This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by:
Based on observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to report 3 allegations of resident to resident and employee to resident abuse to the State Licensing Agency for three sampled residents (Residents 49, 392, and 47) for a facility census of 97. This failure resulted in the Department not being informed of information needed to guide investigations into potential risks of physical and or psychological harm to a vulnerable resident population.
Findings: 1. Resident 49 was initially admitted to the facility in August of 2017. Resident 49's admission diagnoses included a stroke affecting left non-dominant side (injury to the nervous system resulting in a significant loss of strength and mobility on one side of the body), other abnormalities of gait and mobility, and generalized muscle weakness. Resident 49's Quarterly Cognitive Assessment, dated February 18, 2018, indicated the BIMS (a brief interview tool to assess resident mental status)

score was 14 out of a possible score of 15 (indicated Resident 49 had the mental capacity to understand choices and make healthcare decisions). During an interview on 4/10/18 at 10:15 a.m., when asked if any forms of abuse were experienced at any time during her stay in the facility, Resident 49 stated, "I have, but I just let it go. We have a lot of people coming into our rooms, they are mentally ill." When asked if the concern was reported to staff, she stated, "They know who they are." During concurrent interviews conducted in the Resident Council meeting on 4/11/18 at 10:10 a.m., when attendees were asked if they were aware of how grievances were reported, and if any of the attendees had submitted grievances 1 of 8 residents answered yes. Resident 49 was identified as the resident reporting a grievance. When asked if the grievance resolution met the Resident's expectation, Resident 49 again answered, "No, I just let it go." During a follow up meeting with Resident 49 on 4/11/18 at 11:15 a.m., the Department addressed Resident 49's grievance concerns. Resident 49 stated, "Nurse [Certified Nurse Assistant- CNA 1] left me in the floor (sic). I fell, she knew I was falling. I turned on my light, the help never came. I had to do it on my own. She [CNA 1] came by and saw me trying to get in bed alone. We got into an exchange of words. She yelled at me, I yelled back. I fell to the floor, more like slid to the floor." Per Resident 49, CNA 1 stated that it was the end of her shift. Resident 49 shared that she remained on the floor approximately 10-15 minutes before two nurses from the next shift arrived to assist resident from the floor.

Resident 392 was initially admitted to the facility in March of 2017. The admitting diagnoses included unspecified cerebrovascular disease (disease of the blood vessels and arteries that supply the brain), Alzheimer's Disease (a disease that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior), anxiety disorder (emotions that result in an extreme fear or worry), unspecified dementia with behavioral disturbances, muscle weakness, and difficulty walking. Resident A was initially admitted to the facility in January of 2017. The admitting diagnoses included unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbances, major depressive disorder, single episode (a mental disorder characterized by at least two weeks of low mood that is present across most situations). A Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 05/07/17 indicated the resident's BIMS score was 14 out of a possible score of 15. Resident 49 had the mental capacity to understand choices and make healthcare decisions. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/10/18 at 10:30 a.m., the Department observed the daughter and Resident 392 in the hallway by Resident 392's assigned room.

Resident 47's Quarterly/Annual Assessment/ Significant Change Assessment dated 1/16/18 at 12:03 p.m., indicated the resident had mental capacity to understand choices and make healthcare decisions and was the responsible party for herself. Resident 47's BIMS score was 15 out of a possible score of 15. Resident 50 was initially admitted to the facility in the month of May, 2014. The admission diagnoses included dementia [a brain disease that decreases the ability to think and remember]. The Quarterly Assessment dated 02/22/18 at 10:09 a.m., indicated Resident's BIMS score was 6 out of a possible score of 15 (indicates severe mental and cognitive impairment). During an interview on 4/10/18 at 09:10 a.m., Resident 47 was asked if she experienced any form of abuse or feared for her safety anytime during her stay in the facility. Resident 47 stated "[Resident 50] came in our room and masturbated [to stimulate one's own genitals in a sexual manner]." When I woke up in the middle of the night, he was sitting in his wheelchair at the foot of my bed masturbating. When asked if she called for assistance when this incident occurred, Resident 47 stated that, "I pushed my button it would take an hour for anyone to come.

The facility must ensure that pain management is provided to residents who require such services, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by:
Based on interview, medical record and document review, the facility failed to routinely assess pain for 1 of 97 residents (Resident 74). This failure potentially precluded staff from promptly identifying and intervening for pain in a resident having multiple diagnoses in which pain is a common symptom.
Findings: Resident 74 was readmitted to the facility with diagnoses including bladder cancer, stroke (loss of blood flow to an area of the brain), polyneuropathy (damage to multiple extremity nerves which can cause pain), gout (a form of the joint disease arthritis which causes sudden severe attacks of joint pain and swelling), low back pain, hand contracture (muscle shortening which limits or prevents movement) and chronic pain syndrome (long-term pain caused by a medical condition or body damage).

asked if a pain-relieving ointment could be prescribed. Review of Resident 74's April 2018 "Order Summary Report" indicated he had already been prescribed two pain medications which he received daily and additional medicine which he could request as needed. Review of Resident 74's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the months of March and April, 2018 revealed no routine assessments for pain each shift from 3/4/18 until 4/12/18. In an 11:39 a.m., 4/12/18 interview, Resident 74 confirmed staff were not asking him each shift about his level of pain. He stated that gabapentin, a pain medication ordered for nerve pain, was "not even close" to relieving his pain. During an 11:18 a.m., 4/12/18 interview, the Assistant Director of Nursing stated that staff should assess pain every shift. In an 11:22 a.m., 4/12/18 interview and concurrent medical record review, the Medical Records Supervisor explained that the reminder for staff to assess pain every shift was missing on Resident 74's MAR. Review of the resident's care plans reflected, "The resident's existing conditions which may increase pain and/or discomfort: arthritis, neuropathies, cancer, osteoporosis [bone tissue thinning], fractures, shingles [viral infection that causes a painful rash], peripheral vascular disease [blood vessel condition causing narrowing and hardening of the arteries supplying the legs and feet], ulcers [skin or mucous membrane sores], contractures, paresthesia r/t [tingling sensation

Findings: During an observation on 4/10/18 at 9:10 a.m., a jar of unopened pickles and half full bottle of soy sauce were noted on top of a bookshelf in Resident 75's room. The pickle manufacturer label read, "Always keep refrigerated" and "Use by 3/3/18". The soy sauce manufacturer label read, "Refrigerate after opening" and "Best by 2/22/17".

Based on observation, interview with facility staff & residents, and document review, the facility's Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Committee failed to develop and maintain an effective plan of action to correct an identified problem prone deficient practice, for a facility census of 78 residents. During the previous 4/21/2017 re-certification, survey the facility was cited for failure to provide a functioning resident call light system in one random resident room at nurses station one (1), and for resident room 36 on nurse's station two (2). During the current 4/13/18 re-certification survey the call light system was still not functioning properly in 19 resident rooms, (rooms 30 - 48). This failure prevented residents from being able to call caregivers in time of need and had the potential to cause serious harm if residents were unable to contact staff when needed.
Findings: The facility's call light system included both visual and auditory components to alert nursing staff to resident need. The visual component included indicator lights located in the hallways above each resident room door, which

illuminated when a call light in that room was activated. A call light console located at the nursing station also displayed room light indicators. A second system component included an alarm designed to sound when a call light was activated. The alarm was audible throughout the nursing unit. On 4/10/18 at 3:29 p.m., the call light console in the Station 2 nursing desk was heard to be continuously ringing with no room indicator lights lit on the panel. Call light indicators located above each resident room door in the hallways did not light up, indicating no call light had been activated from that room. When the same observation was made at 8:19 a.m., 4/11/18, LVN 1 was asked in which resident room a call light had been activated. She was unable to determine this from the call light console. LVN 1 checked the hallway lights and said, "No [call] lights are on." At 8:27 a.m., 4/11/18, LVN 1 indicated the maintenance department had been called and would be assessing the situation. After multiple observations between 4/10/18 4/13/18, the situation remained unchanged as of 1:36 p.m., on 4/13/18. Staff could not be audibly alerted to a newly activated call light since the signal was sounding continuously. In order to know that a resident call light had been turned on, staff would have to notice a lit visual indicator in the hallway above that resident's door. On 4/13/18 at 8:31 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS). When questioned about repair progress the MS stated he was "still working on [the system]." He indicated he was being periodically called away from the project to address other maintenance issues and was

unable to state when the system would be repaired. During a 1:31 p.m., 4/13/18 interview, the Administrator indicated the nurse call system had a "short" in it and said it would take time to find the location of the electrical problem. He stated the MS was "actively trying to repair" the system and the Administrator hoped to locate the source of the short "within two weeks." Review of correspondence provided by the Administrator revealed that contractor bids for replacement of the call light system were sent to the facility on 5/16/17 and 5/18/17. The Administrator did not send the bid information to the owner for approval for 9 months, on 2/19/18. The Administrator acknowledged the call light system functionality had been identified as a deficient practice during the previous 4/21/17 re certification survey. The Plan of Correction for the 4/21/17 deficient practice read: "The maintenance supervisor shall monitor the call light system by completing a test of the call light system monthly for six (6) months. ... The maintenance supervisor shall review and monitor findings monthly for 6 months. Trends identified shall be reviewed for any changes with the quality assurance committee for the duration of six months for compliance by the maintenance supervisor." Review of the "Monthly Testing of Call Light System" log revealed the following: May 2017, Three (3) call light modules required repair, (room 14, 26, and 47). June 2017, One (1) call light module required repair, in room 47.

Based on observation, interview and document review, the facility failed to maintain and promptly repair the nurse call light system. This failure potentially affected responsiveness to residents in 19 rooms (rooms 30 - 48) because staff were unable to rely on the system's audible alarm to determine by that a call light had been activated.
Findings: The facility's call light system included both visual and auditory components to alert nursing staff to resident need. The visual component included indicator lights located in the hallways above each resident room door which illuminated when a call light in that room was activated. A call light console located at the nursing station also displayed room light indicators. A second system component included an alarm designed to sound when a call light was activated. The alarm was audible throughout the nursing unit. At 3:29 p.m., 4/10/18, the call light console at the Station 2 nursing desk was heard to be continuously ringing. No room indicator light was lit on the panel and no hallway call light indicator was illuminated. When the same observation was made at 8:19 a.m., 4/11/18, LVN 1 was asked in which resident room a call light had been activated. She was unable to determine this from the call light console, checked the hallway lights and said, "No [call] lights are on." At 8:27 a.m., 4/11/18, LVN 1 indicated the maintenance department had been called and would be assessing the situation.

4/13/18, the situation remained unchanged at 1:36 p.m., 4/13/18 When asked about repair progress in an 8:31 a.m., 4/13/18 interview, the Maintenance Supervisor (MS) stated he was "still working on [the system]." He indicated he was being periodically called away from the project to address other maintenance issues and was unable to state when the system would be repaired. During a 1:31 p.m., 4/13/18 interview, the Administrator indicated the nurse call system had a "short" in it and said it would take time to find the location of the electrical problem. He stated the MS was "actively trying to repair" the system and the Administrator hoped to locate the source of the short "within two weeks." Review of correspondence provided by the Administrator revealed that contractor bids for replacement of the call light system were sent to the facility on 5/16/17 and 5/18/17. Bid information was sent from the Administrator to the facility owner several months later on 2/19/18. The Administrator acknowledged call light system functionality had been written as a survey deficiency in the past.

§483.90(i) Other Environmental Conditions The facility must provide a safe, functional, sanitary, and comfortable environment for residents, staff and the public. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by:
Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to maintain the roof and ceiling of the back dining room for a census of 97 when the ceiling was witnessed to be leaking and in disrepair. This failure had the potential to pose a safety risk due to the roof structure or dry wall being compromised. There was a concern for the potential health risks for Residents if moisture associated organism growth was occuring.
Findings: During an observation on 4/11/18 at 5:07 p.m., extensive brown and black colored staining was noted on the back dining room ceiling. Portions of the drywall were cracking and deteriorating. The damage measured approximately 6 feet in length in two different sections of the ceiling. There were brown drip marks noted running down the support beams. A brown discoloration was noted on the floor under a portion where the ceiling was damaged and cracked. During the Resident Council Interview conducted on 4/11/18 at 10:00 a.m., a confidential Resident stated the back dining area, "Smells like black mold". Another Resident stated, "There is always a smell back there during rain days." In an interview with the Activities Lead (AL) on 4/11/18 at approximately 5:15 p.m., she stated the back dining room was used for residents

who require assistance with dining and for activities. The AL stated the dining room was closed as recently as last week due to, "Bad weather". The AL stated the roof leaks, "When it rains". In a 4/12/18, 9:16 a.m. concurrent observation and interview with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS), he acknowledged the ceiling damage and the staining on the floor. The MS stated the ceiling has been in disrepair for, "About 6 months". The MS added the, "Roof and drywall needs to be replaced... I can't keep patching it, it will continue to leak until the roof is replaced." The MS stated when the roof is leaking buckets are placed on the floor to catch the dripping. Residents are moved out to the front dining room for activities and meals. In an interview with the Administrator (LNHA) on 4/13/18 at 1:30 p.m., he stated the ceiling had been that way for approximately 6 months. The LNHA stated the repairs were being held waiting for the, "Rainy season" to end. He explained the facility needed to get "new bids" for the repair work.
