(C) Discharge plans in the comprehensive care plan, as appropriate, in accordance with the requirements set forth in paragraph (c) of this section. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a care plan for one (Resident 18) of one sampled resident with a hearing impairment when Resident 18 was assessed to have difficulty hearing and used hearing aids. This deficient practice resulted in Resident 18 not being able to hear well because she was not provided working hearing aids. Findings: A review of the Admission Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to guide resident care) dated 11/2/18, showed Resident 18 was able to understand others, and was understood.

During a record review and a concurrent interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 5/21/19 at 11:12 a.m., DON stated she was responsible to complete assessments and enter data for the MDS. DON stated she had assessed Resident 18 as needing hearing aids for her hearing difficulty. DON was unable to provide documentation for a care plan for Resident 18's hearing impairment. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, "Care Plans, Comprehensive PersonCentered," revised December 2016, indicated, "A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident."

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide two staff members for supervision during use of a mechanical lift (an assistive device for lifting and transferring people from one surface to another) to prevent the fall of one (Resident 3) of two sampled residents at risk of falls. For Resident 3, the failure to provide two staff members during use of the mechanical lift resulted in a fall during transfer from bed to a shower chair, and caused a fracture of the left tibia (broken bone in the leg between the ankle and knee).

The MDS also indicated Resident 3 required total assistance from two or more staff members for transfer from bed to chair. A review of the care plan titled, "Activities of Daily Living," dated 11/21/16, showed Resident 3 was totally dependent on two staff members for transfer when using a mechanical lift. During a telephone interview with Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) on 5/22/19 at 8:53 a.m., CNA 1 stated her assignment on 12/28/18 included care of Resident 3. CNA 1 stated when she attempted to transfer Resident 3 from his bed to a shower chair using the [mechanical] lift, the sling (a cloth harness used to hold the resident during transfer) ripped, and Resident 3 fell to the floor. CNA 1 stated Resident 3's left foot had hit the floor first during his fall. CNA 1 stated she had not received training on use of the mechanical lift, so she had routinely transferred residents by herself until after Resident 3's accident on 12/28/18.

This failure had the potential for a resident receiving food from the kitchen to contract food-borne illness. Findings: During an observation and interview with Dietary Supervisor (DS) on 5/21/19 at 12:24 p.m., DS confirmed the steam table and the stove hood had thick layers of dried, brown and white colored, greasy material, and the inside of the microwave had brown debris. DS stated staff cleaned the steam table, hood, and microwave once a week on Wednesday.

For Resident 1, the failure of Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 3 to perform hand hygiene after contact with Resident 4, and before feeding Resident 1, had the potential to result in transmission of pathogens (bacteria, virus, or other microorganism capable of causing infection or disease) from Resident 4 to Resident 1, and cause infection or disease.
