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.

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.

**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

Resident 64 could attend physical therapy. Licensed Staff O stated she had previously requested from the
Rehabilitative Therapy Department to work with her during 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. while the feeding was
scheduled to be turned off. Licensed Staff O then left the room to demonstrate physical therapy was
working with Resident 64 in the hallway just outside of her room. Licensed Staff O stated Resident 64 was
tolerating her tube feedings as nursing would check if the formula was not being absorbed by the stomach.
At 2:45 p.m., Resident 64 was working with physical therapy and the tube feeding continued to be turned
off.
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. RD J stated
Resident 64's was considered significant and of concern since it had been going downward and not
stabilizing or remaining the same.

64's bedside, she stated there was approximated 300 milliliters of formula left in the tube feeding bag and
the tube feeding would be stopped at 10:00 a.m., per the doctor's order. Licensed Staff P stated the tube
feeding bag might be used for the tube feeding when it would be started back up at 2:00 p.m., since the bag
would not have expired. Licensed Staff P stated for charting purposes she would document when she
turned off the feeding and when it was turned back on, and on a separate piece of paper she would
document the water given to Resident 64 and how many millileters of the feeding was infused during the
shift. Licensed Staff P demonstrated where then tube feeding milliliter numbers were documented. A review
of Resident 64's, Intake and Output Record indicated for the month of March, the following days did not
indicate 24-hour totals were calculated, [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE] and [DATE].
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:43 with DON, she stated there is no weight loss committee, but the
Department managers discussed what was going on with residents daily. DON stated she was not aware
that physical therapy was working with Resident 64 outside of the times set aside for therapy (10:00 a.m. to

to 12 suggests moderately impaired and 0 to 7 suggests severe impairment) score of 9 out 15.
During an interview and concurrent record review with Staff H on 3/09/22 11:11 a.m., Staff H verified
Resident 50 had a Physician standing order for Psychologist Referral. The order, dated 2/7/22, indicated the
facility would contact a psychologist (a professional who practices psychology and studies normal and
abnormal mental states, emotional and social processes and behavior). Staff H stated the facility's process
required Social Services to review the order and secure the referral with a psychologist.
Staff H stated Resident 50 was started on a medication as needed (PRN) on 3/06/22 for anxiety. Staff H
stated Resident 50 had not received any medication for anxiety until 3/05/22.
During concurrent interview and record review with Management (Mgt) B on 3/09/22 at 11:27 a.m., Mgt B
stated she made the referral with Psychologist K on 2/11/22. Mgt B stated Resident 50 had not been
evaluated by Psychologist K. Mgt B stated she thought there was a barrier with Resident 50's insurance or
payment source, which resulted in no evaluation. Mgt B stated she contacted Resident 50's insurance
company on 2/14/22, and learned Psychologist K was listed on the insurace company's approved clinician
list. Mgt B confirmed she had no documentation indicating she notified Psychologist K of the insurance's

Ensure each resident’s drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs.
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 the drug regimen for one of 17
residents (Resident 33) was free from unnecessary drugs, when facility staff administered laxitive
medication to Resident 33 when the resident had loose bowel movements, contrary to physician order. This
failure resulted in Resident 33 receiving medication that was not clinically indicated, which had the potential
to cause unnecessary discomfort and stress to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and delay diagnosis for the
cause of the GI resident's distress.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During a review of Resident 33's Discharge summary, dated [DATE], this document indicated Resident 33
was in the hospital 11/16/21 to 11/21/21 for epididymitis/orchitis (inflammation and infection of the scrotum
and testicles). The summary indicated Resident 33 was started on antibiotics in the hospital and continued
taking them at the facility, until the end date of 12/1/21.
During a review of Resident 33's Bowel Elimination task report for 12/2021 documented Resident 33 was
having large loose/diarrhea stools. On 12/1/21 and 12/3/21 Resident 33 had 1 normal and 1 large loose
stool. On 12/4/21 Resident 33 had 2 large loose stools. On 12/8/21 Resident 33 had 1 large loose stool. On
12/9/21 Resident 33 had 1 normal stool and 1 large loose stool. On 12 /10/21 Resident 33 had 2 large
loose stools and 1 large putty like stool. On 12/11/21 Resident 33 had 1 normal stool and 2 loose stools. On
12/12/21 Resident 33 had 2 large loose stools.
During a review of Resident 33's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 12/2021, the MAR
revealed that Resident 33 had been on 2 antibiotics for cellulitis that was started 11/22/21. The last dose of
antibiotics was scheduled for 12/1/21 and administered. In addition to antibiotics, the MAR indicated
Resident 33 was on Senna (a laxative to prevent constipation), 1 tablet to be given twice-a-day (morning
and evening). The MAR indicated to hold (e.g., not administer) the Senna if Resident 33 had loose stools.
Resident 33's MAR indicated Senna was administered everyday, twice-a-day, from 12/1/21 to 12/10/21. The
Senna was not administered on 12/11/21. On 12/12/13, the MAR indicated the morning dose was given,
but the evening dose was held. In addition to Senna, the MAR indicated Resident 33 also received MiraLAX
(a laxative used to treat occasional constipation), for administered once everyday, but held if the resident
exhibited diarrhea. Similarly to Senna, MiraLAX was administered to Resident 33 from 12/1/21 to 12/10/21,
held on 12/11/21, but administered on 12/12/21 and 12/13/21.
During a review of Resident 33's Progress Notes, on 12/10/21 at 1:15 p.m., Staff L documented Resident
33 had a bout of diarrhea before lunch, and staff would continue to monitor.
During a review of Resident 33's Progress Notes, on 12/12/21 at 7:53 p.m., Staff M documented that the
physician was notified that Resident 33 had a change of condition, a fever of 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit.
Recommendations by the physician were to get urine and blood work done if fever recurs.
During an interview on 3/11/21 at 10:30 a.m., DON stated that it was known that Resident 33 had some
diarrhea, and they held his laxatives. DON stated Resident 33 normally had one large normal stool every
day. DON stated that the bout of diarrhea that she knew of did not appear to be a stool infected with
Clostridioides difficile (C. Diff., a germ that causes severe diarrhea and inflammation of the colon, presents

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.

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.
