F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure respect and dignity was maintained for 3 of 25 sampled residents (38, 91, and 106) when: Residents Affected - Some 1. Resident 38's privacy curtain was not drawn while she was voiding (passing urine from the body) on a toilet seat; 2. Resident 91 did not have appropriate covering or clothing and was exposed to view from her room; and 3. Resident 106's urinary catheter drainage bags (a urinary catheter is a thin, flexible tube used to drain urine from the bladder) was left uncovered. These failures had the potential to affect the emotional and psychosocial well-being of the residents. Findings: 1. During an observation on 5/4/21 at 3:15 p.m., Resident 38 was on a toilet seat beside her bed. Her privacy curtain was not drawn and the resident's door was open to the hallway where other residents and staff passed by. Two activity staff were present in the room. Resident 38's lower body part was exposed naked from waist level to lower legs. During an interview with LVN J on 5/4/21 at 3:35 p.m. , LVN J stated the curtain should be drawn to provide visual privacy while the resident was on a commode to promote resident dignity. A review of the facility's policy titled Resident's Rights dated 1/15/2007, indicated residents shall have the right to be treated with consideration, respect and full recognition of dignity and individuality, including privacy in treatment and in care of personal needs. 2. During an observation and concurrent interview with licensed vocational nurse E (LVN E) on 5/4/21 at 2:55 p.m., Resident 91 was sleeping in bed. Her privacy curtain was not drawn.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some acknowledged Resident 91 had episodes of involuntary movements that could result in her accidental clothes removal. She stated the staff should regularly check the resident to make sure her clothes were on and that she had privacy. Review of Resident 91's clinical record indicated she had diagnoses of schizophrenia (a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves), dementia (a loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life), and Huntington's disease (a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain). Review of Resident 91's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a clinical assessment tool) dated 3/22/21, indicated she had severely impaired cognitive skills. Her dressing required extensive assistance and two-person physical assist. A review of the facility's policy titled Resident's Rights dated 1/15/2007, indicated residents shall have the right to be treated with consideration, respect and full recognition of dignity and individuality, including privacy in treatment and in care of personal needs. 3. During an observation on 5/3/21, at 11:30 a.m., Resident 106 was observed with an uncovered urinary catheter drainage bag hanging from his wheelchair while the occupational therapist (OT) was wheeling him in the hallway outside his room. During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/3/21 at 11:37 a.m. with the OT, she confirmed the above observation and stated Resident 106 should have bag covering the urinary catheter drainage bag when outside his room.

F 0637 Assess the resident when there is a significant change in condition 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 complete a significant change in status assessment (SCSA) in the minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool) for one of 25 sampled residents (87) when the resident had significant weight loss, had declined in activities of daily living (ADL, daily self-care tasks, e.g., bathing, toileting, and transferring) and had declined bowel continence. Residents Affected - Few These failures had the potential to result in Resident 87 unable to achieve or maintain optimal status of health, function and quality of life. Findings: Review of Resident 87's face sheet (summary page of a patient's important information) indicated he was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dysphagia (difficulty of swallowing), major depressive disorder (mood disorder that interferes with daily life) and schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness that can affect your thoughts, mood and behavior). During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/7/21 at 1:41 p.m., with registered dietitian BB (RD BB), she reviewed the clinical records of Resident 87 and stated the ideal body weight (IBW) is 130 lbs.-155 lbs. and his height is 5'6. She further stated that Resident 87 was below his IBW. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/7/21 at 2:08 p.m., with the RD BB, she reviewed the clinical records of Resident 87 and stated readmission weight on 9/25/21 was 114 lbs., on 10/24/21, weight is 105 lbs. She further stated that Resident 87 had a 7.8% weight loss in a month. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/7/21 at 3:52 p.m., with RD BB, she reviewed the weight variance committee meeting notes dated 10/26/2020. She stated there was no nursing staff present during the discussion about Resident 89's weights and the director of nursing was aware about weight loss of 5 % or more in the last 30 days. She further stated that the weight loss of Resident 87 was unplanned. Review of Resident 87's MDS dated [DATE], indicated his cognition (mental, thought processes) and brief interview for mental status (BIMS, cognition level) score of four is severely impaired. He required extensive assistance with two persons assist in activities of daily living (ADL), locomotion on unit indicate activity occurred only once or twice, walk in room needs limited assistance with one person assist and locomotion off unit did not occur over seven day period. His bowel continence is frequently incontinent- two or more episodes of bowel incontinence but at least one continent bowel movement.

F 0637 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few weight loss and if he had known about the unplanned weight loss, a comprehensive assessment should have been done within 14 days from the determination of the significant change in status. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/7/21 at 4:30 p.m. with MDSC D, he reviewed the MDS dated [DATE] and 9/25/2020. He stated Resident 87 had two or more decline in ADL's, declined bowel continence and a weight loss of 7.8 % within the last 30 days from the readmission weight on 9/25/21 was 114 lbs., on 10/24/21, weight is 105 lbs. MDSC D confirmed there was no evidence a SCSA comprehensive assessment was done and no interdisciplinary team (IDT, a group of health care professionals from diverse fields who work toward a common goal for residents) discussion about criteria of a SCSA. Review of Resident Assessment Instrument Manual 3.0 Version 1.16.1, dated 10/2018, indicated .a significant change in status assessment must be completed on the fourteenth calendar day after determination that a significant change in the resident's status occurred. The manual further indicated a SCSA MDS is appropriate when a resident declined in two or more areas or the emergence of an unplanned weight loss problem . Review of the facility's general policy guidelines revision dated 10/29/2015, titled Weight Management, indicated a weight management committee (IDT) will review all significant weight variances. All residents with significant weight change will be discuss in the weight committee, stand -up meeting and /or care conferences (IDT). Any significant weight change that may require a new MDS according to RAI guidelines will be evaluated by the IDT.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan with measurable objectives, goal and person-centered interventions, for one of 25 sampled residents (118). This deficient practice had the potential to result not meeting the resident's needs. Findings: During an observation on 5/3/21 at 10:21 a.m., Resident 118 was lying in bed, with a fall mat on the floor next to his bed and had a low bed. Resident 118 had unclear speech, slurred and mumbled words. A review of Resident 118's face sheet indicated he was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included Schizophrenia (chronic brain disorder characterized by hallucinations, disorganized thoughts and speech, and trouble thinking), Alzheimer's (a progressive disease that destroys memory and mental functions), dementia (decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities), Anxiety disorder (medical condition includes symptoms of intense anxiety or panic that are directly caused by a physical health problem.) and type 2 diabetes mellitus(high blood sugar). Review of Resident 118's minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 4/8/21, indicated his cognition (mental, thought processes) and a brief interview for mental status (BIMS, cognition level) score of three is severely impaired. He required extensive assistance with one person physical assist in activities of daily living (ADL), non-ambulatory, wheelchair locomotion on and off unit did not occur and transfer activity did occur but only one or twice in seven days from bed to wheelchair. His speech was unclear; he slurred or mumbled words and only sometimes understands. A review of Resident 118's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE], indicated a fall risk score of 17 (High Risk = 10 or above). A review of Resident 118's Care plan dated 7/7/17 indicated Resident 118 was at risk for falls due to psychoactive drug use, impaired physical function, gait or balance problem and behavior issues related to diagnosis of dementia and schizophrenia. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/5/21 at 4:47 p.m., with the assistant director of nursing (ADON), she reviewed Resident 118's baseline Fall Care Plan dated 7/7/17 and 4/23/21. She stated most of the fall interventions on the care plan were not relevant to the resident. Resident 118 could not walk, and providing non-skid footwear, ensure usage when ambulating and propelling himself in his wheelchair did not apply, providing verbal cues, encouragement and frequent reminders to ask for assistance using the call light when getting in and out of bed were not meaningful interventions. Resident 118 was not cognitively aware and was not capable of using the call light to ask for help. The ADON further stated it was her expectation for care plans to be individualized, resident specific, realistic and measurable goal and implemented.
