the expectation was to indicate the target behavior being monitored for the use of psychotropic
medications. The DON stated the target behavior should be measurable and should match what the
resident manifested. The DON stated these were important to identify if the resident still needed the
medication.

Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will
arrange for the provision of hospice services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure provision of hospice services (a
special kind of care that focuses on a person's quality of life and dignity as they near the end of their life) for
one of two residents (Resident 67) reviewed for hospice when:
1.
The facility did not have documentation of hospice staff visits,
2.
There was no schedule when a resident will be visited by hospice staff,
3.
The facility did not have an agreement with the hospice agency.
This failure had the potential to put Resident 67 at risk for uncoordinated medical care between the facility
and the hospice agency. In addition, Resident 67's ADL need for grooming was not met.
Findings:
Resident 67 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure with
hypercapnia (a condition where there is not enough oxygen or too much carbon dioxide in the body)
according to the facility's admission Record.
1. During a review of Resident 67's physician's orders for January 2025, the physician's orders indicated,
Admit to .Hospice ., dated 11/25/24.
An observation and interview was conducted with Resident 67 on 1/13/25 at 10:17 A.M. Resident 67 was
observed in bed watching TV. Resident 67 was observed with a thick beard and moustache. Resident 67
stated he needed his shaver adjusted because he would like his beard and moustache trimmed. Resident
67 stated his moustache was growing into his nose, it was uncomfortable, and nobody had offered to trim it.
Resident 67 stated he had hospice services, but he was not sure why he was on hospice.
A concurrent record review and interview on 1/14/15 at 1:50 P.M. with Licensed Nurses (LN) 1 and LN 2
was conducted. LN 1 showed the hospice binder for Resident 67. LN 1 stated there was a hospice nurse
who visited Resident 67 on 1/13/25 but have not seen any home health aides (HHA) or certified nurse
assistants. LN 2 stated he had not seen any hospice staff visit Resident 67. LN 1 stated there was no
documentation in the hospice binder or the nursing progress notes that a hospice nurse visited Resident 67
on 1/13/25. LN 1 stated there was only a LN documentation for 1/6/24 and a chaplain's visit on 1/9/25.
A phone interview was conducted on 1/14/25 at 3:11 P.M. with the Hospice Licensed Nurse (HLN). The
HLN stated she was familiar with Resident 67 and had visited Resident 67 yesterday, 1/13/25. The HLN
stated a LN and HHA visited Resident 67 twice a week and documented their visits on the hospice

Have a plan that describes the process for conducting QAPI and QAA activities.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review the facility's Quality Assessment and Assurance Committee
(QAA-facility group that monitors concerning trends in a facility) failed to identify and include in the facility's
Quality Assurance Performance Improvement plan (QAPI-plan developed by QAA to help improve
conditions in the facility) deficient trends found by surveyors during the recertification survey concerning
grooming/hygiene and the management of residents with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD- a mental
health condition that's caused by an extremely stressful or terrifying event - either being part of it or
witnessing it).
Residents Affected - Some
This failure had the potential for facility to overlook trends in resident care that might have affected
residents' health and quality of life.
Cross Reference: F677, F699
Findings:
On 1/16/25 at 1:32 P.M., a concurrent interview with the Administrator (ADM), the Infection Preventionist
(IP) and the Director of Nursing (DON) and a review of QAPI program was conducted. The ADM stated that
the main areas that the QAPI team were monitoring were falls, pressure ulcers and infection control
monitoring of hand hygiene and PPE usage. During the recertification survey, deficient trends in basic
grooming (nailcare and beard care) and the staff's lack of knowledge about caring for Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder residents were found. The ADM stated that neither of these trends had been identified by the QAA
Committee and/or included in the QAPI plan.
On 1/16/25 at 1:40 P.M., an interview with the ADM was conducted. The ADM stated that the expectation
was the QAA Committee should have identified the trends that were identified by the surveyors. In addition,
the ADM stated the deficient trends should have been included in the QAPI plan. The ADM stated the
importance of QAA Committee identifying deficient trends and including them in the QAPI plan was to
promote the highest standard of care for their residents.
On 1/16/25 at 1:50 P.M., an interview with the DON was conducted. The DON stated that the expectation
was that the QAA Committee should have identified the trends identified by surveyors. In addition, the DON
stated the deficient trends should have been included in the QAPI plan. The DON stated the importance of
QAA Committee identifying trends was to maintain residents' dignity (for grooming/hygiene) and to promote
the highest standard of care for their residents with PTSD.
Review of facility policy titled Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement dated February 2020
indicated .The objectives of the QAPI Program are to 1. Provide a means to measure current and potential
indicators for outcomes of care and quality of life. 2. Provide a means to establish and implement
performance improvement projects to correct identified negative or problematic indicators. 3. Reinforce and
build effective systems and processes related to the delivery of quality care and services. 4. Establish
systems through which to monitor and evaluate corrective actions .The QAPI plan describes the process for
identifying and correcting quality deficiencies. Key components of this process include: .C. Identifying and
prioritizing quality deficiencies

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure infection control procedures were
followed when a Licensed Nurse (LN) 12 did not wear a gown for Resident 55 with enhanced barrier
precautions (EBP - involves gown and glove use during high-contact resident care activities for residents
[example: residents with medical devices]), and perform hand hygiene (the practice of cleaning hands to
remove germs, dirt, or other harmful substances) consistently after removing his gloves while passing
medication (med/s) during med pass observation.
Residents Affected - Few
These failures had the potential for cross contamination, spread of infection and Resident 55's decline of
health.
Findings:
A review of Resident 55's admission Record indicated Resident 55 was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses which included Resident 55 had a gastrostomy tube (g-tube, a surgical opening fitted with a
device to allow feedings/ meds to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with
swallowing problems).
On 1/15/25 at 8 A.M., an observation and an interview were conducted with Licensed Nurse (LN) 12 while
preparing medications for Resident 55. There was an EBP sign attached to Resident 55's door. LN 12
stated he will check Resident 55's vital signs. LN 12 checked Resident 55's vital signs without putting a
gown.
On 1/15/25 at 8:12 A.M., another observation of LN 12 was conducted. LN 12 went back to Resident 55's
room and checked Resident 55's g-tube placement without putting a gown.
On 1/15/25 at 8:36 A.M., an observation was conducted of LN 12 while preparing Resident 55's
medications. LN 12 put gloves on, removed a gown from the wall, took out the gown from the plastic
package, placed the plastic package in the trash bin with his gloves, opened the trash bin with gloved
hands, put the gown to himself, moved the trash bin with gloved hand, did not remove his gloves, went to
Resident 55's room and proceeded to give the medications to Resident 55.
LN 12 instilled medication drops to Resident 55's eyes then gave the medications to Resident 55 via the
g-tube.
On 1/15/25 at 12:30 P.M., an interview was conducted with LN 12. LN 12 stated when providing care to
residents with EBP, staff were required to wear PPE, such as giving meds, checking residents' vital signs
and peri care to prevent cross contamination. LN 12 stated any direct contact to residents with EBP
required PPE use. LN 12 stated he forgot to wear a gown when he checked Resident 55's vital signs and
g-tube placement. LN 12 stated he did not realize he did not perform hand hygiene and changed gloves
when he touched the trash bin and gave Resident 55 his medications. LN 12 stated the trash bin was
considered dirty.
On 1/15/25 at 3:40 P.M., an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) was conducted. The DON stated
the expectation was for the staff to follow the procedures on EBP, to perform hand hygiene and changed
gloves when gloves were contaminated to prevent infection because residents were prone to getting an
infection.
