Notice of Non-coverage (SNF ABN) Form
CMS-10055. The SNF ABN Form CMS-10055
is used to inform residents of their potential
financial liability and appeal rights and
protections should they wish to receive care
and services that may not be covered by
Medicare. This posed the risk of the resident
not being allowed to make an informed
decision regarding their Medicare services.
Findings:
On 7/12/19 at 1446 hours, an interview and
concurrent facility document review was
conducted with the Billing Supervisor. The
Billing Supervisor stated Resident 628's
Medicare Part A skilled services episode start
date was 3/20/19, and the last covered day of
Part A service was 4/28/19. Resident 628 was
discharged on 5/18/19. The Billing Supervisor
was asked to provide the original notice or
documentation Resident 628 was provided with
the SNF ABN Form CMS-10055. The Billing
Supervisor stated Resident 628 was not
provided with the SNF ABN Form CMS-10055.
She stated, "I have never seen the form and
have never given it to any resident."

Resident 5 stated a couple of weeks prior, she
was on the smoking patio with Resident 41.
Resident 5 stated Resident 41 was unclothed
from the waist down and had a towel on his lap.
Resident 5 stated Resident 41 often only
covered himself with a towel; however, on this
day he had moved the towel so his abdomen
and penis were exposed. Resident 5 stated
Resident 41 was observed by the smoking
patio exit "stroking himself." Resident 5 stated
it made her very uncomfortable because she

the DON and Administrator on the same day.
The SSD stated she did not know what
happened after she handed over the grievance
form.
Review of the facility's document titled

7/1/19, showed Resident 5 reported, another
resident came out with nothing but a towel over
his crotch area, then he pushed it away from
that area and started stroking himself.

conducted with the DON. The DON was asked
if she was aware of the above incident. The
DON stated she thought the incident was
reported to her on Friday around 1700 hours,
but was unsure. When asked what her next
actions were, the DON stated, "I didn't do
anything." The DON stated she discussed it
with the SSD and, because this was the first
complaint about Resident 41 touching himself,
she thought Resident 5 was exaggerating.
When asked for clarification if she did an
investigation, the DON stated she did not
initiate an investigation. The DON stated
Resident 41 had not worn pants for years since
he'd been in the facility. The DON stated
several staff had complained about Resident
41 not wearing pants. When asked if there
were interventions in place for Resident 41's
behavior of not wearing pants, the DON stated
he was currently not being monitored. When
asked if she had interviewed Resident 5 about
the incident, the DON stated no. The DON
stated she did not speak to Resident 5 because
Resident 5 is not her "biggest fan." The DON
stated she was informed other residents

conducted with the DON. The DON was asked
if she was aware of the above incident. The
DON stated she thought the incident was
reported to her on Friday around 1700 hours,
but was unsure. When asked what her next
actions were, the DON stated, "I didn't do
anything." The DON stated she discussed it
with the SSD, and because this was the first
complaint about Resident 41 touching himself,
she thought Resident 5 was exaggerating.
When asked for clarification if she did an
investigation, the DON stated she did not
initiate an investigation. The DON stated
Resident 41 had not worn pants for years since
he'd been in the facility. The DON stated
several staff had complained about Resident
41 not wearing pants. When asked if there
were interventions in place for Resident 41's
behavior of not wearing pants, the DON stated
he was currently not being monitored. When
asked if she had interviewed Resident 5 about
the incident, the DON stated no. The DON
stated she did not speak to Resident 5 because
Resident 5 was not her "biggest fan." The
DON stated she was informed other residents
complained during the Resident Council
meeting on 7/8/19, about Resident 41 not
wearing pants. The DON stated the residents
were offended. When asked what was done

§ 483.25 Quality of care
Quality of care is a fundamental principle that
applies to all treatment and care provided to
facility residents. Based on the comprehensive
assessment of a resident, the facility must
ensure that residents receive treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards
of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview, medical record review, and
facility document review, the facility failed to
ensure coordination of hospice services for one
of 21 final sampled residents (Resident 59).
The facility failed to ensure a process for
communicating hospice services for Resident
59. This failure had the potential to put the
residents on hospice services at risk of
uncoordinated medical care between the facility
and hospice agency.
Findings:
Medical record review for Resident 59 was
initiated on 7/9/19. Resident 59 was admitted
to the facility on hospice services on 8/25/18.
Review of Hospice Provider A's General
Inpatient Services Addendum dated 6/14/18,
under Section 3 for Responsibility of Hospice
showed the hospice was responsible for all
services provided, including coordination of
services.

Review of Resident 59's Order Summary
Report dated 6/27/19, showed a physician's
order dated 8/25/18, to admit Resident 59 to
hospice services from Hospice Provider A.
Review of the Hospice Provider A's calendar
dated July 2019 showed the hospice RN visited
once a week and the CHHA visited were twice
a week. There was no entry in the calendar to
show when the CHHA was to visit Resident 59
from July 22 to July 31, 2019.
On 7/11/19 at 0819 hours, an interview was
conducted with CNA 2. CNA 2 stated the
CHHA provided care on certain days of the
week. When asked what days the CHHA
visited Resident 59, CNA 1 stated she was not
sure.
On 7/11/19 at 0830 hours, an interview was
conducted with LVN 4. LVN 4 stated Resident
59 was on hospice. LVN 4 stated she was not
sure what days the hospice RN and CHHA
visited Resident 59.
On 7/11/19 at 1058 hours, a concurrent
interview and medical record review was
conducted with RN 1. RN 1 acknowledged
Resident 59's hospice calendar was incomplete
and did not provide accurate and complete
information to the facility staff. Cross reference

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, medical
record review, and facility P&P review, the
facility failed to ensure the necessary care and
services were provided to prevent the
development and worsening of pressure ulcers
for one of 21 final sampled residents (Resident
58). Resident 58 was readmitted to the facility
without pressure ulcers to the heels and was
assessed to be at high risk for developing
pressure ulcers.
* The facility failed to ensure the interventions
such as offloading of the heels were developed
and implemented to prevent the development
of pressure ulcers.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 58's skin
assessments were consistently conducted prior
to Resident 58 developing a pressure ulcer to
the right heel.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 58's
heels were offloaded as care planned after
Resident 58 had developed a pressure ulcer to
the right heel.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 58's heel
protectors were applied as ordered by the
physician after Resident 58 had developed a
pressure ulcer to the right heel.
These failures resulted in Resident 58
developing a pressure ulcer to the right heel
while at the facility and posed the risk for
delayed healing and worsening of the pressure

ulcer.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Pressure
Sore Prevention (undated) showed it is the
policy of the facility to identify at risk residents
and to define early interventions for prevention
of pressure ulcers. In individuals who are at
high risk, the goal will be aimed at reducing the
risk factors and at instituting preventative
measures. Interventions will have four overall
goals including to protect against the adverse
effects of external mechanical forces (pressure,
friction, and shear). Strategies to prevent
pressure ulcers for bed bound individuals
included to use devices that totally relieve
pressure on the heels. Skin care included to
inspect the resident's skin at least every day.
The above interventions should be included on
the written care plan for each resident
assessed to be at risk for developing pressure
ulcers.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Pressure
Ulcers/Injuries Overview revised 7/17 showed
the pressure ulcer/injury refers to localized
damage to the skin and/or underlying soft
tissue usually over a bony prominent area.
Pressure ulcers/injuries occur as a result of
intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure
in combination with shear, and may be painful.
Avoidable means the resident developed a
pressure ulcer/injury and that one or more of
the following was not completed: evaluation of
the resident's clinical condition and risk factors;
and definition or implementation of
interventions that are consistent with the
resident's needs, goals, and professional
standards of practice. Stage 2 pressure ulcers
appear as partial-thickness loss of skin with
exposed dermis, presenting as a shallow open
ulcer, and may also present as an intact or

open/ruptured blister. An Unstageable
pressure ulcer appears as full-thickness skin
and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue
damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed
because the wound bed is obscured by slough
or eschar (dead tissue).
Review of the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory
Panel's Clinical Practice Guideline titled
Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers
dated 2014 showed the reduction of pressure
and shear at the heel is an important point of
interest in clinical practice. The posterior
prominence of the heel sustains intense
pressure, even when a pressure redistribution
surface is used. The recommendations
showed to inspect the skin of the heels
regularly and to ensure the heels are free of the
surface of the bed for preventing and treating
heel pressure ulcers. Ideally, the heels should
be free of all pressure - a state sometimes
called "floating heels" or "offloading." Pressure
on the heels can be relieved by elevating the
lower leg and calf from the mattress by placing
a pillow under the lower legs, or by using a heel
suspension device that floats the heel.
Consequently, the pressure will instead spread
to the lower legs, and the heels will no longer
be subjected to pressure.
On 7/9/19 at 0939 hours, during the initial tour
of the facility, Resident 58 was observed lying
on a regular mattress. One pillow was
observed under Resident 58's legs, but the
heels were observed resting directly on the
mattress. No heel protectors were observed in
place.
Medical record review for Resident 58 was
initiated on 7/9/19. Resident 58 was
readmitted to the facility on 12/10/18.

Review of Resident 58's plan of care showed
care plan problems dated 12/11/18, to address
Resident 58's impaired skin integrity and the
potential for pressure ulcer development. The
interventions failed to address any preventive
measures to prevent the pressure ulcer
development for the resident.
Review of the Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment
dated 12/12/18, showed Resident 58 was at
high risk for developing pressure ulcers related
to a poor general physical condition, mental

Resident 58's heels were supposed to be
offloaded because she was totally dependent
on the staff. When asked how she ensured the
resident's heels were offloaded, LVN 5 stated
the nurses were supposed to make rounds to
ensure the resident's heels were offloaded.
When asked why Resident 58's heels were not
offloaded, LVN 5 stated she did not know, but
the CNA should have offloaded the resident's
heels.
On 7/10/19 at 1230 hours, an interview and

the blister on Resident 58's right heel could
have developed. LVN 5 stated blisters could
develop from shearing or pressure. When
asked if the blister could have developed on its
own, LVN 5 stated no. LVN 5 was asked if
Resident 58's pressure ulcer to the right heel
was avoidable. LVN 5 stated the pressure
ulcer to Resident 58's heel was avoidable.
LVN 5 was asked how often the skin
assessments were conducted. LVN 5 stated

Based on observation, interview, and medical
record review, the facility failed to ensure the
medication error rate was below 5%. The
facility's medication error rate was 10%. Two
of three licensed nurses (LVNs 10 and 2) were
found to have made errors during the
medication administration observation.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 58's
bowel management medications were held
after Resident 58 had two episodes of loose
stools or diarrhea. This posed the risk for
Resident 58 to have further episodes of loose
stools or diarrhea.
* The facility failed to check Resident's 25's
heart rate before the administration of a
diuretic. This posed the risk for Resident 25
developing an abnormal heart rate.
Findings:
1. On 7/11/19 at 0835 hours, a medication
administration observation for Resident 58 was
conducted with LVN 10. LVN 10 prepared and
administered Resident 58's medications,
including one tablet of docusate (a
laxative/stool softener) 100 mg and Miralax
powder (a laxative) 17 grams via the GT.
Review of Resident 58's Order Summary
Report showed a physician's order dated
12/10/18, to administer docusate 100 mg two
times a day for bowel management and to hold
the medication for loose stools. The Order
Summary Report also showed a physician's
order dated 12/10/18, to administer Miralax
powder 17 gm one time a day for bowel
management and to hold the medication for
loose stools.

concurrent medical record review was
conducted with RN 2. Review of the Look Back
Report showed Resident 58's last two bowel
movements were large loose stools or diarrhea.
RN 2 verified the findings and stated the
docusate and Miralax should have been held
per the physician's orders.
On 7/11/19 at 0950 hours, an interview was
conducted with LVN 10. LVN 10 verified he did
not check if Resident 58's last bowel movement
was loose or diarrhea prior to administering the
docusate and Miralax. LVN 10 verified the
docusate and Miralax should have been held.
2. On 7/11/19 at 0837 hours, an observation of
medication administration was conducted with
LVN 2. LVN 2 checked Resident 25's blood
pressure but failed to check the heart rate.
LVN 2 administered 20 mg of Lasix (diuretic
medication).
Medical record review for Resident 25 was
initiated on 7/11/19. Review of the Order
Summary Report dated 6/27/19, showed an
order to administer 20 mg of Lasix one time a
day and to hold if the SBP was less than 110
mmHg or if the heart rate was less than 60
bpm.
On 7/11/19 at 0900 hours, an interview was
conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 was asked if he
needed to check the heart rate of Resident 25
before administering the medication. LVN 2
stated he should have checked the heart rate
because there were parameters to hold the
medication if the heart rate was less than 60
bpm.

by:
Based on interview and facility document
review, the facility failed to ensure a designated
IDT member was appointed to coordinate care
between the facility and hospice agency for one
of 21 final sampled residents (Resident 59)
receiving hospice services. This failure had the
potential to put Resident 59 at risk of not
receiving coordinated medical care between
the facility and the hospice agency.
Findings:
Review of Hospice Provider A's General
Inpatient Services Addendum dated 6/14/18,
under Section 2, showed the facility shall
designate a member of the IDT who was
responsible for coordinating care to the hospice
patient. Hospice Provider A's General Inpatient
Services Addendum did not identify the IDT
member to coordinate care between the facility
and hospice agency for hospice services.
On 7/11/19 at 0830 hours, an interview was
conducted with LVN 4. LVN 4 stated the
hospice coordinator was the Administrator.
On 7/11/189 at 1055 hours, an interview was
conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 stated he was
not aware of who the hospice coordinator was.
LVN 2 stated he did not know there was one.
LVN 2 stated he called the hospice nurse when
he had concerns about Resident's 59's care.

Infection Control Committee. This created the
potential for continued use of inappropriate
antibiotics for residents.
Findings:
According to the Center for Disease Control,
the repeated and/or improper use of antibiotics
was the primary cause of the proliferation of
drug-resistant bacteria. Each time a person
used antibiotics, sensitive bacteria were killed;
however, resistant bacteria may be left. These
resistant bacteria may then grow and multiply.
When antibiotics failed to work, the
consequences included longer lasting illnesses,
extended hospital stays, and the need for more
expensive and toxic medications. Some
resistant infections can even cause death.
Review of the Infection Control Surveillance
Logs for the months of January to June 2019
showed the following number of residents
whose conditions did not meet McGeer's
Criteria (a set of criteria used in long term care
facilities to determine if a resident's signs and
symptoms met the criteria of a true infection):
- January 2019: 1 incident
- February 2019: 5 incidents
- March 2019: 2 incidents
- April 2019: 9 incidents
- May 2019: 3 incidents
