for those services, including any charges for
services not covered under Medicare/ Medicaid
or by the facility's per diem rate.
(i) Where changes in coverage are made to
items and services covered by Medicare and/or
by the Medicaid State plan, the facility must
provide notice to residents of the change as
soon as is reasonably possible.
(ii) Where changes are made to charges for
other items and services that the facility offers,
the facility must inform the resident in writing at
least 60 days prior to implementation of the
change.
(iii) If a resident dies or is hospitalized or is
transferred and does not return to the facility,
the facility must refund to the resident, resident
representative, or estate, as applicable, any
deposit or charges already paid, less the
facility's per diem rate, for the days the resident

§483.15(c)(8) Notice in advance of facility

In the case of facility closure, the individual who
is the administrator of the facility must provide
written notification prior to the impending

of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman,
residents of the facility, and the resident
representatives, as well as the plan for the
transfer and adequate relocation of the
residents, as required at § 483.70(l).
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on staff interviews and clinical record
review, the facility failed to notify the local
Long-Term Care (LTC) Ombudsman
(advocate) of the residents' transfer to the local
emergency room (ER) for 4 of 41 sampled
residents, (Resident 51, Resident 5, Resident
73, and Resident 17).
This failure denied Resident 51, Resident 5,
Resident 73, and Resident 17 of the added
protection of having the LTC Ombudsman
being made aware of their transfer from the
facility.

Findings:
Clinical record reviews revealed the following
residents were transferred from the facility to
the local ER:
a. Resident 51 was transferred from the facility
to the local ER on 3/27/19 and 4/12/19;
b. Resident 5 was transferred from the facility
to the local ER on 3/19/19 and 4/8/19;
c. Resident 73 was transferred from the facility
to the local ER on 3/15/19 and 4/5/19; and
d. Resident 17 was transferred from the facility
to the local ER on 1/15/19.
Further clinical record review revealed there
was no documented evidence that a notice of
transfer/discharge was sent to the LTC
Ombudsman for any of the ER transfers
regarding Resident 51, Resident 5, Resident
73, and Resident 17.
In a concurrent interview and record review on
5/7/19, at 4:43 p.m., licensed nurse (LN) 4
stated the facility had not been notifying the
LTC Ombudsman when residents transferred
to the ER. LN 4 stated there were no written
notification sent to LTC Ombudsman.
In a concurrent interview and record review on
5/8/19, at 11:42 a.m., the executive director
(ED) confirmed transfer/discharge notices were

Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool)

This failure had the potential for Resident 68 to

Resident 68 was admitted to the facility with
diagnoses which included dementia (a decline
in mental ability) and abnormalities of gait and
mobility.
Resident 68 was observed sitting in a geri chair

In an interview with the MDS coordinator
(MDSC) on 5/8/19, at 2:58 p.m., the MDSC
verified the information on Resident 68's
11/13/18, 2/6/19, and 4/25/19 MDS. She
acknowledged Section G0110B1 and Section
G0110E1 was coded as "4" on the 4/25/19
MDS and this MDS was different from the
11/13/18 and the 2/6/19 MDS. The code of "4"
indicated Resident 68 was totally dependent on
staff for transfers and mobility. The MDSC
stated Resident 68 was able to bear weight for
transfer but needed staff assistance for
support.
In an interview with the assistant director of
nurses (ADON) on 5/9/19, at 2:46 p.m., she
stated Resident 68 did not self propel their
wheelchair or geri chair.
In a subsequent interview with the MDSC on
5/9/19, at 2:51 p.m., she explained, "There was
no actual decline in Resident 68's functional
status. The discrepancy [or change of code
from "3" to "4"] was because staff started to
use the stand lift (a mechanical device used to
assist a resident who can bear weight from
sitting to standing position) for Resident 68 so
the nurse who filled out the most current MDS
coded it as a "4". The MDSC verbalized the
MDS assessment was "supposed to be based
on the resident's ability and not what staff is
doing for the resident."

Based on observations and interviews, the
facility failed to ensure proper storage of and
allowed access to chemicals when a liquid drug
deactivation container (Brand Name product
that uses activated charcoal to neutralize the
chemicals in pills, liquids, controlled
substances and transdermal patches) was
stored on the outside of three medication carts
for a census of 79.
This failure had the potential for staff, visitors,
and residents to ingest the liquid charcoal,
resulting in vomiting, and skin or eye irritation.
Findings:
During a concurrent medication pass
observation and interview on 5/8/19 at 8:25
a.m., licensed nurse (LN) 2 was administering
medications to Resident 18. LN 2 was
reviewing the medications with Resident 18.
Resident 18 had a calcium with vitamin D tablet
in her hand and stated to LN 2 that she did not
want to take it; the tablet then fell on the floor.
LN 2 picked up the medication and stated she
would place it in the container with the [Brand

was located on the left side of the medication
cart approximately 10 inches off the floor. LN 2
was observed placing the tablet into the
container.
In an observation on 5/8/19, at 2:40 p.m., there
were three medication carts in the facility.

[Brand Name] liquid deactivation liquid stored
on the left lower side of the cart.
In a concurrent interview and observation on
5/8/19, at 2:55 p.m., with LN 1, LN 1 verified
that the liquid drug deactivation containers
were stored on the outside of the medication
carts, were used to dispose of medication, and
were accessible to anyone.
In a concurrent interview and observation on
5/8/19, at 3:04 p.m., with the assistant director
of nurses (ADON), the ADON stated the liquid
drug deactivation container should be inside
the medication cart as staff will not be able to
monitor it at all times.
An observation of the liquid drug deactivation
container revealed it contained 16 ounces (a
unit of measure) of activated carbon (charcoal),
surfactants (substances that reduce surface
tension), and neutralizing agents. The
container indicated, "Warnings Ingestion of this
products will induce vomiting. Keep out of
reach of children May be harmful if swallowed.

LN 2 stated controlled medication patches are
removed from the resident and documented by

LN 1, who indicated the patches are placed in
the Drug Buster container on the medication
cart or in the storage room. LN 2 took the
Department to an unlocked storage room
where she obtained a key Velcroed to a paper
towel dispenser next to the sink. LN 2 used the
key labeled, "Under Sink Cabinet" to open a
cabinet door under the sink. LN 2 pointed to a
blue and white plastic container which did not
have a locked top and was not secured. LN 2
opened the top of the plastic container and
said, "See there's some fentanyl patches right

when anyone enters the kitchen they are to put
on a hair net.
During an observation on 5/8/19, at 11:37 a.m.,

the kitchen to a hallway next to the door she
entered. She was not wearing any form of
head covering to contain her hair.

The facility will conduct an annual review of its

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, staff interviews, and
record review, the facility failed to implement its
infection control program for 6 residents
(Resident 12, Resident 34, Resident 36,
Resident 40, Resident 41, and Resident 49) out
of a census of 79 when staff did not perform
proper hand hygiene while assisting residents
with meals.
This failure had the potential to spread infection
to Resident 12, Resident 34, Resident 36,
Resident 40, Resident 41, and Resident 49.
Findings:

wheelchair away from the exit door and lightly
rubbed the female resident's back. CNA 2 then
sat down next to Resident 36, rubbed Resident
36's back, then touched Resident 36's glass of
water to encourage Resident 36 to drink. CNA
2 did not perform hand hygiene in between
residents.
In an interview with CNA 2 on 5/6/19, at 12:50

hands or use hand sanitizer after touching a
resident's wheelchair.
In an interview with the infection control nurse
