
inches long by 6 inches wide. Resident 47 had
other dark-colored shirts, but was not observed
wearing any of them. CNA B was asked why he
did not where the other shirts. CNA B stated
Resident 47 preferred tee shirts.

During an interview on 1/31/18 at 12 p.m., the
Social Services Director stated the facility
frequently received clothing donations. When
asked why Resident 47 was wearing stained
clothing and clothing too big for him, the Social
Services Director stated she was waiting for
Resident 47's wife to come in.
During an interview on 1/31/18 at 4:45 p.m.,
the ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing),
Manager for the Dementia Unit, where
Resident 47 resided, stated the unit had a, "No
Name Closet" which housed the donations of
clothing. The process was for CNA's to report a
lack of or need for, clothing to the nurse, who
was to report the need to the ADON, who
would report to the Social Services Director,
who called the family. If family was unwilling or
unable to provide, then the clothing was
selected and given to the resident in need. This
was not done for Resident 47.
The facility policy and procedure titled,
"Resident Rights," dated January 1, 2012,
indicated: "...Employees are to treat all
residents with kindness, respect, and dignity
and honor the exercise of residents'
rights...Residents are encouraged to participate
in resident and family group
meetings...Personal care needs, such as
bathing methods, grooming styles and dress."

Based on the comprehensive assessment of a
resident, the facility must ensure that(i) A resident receives care, consistent with
professional standards of practice, to prevent
pressure ulcers and does not develop pressure
ulcers unless the individual's clinical condition
demonstrates that they were unavoidable; and

new ulcers from developing.

Based on interview, clinical record and facility
document review, the facility failed to document
progress of wound healing for Resident 1
during wound decline. This failure caused a
delay in access of outside sources of care and
may have contributed to the infection that
spread to Resident 1's blood.
Findings:
During an interview on 5/2/17 at 12:40 p.m.,
the Treatment Nurse stated the facility was
constantly making assessments of the
residents' skin. The process was to have CNAs
(Certified Nursing Assistants) observe the skin
with diaper changes, showers, and when
something appeared that was not there before;
they reported to the nurse who would then do
an assessment. The family could also advise

During an interview on 6/21/17 at 1:20 p.m.,
Family Member 3 stated that initially he thought
Resident 1's care at the facility was pretty
good, but when Resident 1 tried to get up out
of bed, the facility gave him drugs to the point
he did not even move. Family Member 3 stated
Resident 1 was burned with coffee twice and,
because he had a history of shingles, was
diagnosed with shingles. Then he was
transferred to the, "Dementia Unit, that's when
things got bad." Family Member 3 stated that
he lived close so visited for one to two hours a
day and was told Resident 1 had a pustule sore
on his bottom, which made him think it was
very small, and he never observed any
treatment for it. Resident 1 no longer walked,
and his speech was non-sensical. When
Resident 1 was in the wheelchair squirming,
maybe from pain, he was unable to tell Family
Member 3.
During an interview on 2/2/18 at 9:20 a.m.,
Practitioner C stated this was an extremely
complicated case. Resident 1 was a strong
healthy independent gentleman who was
infected with racoon round worm while working
under his home. This caused both viral
encephalitis (swelling of the brain) and parasitic
meningitis (infection of the brain that is usually
fatal). When questioned as to why Resident 1
was admitted to the facility, Practitioner C
stated that the facility had no choice; Resident
1 could no longer stay in the hospital and the
family declined to take him home. The facility
admitted Resident 1 based on the prognosis of
potentially living three months longer.
Practitioner C stated the wound care clinic was
a separate business, so the facility did not have
control over when they would respond to a

when the facility uses single unit package drug
distribution systems in which the quantity
stored is minimal and a missing dose can be
readily detected.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and policy
review, the facility did not dispose of four
expired over-the-counter medications in one of
the three medication rooms. The expiration
date is the manufacturer's date after which it
cannot guarantee the safety and efficacy of the
medication. The failure of the facility to dispose
of expired medication had the potential to result
in the use of expired medication for a resident,
which was not effective or was harmful.
Findings:
During an observation with concurrent
interview, on 1-31-18 at 9 a.m., the following
expired items were in the Medication Room of
Nurses' Station A:
Bacitracin 500 U, one box of 144 packets.

During an initial tour on 1/29/18, at 4 p.m.,
Resident 33 appeared alert and oriented, lying
supine (on her back) in bed. Resident 33
appeared limited in her range of movement and
complained when the bed sheet touched her
feet.
During a concurrent interview, Resident 33
stated she had severe Rheumatoid Arthritis,
saying pain management included Motrin and
Methadone. (Rheumatoid arthritis affects fluids
in the joints, causing pain, swelling, stiffness
and loss of function.) Resident 33 said she had
not had a laboratory test since her admission a
year earlier, saying she thought a liver panel
should be done to rule out possible damage by
pain medications, or possible diagnosis of
diabetes, as it ran in her family. Resident 33
said she had recently asked for laboratory
tests, but had received no response from her
physician, or nursing staff.
A review of, "Physician Orders," indicated, on
1/27/17, Resident 33's physician-ordered
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), and
Complete Blood Count (CBC), used to evaluate
an individual's overall health and detect a wide
range of disorders, was to be done every six
months. The physician-ordered ThyroidStimulating Hormone lab (TSH), measuring
amount of thyroid hormone produced by an
individual's body, was to be done January
2018.
During an interview on 2/01/18, at 1:33 p.m.,

indicated the facility had no record of Resident
33 having CMP and CBC laboratory tests done

contamination and food-associated illness.
Findings:
During a tray line observation on 01/31/18, at
12 p.m., Cook A patted a resident's meatloaf
with his right gloved hand, after touching a
cooking pot, stove top, counter top, and serving
utensil. At 12:10 p.m., Cook A tore off pieces
of another resident's meatloaf and re-arranged
items on the resident's plate, placing the
broken piece back in the communal pan. Cook
A had not changed gloves between touching
multiple surfaces and residents' food.
In an interview on 1/31/18, at 4 p.m., Cook A
stated it would not be 'ok' to touch foods with a
glove that had touched multiple surfaces, and
said he was unaware he had done so.
During an interview on 1/31/18, at 4:30 p.m.,
the Dietary Manager stated he had also
witnessed Cook A touching residents' food
during tray line, saying, "I didn't like it." The
Dietary Manager said touching residents' food
with gloved hands that had touched multiple
surfaces was against facility policy.
A review of the facility's, "Glove Use Policy,
10.9A," indicated gloved hands were a food
contact surface that could get contaminated or
soiled and should be discarded after each use,
including before handling cooked, or ready-toeat, food.
