What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 4 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 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and records review, the facility failed to report a major injury for one of three sampled residents (Resident 4), when Restorative Nursing Assistant H (RNA H) left Resident 4 alone outside on a patio for 30 minutes, where Resident 4 fell and sustained a subdural hematoma (bleeding between the brain and its lining) This failure resulted in delaying an investigation into a major injury, and had the potential for other incidents not to be reported. FindingsDuring a review of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual, Version 1.19.1, page J-26, dated [DATE]. The CMS document defined Major Injury as Including bone fractures, joint dislocations, closed head injuries with altered consciousness, subdural hematoma. During a review of facility policy titled Assessing Falls and Their Causes, revised [DATE], the policy indicated that the facility should attempt to identify the cause of a fall, and Within 24 hours of a fall, begin to try to identify possible or likely causes of the incident.whether the resident was trying to get to the toilet.whether any environmental risk factors were involved; and/or Whether there is a pattern of falls for this resident. This policy also indicated, Report other information in accordance with facility policy and professional standards of practice. During a review of facility policy titled Unusual Occurrence Reporting, revised 2007, the policy indicated, Our facility reports unusual occurrences and other reportable events which affect the health, safety, or welfare of our residents. During a review of Resident 4's Facility admission Record, the admission Record indicated that Resident 4 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Vascular Dementia (a condition where the brain doesn't get enough blood flow, causing problems with memory and thinking), hemiplegia and hemiparesis (weakness and difficulty moving one side of the body) following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (a stroke, where brain tissue is damaged by a leaking blood vessel), and muscle weakness.During a review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS: a standardized resident assessment and care screening tool), dated [DATE], the MDS indicated that the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 99 (BIMS: a quick, verbal quiz that tests memory and shows how a person's brain is working) indicating the resident had been unable to fully participate in the assessment due to their mental state, and was likely confused. The MDS indicated that Resident 4's functional status required one-person assistance with bed mobility, and transfers, and Resident 4's ability to walk was unsteady. During a review of Resident 4's Progress Note: Alert Note dated [DATE], indicated Resident was found on the ground outside the patio. Resident was found to be unresponsive to verbal or tactile stimuli (trying to cause a patient to respond verbally or physically), he has a pulse and has shallow breathing. The Progress Note also indicated Resident 4 was unresponsive, had unstable vital signs, and was soon transported to local hospital for evaluation. This Progress Note also indicated according to investigation of fall, [RNA H] took [Resident 4] outside to the patio, and [Resident 4] was found on the ground afterward.During a review Hospital A's records titled (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. (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.

AD stated that Resident 4's Plan of Care did not include directions to staff on how to supervise Resident 4 outside on patios. AD confirmed that residents sitting outside on patio could not be visualized with direct line of sight at all times from AD's office, and stated that patio doors would have to be open to hear residents calling for help. During an interview with CNA Q on [DATE] at 1:25 pm, CNA Q stated that you can't leave [Resident 4], or someone like him. [Resident 4] who was disoriented. If [residents] are not alert, you should stay with them. If they have dementia, you don't leave them. CNA Q confirmed that staff cannot fully visualize or supervise residents from the nursing desk next to the patio. There's a portion of the patio you can't see. During an interview with CNA P on [DATE] at 2:30 pm, CNA P stated, its common sense that residents with dementia should not be out on the patio alone, especially during the hot months.

DON stated that residents with dementia, dependent residents, or resident with mobility issues only need to be supervised every 30 minutes while outside on patio. DON verbally confirmed that there was no method for residents on patio to call for help, such as a call light. DON confirmed the plan of care did not include how Resident 4 could safely be supervised when he requested to go outdoor patio. During an interview with Family Representative (FP) on [DATE], FP stated they found Resident 4 to have moderate to severe changes in condition following the fall on [DATE]. FP stated [Resident 4] doesn't talk as much, he's not aware anymore.
