the long-term care ombudsman (person who
routinely visits the facility and advocates for the
residents) when three of five sampled residents
(Residents 32, 4, and 34) were transferred to
the acute care hospital. This failure had the
potential to result in the residents not having an
advocate who could inform them of their
admission, transfer, and discharge rights and
options.
Findings:
Review of Resident 32's clinical record
indicated the facility transferred her to an acute
care hospital on 10/25/19 and 11/28/19. There
was no documentation in the clinical record
indicating the facility informed the ombudsman
of these transfers.
Review of Resident 4's clinical record indicated
the facility transferred her to an acute care
hospital on 8/16/19. There was no
documentation in the clinical record indicating
the facility informed the ombudsman of this
transfer.
Review of Resident 34's clinical record
indicated the facility transferred him to an acute
care hospital on 8/28/19. There was no
documentation in the clinical record indicating
the facility informed the ombudsman of this
transfer.
During an interview with the admission
manager (AM) on 12/19/19 at 12:40 p.m., he
confirmed the facility did not have the process
to notify the long-term care ombudsman when
residents were transferred to an acute care
hospital, but only when residents were
discharged from the facility.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to provide a written notice of bed
hold (written documentation specifying the
duration the facility will hold a resident's bed)
for four of five sampled residents (Residents
21, 32, 4, and 34). This failure had the potential
to limit the rights of the resident or his
responsible party (RP, a person who is
accountable in making decisions on behalf of
the resident) to know the duration of a bed-hold
and permitting for return to the facility.
Findings:
Review of Resident 21's clinical record
indicated on 12/2/19, Resident 21 was
transferred to an acute care hospital for
evaluation after a chemotherapy (type of
cancer treatment that uses one or more anticancer drugs) appointment. The record had no
documentation or evidence that a written notice
of bed-hold was given to the resident or to the
resident's family or RP.
During an interview with the admission
manager (AM) on 12/18/19 at 1:27 p.m., he
confirmed the bed hold notification was not
issued.
Review of Resident 32's clinical record
indicated Resident 32 was transferred to an
acute care hospital on 10/25/19 and 11/28/19.
The record had no documentation or evidence
that a written notice of bed-hold was given to

Based on observation , interview and record
review, the facility failed to develop a
comprehensive care plan to address the use of
antibiotics (medicines that help stop infections
caused by bacteria) and a peripherally-inserted
central catheter (PICC, a thin, flexible tube that
is inserted into a vein in the upper arm and
guided (threaded) into a large vein above the
right side of the heart and used to give
intravenous fluids, blood transfusions and other
drugs) for one sampled resident (Resident
105). These failures had the potential to result
in the inability to identify the residents'
individualized care issues and implement
person-centered care.

posed the risk of not providing residents with
individualized and person-centered care.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 15's clinical record
indicated she was admitted to the facility on
8/1/19 with diagnoses including dementia (
group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking
and social abilities severely enough to interfere
with your daily life) without behavioral
disturbance.
Review of Resident 15's care plan dated
8/1/19, indicated she needed assistance with
activities of daily living (ADL's, basic tasks of
everyday life i.e. eating, bathing, dressing)
related to weakness due to recent illness.
During observations on 12/16/19 at 11:00 a.m.
and 12/17/19 at 7:42 a.m., Resident 15 was in
bed with her eyes closed.
During an interview with licensed vocational
nurse G (LVN G) on 12/17/19 at 7:42 a.m., he
stated Resident 15 had been refusing to get up,
refusing to take medications, and usually was
non-verbal for quite a long time.
During an interview with the interim director of
nursing (IDON) on 12/17/19 at 12:19 p.m., she
reviewed Resident 15's care plan. The IDON
acknowledged Resident 15's behaviors as
described above, and stated Resident 15
should have a care plan to address her
behavior.
2. Review of Resident 4's clinical record
indicated diagnoses of dementia (decline in
mental abilities and memory affecting judgment
and behavior), muscle weakness, difficulty in
walking and intracapsular fracture of right
femur (hip joint).

at 10:15 a.m., she stated the post-fall
committee did not recommend new
interventions for the falls of 6/11/19 or 6/19/19,
so the fall care plan was not revised.
3. Review of Resident 33's clinical record
indicated she was admitted to the facility on
3/11/19 with diagnoses including heart failure.
She had falls on 3/16/19, 4/23/19, 5/5/19, and
10/30/19.
A review of Resident 4's post-fall "Committee

hours and as needed and place sign in room
with a picture of call light and the words "please
press call light for help."
2) 4/24/19: Offer the resident to sit in
wheelchair rather than the edge of the bed and
if the resident chooses to sit at the edge of the
bed, ensure that the bed is at an appropriate
height and the resident is supported.
3) 5/6/19: Apply a dycem (non-slip material) to
wheelchair to prevent sliding.

plan for or implement the intervention to protect
Resident 16's left heel from undue pressure by
keeping it off of the bed. This failure resulted in
Resident 16 developing a facility-acquired
Stage III PU (involves full-thickness skin loss
and extends into the tissue beneath the skin,
forming a small crater) on his left heel.
Findings:
Review of Resident 16's clinical record
indicated he was admitted to the facility on
10/14/19 with diagnoses of rhabdomyolysis (a
serious syndrome due to muscle injury which
results in the death of muscle fibers and their
release into the bloodstream) and Type II
diabetes (a chronic condition which affects the
way the body processes blood sugar).
Review of Resident 16's "Nursing Admission
Assessment" dated 10/14/19, indicated on
initial assessment Resident 16 did not have a
wound on his left heel.
Review of Resident 16's "Minimum Data Set"

indicated Resident 16 was immobile in bed and
required extensive assistance of one person to
turn side-to-side and to position self while in

Resident 16's left heel PU.
Review of Resident 16's "Committee Review
Progress Notes" dated 11/26/19 at 10:30 a.m.,
indicated the committee met to discuss
Resident 16's newly acquired left heel pressure
ulcer discovered on 11/24/19. The committee
noted Resident 16 had been at risk for
pressure injury and recommended to keep feet
elevated off of the bed at all times while in bed.
Review of the physician wound service (PWS)
"Initial Wound Evaluation and Management
Summary" dated 11/27/19, indicated Resident
16 had a Stage III PU of the left heel for at
least seven days duration (11/20/19). The PWS
recommended to off-load heel wound (keep left
heel up and not touching the bed) and to
reposition resident according to facility protocol.
Review of Resident 16's "Treatment
Administration Record (TAR)" dated October
through December, indicated Resident 16 was
turned every two hours since admission
beginning on 10/16/19 but there was no
indication Resident 16's heels were offloaded
from the bed.
During an observation on 12/18/19 at 10:50
a.m., Resident 16 was lying in bed with lower
legs elevated with two pillows and received
assessment and treatment to his left heel by
the PWS. PWS confirmed Resident 16's left

pressure wound could have been prevented,
held on 12/11/19. The IDON stated staff had
not taken measures to offload Resident 16's
heels and prevent the development of his
pressure wound. The DON stated going
forward residents at risk for pressure ulcers
would be provided with foam boot heel
protectors to help offload feet while in bed.
Review of the facility's 2010 policy, "Prevention
of Pressure Ulcers", indicated pressure ulcers
are usually formed when a resident remains in
the same positon for extended periods of time
causing increased pressure and a decrease in
blood circulation to the area ... a common site
is where the bone is near the surface of the
body including the heels ... for residents who
required assistance while in bed, change
position at least every two hours and off-load
heels (keep heals off of the bed.

During a review of Resident 4's 2019 fall care
plan (CP, a written document which provides a
means of communication among healthcare
providers to achieve health care outcomes)
indicated the following interventions to prevent
falls:
CP interventions in place prior to the above
committee recommendations:
Anticipate and meet Resident 4's needs
(Initiated 2/26/17).

(Initiated on 2/26/17; was not cancelled but was
repeated during a revision on 4/17/19).
Keep wheelchair locked while not in use
(Initiated on 2/26/17; was not cancelled but was
repeated during a revision on 4/17/19).
New CP interventions initiated after Resident
4's falls:
1) Fall of 4/17/19: In-service team to keep WC
locked while not in use.
2) Fall of 6/11/19: Date of fall and new
interventions were not found on the CP.
3) Fall on 6/19/19: New interventions were not
found on the CP
4) Fall on 8/1/19: Hourly rounding for safety;
toilet resident before going to bed.
5) Fall on 8/14/19:
Make sure bed is in locked position
The resident needs activities that minimize the
potential for falls while providing diversion and
distraction.

facility to Room 2 on 8/23/19 and Resident 4's
previous location was Room 1.
During an observation on 12/18/19 at 9 a.m.,
Room 1's location was observed at the end of a
hall, farthest from the nurse's station. Room 2's
location was observed across from and in view
of the nurse's station.
During an interview with CNA H on 12/18/19 at
9:45 a.m., she stated she worked with Resident
4 before her injury of 8/15/19. CNA H stated
she did not remember nurses telling her to
check on Resident 4 every hour. CNA H stated
the CNA's were busy and were not able to
watch on her all the time.
During an interview and record review with the
interim director of nursing (IDON) on 12/18/19
at 10:15 a.m., she stated the post-fall
committee should have recommended new
interventions to prevent Resident 4 from having
further falls for the falls on 6/11/19 or 6/19/19.
The IDON stated toileting Resident 4 before
breakfast and before bed were not new
interventions, but were usual expectations of a
certified nursing assistant (CNA). The IDON
stated interventions which could have been
recommended by the committee to prevent
further falls were: to move Resident 4 closer to
the nurses' station at an earlier date, to order
physical therapy (PT) or occupational therapy
(OT) for a strengthening evaluation and to
provide written instructions of interventions to
the CNA. The IDON stated the facility was
unable to track if Resident 4 was actually
checked on or toileted more than one time per
shift due to the limitations of the facility's
electronic documentation system which only
allowd the CNA to document toileting and

1:30 p.m., she stated she knew Resident 4 well
and was often assigned to her. CNC C stated
before Resident 4's hip injury of 8/15/19, the
nurses did not tell her to check on or toilet
Resident 4 every hour or any other time frame.
CNA C stated she was often busy with other
residents and unable to check on Resident 4.
CNA C stated Resident 4 was confused and
never used her call light. CNA C stated an
order for safety checks every 15 minutes and
Resident 4's move to a room closer to the
nurse's station may have helped to prevent
Resident 4's falls and injury. CNA C stated
Resident 4's room used to be Room 1 located
at the end of the hall farthest from the nurses
station.
A review of Resident 4's MDS dated 8/30/19,
indicated post-injury of Resident 4 required
extensive assistance with two people for
toileting and did not walk in or out of her room.
Review of the facility's 2007 policy "Falls and
Fall Risk, Managing", indicated if falling recurs
despite initial interventions, staff will implement
additional or different interventions, or indicate
why the current approach remains relevant ... if
underlying causes cannot be readily identified
or corrected, staff will try various interventions,
based on assessment of the nature or category
of falling, until falling is reduced or stopped, or
until the reason for the continuation of the
falling is identified as unavoidable.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to implement their
policy and procedures for the use of a
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP, a
treatment that uses mild air pressure to keep
your breathing airways open) machine for one
sampled resident (Resident 107) when
Resident 107 was using the CPAP machine
without a physician's order. These failures had
the potential to result in ineffective CPAP
therapy.
Findings:
Review of Resident 107's Admission Record,
indicated she was admitted to the facility on
12/10/19 with diagnoses of acute and chronic
respiratory failure (a condition in which not
enough oxygen passes from your lungs into
your blood) with hypoxia (deficiency in the
amount of oxygen reaching the tissues).
Review of Resident 107's Order Summary
Report did not include a CPAP order.
Review of Resident 107's Admission
Assessment, dated 12/10/19, indicated she

During an observation and concurrent interview
with Resident 107 on 12/16/19 at 9:46 a.m.,
Resident 107 had a CPAP machine on her
bedside table. Resident 107 stated she had
been using the machine since she arrived in
the facility.

medication) tablet 300-60 mg, give one tablet
by mouth every four hours as needed for
moderate-severe pain (7-10).
Review of Resident 213's care plan for pain
indicated the resident had pain related to
"current illness" and neuropathic pain (nerve
pain). The interventions included to administer
analgesia (pain medication), monitor/document
for side effects of pain medication, and notify
physician if interventions are unsuccessful.
Resident 213's care plan did not include nonpharmacological (without medicine)
interventions to manage her pain.
During an interview on 12/16/19 at 12:08 p.m.,
the interim director of nursing (IDON) reviewed
Resident 213's orders and stated residents
usually have pain medication ordered for mild,
moderate, and severe pain. The IDON
confirmed Resident 213's pain medication
orders did not address pain with a rating of 4-6.

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure pain
management was reviewed and reassessed by
the multidisciplinary team (IDT, team members
from different departments involved in a
resident's care) for one of six residents
(Resident 4). Resident 4 had an order for
narcotic pain medication (controlled drugs that
in moderate doses dulls the senses, relives
pain, and induces profound sleep but in
excessive pain assessments dose can cause
stupors, coma, and convulsions) three times a
day with meals and at bedtime. This had the
potential of unnecessary use of medications
that could affect the resident's well-being.

27 times with meals and 3 times at bedtime.
The other days Resident 4 had a pain level that
ranged from 1 to 5.
Review of Resident 4's Inter Disciplinary Team
(IDT) Care Conference, dated 12/13/19,
indicated medication reconciliation was
reviewed, and Resident 4 was presenting with
better cooperation with care, fewer episodes of
refusal and better engagement with staff.
During an observation on 12/16 /19 and
12/17/19, Resident 4 was lying on her back in
bed with her eyes closed.
During an interview with the interim director of
nursing (IDON) on 12/19/19 at 8:07 a.m., she
reviewed Resident 4's MAR. The IDON stated
Resident 4's had an increase behavior for
screaming after readmission to the facility with
a femur fracture. The IDON acknowledged the
pain level assessment by the licensed nurses
did not reflect the need for a pain medication if
the pain level was 0. The IDON confirmed, the
IDT missed to review and reasses the need for
Resident 4's pain medication regimen.
During an interview with certified nursing
assistant E (CNA E ) on 12/19/19 at 8:38 a.m.,
she stated Resident 4 would scream when
"lightly" being touched on her hands, but had
no pain on her lower extremities.
During an interview with licensed vocational
nurse D (LVN D) on 12/19/19 at 8:45 a.m., she
confirmed she would give Resident 4 a Norco
even without pain and she would put 0.
A review of the faclity's policy, "Pain
Assessment and Management", dated
10/2010, indicated pain management was a
multidisciplinary care process that includes
modifying approches as necessary. The policy
