What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 10 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0582 Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure eligible residents were provided with Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (ABN) (a notice a provider gives after receiving services based on Medicare, Federal funded program that covers skilled nursing facility) in writing for one of three sampled residents (Resident 6). Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice failed to provide Resident 6 with timely notice of non-coverage and an opportunity to appeal the denial of Medicare part A benefits. Findings: During a clinical record review for Resident 6, the Facesheet (a document which includes admission dates, contact details and a brief medical history) indicated Resident 6 was admitted on [DATE]. During a clinical record review for Resident 6, the start date for her Medicare part A stay was 8/22/18. The last covered day for Medicare benefits was on 10/2/19. The Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) letter was signed on 10/1/19 by Resident 6. During a concurrent interview and record review with the business office manager (BOM) and the business office assistant (BOA), on 3/13/19, at 11:07 a.m., the BOA stated the facility did not issue notice of last covered day (NOMNC) to Resident 6 or RP in a timely manner. The BOA stated she usually gave the NOMNC letter three to four days before the last covered day. The BOM reviewed the NOMNC and stated the letter given to Resident 6 provided one day of notice and not three days. The BOA stated she spoke to Resident 6's sister about the last covered day, but did not document the conversation regarding the last covered day. The BOA stated the NOMNC should have been given three days before the last covered day of Medicare benefits. The BOA stated she should have issued the NOMNC on 9/28/18 and it was not. During a review of the facility document titled, MEDICARE DENIAL QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 2017 dated 1/17, indicated, .When to Deliver the NOMNC .The NOMNC must be delivered at least two calendar days before Medicare covered services end or the second to the last day of service if care is not being provided daily . Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

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. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a person centered care plan for one of six sampled residents (Resident 67) when there was no care plan to address Resident 67's refusal to accept laboratory blood draws ordered by the physician. This failure placed Resident 67 at risk of not receiving appropriate, consistent, and individualized care interventions to ensure his well-being. Findings: During an observation on 3/12/19, at 8:30 a.m., in the resident's room, Resident 67 was lying in bed on his back asleep. During a review of the clinical record for Resident 67, the admission Record (document containing resident's personal information) dated 3/14/19, indicated Resident 67 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. During a concurrent interview and record review with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 8, on 3/13/19, at 2:32 p.m., LVN 8 reviewed Resident 67's Medication Review Report, dated 3/14/19, and stated Resident 67 physician gave orders on 11/27/18 for monthly lab draw for CBC (complete blood count) (a test that measures the cells that make up blood) and CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel) (a panel of tests that gives a healthcare provider important information about the current status of a person's metabolism). LVN 8 stated Resident 67's physician also gave orders for Hgb (hemoglobin) A1C test (blood test used to measure the average level of glucose (sugar) in the blood over a period of three months) to be drawn every three months. During an interview with LVN 8, on 3/13/19, at 2:48 p.m., she stated Resident 67 refused his laboratory monthly blood tests since September 2018.

Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential risk of Resident 67 not receiving the appropriate care and possible adverse side effects to medications requiring routine laboratory monitoring. Findings: During on observation on 3/12/19, at 8:30 a.m., in the resident's room, Resident 67 was lying in bed on his back asleep. During a review of the clinical record for Resident 67, the admission Record, (document containing resident's personal information) indicated Resident 67 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. During a concurrent interview and record review with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 8, on 3/13/19, at 2:32 p.m., she reviewed Resident 67's Medication Review Report, dated 3/14/19, and stated Resident 67 had a physician's order dated 11/27/18 for CBC (complete blood count) (a test that measures the cells that make up blood) and CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel) (a panel of tests that gives a healthcare provider important information about the current status of a person's metabolism) monthly, and a HB (hemoglobin) A1C test (blood test used to measure the average level of glucose (sugar) in the blood over a period of three months) every three months. LVN 8 verified Resident 67 had a physician order dated 3/12/19 for CBC and CMP for one time. LVN 8 reviewed the clinical record and was unable to find documentation of the monthly lab results. During an interview with LVN 8, on 3/13/19, at 2:48 p.m., she stated Resident 67 refused his laboratory blood tests since September 2018 (past six months). During a concurrent interview and clinical record review with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 3/14/19, at 2:27 p.m., she stated Resident 67 was refusing laboratory blood tests. The DON reviewed the clinical record and was unable to find documentation the physician was notified of Resident 67's refusal of laboratory blood tests for the past six months. The DON stated the facility expectation was for the nurses to notify Resident 67's physician of blood test refusals and that did not occur.

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow their Storage of Medication and Labeling of Medication Containers policy and procedure when three of three insulin solution pens (medication used to treat high blood sugar) were found expired and one vial of tuberculin solution (a protein derivative to test for tuberculosis, a bacterial infection affecting the lungs) was found with no expiration date in the medication storage room refrigerator. These failures had the potential to place Resident 55, 74 and 30 at risk of receiving expired insulin which could lead to ineffective control of blood sugar and place residents at risk of receiving expired tuberculin solution and have adverse reactions from the expired medication. Findings: 1. During a concurrent observation and interview with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, on 3/13/19, at 2:45 p.m., the [NAME] Wing medication cart had insulin Basaglar injection flex pen (insulin with injection device) labeled with an open date of 2/9/19 and expiration date of 3/11/19. RN 1 stated the insulin had expired two days prior. During a concurrent observation and interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 9, on 3/13/19, at 3:50 p.m., the medication room refrigerator on the [NAME] Wing nurses' station had a vial of tuberculin solution with an opened date of 2/7/19. The vial of tuberculin solution was not labeled with an expiration date. LVN 9 stated, It [Tuberculin solution] is good for 30 days once it is opened. This medication expired on 3/8/19. LVN 9 stated the facility had not admitted new residents after 3/6/19 and that was the reason the expired vial of tuberculin solution had been missed. LVN 9 stated, It [tuberculin solution] could have been given to residents when it was already expired and would have had inaccurate result. During a concurrent interview and record review with LVN 12, on 3/14/19, at 8:20 a.m., she stated insulin pens had to be labeled with the date opened and the expiration date. LVN 12 stated, Expired medications could be given to residents if the insulin pens were not labeled with expiration dates. During an interview with LVN 9, on 3/14/19, at 8:55 a.m., she stated, When a new medication like an insulin is brought out of the refrigerator, the licensed nurse had to label the medication with the date opened and the expiration date. During an interview with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), on 3/14/19, at 9:40 a.m., the DSD stated insulin pens had to be labeled with the date it was opened and the expired date. DSD stated, It (expired insulin) could be given to residents past the expiration date and create a problem. During a concurrent medication cart observation and interview with RN 1, on 3/18/19, at 10 a.m., she stated I don't check the expiration dates of the insulin pens in the cart. I trust the nurses are labeling with the correct dates. RN 1 checked the insulin medication pens in the medication cart and noticed an insulin pen labeled Basaglar Inj [injection] . The insulin pen was labeled with a hand written open date of 3/14/19 and discard date of 4/12/19. RN 1 stated the medication was for Resident 55. The pharmacy label indicated, .Discard 28 days after opened. RN 1 stated the expiration date on the label was wrong. RN 1 stated the discard date should have been 4/11/19.

F 0838 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Conduct and document a facility-wide assessment to determine what resources are necessary to care for residents competently during both day-to-day operations (including nights and weekends) and emergencies. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to create a facility assessment specific to the need of facility population and location as part of the required facility assessment, when the facility assessment did not include the required water management program. This practice failed to establish an individualized facility assessment to meet the requirement for a water management program. Findings: During an interview with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS), on 3/14/19, at 2 p.m., he stated the facility did not have a water management program in place. The MS stated he only checked the water temperature daily and emergency water supplies monthly for presence of minerals. MS stated he did not test for Legionella (disease is a severe, often lethal, form of pneumonia [lung inflammation caused by bacterial, in which the lung air sacs fill with pus], caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophila found in both potable and non-potable water systems [showers, sinks and water fountains]). The MS stated, I do not have an emergency plan in placed if a water test comes out positive [for Legionella]. The MS stated, we [the facility] have one water fountain in the outdoor courtyard. The MS stated he was unaware if the water fountain was tested for waterborne bacteria. During an interview with the Administrator in training (AIT), on 3/14/19 at 3 p.m., AIT stated he was not sure if a water management program was part of the facility assessment. The AIT stated If it is not in the facility assessment binder, then it was not done. The AIT stated he was not aware of the AFL (all facilities letter) 18-39 regarding Reducing Legionella Risks in Health Care Facility Water System. The facility policy and procedure titled, [Facility name] Facility Assessment dated 1/22/19, indicated .Services waste management, hazardous waste management, telephone, HVAC, dental, barber/beauty, pharmacy .

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide accurate documentation for one of one sampled residents (Resident 74) when Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) continued to document hearing aids being used after the hearing aids were reported missing. This failure had the potential to delay the replacement of Resident 74's lost hearing aids and potential risk of Resident 74 to experience isolation and depression from not being able to adequately hear. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview with Family Member (FM) 1, on 3/12/19, at 9:06 a.m., in Resident 74's room, FM 1 stated the facility had lost Resident 74's hearing aids. Resident 74 was observed sitting in her wheel chair without her hearing aids. During a concurrent interview and record review with the Social Service Director (SSD), on 03/14/19, at 10:39 a.m., in the SSD office, she stated Resident 74's hearing aids went missing on 2/8/19. The SSD stated Resident 74 had an audiology appointment on 2/25/19 and a follow-up appointment was scheduled for 3/25/19 for new hearing aids. A document review of Resident 74's Report of Lost Property dated 2/8/19, indicated, Left and right hearing aids last seen on 2/7/19 AM. During a review of the clinical record for Resident 74, the Medication Administration Records (MAR) dated February 2019 and March 2019, indicated seven nurses (LVN 2, LVN 3, LVN 4, LVN 5, LVN 6, LVN 7, and LVN 8) documented they had either put the hearing aids in and made sure they were functioning or took hearing aids out and put them away 44 times on the MAR from 2/9/19 through 3/15/19. During a concurrent interview and record review with LVN 2, on 3/15/19, at 9:59 a.m., on the [NAME] Hall, LVN 2 stated she was unaware Resident 74 did not have hearing aids and did not know who was responsible for documenting hearing aids in on the MAR. LVN 2 reviewed the MAR and stated licensed nurses were responsible for documenting hearing aids accurately. LVN 2 stated she documented Resident 74's hearing aids were put in on 3/2/19, 3/4/19, and 3/5/19, and that was incorrect. LVN 2 stated she should have documented in the MAR notes that the hearing aids were missing. During a concurrent interview and record review with LVN 1, on 3/15/19, at 10:08 a.m., on the [NAME] Hall, LVN 1 stated Resident 74 was missing hearing aids in the morning on 2/9/19. LVN 1 informed the SSD and documented on the MAR notes unable to locate hearing aids. During a concurrent interview and record review with LVN 3, on 3/15/19, at 10:16 a.m., on the East Hall, LVN 3 stated she was aware Resident 74's hearing aids had been missing for a while. LVN 3 validated she documented that the hearing aids were in on 3/3/19. LVN 3 stated she did not know why she documented the hearing aids were in. During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 3/15/19, at 10:44 a.m., in the DON's office, the DON reviewed the MAR for February 2019 and March 2019 and confirmed that LVNs inaccurately documented Resident 74's hearing aids being put in in the AM shift and returned in the PM shift, 44 times. The DON confirmed Resident 74's hearing aids had been missing since 2/9/19.

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 follow their Policy and Procedure on infectious diseases when they failed to have an infection control program that was effective in identification of infections and communicable diseases when: Residents Affected - Many 1. Twenty of 51 sampled residents (Resident 6, 16, 18, 21, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 50, 64, 67, 74, 282, 283, 287, 288, 289, 290, 291) received Tamiflu (an antiviral medication) prophylactically (preventive use) following one resident exhibiting symptoms of influenza (a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory passages causing fever, severe aching) (flu) without documented surveillance and tracking. This resulted in the inadequate surveillance of 20 residents for flu like symptoms. 2. Nine of 9 sampled residents (Resident 18, 26, 31, 50, 286, 287, 288, 289 and 290) required hospitalization in a ten-day period for metapneumovirus (hMPV) (a respiratory virus that caused an upper respiratory infection and affected the nose, throat, and airways); there was no adequate survellance or tracking for infections. For Resident 286 and 289, this failure resulted in hospitalization with intubation (tube inserted through the nose or mouth into the trachea to help a person breathe) for respiratory failure and subsequent complications which led to their deaths. For Resident 18 and 31, this failure resulted in hospitalization for respiratory complications which subsequently lead to their deaths. For Resident 26, 50, 287, 288 and 290, this failure resulted in hospitalization for respiratory complications. 3. A facility water management plan was not created or implemented to reduce the risk of Legionella (a waterborne bacteria) and or other waterborne bacteria.
