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, medical record review, and facility document review, the facility failed to provide the residents' care timely for the residents on the SNF unit and two nonsampled residents (Residents A and 32). Residents Affected - Few * The residents on the SNF unit were not repositioned or provided their usual care when only two CNAs were on duty. * Residents A and 32 waited more than an hour for incontinent care. These failures resulted in a delay of the residents' care, putting them at risk for negative outcome and resulting in feelings of discomfort. Findings: 1. Review of the Nursing Staffing Assignment and Sign-In Sheet for 3/20/24, for the 2300 to 0700-hours shift, showed two CNAs were assigned to care for 43 residents. On 4/17/24 at 1614 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with CNA 4. CNA 4 stated they worked on 4/14/24 at night shift, when there was a sick call, so they only had two CNAs for 43 residents. CNA 4 stated they were not able to get to the residents timely and some of the residents got angry. CNA 4 stated one resident had the call light on, and the charge nurse explained to the resident there were only two CNAs for the shift and they was busy with another resident. Then 10 minutes later, the resident used the call light again. CNA 4 stated, I went in their room to let them know I would be there as soon as possible to change her incontinent brief, and the resident said, yeah, but I'm hurting. On 4/18/24 at 0617 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 2. CNA 2 stated on 3/20/24, the third assigned CNA called off, and there were only two CNAs for all the SNF residents. CNA 2 stated they had 22 residents each that night. CNA 2 stated there was too much to do and they were not able to perform their routine care during that shift. CNA 2 stated they usually did the incontinent care for the incontinent residents two to three times a shift but was only able to change them twice during that shift. CNA 2 stated the residents were not repositioned during her shift. 2. Review of the Nursing Staffing Assignment and Sign-In Sheet for 4/14/24 for the 2300 to 0700 hours shift, showed two CNAs were assigned to care for 43 residents. a.

F 0558 the facility on [DATE]. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of Resident 32's MDS dated [DATE], showed the resident was cognitively intact. Residents Affected - Few On 4/16/24 at 0924 hours, an interview was conducted with Resident 32. Resident 32 stated sometimes it took an hour for staff to change her incontinent brief after using the call light; and specially when they were short of a CNA on the night shift, there was only one CNA for the entire hall of the residents. Resident 32 stated they had watched their wall clock that was how they knew it took an hour; and being in a soiled incontinent brief, it made them feel yucky. b. Medical record review for Resident A was initiated on 4/16/24. Review of Resident A's MDS dated [DATE], showed the resident was cognitively intact. On 4/17/24 at 1531 hours, an interview was conducted with Resident A. Resident A stated there was only one CNA for their hallway on 4/14/24, during the night shift and it took over an hour for their incontinent brief to be changed. Resident A stated the nurse explained they were short of a CNA. Resident A stated they were in pain and uncomfortable and wanted their incontinent brief to be changed, and it took more than an hour for the CNA to come and change them. On 4/18/24 at 0602 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 9. LVN 9 stated on 4/14/24 at 2300 to 0700 hours shift, they had two CNAs instead of their usual three CNAs for 43 residents. LVN 9 stated most of the residents needed things and the CNAs were unable to answer all the call lights. LVN 9 stated the nurses tried their best to help, but they also had two LVNs for 43 residents. LVN 9 stated the nurses tried and helped by answering the call lights and getting water. When asked what cares were delayed that she was aware of, the LVN replied the incontinent cares. LVN 9 stated they explained to the residents they only had two CNAs and most of them were understanding. On 4/18/24 at 1007 hours, an interview and concurrent record review was conducted with the DON. The DON stated for the 2300 to 0700 hours shift, they staffed with three CNAs. If there was a sick call, the facility would try and get other staff to come in, or would call a registry. If they were unable to find anyone to come in, then the two CNAs would just have to split the number of residents in the SNF unit. The DON stated the Director of Staff Development Assistant was responsible for the CNA scheduling. On 4/18/24 at 1024 hours, an interview and concurrent record review were conducted with the Director of Staff Development Assistant. The Director of Staff Development Assistant stated they were staffed with three CNAs for the 2300 to 0700 hours shift, and if there was a sick call, they would see if other staff wanted to stay extra and try and get the registry staff to come in and work. The Director of Staff Development Assistant reviewed the staffing sheets for 3/20/24 and 4/14/24, for the 2300 to 0700 hours shift, and verified there were a CNA called off for both dates, and they were unable to find other staff to work. The Director of Staff Development Assistant reviewed the staff time punched for those days and verified the 1500 to 2300 hours shift staff did not stay over, and the following 0700 to 1500 hours shift did not come in early, apart from a CNA coming clocking in at 0630 hours, 30 minutes early for their shift, to assist.

F 0582 Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide two of three final sampled residents reviewed for the Notice of Medicare Non-coverage (NOMNC) and Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (SNF ABN) Form CMS-10055 (Residents 901 and 902). The NOMNC and SNF ABN Forms were used to inform the residents of their potential financial liability and appeal rights and protections should they wish to receive care and services that may not be covered by Medicare. This failure had the potential for not allowing Residents 901 and 902 to make an informed decision regarding their Medicare services. Residents Affected - Few Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Medicare Non-Coverage Notice dated April 2018 showed a Medicare provider or health plan must give an advance, completed copy of the Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) to beneficiaries/enrollees receiving skilled nursing, home health, comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facility, and hospice services not later than two days before the termination of services. 1. Medical record review for Resident 901 was initiated on 4/17/24. Resident 901 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and discharged home on [DATE]. Review of Resident 901's Physician's Orders dated 10/31/23, showed Resident 901 was discharged home. However, further medical record review for Resident 901 did not show Resident 901 and Resident 901's representative were provided a NOMNC. 2. Medical record review for Resident 902 was initiated on 4/17/24. Resident 902 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], and discharged home on [DATE]. Review of Resident 902's Physician Orders List showed the following orders: - dated 10/6/23, to discharge skilled services; and, - dated 10/18/23, to discharge home 10/19 or 10/20/23, as per the family's request with medications and instructions. However, further medical record review for Resident 902 did not show Resident 902 and Resident 902's representative were provided a NOMNC or SNF ABN Form. On 4/17/24 1326 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review for Residents 901 and 902 was conducted with the Administrator. The Administrator stated Resident 901's Medicare Part A skilled services episode start date was 10/26/23, and the last covered day of Part A service was 10/31/23. The Administrator also stated Resident 902's Medicare Part A skilled services episode start date was 8/8/23, and the last covered day of Part A service was 10/6/23. The Administrator was asked to provide the original notice or documentation Resident 901 was provided with the NOMNC and Resident 902 was provided with the NOMNC and the SNF ABN Form CMS-10055.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to maintain the clean, sanitary, and homelike environment for one of 10 restrooms observed. * Resident 84's restroom was observed with multiple streaks of yellow stain on the wall near the mirror and sink. In addition, the restroom's floor was also observed with multiple brown circular stains. This failure posed the risk for unsanitary conditions and a negatively effect on Resident 84's well-being. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Homelike Environment revised February 2021 showed the facility staff and management maximizes, to the extent possible, the characteristics of the facility that reflect a personalized, homelike setting. These characteristics include clean, sanitary and orderly environment. Medical record review for Resident 84 was initiated on 4/15/24. Resident 84 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the Resident 84's MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 84's cognitive skills for daily decision making was severely impaired.

F 0604 Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to implement the restraint free periods for two of three final sampled residents reviewed for restraints (Residents 39 and 46). Residents Affected - Few * The facility failed to ensure the mittens (mitten which look like boxing gloves with a Velcro or tie at the wrist to hold them in place and immobilize the resident's fingers) were released every two hours as per the resident's care plan and physician's order to release at least 10 minutes for Residents 39 and 46's both hands. These failures posed the risk of compromising the residents' independence and psychosocial well-being. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Use of Restraints dated 4/2017 showed the following safety guidelines shall be implemented and documented while a resident is in restraints: A resident placed in restraint will be observed at least every thirty minutes by nursing personnel and an acoount of the resident's condition shall be recorded in the resident's medical reword. The opportunity of motion and exercise is provided for a period of not less than 10 minutes during each two hours in which restraints are employed. 1. Medical record review of Resident 39 was initiated on 4/15/24. Resident 39 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of the Order Summary Report of April 2024 showed a physician order dated 4/5/24, to apply the bilateral hand mittens, remove the restraints every two hours for at least 10 minutes and change the resident's position; and to exercise resident as tolerated and check the circulation, mobility, and sensation. On 4/15/24 at 0930 and 1220 hours, Resident 39 was observed lying in bed with the bilateral hand mitten. On 4/16/24 at 0955 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review of Resident 39 was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 was asked how often she checked for the hand mitten. LVN 1 stated every two hours and released it sometimes for five minutes but most of the time for 10 minutes. On 4/17/24 at 1315 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review of Resident 39 was conducted with RN 5. RN 5 was asked to provide documentation about the release of the bilateral hand mitten and assessment of skin and mobility. RN 5 acknowledged the MAR did not show the release of the hand mitten was documented for 10 minutes of the release period, and there was no assessment of the resident's skin and mobility was documented for 10 minutes release. RN 5 verified the findings. 2. On 4/15/24 at 1020 hours, and 4/16/24 at 0938 hours, Resident 46 was observed in bed with the hand mittens on both hands. Medical record review for Resident 46 was initiated on 4/15/24. Resident 46 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].

F 0604 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident 46's H&P examination dated 10/28/23, showed Resident 46 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of Resident 46's Physician Orders for the month of April 2024 showed an order dated 10/26/23, to apply the bilateral hand mittens and monitor for pulling out devices every day and night shift; and to remove the bilateral hand mittens every two hours for at least ten minutes and change the resident position. The order also showed to exercise the resident as tolerated and check for circulation, mobility, and sensation. Review of Resident 46's plan of care showed a care plan problem dated 10/26/23, addressing the use of the bilateral hand mitten due to pulling out of the vital tubings and medical devices. The interventions included to check and release every two hours for circulation. Review of Resident 46's Medical Administration Record for the month of April 2024 showed documented evidence the bilateral hand mittens were checked and released every two hours as per the plan of care. However, there was no documented evidence the bilateral hands mittens were released at least for ten minutes duration as per the physician's order. Further review of Resident 46's medical record failed to show documented evidence for monitoring of the bilateral hand mitten for at least ten minutes duration after every two hours of released. On 4/17/24 at 0922 hours, an interview was conducted for Resident 46 with CNA 10. CNA 10 verified Resident 46 was always wearing the hand mittens on both hands because Resident 46's pulling out the medical devices and tubings. On 4/17/24 at 0936 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 46 was conducted with RN 5. RN 5 verified Resident 46's use of the bilateral hand mittens due to Resident 46's behavior of pulling out devices and hitting the staff. RN 5 was asked for the documentation about the release of the hand mittens every two hours with a duration of at least ten minutes and the assessment of the resident circulation and mobility. RN 5 verified there was no documentation for the assessment of the skin and mobility of the resident when the bilateral hand mittens were released after two hours. On 4/18/24 at 1026 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 46 was conducted with the DON. The DON verified the above findings.

This failure posed the risk to not provide appropriate, consistent, and individualized care. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered revised 12/2016 showed 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. Medical record review for Resident 40 was initiated on 4/5/24. Resident 40 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. On 4/5/24 at 1511 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 40. Resident 40's room had multiple nonperishable food items: chips, dehydrated soup, pastries, instant hot chocolate, canned goods, fresh potatoes and tomatoes stored on shelves in her room. Resident 40 had a small refrigerator stored on the shelf in her room. Resident 40 stated the small refrigerator was a cooler to chill items. The cooler contained pudding, potato salad, butter, and cheese. Resident 40 stated it was her right to have the food items stored in her room. On 4/16/24 at 1007 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 11. LVN 11 stated it was nursing's responsibility to create a baseline care plan for each resident and was revised as needed, quarterly, and annually. LVN 11 confirmed Resident 40 was not compliant with facility's P&P regarding the storage of food from the outside and this should be on Resident 40's care plan. LVN 11 confirmed there was no care plan for Resident 40 regarding storage of food from the outside.

This posed the risk of not providing the resident with individualized and person-centered care. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Care Plans, Comprehensive- Person Centered revised 12/2016 showed 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. The P&P showed a comprehensive person-centered care plan will incorporate identified problem areas and assessments of the residents are ongoing and care plan are revised as information about the residents and the resident's condition change. Medical record review for Resident 25 was initiated on 4/15/24. Resident 25 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 25's H&P examination dated 2/16/24, showed Resident 25 had major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Review of Resident 25's Physician Orders for April 2024 showed a physician's order dated 3/30/24, to administer diazepam 5 mg one tablet by mouth two times a day for anxiety manifested by verbalization of panic attack, and to record the number of behaviors noted. Review of Resident 25's MAR for April 2024 showed Resident 25 was administered diazepam 5 mg one tablet by mouth two times a day for anxiety manifested by verbalization of panic attack from 4/1 to 4/16/24 at 0900 and 2100 hours, and on 4/17/24 at 0900 hours. Review of Resident 25's plan of care showed a care plan problem dated 10/30/23, addressing Resident 25's behavior of anxiety manifested by inability to relax. The care plan showed a black box warning for Xanax (an antianxiety medication). The care plan failed to include diazepam or indicate the manifestations of verbalizations of panic attacks. On 4/18/24 at 0937 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON verified the above findings. The DON stated Resident 25's care plan for anxiety was not revised to address the resident's order for diazepam on 3/30/24. The DON stated the care plan should have been updated or revised to indicate the new medication, dose, and manifestations of verbalization of panic attacks.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the services provided met the professional standards of care when LVN 7 failed to properly administer the medication for one nonsampled resident (Resident 44). This failure had the potential to negatively impact the resident's health due to malabsorption and reduction in the effectiveness of the medication. Residents Affected - Few Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Nasal Inhalers, Sprays, and Pumps Administration Procedure dated 03/2023 showed the following instructions: - have the resident keep upright, - press a finger against the side of the nose to close one nostril, - keeping mouth closed, tip of pump, spray or inhaler is inserted into the nostril, - have resident sniff in through open nostril while pump or inhaler is quickly and firmly squeezed or activated, - instruct resident to hold his/her breath for a few seconds and then breathe out through mouth, and - repeat for other nostril if indicated. On 4/17/24 at 0846 hours, a medication administration observation was conducted with LVN 7 for Resident 44. LVN 7 was observed administering Flonase Allergy (use to treat allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching and a runny nose) nasal spray to Resident 44. LVN 7 primed the nasal spray, administered two consecutive sprays to Resident 44's left nostril, primed nasal spray again, then immediately administered two consecutive sprays to Resident 44's right nostril. LVN 7 did not instruct the resident to press a finger against the side of the nose to close one nostril, keep his mouth closed, and sniff in through the open nostril while the nasal spray was squeezed as per the P&P. In addition, LVN 7 did not instruct Resident 44 to hold his breath for a few seconds then breathe out through mouth after squeezing the nasal spray. On 4/17/24 at 1134 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 7. LVN 7 verified he did not provide Resident 44 with any directions when he administered the nasal spray and stated the resident already knew how the medication worked. On 4/18/24 at 1458 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON was informed and acknowledged the above finding.

On 4/18/24 at 1020 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with RN 2. RN 2 verified Resident 74's emergency dialysis kit was not found and not available at the resident's bedside. On 4/18/24 at 1040 hours, an interview with the DON was conducted. The DON was informed and acknowledged the above findings Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the dialysis care and services were provided for two of two final sampled residents reviewed for dialysis care (Residents 10 and 74). * The facility failed to ensure emergency supplies/kits were accessible at Resident 10's bedside in the event of dialysis (a treatment to rid the body of wastes and toxins when the kidneys fail to function) access bleeding/emergency. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 74's emergency dialysis kit was available at the bedside. These failures had the potential for Residents 10 and 74 not being provided appropriate care and treatment, and possibility of medical complications. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Hemodialysis Catheters- Access and Care of revised 2/23, under the section for Care Immediately Following Dialysis Treatment, showed mild bleeding from site (post-dialysis) can be expected, and to apply pressure to insertion site and contact the dialysis center for instructions. If there is major bleeding from the site (post dialysis), apply pressure to the insertion site and contact the emergency services and dialysis censer; and to verify that clamps are closed on lumens. This is a medical emergency. 1. On 4/15/24 at 1516 hours, an interview was conducted with Resident 10. Resident 10 stated she received dialysis on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Resident 10 stated her dialysis access site was located on her right upper chest. Medical record review for Resident 10 was initiated on 4/15/24. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 10 had a diagnosis of end stage renal disease (a loss of kidney function) which required dialysis.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the pharmaceutical services to meet the resident's needs for one of 21 final sampled residents (Resident 39). * The facility failed to ensure Resident 39's lorazepam (antianxiety medication) was accurately reconciled. The lorazepam tablets removed as shown on the Record of Controlled Substances was not recorded as administered on the electronic MAR. This failure had the potential for drug diversion. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Control Substances revised November 2022 showed controlled substance inventory is monitored and reconciled to identify loss or potential diversion in a manner that minimizes the time between loss/diversion and detection/follow-up. Nursing staff count controlled medication inventory at the end of each shift, using these records to reconcile the inventory count. Review of the facility's P&P titled Documentation of Medication Administration revised November 2022 showed a nurse documents all medications administered to each resident on the resident's medication administration record. Medical record review for Resident 39 was initiated on 4/15/24. Resident 39 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 39's H&P examination dated 1/17/24, showed Resident 39 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of the Physician Orders for April 2024 showed a physician's order dated 4/15/24, to administer lorazepam 2 mg one tablet via GT every four hours as needed for anxiety. On 4/16/24 at 0914 hours, a controlled medication reconciliation for Resident 39 was conducted with LVN 1. Review of Resident 39's Record of Controlled Substances showed lorazepam was signed out on 4/16/24 at 0507 hours. Resident 39's medication bubble pack (a package used to dispense medication) for lorazepam showed seven tablets remaining, which matched with the number of lorazepam tablets on the Record of Controlled Substances. However, review of Resident 39's electronic MAR for April 2024 failed to show documented evidence the lorazepam was administered to Resident 39 on 4/16/24 at 0507 hours, as shown in the Record of Controlled Substances. LVN 1 verified the above finding. LVN 1 stated the staff were expected to sign the narcotic count sheet and MAR immediately after the medication was removed from the bubble pack. On 4/18/24 at 1458 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON was informed and acknowledged the above finding.

F 0909 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Regularly inspect all bed frames, mattresses, and bed rails (if any) for safety; and all bed rails and mattresses must attach safely to the bed frame. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' entrapment assessments were complete and the measurements were recorded during the bed inspection when identifying areas of possible entrapment with the use of side rails for six of 21 final sampled residents (Residents 16, 18, 33, 61, 62, and 351). These failures had the potential to negatively impact the residents resulting in possible entrapment, serious injury, and death. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Proper use of side rail dated 12/2016 showed an assessment will be made to determine the resident's symptoms, risk for entrapment. When side rail usage is appropriate, the facility will assess the space between the mattress and side rails to reduce the risk for entrapment (the amount of safe space may carry depending the type of bed and mattress being used). According to the Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment, the term entrapment describes an event in which a patient/resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the space in or about the bed rail, mattress, or hospital bed frame. Patient entrapments may result in deaths and serious injuries. These entrapment events have occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between split rails, and between the bed rails and head or foot boards. The population most vulnerable to entrapment are elderly patients and residents, especially those who are frail, confused, restless, or who have uncontrolled body movement. The seven areas in the bed system where there is a potential for entrapment are: - Zone 1: within the rail; - Zone 2: under the rail, between the rail supports or next to a single rail support; - Zone 3: between the rail and the mattress; - Zone 4: under the rail, at the ends of the rail; - Zone 5: between split bed rails; - Zone 6: between the end of the rail and the side edge of the head or foot board; and - Zone 7: between the head or foot board and the mattress end. 1.
