This deficient practice had the potential to affect Resident Residents 10, 244, and 58's sense of self-worth and self-esteem which could result in problems with emotional and mental well-being. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 10's admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 15 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re- admitted on [DATE]. Resident 15's diagnoses included metabolic encephalopathy (ME, occurs when problems with your metabolism cause brain dysfunction), diabetes mellitus (DM, is a metabolic disease, involving inappropriately elevated blood glucose levels), dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). During a review of Resident 10's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 11/25/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 10 has severely impaired cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 10 was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) in toileting hygiene, toilet transfer, and tub/ shower transfer. Resident 10 needed partial/ moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort, helper lifts, hold, or supports trunk or limbs but provides less than half the effort) in eating, oral hygiene, and personal hygiene. During a concurrent observation in the dining room on 1/27/2025 at 11:57 AM, Resident 10 finished eating a bowl of porridge. Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3) was sitting next to the residents. CNA 3 stated, Resident (Resident 10) wants to go and eat in her room with a family member. She is a feeder. During an interview with CNA 1 at 1/27/2025 at 12:20 PM, CNA 1 stated, We do not call residents feeders when they need feeding assistance. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/28/2025 at 1:55 PM, the DON stated, The staff should not call residents who are dependent, and needing feeding assistance as feeders because of resident's dignity.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure accurate assessment of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) for one (1) of three (3) sampled residents (Resident 84) by failing to include the resident's correct discharge status. Residents Affected - Few This failure resulted in the facility's inaccurate MDS and care screening tool reporting to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Findings: During a review of Resident 84's Physician's Orders, dated 12/12/2024, the Physician's Orders indicated Resident 84 will be discharged home on [DATE] with home health. During a review of Resident 84's Notice of Transfer/Discharge form, dated 12/13/2024, the Notice of Transfer/Discharge indicated that Resident 84 was discharged to home. During a review of Resident 84's Post Discharge Plan of Care, dated 12/13/2024, the Post Discharge Plan of Care indicated Resident 84 was discharged /transferred to home on [DATE]. During a review of Resident 84's Physician's Discharge summary, dated [DATE], the Physician's Discharge Summary indicated Resident 84 was discharged to home on [DATE] because Resident's 84 health conditions have improved. During an interview on 1/29/2025 at 2:37 PM with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC), the MDSC stated, she documented and transmitted Resident 84's MDS discharge status on 12/27/2024. The MDS discharge status reflected Resident 84 was discharged to the short-term general hospital, instead of home under care of organized home health service organization. The MDSC also stated she realized she made a mistake completing the MDS discharge status and thought it was for the MDS admission status.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the completion and implementation of the baseline care plan within 48 hours of the resident's admission for one of one sampled resident (Resident 14). This failure had the potential to affect Resident 14's health and safety by not promoting continuity of care and communication among the nursing home staff regarding the initial plan for delivery of care and services. Findings: During a review of Resident 14's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 14 was admitted on dated 11/15/2024. Resident 14's diagnoses included dementia (a general term for a group of brain disorders that cause a gradual decline in cognitive abilities, such as memory, thinking, reasoning, and judgment), psychotic disturbance (also known as psychosis [mental health condition characterized by a loss of contact with reality]), and mood disturbance. During a review of Resident 14's physician order, dated 11/15/2024, the physician order indicated Seroquel 25 (an antipsychotic medication) milligrams (mg - a unit of measurement) will be administered twice a day for psychosis manifested by striking out without any reason and hitting with fist during care pinching episodes. During a review of Resident 14's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 11/19/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 14 is with severe impairment of cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. During a review of the Resident 14's medical record, it did not contain the baseline care plan for Resident 14's antipsychotic medication use as indicated on the physician's order. During an interview on 1/28/2025 at 1:00 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4), LVN 4 stated that Resident 14's antipsychotic medication baseline care plan should be started once the resident was admitted on [DATE] from the hospital. During an interview on 1/30/2025 at 10:06 AM with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated, Resident 14's antipsychotic medication baseline care plan should be signed by the admitting Registered Nurse (RN), should be done within 14 to 30 days from admission, and should be always kept in the resident's chart. The potential outcome for not having the baseline care plan in the chart is affecting the resident's quality of care.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the nurses were documenting the complete orthostatic blood pressure (the measurement of blood pressure when a person stands up from a sitting or lying position) for the lying position for one of 18 sampled residents (Resident 14). This failure had the potential to result in Resident 14's orthostatic BP lying a risk for fall incident from hypotension (a medical condition characterized by abnormally low blood pressure) or from dizziness. Findings: During a review of Resident 14's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 14 was admitted on dated 11/15/2024. Resident 14's diagnoses included dementia (a general term for a group of brain disorders that cause a gradual decline in cognitive abilities, such as memory, thinking, reasoning, and judgment), psychotic disturbance (also known as psychosis [mental health condition characterized by a loss of contact with reality]), and mood disturbance. During a review of Resident 14's physician order, dated 11/15/2024, the physician order indicated Seroquel 25 (an antipsychotic medication) milligrams (mg - a unit of measurement) to be administered twice a day for psychosis manifested by striking out without any reason and hitting with fist during care pinching episodes. During a review of Resident 14's physician's orders, dated 11/15/2024, the physician order indicated to monitor Resident 14's blood pressure (BP), sitting and lying, every Sunday while on Seroquel. During a review of Resident 14's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 11/19/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 14 is with severe impairment of cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. During a review of Resident 14's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 12/2024 to 1/2025, the MAR indicated Resident 14's BP in the lying position: Date: BP: 12/1/2024 - Not applicable (N/A). 12/8/2024 - 83. 12/15/2024 - N/A. 12/29/2024 - N/A. 1/5/2025 - N/A. 1/12/2025 -146.

Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 1/29/2025 at 11:04 AM with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) RN 1 stated, the facility's process is to follow the physician's order and document the resident's BP. If the nurses are unable to do it, they must document a reason in the progress notes. The potential outcome for not checking Resident 14's orthostatic BP will contribute to Resident 14 risk for fall and injury. During an interview on 1/30/2025 at 10:06 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3), LVN 3 stated, the LVNs document the BP in the resident's medical record. If unable to do it, they must document in the progress note so the physician could modify the dose of the medication. The potential outcome for not checking Resident 14's orthostatic BP will put Resident 14 at risk for fall. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Antipsychotic Medication Use, last revised on 7/2022, the P&P indicated, nursing staff will observe, document, and report to the resident's attending physician information regarding the effectiveness of any interventions, monitoring, and reporting adverse effects/side effects of antipsychotic medications.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure facility staff doff (take off) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE; protective clothing, goggles, or other garments to prevent or minimize exposure to and spread of infection or illness) and perform hand hygiene (cleaning hands to prevent germs) after providing peri-care (cleaning the genitals and anal area) for one of 18 sampled residents (Resident 15), in accordance with the policy. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice has the potential to spread infection to staff and residents. Findings: During a review of Resident 15's admission Record, the admission Record indicated resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with the following diagnoses of muscle wasting and atrophy and fracture of second lumbar vertebra (point of the spinal cord [bundle of nerves and tissues]). During a review of Resident 15 Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 12/12/2024, the MDS indicated resident was moderately impaired with cognitive (the ability to understand and make decisions) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 15 was dependent (Helper does all of the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity or the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, upper body dressing, lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 15 had an indwelling catheter (a flexible tube used to empty the bladder and collect urine in a drainage bag). During an observation on 1/29/2025 at 1:45 PM, Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2) was observed providing peri-care to Resident 15. CNA 2 was also observed not changing the gloves and not performing hand hygiene after providing peri-care for the resident. CNA2 was observed using the same gloves CNA 2 touched Resident 15's clean bed pad and bed sheets while changing the bed pad and fixing the bed sheets. During an interview on 1/29/25 at 2 PM, CNA 2 stated she should have removed her gloves, performed hand hygiene and changed gloves prior to touching Resident 15's bed pad and bed sheets to prevent the spread of infection. During an interview on 1/29/2025 at 2:45 PM, Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN) stated CNA 2 should have removed her gloves, perform hand hygiene and put on new gloves. IPN also stated CNA 2 should not have touched the bed pad and the bed sheets after providing peri-care to a resident because it can spread infection. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Handwashing/Hand Hygiene, revised 8/2019, the P&P indicated to perform hand hygiene after contact with blood or bodily fluids, and before moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body site during resident care. The P&P also indicated the use of gloves does not replace hand washing/hand hygiene. Integration of glove use along with routine hand hygiene is recognized as the best practice for preventing healthcare-associated infections.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary and comfortable environment by failing to ensure there was no water leak in the kitchen ceiling from 1/26/2025 to 1/27/2025. This deficient practice had the potential to result in unsafe and non-functional kitchen. Findings: During an initial observation in the kitchen on 1/27/2025 at 7:48 AM, there were moderate amount of water on the floor near the dishwashing area. There was a wet/dry vacuum (a specialized piece of cleaning equipment designed to handle both wet and dry debris pickup) in the middle of the area and suctioning water from the floor. There were rolled bed sheets placed on the floor surrounding the puddle of water t. During a concurrent observation in the kitchen and interview with Dietary Supervisor (DTS) on 1/27/2025 at 8:23 AM, DTS stated, there is a puddle of water on the floor near the dishwashing area and it is coming form the leak from the ceiling. During an interview with Maintenance Supervisor (MTS) on 1/27/2025 at 12:41 PM, MTS stated, the metal duct for the ventilation in between the roof and the ceiling has a hole at the bottom. The metal duct has collected water from the rain last night, and it was the source of the water leak from the ceiling. During an interview with the DTS on 1/29/2025 at 11:10 AM, DTS stated, the water leak was reported by my staff on Sunday (1/26/2025) night. I do not think the maintenance staff checked the building last Friday (1/24/2025). We usually do not know if maintenance made rounds. It is not okay to have water leaks because if that happens, we cannot use the kitchen. During an interview with Maintenance Assistant (MTA) on 1/30/2025 at 10:28 AM, MTA stated, I was informed by the MTS about the water leak in the kitchen ceiling, Monday morning. There was leaking water coming down from the ceiling when I inspected the kitchen last Monday around 8AM. During an interview with MTA on, 1/30/2025 at 10:30 AM, MTA stated, Food contamination is possible in the kitchen from the water leak. If that happens, there will be no food for the residents. During an interview with MTS on 1/30/2025 at 10:54 AM, MTS stated, if it rained really hard and the ceiling has water leaking, the kitchen might get flooded, and the facility would not be able to use the kitchen and therefore no food will be served for the residents. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Maintenance Service, revised 12/2009, indicated the maintenance department is responsible for maintaining the buildings, grounds, and equipment in a safe and operable manner at all times.
