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.

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 (ii) A resident with pressure ulcers receives necessary treatment and services, consistent with professional standards of practice, to promote healing, prevent infection and prevent new ulcers from developing. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: 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.

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 FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: WD1311 Facility ID: CA010000078 If continuation sheet 5 of 12 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

This was the reason given for delay, when the wound care clinic staff was not working in the facility. Resident 1 never actually went to the wound care clinic. During review of Resident 1's clinical record, the Nurses Notes, dated 8/21/16, 9/7/16, 9/8/16, 9/10/16, 9/14/16, 9/14/16, 9/15/16, 9/27/16, 9/30/16, 10/2/16, 10/6/16, 10/23/16, 10/23/16, 10/24/16, 10/26/16, and 10/30/16, indicated: Documentation of Resident 1's wound was either and incomplete wound assessment or there was no wound assessment at all. During review of Resident 1's clinical record, the Skin Variance Progress Notes, dated 10/13/16, 10/20/16, and 10/27/16, indicated the wound assessment on 10/13/16 was incomplete. There was no wound assessment documented for either 10/20/16 or 10/27/16. During review of the for Resident 1's clinical record, the Braden Scale-For Predicting Pressure Sore Risk, dated 3/3/15, 8/6/16, and 11/1/16, indicated: For 3/3/15, Resident 1's risk score was 16, which equaled a mild risk.

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. Expiration Date 9/16. Curad Vitamin D ointment, one packet. Expiration Date 2/17. Iodine Swish Stick, one stick. Expiration Date 11/16. Procure Vitamin A and D, four packets. Expiration Date 11/17.

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., the ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing) indicated the facility had no record of Resident 33 having CMP and CBC laboratory tests done six months after Resident 33's admission, nor was a TSH laboratory test done in January 2018, per physician orders.

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.
