F 0563 Honor the resident's right to receive visitors of his or her choosing, at the time of his or her choosing. 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 residents could receive visitors outside of regular working hours for one (Resident 64) of 17 sampled residents. This failure did not ensure Resident 64's rights, and had the potential to negatively affect residents' psychosocial outcomes due to restricted visitation of families and friends who may want to visit and cheer-up residents in the morning or evening, outside of business hours. Residents Affected - Some Findings: A review of Resident 64's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a history of bleeding between the brain and tissue covering the brain, high blood pressure, insulin dependent diabetes and generalized muscle weakness. During an observation on 3/7/22 at 12:38 p.m., in Resident 64's room, she was observed sleeping in her bed not opening her eyes or responding to name by voice. Resident 64 could not be interviewed as she would not wake up, become alert and respond to requests for interview. During an interview on 3/9/22 at 1:43 p.m., with Resident 64's Responsible Party (RP), the RP stated she could come and visit Resident 64 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and that those were the facility's visiting hours, posted on the door coming into the facility. Resident 64's RP stated she would not ask to visit outside of these posted visiting hours since those were the rules, and she would follow the rules. During an interview on 3/10/22 at 3:11 p.m., with Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated as part of her role as infection preventionist she did not participate in determining visiting hours. During an interview on 3/10/22 at 3:26 p.m., with Direct of Nursing Services (DON), the DON stated she had participated in determining visiting hours and the recommended visiting hours were from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The DON stated the time frame had been determined to not conflict with resident care. During an interview on 3/10/22 at 3:36 p.m., with the Administrator (Admin), the Admin stated the posting on the door for visiting hours were from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. but visitors could arrive at the facility outside of those hours and still be allowed to visit. Admin stated she would not know if visitors wanted to come to the facility outside of the posted hours unless someone approached her to request a different visiting time.

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. Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to care plan (care plans provide communication among nurses, their residents and other healthcare providers to achieve health care outcomes) its continued use of a position change alarm (an audible alarm that alerts staff the resident is getting up, and that should be used only when medically necessary and with intermittent reevaluation for continued use) for for 1 of 17 sampled residents (Resident 28). Resident 28 was known to remove the clip connected to the alarm. The failure to care plan resulted in the position change alarm constantly in use, and had the potential to diminish Resident 28's psychosocial well-being. Findings: During an observation on 3/7/22 at 11:10 a.m., Resident 28 was sleeping in her bed. A position change alarm device was visible at the head of her bed. During an observation and concurrent interview on 3/8/22 at 10:25 a.m., Resident 28 was resting in bed. Staff L stated Resident 28 prefers to get up after lunch. We get her up into a wheelchair and she moves herself around the facility. Staff L stated we use the position change alarm every time Resident 28 is in her wheelchair and added, Resident 28 can remove the clip and string attached to the position change alarm. During an observation and concurrent interview on 3/10/22 at 10:25 a.m., Resident 28 was in her wheelchair at the doorway to her room and the position change alarm was in place. Staff L stated we always use the alarm, and the use of the alarm should be a part of the care plan. During an observation and concurrent interview on 3/11/22 at 9:20 a.m., Resident 28 was seen in the hall, a few doors from her bedroom. Staff N stated we use the position change alarm while Resident 28 is in bed and when she is in the wheelchair. Staff N stated we use the alarm because she is a fall risk and an elopement risk. Staff N stated, Resident 28 can propel herself all around the facility and likes to go to the doors to look outside. Staff N stated Resident 28 knows how to remove the clip and string attached to the alarm and will hide the clip. Staff N stated Everyone (staff) is to lookout for her and to respond when the alarm sounds. During a record review of Resident 28's Medication Review Report (recap of Physician orders) March 2022, revealed that a position change alarm was not ordered by an MD. During a record review of Resident 28's care plan, (printed 3/11/22) The care plan included a focus for Risk for Wandering or Elopement. The interventions listed were offering to walk with Resident 28, redirecting her when seen going toward door, offering structured activities, food, conversations, television and reading materials and providing her with a consistent routine. During a record review of Resident 28's care plan, (printed 3/11/22) The care plan included a focus for Risk of Falls. The interventions listed were anticipate and meet Resident 28's needs, make sure call light is within reach and respond promptly, ensure Resident 28 has appropriate footwear and provide Resident 28 a safe environment such as clean, clutter free floors, good lighting and a working call light.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to revise a care plan with updated interventions for one (Resident 64) of 17 sampled residents, when facility staff reviewed the nutritional care plan but did not document new interventions to manage resident 64's continued weight loss. This failure resulted in Resident 64 suffering significant weight loss within one month. Findings: During a review of Resident 64's, admission Record she had been admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a history of bleeding between the brain and tissue covering the brain, high blood pressure, insulin dependent diabetes and generalized muscle weakness. During a review of Resident 64's, Dietary Progress Notes, dated 2/15/22, the Dietary Progress Note indicated Resident 64 was admitted to the facility with a weight of 44.8 kilograms or 98.56 pounds. Resident 64 has been prescribed a tube feeding (nutrients are supplied through a tube for people who cannot get enough nutrients through eating) formula to be infuse 55 milliliters (ml) an hour (hr.) for 20 hours and to stop the feeding from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., so Resident 64 could participate in therapy. Additional water had been added to meet 100% of her estimated nutritional needs. During a review of Resident 64's, Nursing Progress Notes dated 2/17/22, indicated the tube feeding hourly rate was going at a rate of 45 ml/hr. on 2/17/22, Dietary Progress Note, indicated the rate for the tube feeding was changed to 55 ml/hr per the doctor's order. Resident 64's weight was measured and indicated to be 94 lbs. During a review of Resident 64's, Dietary Progress Notes, dated 2/25/22 indicated Resident 64's weight had been measured at 90.8 lbs. The rate of tube feeding was recommended to be increased to 65 ml/hr. due to weight loss and additional water was added to meet nutritional needs. Blood sugar ranged from 117 to 390 with an average of 230 indicted in the dietary note. During a review of Resident 64's, Dietary Progress Notes dated 3/4/22 indicated Resident 64's weight had been measured at 89.4 lbs. Blood sugar levels were indicated to range from 90 to 389 with an average of 242. The dietary noted indicated Resident 64 had an unintended weight loss of 4.6 lbs. or 4.9% of total body weight. Dietary noted indicated Resident 64 remained on appropriate tube feed formula and she was meeting 100% or greater of her estimated needs. During an observation on 3/7/22 at 12:38 p.m., in Resident 64's room, she was observed sleeping in her bed not opening her eyes or responding to name by voice. Resident 64 could not be interviewed as she would not wake up and respond. During an interview on 3/10/22 at 3: 55 p.m. with RD J, she stated Resident 64 had high blood sugar levels and with those levels being so high, she would be unable to absorb the tube feeding formula and gain weight without additional insulin to lower the blood sugar levels and bring that sugar or energy back into the cells. RD J stated that more insulin would help Resident 64's body absorb the formula better and might allow her to gain weight. RD J stated she thought she should have followed up with the doctor regarding the consistently high blood sugar levels. RD J stated she had not spoken with the nursing staff to ask if Resident 64 had been getting all the formula being prescribed and (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056072 If continuation sheet Page 5 of 20 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 056072 B.

During an interview on [DATE] at 3: 55 p.m. with RD J, she stated she was aware of Resident 64's wieght loss and stated each time she was weighed there were new calculations regarinding required nutritional needs. RD J stated she was aware the current tube feeding regime had not been assisting Resident 64 in stablizing if not gaining weight but stated the calculation were based on evidence based practice for dieticians. RD J stated, Resident 64 had high blood sugar levels and with those levels being so high, she would be unable to absorb the tube feeding formula and gain weight without additional insulin to lower the blood sugar levels. RD J stated that more insulin would help Resident 64's body absorb the formula better and might allow her to gain weight. RD J stated she thought she should have followed up with the doctor regarding the consistently high blood sugar levels. RD J stated she had not spoken with the nursing staff to ask if Resident 64 had been getting all the formula being prescribed and if there were any challenges like the therapy schedule which might have interfered with her getting all the formula prescribed.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some first two weeks of December 2021, the time when the resident had loose bowel movements and immediately after the resident completing concurrent courses of antibiotics. During a review of Resident 33's Discharge summary dated [DATE] indicated Resident 33 presents back to the ED for further evaluation of fevers, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Resident 33 was found to have C Diff Positive which is Clostridioides difficile. Illness from Clostridioides difficile typically occurs after one's use of antibiotic medications. The germ most commonly affects older adults in hospitals or in long-term care facilities. The most common signs and symptoms of mild-to-moderate C. difficile infection are watery diarrhea three or more times a day for more than one day, and mild abdominal cramping and tenderness. Signs and symptoms of severe infection include: Watery diarrhea as often as 10 to 15 times a day abdominal cramping and pain which may be severe, fever and nausea. This information is from the CDC webpage: CDC Healthcare-associated Infections (HAI) Diseases and Organisms. The facilities policy Surveillance for Infections, dated 2/2022, instructed the IP or DON will conduct ongoing surveillance for Healthcare-Associated Infections and other epidemiological significant infections that have substantial impact on potential resident outcome and that may require transmission-based precaution . Infections that should be included were pneumonia, urinary tract infections and Clostridioides difficile. 1) During an observation on 03/09/22 10:00 a.m., in Resident 14's room, the IP prepared sterile liquid to wash and clean the wound/pressure ulcer in right hip and applied wound gel then covered the wound with sterile bandage. IP removed the dirty gloves and placed them inside the dirty plastic bag and sealed the bag with her bare hands. IP handed the dirty plastic bag to Certified Nursing Assistant to put in garbage. IP opened the resident's bathroom door using her bare hands, but the bathroom was occupied by a resident. IP then opened the other exit door with her bare hands. During an interview on 3/9/22 at 10:15 a.m., with IP stated the hand sanitizers were located outside resident's rooms in the hallway. During an interview on 03/10/22 09:27 a.m., with IP stated, Resident 14 was colonized (MRSA was present but not causing illness) with MRSA. IP stated Resident 14's condition only required standard precautions (e.g., universal precautions used fo avoiding contact with patients' bodily fluids, by means of the wearing of nonporous articles such as medical gloves, goggles, and face shields). IP stated she did not clean the doorknobs after she touched it with her dirty hands. IP stated the Primary Medical Doctor (PMD) did not order isolation precaution for Resident 14. During an interview on 3/10/22 at 9:29 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated IP's dirty hands touched dirty doorknobs, what's the difference, both were dirty? During an interview on 03/10/22, at 10:13 a.m., the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated staff must use contact precaution when faced with the potential exposure of body fluids, to prevent the spread of an infection to other resident, staff, and visitors. The DSD stated, all surfaces needed to be clean and disinfect with bleach. During a telephone interview on 03/11/22, at 09:44 a.m., the Primary Medical Doctor (PMD) for Resident 14 stated the resident's wound was colonized with MRSA.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some A review of medical records for Resident 14 titled Nursing Care plan dated 1/13/22, indicated the wound was reinfected with green purulent drainage. A review of the facility Policy & Procedure (P&P) titled Handwashing/Hand hygiene dated 1/2019 revealed, The facility considers hand hygiene the primary means to prevent the spread of infections., #2 All personnel shall follow the handwashing/hand hygiene procedures to help prevent the spread of infections to other personnel, residents, and visitors. #3 Hand hygiene products and supplies (sinks, soap, towels, alcohol-based hand rub, etc.) shall be readily accessible and convenient for staff use to encourage compliance with hand hygiene policies. #7j After handling used bandages, contaminated equipment, etc. #7 m. after removing gloves. #8 Hand hygiene is the final step after removing and disposing of personal protective equipment. A review of facility (P&P) titled Isolation-categories of Transmission-based Precautions dated 12/2020, indicated: It is the intent of this facility that all resident blood body fluids, excretions and secretions other than sweat will be considered potentially infectious so standard precautions will be used for all residents. Contact Precautions 1) Contact Precautions may be implemented for residents known or suspected to be infected with microorganisms (germs) that can be transmitted by direct contact with the resident. 4) Staff . will wear gloves (clean, non-sterile) when entering the room. When caring for a resident, staff will change gloves after having contact with infective material (for example, fecal material and wound drainage). Gloves will be removed, and hand hygiene performed before leaving the room. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow the Infection Control Policy for 2 of 17 residents (Residents 14 and 33) when: 1. The Infection Preventionist (IP) did not perform hand hygiene between concluding a wound care and treatment for one resident (Resident 14) and touching doorknobs inside the resident's room. In 7/2021, Resident 14's wound became colonized with an infection caused Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, a strain of bacteria resistant to certain antibiotics and spread by contact with infected people, surfaces, or things that carry the bacteria); 2. Resident 33 exhibited potential symptoms of C. Diff. (a healthcare-associated infection causing loose stools) but the facility delayed implementation of its infection surveillance policy. These failures delayed monitoring and treatment for Resident 33's infection, and had the potential to spread MRSA and C. Diff infections among residents in the facility.
