F684 01/23/2019 § 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 observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide podiatry services (the medical care and treatment of the human foot) to one of four residents (Resident 32) when Resident 32 who was diabetic with long big toe nails was not seen by a podiatrist.

During the initial tour and observation on 1/02/19 at 10:49 a.m., Resident 2 was in his room sitting on his bed and showed his long, thick, curly, overgrown toenails with calluses on both feet. During the concurrent interview, Resident 2 stated he had requested to the admission coordinator/social services director (AC/SSD) about four months ago for podiatry treatment. Resident 2 stated his toenails were excessively long which made him experience foot pain and made him uncomfortable when putting his socks on and during walking. He stated this situation limited his activities and movements. He stated he was willing to pay the required fees because he himself was not able to trim his toenails. Resident 2 stated the nurses and certified nursing assistants (CNAs) were aware of the long toenails, because they would see it during the time they provided care for him.

The facility will conduct an annual review of its IPCP and update their program, as necessary. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure infection control procedures were followed when one of two glucometers was not properly disinfected. This failure had the potential to place residents and staff at risk for the spread of infectious diseases. Findings: During an observation on 1/2/19 at 3:26 p.m., licensed vocational nurse B (LVN B) obtained Resident 17's blood sugar reading with the use of a glucometer machine (a medical device used to determine amount of sugar in the blood). LVN B wiped the glucometer with a sanitizing cloth then immediately wiped the glucometer with tissue paper. LVN B then returned the glucometer to the medication cart. During an interview on 1/2/19 at 3:30 p.m., LVN B confirmed she did not follow the manufacturer's instruction for disinfection which stated to allow the treated surface to remain wet for two full minutes.

Having less than 80 square feet per resident could potentially compromise the care and services the residents receive in the facility. Findings: The room measurement indicated multiple resident rooms were less than 80 square feet per resident. Rooms 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 109, 110, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 120, and 121 were all 2-bed rooms, which measured 69.51 square feet per resident. None of the rooms were observed to inhibit the staff from providing care or the residents from receiving adequate care. The staff and the residents moved freely in the rooms. Wheelchairs and gerichairs (medical recliners) were easily accommodated. The residents and the staff stated the square footage of the rooms was not a concern. Continuance of the room waiver is recommended. FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: BL8K11 Facility ID: CA070000076 If continuation sheet 28 of 28
