F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of eight residents (59) had informed consent (written permission before implementing a healthcare intervention) prior to initiating a change in dosage of psychotropic medication (medication capable of affecting the mind, emotions, and behavior). This failure resulted in the resident receiving psychotropic medication without being informed about the change in dosage, the risks and side effects. Residents Affected - Few Findings: Review of Resident 59's admission Record indicated Resident 59 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including pneumonia (a lung infection), malignant neoplasm (cancer) of prostate (a gland in the male reproductive system), insomnia (a disorder in trouble falling asleep or staying asleep), and depression (an illness characterized by persistent sadness and a loss of interest in activities). Further review of Resident 59's admission Record indicated Resident 59 was the responsible party (health care decision maker). Review of Resident 59's Order Summary Report indicated, Trazodone HCl (antidepressant - a medication to treat depression) tablet 50 milligrams (mg, unit measurement) give 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime for DEPRESSION mb (manifested by) difficulty sleeping, date ordered, 04/03/2023. Review of Resident 59's clinical records, indicated there was no consent for the increased in Trazodone's dosage on April 2023. Further record review indicated, there was no documentation the nurses or the doctor notified Resident 59 and he agreed about the increased in Trazodone's dosage changes for April 2023. During an interview with Resident 59 on 06/13/2023 at 9:18 a.m., Resident 59 stated he was not aware about the name of the medication and he was not aware the dosage was increased to help him sleep. Resident 59 further stated nobody informed him about the Trazodone. During an interview with the health information manager (HIM) on 06/15/2023 at 5:38 p.m., HIM confirmed there was no consent for the increased in Trazodone's dosage on 04/03/2023.

F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately complete the PASRR (pre-admission screening and resident review, a federal requirement to help ensure individuals are not inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term care) for one of two residents (Resident 3). This failure had the potential to put the resident at risk for not receiving appropriate care and services. Findings: Review of Resident 3's clinical record indicated he had the diagnoses of depression (a group of conditions associated with the elevation or lowering of a person's mood), dementia (disorder of the mental process caused by brain disease or injury), schizoaffective disorder (a combination of schizophrenia [a disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly] and mood disorder), and unspecified psychosis (a mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality). Resident 3's preadmission PASRR Level 1 screening, dated 12/03/22, was reviewed. Question number 10, section 3 asked, Does the individual have a serious diagnosed mental disorder such as Depressive Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Schizophrenia/Schizoaffective Disorder, or symptoms of Psychosis, Delusions, and/or Mood Disturbance? The person who filled out the PASRR Level 1 screening marked no. Resident 3's physician's order, dated 3/14/23, indicated he was receiving Risperidone (medication used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (a disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive low to manic high), or irritability associated with autistic disorder (a serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact) 0.25 milligrams (mg, unit of dose measurement) one tablet by mouth one time a day for schizoaffective disorder evidenced by striking out/continued yelling. During an interview with the Minimum Data Set Consultant (MDS C) on 6/16/23, at 10:07 a.m., she stated the admissions personnel or the MDS was responsible for the PASRR program. During a concurrent interview and record review with the MDS Director (MDS D) on 6/16/23, at 1:34 p.m., she verified that Resident 3's PASRR Level 1 screening, dated 12/03/22, was filled out incorrectly. The MDS director confirmed the person who filled out the form should have marked yes for question number 10, section 3. According to Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS.gov) [was created to administer oversight of the Medicare Program and the federal portion of the Medicaid program], titled Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Technical Assistance for States dated 9/30/2009, description ,The state uses the evaluation to determine, prior to admission , whether Nursing Facilities (NF) placement is appropriate for the individuals, and whether the individuals requires specialized services for mental illness (MI)/mental retardation (MR),These screens generally consist of forms completed by hospital discharge planners, community health nurses , or other as defined by the state. Individuals who do or may have MI/MR are referred for a level II PASRR evaluation .( https://www.cms.gov/research-statistics-data-and-systems/statistics-trends-and-reports/activeprojectreports/active-projects accessed on 6/22/23).

F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow professional standards for one of 22 sampled selected residents (Resident 6) when Licensed Vocational Nurse G (LVN G) did not wait for the recommended time between each puff of the inhaler medications. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 6 to not receive the full amount of each medication and the adverse effects on resident's health. Findings: During a record review of Resident 6's clinical record indicated he was admitted to the facility with diagnosis including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD, a common lung disease causing restricted airflow and breathing problems). During a record review of Resident 6's physician orders included the following: - Tiotropium Bromide Monohydrate (Spiriva, oral inhaler to treats asthma) 18 micrograms (mcg, unit of mass), 1 capsule inhale orally in the morning for 2 inhalations. Symbicort 80-4.5 mcg (oral inhaler, used long-term to improve symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), 1 puff inhale orally and two times a day. During a medication pass observation on 6/14/2023 at 9:17 a.m., LVN G administered the Spiriva inhaler to Resident 6. Resident 6 self-administered the inhaler and performed two inhalations. Following this, the nurse immediately administered the Symbicort to Resident 6. Resident 6 self-administered the inhaler with one puff. However, LVN G did not instruct Resident 6 to wait five minutes between the two different medications. During an interview with LVN G on 6/15/2023 at 5:27 p.m., LVN G confirmed the above observation and she stated that she was not aware of the requirement to wait between different medications. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication Administration Operating Standard Guideline, dated 12/2012, indicated, Inhalers - .Wait 5 minutes between different medications .

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of Resident 145's clinical record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including post-traumatic stress disorder (mental health condition that may develop after a traumatic event). Review of Resident 145's physician orders indicated she had an order for oxygen at 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula (a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or airflow) as needed for oxygen saturation less than 92% on room air, dated 7/17/22 and discontinued on 6/5/23. Review of Resident 145's Smoking Safety Screen, dated 1/11/23 indicated the answer, Yes to Resident has expressed continued desire to smoke despite explained health and safety risks. The Smoking Safety Screen also indicated, Resident is a safe smoker and may smoke independently. (Note: Residents on Oxygen may not be independent smokers.) During an interview on 6/15/23 at 10:15 a.m., the director of nursing (DON) confirmed Resident 145 should not have been assessed to be an independent smoker because the resident was on oxygen. Review of the facility's policy, Smoking Policy, revised 2/2018 indicated the IDT (interdisciplinary team, a group of health care professionals from diverse fields who work toward a common goal for residents) was responsible for evaluating safety risks and staff will provide appropriate supervision for prohibiting smoking in the presence of oxygen use. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free of accidents and hazards for two of 22 sampled residents (39 and 145) when: 1. Resident 39's smoking safety was not reviewed quarterly and the smoking care plan was not followed; and 2. Resident 145 was not properly assessed for Smoking Safety Screen. These failures had the potential to result in serious injury to the residents in the facility. Findings: 1. Review of Resident 39's admission Record indicated, Resident 39 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including unspecified dementia (a group of symptoms affecting thinking and social abilities interfering with daily functioning), ataxia (impaired balance or coordination), polyneuropathy (nerve problem that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the body), history of falling, nicotine dependence and unspecified visual loss. Review of Resident 39's Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS-an assessment tool), dated 2/25/2023, indicated Resident 39's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, cognition level) score was 13, meaning he was cognitively intact. A review of Resident 39's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 39's BIMS score dropped to a 10, meaning he was moderately impaired with his cognition. Review of Resident 39's Smoking Safety Screen dated 2/27/2023, indicated, Resident is safe to smoke independently and smokes about 2 cigarettes daily.

F 0700 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. During a review of Resident 72's clinical record, indicated resident was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, Presence of Left Artificial Knee Joint; Parkinson's Disease (a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination); Obesity, unspecified; History of falling, unspecified; Abnormalities of gait and mobility. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/15/2023 at 10:30 a.m. with Resident 72, in resident's room, it was observed that the right bed rail of the resident's bed was loose and wobbly. Resident 72, who was alert and oriented, confirmed that the facility's staff was aware of the issue but had not addressed it. Resident 72 verbalized feeling unsafe when attempting to use the bed rail. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/15/2023 at 10:45 a.m., with the MD, in Resident 72's room. MD acknowledged the observation and confirmed that the right bed rail was indeed loose and wobbly. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/16/2023 at 2:04 p.m. with the Certified Nursing Assistant J (CNA J), in Resident 72's room, the CNA J stated the loose bed rail had been reported verbally to the MD a few months ago, but unsure of the exact date. 3. During a review of Resident 53s clinical record indicated resident was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including history of falling. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/15/2023 at 10:55 a.m. with MD in Resident 53's room, surveyor brought to MD's attention the right bed rail of Resident 53 was loose and wobbly. MD confirmed the issue, acknowledging the screw on the back of the bed rail needed to be tightened. MD proceeded to tighten the screw. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Proper Use of Bed Rails, dated 10/2022, the P&P indicated, Installation and Maintenance of Bed Rails: Checking bed rails regularly to make sure they are still installed correctly, and have not shifted or loosened over time. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to review the risks and benefits of bed rails (adjustable metal or rigid plastic bars that attach to the bed) for three of 22 sampled residents (Residents 81, 72 and 53). This failure had the potential to put the residents at risk for entrapment and serious injury due to not being aware of the risks and benefits of bed rails. Finding: 1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/12/23 at 9:49 a.m., in Resident 81's room, Resident 81 was lying in bed with half side rails up bilaterally (on both sides of the bed). Resident 81 stated her bed rails were very wobbly and seemed like they were going to break off.

F 0725 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. Based on interview and document review, the facility failed to provide sufficient number of nursing staff on a 24-hour basis based on Staffing Data Report submitted to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This failure had the potential to affect resident's care, health, and psychosocial wellbeing. Findings: During an interview with the staffing coordinator (SC) on 6/16/2023 at 4:10 p.m., SC confirmed staffing was a struggle. SC agreed the Direct Care Service Hours Per Patient Day (DHPPD) should have been 3.5. During an interview with the Excutive Director (ED) on 6/16/2023 at 4:23 p.m., ED stated the low staffing back on January - March 2023 was due to the storm, and Coronavirus disease (COVID-19, a disease caused by a contagious virus) outbreak. During a document review titled, Census and Direct Care Service Hours Per Patient Day, from January through March 2023, indicated the following dates with actual DHPPD were below 3.5: 1/1- 2.73; 1/2-3.08; 1/3-3.17; 1/4-3.21; 1/7-2.8; 1/8-2.85; 1/9-3.19; 1/10-3.18; 1/14 -2.36; 1/15-2.64; 1/17-3.29; 1/18-3.3; 1/19-3.06; 1/20-2.88; 1/21-2.84; 1/22-2.53; 1/28-3.06; 1/29-2.56; 1/31-3.34; 2/4-3.02; 2/5-3.28; 2/6-3.12; 2/7-3.34; 2/8-3.31; 2/11-3.22; 2/12-2.92; 2/17-3.35; 2/18-3.10; 2/19-3.07; 2/21-3.37; 2/25-3.38; 3/5-3.19; 3/11-3.24; 3/12-2.83; 3/18-2.71; 3/25-2.84; and 3/27-3.07. During a review of the facility's Certified Nursing Assistant's (CNA) waiver from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) dated, June 20, 2022, indicated, Your request is approved, only as applicable to the required 2.4 CNA staffing standard, and valid from July 1, 2022, until June 30, 2023, under the following conditions .2. The facility shall provide no less than 3.5 direct care hours per patient day. During a review of the All Facilities Letter (AFL) 21-11 dated March 17, 2021, indicated, The 3.5 DHPPD staffing requirement, of which 2.4 hours per patient day must be performed by CNAs, is a minimum requirement for SNFs (Skilled Nursing Facility). SNFs shall employ and schedule additional staff and anticipate individual patient needs for the activities of each shift, to ensure patients receive nursing care based on their needs. The staffing requirement does not ensure that any given patient receives 3.5 or 2.4 DHPPD; it is the total number of actual direct care service hours performed by direct caregivers per patient day divided by the average patient census.
