This survey cited 10 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. 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 provide reasonable accommodations to meet the needs and preferences for one of 23 sampled residents (Resident 59) when Resident 59 did not have the bedroom set up in a manner that provided sufficient space to easily and safely navigate to and from her restroom and to keep her wheelchair within easy reach. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to result in injury to Resident 59. Findings: During an observation on 12/3/19, at 10:15 a.m., Resident 59's room was a three-person room, with three beds in the room. Resident 59's bed was the first bed in the room and was located across from the restroom entrance adjacent to the bedroom. Resident 59's wheelchair was parked next to her bed, approximately two feet from the wall. Resident 59's bedroom door was opened wide and blocked access to and the ability to open the restroom door. Resident 59 was inside the restroom and struggled to open the restroom door which was blocked by the bedroom door. Resident 59 managed to push the bedroom door away from the restroom entrance in an effort to open the restroom door and exit the restroom. Resident 59 grunted as she ambulated hunched over without a walker. She maneuvered the two doors and grabbed the footboard of her bed and scooted sideways in between her wheelchair and her bed. She used her mattress for balance and support while she scooted between the bed and wheelchair. Resident 59 sighed as she finally sat in her wheelchair and breathed rapidly. During an interview on 12/3/19, at 2:35 p.m., with Resident 59 assisted in translation by the Social Service Assistant (SSA), Resident 59 stated her restroom door slammed shut and would not stay open. She stated this made it hard for her to get in and out of the restroom. Resident 59 stated, Whoever made that door with the bedroom door in front of it was not in their right mind. During an observation on 12/4/19, at 8:48 a.m., in Resident 59's room, Resident 59 came out of the restroom. Her bedroom door was wide open and covered the door to the restroom. Resident 59 managed to push the bedroom door away from the restroom exit in effort to open the restroom door and exited the restroom. Resident 59 became short of breath while she maneuvered without staff assistance in an effort to clear both doors. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/4/19, at 9:56 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2 and CNA 3, CNA 2 stated Resident 59 could ambulate and toilet herself as long as she held on to things. CNA 2 and 3 observed the doors to the restroom and bedroom and stated it would be very difficult for Resident 59 to get out of the bathroom and navigate to her bed unassisted. CNA 3 stated Resident 59 could fall and injure herself in this situation.

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/5/19, at 9 a.m., with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM observed Resident 59's attempt to get out of the restroom unassisted. The ADM stated she did not know Resident 59 could ambulate unassisted. The ADM stated she had previously spoken to Resident 59 and Resident 59 did not want to change rooms. The ADM listened to the previous interview with Resident 59 where Resident 59 stated it was hard to get in and out of her restroom and stated Resident 59 was confused. The ADM stated she did not think if was difficult for Resident 59 to navigate in and out of her restroom. During an interview on 12/5/19, at 9:13 a.m., with Licensed Nurse (LN) 3, LN 3 stated ninety percent of the time Resident 59's wheelchair was stored outside of the room in the hall way. LN 3 stated this was necessary in order to give the residents and staff more room inside the room. LN 3 stated Resident 59 would wheel her wheelchair into her room, transfer herself to her bed, and then staff would move the wheelchair into the hall. During a concurrent observation and interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 12/5/19, at 9:30 a.m., the DON observed Resident 59's room, and looked at the configuration of how the bedroom and bathroom door collided and impeded opening of both doors at the same time. The DON stated the doors were a problem and the facility should have put only non-ambulatory residents in that room. The DON stated Resident 59 did not want to move to a different room. The DON stated storing Resident 59's wheelchair in the hall was a fire hazard. She stated Resident 59 ambulated hunched over and it would be hard for Resident 59 to ambulate to the hall and retrieve the wheelchair by herself. The DON stated, It's a fall waiting to happen. During a review of the clinical record for Resident 59, the face sheet (a document containing resident profile information and medical diagnosis) indicated Resident 59 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) (assessment of healthcare and functional needs) assessment dated [DATE], Section C, indicated Resident 59's cognitive status was moderately impaired with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 9 of 15 points (0-7 indicated severe impairment, 8-12 indicated moderately impaired, 13-15 indicated cognitively intact). The MDS assessment, Section G, indicated Resident 59's functional status required supervision and one-person physical assistance for bed mobility, transfers, walking in room, walking in corridor, locomotion on unit and toilet use. The Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 59 had a fall risk score of 12 and If the total score was 10 or greater, the resident should be considered at HIGH RISK for potential falls. A prevention protocol should be initiated. The Care Plan for At Risk for Falls [related to] Weakness, dated 1/9/18, indicated, Assist to toilet [every] 2 hours and [as needed], Assist with transfers, encourage safety precautions. The Care Plan for Potential for Rehabilitation of Mobility dated 4/12/18, indicated, Requires 1 person assist.

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 staff followed professional standards of practice for two of two sampled residents (Resident 22 and Resident 45) who used indwelling urinary catheters (a flexible tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine) when Resident 22's and Resident 45's urinary catheter tubing was not secured to prevent discomfort and accidental dislodgment of the catheter. Residents Affected - Some This failure had the potential to cause discomfort, injury to the urethra (duct that leads from the bladder and transports urine out of the body) and accidental dislodgment of the indwelling catheter. Findings: 1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/3/19, at 10:09 a.m., with Resident 22, Resident 22 was in bed, her urinary catheter bag hung on the right side of her bed frame. Resident 22 pointed to the urinary catheter tubing after she removed her blanket. Resident 22's catheter tubing hung loose and was not secured to her leg. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/3/19, at 11:01 a.m., with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1, in Resident 22's room, LN 1 uncovered Resident 22's blanket and stated the urinary catheter tubing on Resident 22 was not secured to prevent pulling. LN 1 stated the urinary catheter should have been secured with a band around Resident 22's thigh to prevent pulling. LN 1 stated not having a secured catheter tubing could cause irritation and potentially dislodge the catheter. Resident 22's urinary catheter tubing was hanging loose and was not secured to her leg. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/4/19, at 12:59 p.m., with LN 2, LN 2 reviewed Resident 22's clinical record and stated Resident 22's urinary catheter was ordered on 10/4/19. LN 2 stated it was the responsibility of nursing staff to ensure the catheter tubing was secured on the resident's thigh to prevent accidental dislodgment of the catheter and to prevent injury. LN 2 reviewed the facility policy and procedure titled, Catheter Care, Urinary dated 9/14, and stated it was the standard of practice and the facility's policy to secure the catheter tubing to prevent dislodgement. During an interview on 12/4/19, at 1:25 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated it was the facility's policy to secure the catheter utilizing a leg band. The DON stated the catheter tubing should be secured to prevent dislodgement and trauma.

F 0802 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure support personnel were competent to effectively carry out the function for food and nutrition services when two of two sampled Maintenance Assistants (MA 1 and MA 2) did not clean and sanitize the facility ice machine in accordance to the manufacturer's recommendations. (Cross reference F908.) This failure had the potential for the ice machine to not function properly, cause contamination of the ice, and lead to resident illnesses. Findings: During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/4/19, at 8:18 a.m., with MA 1 and the Housekeeping & Maintenance Supervisor (HMS), MA 1 stated he had been cleaning and sanitizing the ice machine once a month since 9/2019. MA 1 stated he followed the manufacturer's guidelines located inside the ice machine binder. MA 1 stated he diluted a cleaner with two gallons of room temperature water, flushed the machine twice, and allowed the machine to make ice three times. MA 1 stated he would discard the ice three times and would consider the ice machine clean once these steps were followed. MA 1 stated he had been trained to clean and sanitize the ice machine by MA 2.
