What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 11 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. 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 accurate coding of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool to drive resident care plan) for four of seven sampled residents (Resident 42, 49, 52, and 64) when residents' tobacco use was incorrectly coded as No on the MDS despite evidence of tobacco use. This failure resulted in an inaccurate reflection of the residents' smoking status and had the potential to affect the development and implantation of resident-centered care plans.During a review of the admission Records (ARs) for Resident 42, 49, 52, and 64, printed on 1/7/25, the records indicated that these residents were admitted to the facility on [DATE], 12/3/25, 5/16/24, and 11/7/24, respectively.During observations on 1/6/26 and 1/7/26 at 11:35 a.m., Residents 42, 49, 52 and 64 were observed smoking on the recreation patio in Special Treatment Program (STP) unit.During an interview on 1/6/25 at 11:45 a.m., unit supervisor, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 stated Residents 42, 49, 52, and 64 were assigned to Group A, which had scheduled smoking time at 8:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:45 p.m., 4:30 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. daily.During a record review of the Smoking Risk assessments for Residents 42, 49, 52, and 64 dated 11/7/25, 12/3/25, 11/11/25, and 11/10/25, respectively, the assessments indicated Residents 42, 49, 52, and 64 were identified as smokers.During a record review of the MDS for Resident 42, 49, 52 and 64, dated 5/12/25, 12/10/25, 5/15/25, and 11/10/25, respectively, the Current Tobacco Use item was coded as NO.During an interview on 1/7/25 at 12:24 p.m., MDS Coordinator (MDSC) stated the tobacco use item on the MDS for Resident 42, 49, 52, and 64 should have been coded as Yes. MDSC stated that smoking was part of the treatment for residents in the facility's STP unit, where these residents resided. MDSC stated that MDS coding triggers the development of residents' care plans, and inaccurate MDS coding could potentially affect the development of resident-centered care plans.During a review of facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Resident Assessments, revision date 10/2023, No.12, indicated that information in the MDS assessments will consistently reflect information in the progress notes, plans of care, and resident observations/interviews.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, for one of two sampled residents (Resident 6) who were reviewed for accidents, the facility failed to ensure two staff were present and bed rails were provided during incontinent care (providing support for individuals who cannot control their bladder or bowels) when Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2 let go of Resident 6, with no bed rail to hold onto. Resident 6 fell out of bed and sustained fracture of the surgical neck of the left humerus with fracture line extension to the greater tuberosity (left shoulder fracture).During a review of Resident 6's admission Record (AR) dated 1/5/26, the AR indicated Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in November 2025 with multiple diagnoses that included hemiplegia (paralysis that affects only one side of the body) affecting right dominant side, and morbid obesity (severe obesity, excessive fat stores and a body mass index of 40 or higher (BMI, a measure of body fat based on height and weight, normal BMI 18.5-24.9).During review of Resident 6's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) assessment dated [DATE], the MDS indicated a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, a scoring system used to determine the resident's cognitive [mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and comprehension] status regarding attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall information) score of 15. A BIMS score of 13-15 is an indication of intact cognitive response.During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/5/26 at 10:38 a.m. with Resident 6, in the hallway close to Resident 6's room, Resident 6 wore a sling on the left arm. Resident 6 stated she had to wear it after falling two weeks after admission to the facility. Resident 6 stated falling out of bed when CNA 2 placed her in a right-side lying position but did not instruct her to hold onto anything. Resident 6 was unsure if there was a bed rail. Resident 6 stated she rolled out of bed, landing on her left side, and experienced immediate significant pain in the left shoulder after the fall. Resident 6 stated she was then sent to the hospital for treatment.During a review of Resident 6's Progress Notes dated 12/2/25, the Progress Notes indicated, on 12/2/25, at 5:20 a.m., CNA 2 Noticed that the resident had fallen. The Progress Notes further indicated, Resident 6 was turned on her side near the edge of the bed and slid off, resulting in the fall. Resident 6 was transferred to the hospital for further evaluation due to concern of possible injury or fracture.During a review of Resident 6's Emergency Department (ED) Provider Notes dated 12/2/25, the ED Notes indicated Resident 6 sustained an impacted (bone pieces are jammed together) fracture of the surgical neck with extension to the greater tuberosity (fracture of the left shoulder) and had been placed in a sling.During a telephone interview on 1/6/26 at 11:21 a.m. with CNA 2, CNA 2 stated, on 12/2/25, around 5-5:30 a.m., CNA 2 went to Resident 6's bedside to provide incontinent care. CNA 2 stated he informed Resident 6 of his intention to change her, to which Resident 6 responded with a faint mumble. CNA 2 stated he proceeded to change Resident 6 and her bed linen, which were soaked with urine. CNA 2 described himself as a tall person. CNA 2 stated he raised the bed height to his waist level and positioned himself on Resident 6's left side. CNA 2 then requested Resident 6 to turn to her right side (CNA 2 faced Resident 6's back) while he applied the fitted sheet to the foot of the bed. During this process, CNA 2 stated he observed Resident 6's legs began to slide towards the edge of the bed before she turned completely to her right and rolled out of bed. CNA 2 stated he reached over the bed to prevent Resident 6 from falling but found it difficult due to Resident 6's weight and her deep sleep state, Like she was in a deep coma. CNA 2 stated he was not familiar with Resident 6's care as it was his first assignment with her and that he did not receive any report or instructions from the charge nurse at the start of the shift.

They policy referenced CDC guidelines for disinfection and sterilization in healthcare facilities 2008 Residents Affected - Some During a review of Association for Professionals in Infection Control (APIC) document titled Strategies to mitigate cross contamination of non-critical medical devices, dated 2021, the document indicated Non-invasive portable clinical items shared among patients are part of the patient's immediate surroundings and may pose a threat of pathogen transmission. These items are not typically assigned to a specific patient and may be overlooked when establishing routine disinfection practices. Micro-organisms can live on these items' surfaces for long periods, with the micro-organisms' life spans depending in part on the material of the surface, the ambient air temperature and humidity, and the presence of organic material. The occurrence of infection from contaminated environmental surfaces and non-critical medical devices has been documented in the literature . inappropriate disinfection practices increase the risk of HAIs transmitted from such items . non-critical patient care items still frequently serve as reservoirs for multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDROs, bugs that antibiotic can't kill) . as well as other pathogens . healthcare providers seem to have a false sense of security that materials are microbiologically clean when they are visually clean. They urge healthcare providers to presume that surfaces are unclean rather than clean. During a review of CDC' s document, titled Recommendations for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities, dated 2008 and 2023, the document indicated 3C. Remove visible organic residue (e.g., residue of blood and tissue) and inorganic salts with cleaning. Use cleaning agents that are capable of removing visible organic and inorganic residues. 4c. Ensure that, at a minimum, noncritical patient-care devices are disinfected when visibly soiled and on a regular basis (such as after use on each patient or once daily or once weekly). 5g. uncertainty exists about the presence of multidrug resistant organisms on such surfaces. See recommendation 5n for recommendations requiring cleaning and disinfecting blood-contaminated surfaces. During a review of instruction sheet by manufacturer of Assure Platinum glucometer (a brand name by ARKRAY, the manufacturer of glucometer used by the facility), titled ARKRAY Technical Brief: Cleaning and Disinfecting the Assure Platinum Blood Glucose Monitoring System , dated 9/2024, the documents under Cleaning and Disinfecting FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) indicated Each time the cleaning and disinfecting procedure is performed, two wipes are needed. One wipe to clean the meter and the second wipe to disinfect the meter. What will happen if a blood glucose meter is not clean and disinfected after use? . It is important that long term care facility establish a program for infection control . Program include addressing the cleaning and disinfecting of blood glucose meters along with other equipment and environmental surfaces . It is also important to provide education on infection control and the proper use of products.
