F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure five of nine sampled residents (Residents 41,30, 25, and 53) and/or their legal representatives (RP) were informed and/or provided written information about Advance Directives (AD, legal document that provides instructions regarding medical care according to the resident's wishes and only goes into effect if the resident can no longer communicate their wishes). This failure had the potential to result in lack of knowledge regarding care and treatment decision making for Residents 41, 30, 25, and 53. Findings: A. During a review of Resident 41's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 41 on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with daily activities) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (disorder causing elevated sugar level in the blood). The AR indicated Resident 41 had Responsible Party 1 (RP 1) as the emergency contact. During a review of Resident 41's History and Physical (H&P), dated [DATE], the H&P indicated Resident 41 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. The H&P's portion indicating, Advanced Directive Executed, was left blank/unchecked. During a review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident assessment and care-planning tool), dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 41 had severely impaired cognitive skills (ability to obtain and process information) for daily decision-making. During a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE] at 1:51 PM with Registered Nurse 3 (RN 3), Resident 41's medical records were reviewed. RN 3 stated RP 1 did not sign Resident 41's Advance Directive Acknowledgment [ADA, document that indicates residents and/or their legal RP were informed and/or provided written information about AD] form. RN 3 stated there was no documented evidence RP 1 was provided information regarding AD and written information on AD formulation. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:38 AM with the Social Services Director (SSD), the SSD stated the SSD offered AD information upon a resident's (in general) admission to the facility. The SSD stated if the H&P indicated a resident was unable to make decisions, the SSD offered the RP the AD information and/or written information on AD formulation and would have the resident and/or RP sign the Advance Directive Acknowledgment form. The SSD stated it was important to offer AD information upon (continued on next page) 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.

F 0636 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every 12 months. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure comprehensive assessments of the disease diagnoses, health conditions, and/or medications, were complete and accurate, for two of two sampled residents (Residents 27 & 20). This failure had the potential to result in a decline in the residents' physical and psychosocial well-being due to inaccurate or inconsistent plan of care. Findings: A. During a review of Resident 27's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 27 on 5/7/2021 with multiple diagnoses including dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with daily activities), Parkinsonism (brain conditions that cause slowed movements, stiffness, and tremors), and major depressive disorder (depression, mental disorder with persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities that interfere with daily life]). During a review of Resident 27's History and Physical (H&P), dated 7/6/2023, the H&P indicated Resident 27 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 27's physician order (PO), dated 7/14/2023, the PO indicated healthcare provider 1 (HCP 1) initially ordered Ativan (generic name lorazepam, medication to treat anxiety [excessive and persistent feelings of worry, fear, dread, and uneasiness that interfere with daily life]) 0.5 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement) 1 tab by mouth twice a day for generalized anxiety disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by feelings of fear, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough to interfere with daily activities) manifested by verbal outbursts screaming for help. During a review of Resident 27's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident assessment and care-planning tool), dated 4/8/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 27 had moderate impairment in cognition (ability to obtain and process information). The MDS indicated Resident 27 required substantial/maximal assistance with most self-care activities and partial/moderate assistance with mobility. During a review of Resident 27's Order Summary Report (OSR) for 5/2024, the OSR indicated the following physician's order: 1. Order Date: 10/30/2023 - lorazepam tablet 1 mg by mouth two times a day for generalized anxiety disorder manifested by verbal outburst, screaming for help and tally by hashmarks. During a review of Resident 27's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for 5/2024, MAR indicated the following: 1. Lorazepam 1 mg 1 tablet was administered at 9 AM and at 5 PM from 5/1/2024 through 5/28/2024. 2.

RN 4 stated Resident 27's AR, MDS, dated [DATE], and MDS, dated [DATE] did not indicate Resident 27 had generalized anxiety disorder. RN 4 stated it was important to ensure accurate comprehensive MDS assessment was done for [Resident 27] to ensure appropriate care was provided. Residents Affected - Some B. During a review of Resident 20's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 20 on 2/6/2023 with multiple diagnoses including dementia. During a review of Resident 20's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/9/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 20 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 20's MDS (MDS), dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 20 had severe impairment in cognition. MDS 2 indicated Resident 20 required substantial/maximal assistance with most self-care activities and partial/moderate assistance with mobility. During a review of Resident 20's MARs from 3/2024 through 5/2024, the MARs indicated a physician's order, dated 2/27/2024, indicated to administer Ativan 0.5 mg by mouth every 8 hours as needed (PRN) for anxiety manifested by constant worrying about her health condition for 90 days. The MARs indicated the following: 1. On 3/3/2024 - Resident 20 received Ativan 0.5 mg by mouth four times. 2. On 3/4/2024 - Resident 20 received Ativan 0.5 mg by mouth four times. 3. On 3/5/2024 - Resident 20 received Ativan 0.5 mg by mouth four times. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/29/2024 at 10:19 AM with RN 4, Resident 20's AR, MDS, physician orders, physician notes, MAR, and nursing notes were reviewed. RN 4 stated Resident 20's MDS, dated [DATE], and MDS, dated [DATE] did not indicate Resident 20 had anxiety. RN 4 stated Ativan 0.25 mg was initially ordered for Resident 20 on 9/2023 for anxiety. RN 4 stated Resident 20's MDS, dated [DATE], did not indicate Resident 20 was on any anti-anxiety medication. During an interview on 5/30/2024 at 4:22 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the MDS nurse must physically assess the residents (in general), interview the staff assigned to the residents, interview the family member/s of the residents, and review all the resident's medical records to complete an accurate MDS assessment and determine the correct plan of treatment for the resident. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Resident Assessment, dated 4/2014, the P&P indicated the following: 1. Sources of information to complete the MDS assessment include: review of the resident's record, observation of and communication with the resident, communication with the health provider, physician, and resident's family. 2. Once the MDS is completed, the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) must develop the plan of care. 3. Care plans must be updated as the resident's condition or needs change by coordinating with the physician's orders as they are received, and/or with calls to the physician.

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 interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident-centered care plans (CP) related to risk of side effects of medication use for Depakote (medication used to control seizures, a sudden uncontrolled burst of electrical activity in the brain) and a CP related to Resident 2's allergies were developed for one of one sampled resident (Resident 2) in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure (P&P). This failure had the potential for Resident 2 to not receive the necessary care and services to achieve their optimal level of functioning. Findings: During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (disease that occurs when a person's blood sugar is too high), generalized anxiety disorder (a condition in which a person has excessive worry and feelings of fear, dread and uneasiness) and bipolar disorder (serious mental illness that causes unusual shifts in mood). The AR indicated Resident 2's allergies were: iodine, penicillin, coconut, lemon, and shrimp. During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 3/8/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 2 had severely impaired cognition (the ability to make daily decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 2 was dependent (helper does all the effort to complete the activity) on staff for eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated active as of 5/30/2024 indicated Resident 2 had a physician order for Depakote extended release 24-hour 500 mg (milligram, unit of measurement) tablet with order date 12/27/2023. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/30/2024 at 11:40 AM with the Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS), Resident 2's CP related to Depakote, dated 3/22/2023, was reviewed. The CP indicated interventions to monitor for cognitive impairment, tardive dyskinesia (TD - a drug induced movement disorder causing uncontrollable movements like lip-smacking), akathisia (inability to remain still), Parkinsonism Syndrome (a collection of movement symptoms that include slowness, stiffness, tremors, and balance issues) and orthostatic blood pressure (sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing from a sitting or lying down position). The RNS stated these interventions indicated in the CP should be in Resident 2's Medication Administration Record (MAR), the RNS did not find the interventions in the MAR (all monitoring is documented in the MAR). During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/30/2024 at 11:56 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 2's CP related to Depakote, dated 3/22/2023, was reviewed. The DON stated the specific interventions indicated to monitor for cognitive impairment, TD, akathisia, Parkinsonism Syndrome and orthostatic blood pressure on the CP were not being implemented but they were also not needed and it would be removed from the CP. The DON further stated the DON had just called the Facility Consultant Pharmacist (FCP) and the FCP stated these side effects did not need to be monitored because Depakote was not an antipsychotic medication and [the medication] did not typically have these side effects.

The MDSC stated the interventions indicated in the CP were not centered toward Resident 2's care and they should be. During a review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated active as of 5/30/2024, indicated Resident 2 had a physician order for Insulin Aspart injection (rapid-acting medication used to control blood sugar) solution 100 unit per milliliter (ml-unit of measurement) with order date 8/1/2023 and insulin glargine (long-acting medication used to control blood sugar) 100 unit/ml with order date 4/10/2024. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/30/2024 at 12 PM with the MDSC, Resident 2's CP related to Resident 2's allergies, dated 3/22/2023, was reviewed. The CP indicated Resident 2's allergies were penicillin, iodine, shrimp, coconut, lemon, and insulin. The MDSC stated the facility failed to develop an individualized person-centered care plan for Resident 2 as evidenced by inaccurate allergies listed on the Resident 2's CP related to Resident 2's allergies, additionally, the interventions listed for Depakote that were not implemented. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, dated 3/2023, the P&P indicated the care plan interventions are derived from a thorough analysis of the information gathered as part of the comprehensive assessment. The comprehensive, person-centered care plan reflects currently recognized standards of practice for problem areas and conditions. Care plan interventions are chosen only after data gathering, proper sequencing of events, careful consideration of the relationship between the resident's problem areas and their causes, and relevant clinical decision making.

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 provide necessary care and services for one of one sampled resident (Resident 96) when Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2 did not utilize a communication board when attempting to communicate with Resident 96 as indicated in the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Accommodation of Needs Related to Communication. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to result in unmet needs to Resident 96. Findings: During a review of Resident 96's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 96 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with severe dementia (a group of conditions, decline in mental ability, that interfere with daily activities) with agitation, hypertension (high blood pressure), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing foods or liquids). During a review of Resident 96's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 4/22/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 96 was severely impaired with cognitive skills (ability to make daily decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 96 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) from staff for toileting and dressing. During an interview on 5/28/2024 at 9:30 AM with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated Resident 96 sometimes yelled, and CNA 1 sat next to Resident 96 until Resident 96 was calm. CNA 1 stated Resident 96 spoke a different language but also English. CNA 1 stated Resident 96 was sometimes confused and did not speak English when he was confused.

This deficient practice had the potential to result in a physical decline and the development of PIs to Resident 30. Findings: During a review of Resident 30's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 30 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included cerebral infarction (damage to tissues in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area), hypertension (high blood pressure), aphasia (loss of ability to understand or express speech, caused by brain damage). During a review of Resident 30's Risk for developing pressure sore, bruising, and other types of skin breakdown Care Plan (CP), dated 3/16/2023, the CP indicated the goal for Resident 30 was to minimize the risk of skin breakdown/bruising/pressure sore daily. During a review of Resident 30's H&P, dated 5/30/2023, the H&P indicated Resident 30 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 30's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident assessment care planning tool), dated 3/4/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 30 had severe impairment in cognitive skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 30 was dependent (helper provided all the effort or the assistance of two or more helpers was required for the resident to complete the activity) for eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering/bathing, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 30 was dependent for rolling left to right. The MDS indicated Resident 30 did not have PU/PI. The MDS indicated Resident 30 had the following skin treatments: pressure reducing device for the chair, a pressure reducing device for the bed, nutrition or hydration intervention to manage skin problems, and applications of ointments/medication other than to feet. During a review of Resident 30's Wound Risk Assessment (WRA), dated 3/6/2024, the WRA indicated Resident 30's score was 17 (a score of 8 or greater is considered high risk for skin breakdown). During a review of Resident 30's Order Summary Report (OSR), active orders as of 5/28/2024, the OSR included a physician's order (PO), dated 3/2/2024, the PO indicated Resident 30 may have a LAL mattress for wound care and skin maintenance every shift.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/28/2024 at 9:58 AM, with a certified nursing assistant 4 (CNA 4), CNA 4 stated the purpose of a LAL mattress was to prevent PIs. CNA 4 stated the facility staff taught CNA 4 that one sheet was acceptable when a resident used a LAL mattress. CNA 4 stated if there was more than one sheet, the LAL mattress would not work [to prevent] PIs. CNA 4 stated CNA 4 brought Resident 30 back to bed at 9:30 AM and was going to get Resident 30 up on the wheelchair at 10:30 AM. CNA 4 stated CNA 4 left the sling under Resident 30 because CNA 4 was going to get Resident 30 up again. CNA 4 stated if CNA 4 did not [plan] to get Resident 30 up, CNA 4 would not leave the sling under Resident 30. During an observation, Resident 30 had five layers of material between Resident 30 and the LAL mattress. The layers included: a flat sheet, chux (disposable pad that is highly absorbent and designed to protect beds, bedding, furniture, or other surfaces from incontinence [loss of bladder control] accidents or spills), cloth incontinence pad, adult diaper, and Vander-Lift sling. During a concurrent observation and interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 5/28/2024 at 10:08 AM, the DON stated CNA 4 should have removed the sling under Resident 30 after putting Resident 30 back to bed because Resident 30 was on a LAL mattress. The DON stated if the sling was [kept] under Resident 30, [this defeated] the purpose of the LAL mattress. The DON stated Resident 30 should only be [laying] on a flat sheet with an adult diaper or a flat sheet with a chux pad. The DON stated if the sling was left underneath Resident 30, Resident 30 could develop a PI. During a concurrent observation and interview with CNA 5 on 5/29/2024 at 9:34 AM, Resident 30 was laying on a LAL mattress, a flat sheet, was wearing pants, and wearing an adult diaper. CNA 5 stated Resident 30 was wearing pants, but Resident 30 should only be [laying] on a flat sheet and [wearing an] adult diaper when Resident 30 was [laying] on the LAL mattress. CNA 5 stated consistent pressure on Resident 30's buttocks could cause an opening, [put the resident at] risk of infection and development of PI. CNA 5 stated facility staff wanted to avoid and prevent those types of skin issues. During a review of the Vander-Lift II's (brand name) Operating Manual, dated 3/2007, the manual indicated [for the user] to back the lift away from the wheelchair, chair, etc. and remove the sling.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 41), who had limited range of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a joint), received the necessary rehabilitation services to maintain or prevent further decline in ROM by failing to follow up on the Occupational Therapist 2's (OT 2's, healthcare professional who involves the use of daily activities [occupations] to treat the physical, mental, and emotional ailments that impact a resident's ability perform daily tasks) recommendation to obtain an OT evaluation/treatment order on 5/30/2022. This failure had the potential to cause further decline in ROM with worsening contractures (deformity and joint stiffness) to both upper extremities (arms), which could lead to increased pain to Resident 41. Findings: During a review of Resident 41's admission Record (AR 1), AR 1 indicated the facility admitted Resident 41 on 9/29/2020 with multiple diagnoses including dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with daily activities), osteoarthritis (joint disease that worsens over time), and contractures (shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to deformity and tightness of the joints) of the right elbow and right hand. During a review of Resident 41's OT Discharge Summary (OTDS), dated 10/15/2020, the OTDS indicated Resident 41 was discharged from Skilled OT and was placed on a Restorative ROM Program (nursing-based rehabilitative care aimed at maintaining and/or improving self-involvement in ADLs) with passive ROM (PROM, movement of a joint through the ROM with no effort from the resident) to both upper extremities (BUE). The OTDS indicated the recommendation for the application of right hand and right elbow splints (rigid devices used to prevent and treat contractures) with Resident 41 tolerating 5 hours of wear time, for functional maintenance. During a review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS 1, a standardized resident assessment and care-planning tool), dated 11/28/2020, the MDS 1 indicated Resident 41 had severely impaired cognitive skills (ability to obtain and process information) for daily decision-making. The MDS 1 indicated Resident 41 had impairment in both sides of the upper and lower extremities. The MDS 1 indicated Resident 41 was totally dependent on staff for all activities of daily living (ADL, term used in healthcare that refers to self-care activities). The MDS 1 indicated Resident 41 received Occupational Therapy (OT, profession aimed to increase or maintain a person's capability of participating in everyday life activities) from 10/1/2020 to 10/14/2020. During a review of Resident 41's Joint Mobility Screening (JMS 1), dated 1/11/2022, JMS 1 indicated Resident 41 had severe ROM loss (greater than 50%) on the right wrist, right hand/fingers, right elbow, and both shoulders. JMS 1 indicated Resident 41 had minimal ROM loss on the left wrist, left hand/fingers, and left elbow. During a review of Resident 41's JMS 2, dated 5/30/2022, JMS 2 indicated Resident 41 had a decline in the ROM of the left wrist, left hand/fingers, and left elbow from minimal ROM loss (less than 25%) to moderate ROM loss (26% - 50% loss).

During an interview on 5/30/2024 at 9:38 AM, OT 1 stated the JMS must be conducted upon a resident's (in general) admission, readmission, yearly, and if there were any changes in the resident's condition. OT 1 stated the goal was to maintain the current ROM, mobility, and function at the highest possible level. OT 1 stated if a decline in ROM was identified in the JMS, the resident (in general) could be evaluated by rehabilitation staff, and placed on rehabilitation therapy with new goals and care plans to improve or maintain the current ROM. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/30/2024 at 2:09 PM with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR), Resident 41's rehabilitation notes, physician orders, JMS, and care plans were reviewed. The DOR stated Resident 41 received OT in the facility on 10/1/2020-10/14/2020. The DOR stated Resident 41 had a decline in LUE ROM during the JMS on 5/30/2022, but there was no OT evaluation/treatment ordered and/or provided to Resident 41. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/30/2024 at 4:16 PM, Registered Nurse 5 (RN 5) stated there was no documented evidence that nursing [staff] obtained a physician's order for OT evaluation or treatment regarding the change in Resident 41's LUE ROM on 5/30/2022. During an interview on 5/30/2024 at 4:22 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated if the resident had a decline in ROM, was refusing and/or not tolerating the ordered splints, had an actual skin breakdown, and was having pain, the nursing staff must consult with the rehabilitation department to obtain recommendations and/or new interventions. The DON stated nursing staff would then call the primary care physician to obtain the new orders related to the resident's ROM or mobility. The DON stated the miscommunication between nursing staff and the rehabilitation team could result in further decline for the resident's ROM and worsening of contractures. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P 1), titled Occupational Therapy, dated 2/19/2021, P&P 1 indicated the following: 1. Occupational therapy goals include, but is not limited to, reduction of physical disability and contracture management. 2.

F 0800 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide each resident with a nourishing, palatable, well-balanced diet that meets his or her daily nutritional and special dietary needs. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed ensure three of four sampled glasses of milk/mocha mix were served at 40 degrees Fahrenheit (F, a unit used to measure temperature) or lower as indicated in the facility's policy. This deficient practice had the potential to compromise the residents' taste by serving unfresh or spoiled milk/mocha mix to the residents. Findings: During an observation with the Dietary Supervisor (DS) and Kitchen Aid 1 (KA 1), in the facility kitchen, on 5/29/2024 at 12:27 PM, several 8 ounces of glasses of milk were on the trays ready to be served with the residents' lunch. Three of the four glasses of milk were randomly selected and observed to have a temperature higher than 41F. The first glass measured at 42 F, the third glass measured at 44 F and the fourth glass measured at 51 F. During an interview with KA 1, on 5/29/2024 at 12:29 PM, KA 1 stated the milk temperature should be below 41 F because above 41F is the danger zone (the temperature range between 40F and 140F in which bacteria can grow rapidly) and the residents could get the sick from consuming those milk/mocha mix. During an interview with the DS on 5/29/2024 at 12:38 PM, the DS stated milk should be under 41 degrees F because if not, bacteria may grow or the milk/moca mix can be unfreshed or spoiled. A review of the facility's policy titled, Meal Service, updated on 3/21/2024, indicated food temperature will be taken to insure foods are at the proper serving temperature. The policy indicated cold beverages, desserts will be served no more than 40 degrees F.
