F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. Based on observation, and interview the facility failed to honor residents' rights to dignity during the dining experience for 4 of 31 (#11, #15, #30, and #18) sampled residents related to 1. staff standing over residents while feeding the residents, 2. multiple interruptions of a resident's dining and 3. use of bleached tablecloths. Findings included: 1. Observations of the main dining room on 9/24/19 at 12:25 p.m. revealed the midday meal was in progress. Observations during this dining revealed that Staff A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) was noted to be standing over Resident #11 and feeding him his meal with a fork. It was noted that the resident's head was slightly pulled back to accommodate the feeding with the fork. Continued observations on 9/24/19 at 12:32 p.m. revealed that Resident #30 was noted to have his midday meal plated in a scoop plate. Staff B, CNA was observed to assist the resident by feeding him his meal while she stood over Resident #30. Observations on 9/24/19 at 12:46 p.m. of the resident hall closest to the dining room revealed that Resident #15 was seated in his wheelchair in his room. This observation revealed that Staff C, CNA was next to the resident's wheelchair, standing over him while she fed him his meal. An interview on 9/26/19 at 12:58 p.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) revealed that when there was a meal in the dining room, a nurse must be in the dining room supervising. She reported that the purpose of having a nurse supervise the dining room was to monitor residents, who are being assisted with dining, in case of issues with choking, or issues with feeding status. On 9/26/19 at 1:00 p.m. the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), Director of Nursing (DON) and ADON reported that if the staff was not standing over the resident that it was ok to stand while feeding. The ADON demonstrated how to stand next to a wheelchair while feeding. However, they thought that the staff should be sitting beside the residents and would check and see if there was a policy. 2. Observations of the main dining room on 9/24/19 at 12:35 p.m. revealed that Resident #18 was seated at a table located directly to the right of the entryway of the dining room. The resident was seated with his back to the entryway and sat with two other residents. All were noted to be seated in their wheelchairs. Continued observations of the dining experience revealed that staff asked Resident #18 to move from the table three times while eating, to allow three other residents out of the dining room. It was noted that after the third request to move from his meal, Resident #18 left the dining room, leaving his dessert on his plate.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few An interview on 9/24/19 at 12:41 p.m. with Resident #18 and his roommate, who assisted with verbalizing Resident 18's gestures, revealed that the staff asked him to move sometimes. He reported that it was annoying, but that he was fine. 3. Observations of the midday meal in the main dining room on 9/24/19 at 12:25 p.m. revealed that four of six burgundy table cloths were noted to have multiple bleach stains.

An interview on 9/26/19 at 1:02 p.m. with the Housekeeping Account Manager revealed that she was a part of a contracted agency providing housekeeping services. She reported that the facility was responsible for ordering table cloths. She reported that she told the NHA two months ago about ordering new table cloths, but that he accidentally ordered napkins. She reported that when the table cloths are bleached, she would just ask for new ones, but does not request them in writing. An interview on 9/26/19 at 1:15 p.m. with the NHA revealed that he was unaware that he had ordered napkins instead of tablecloths, and that no one had mentioned it to him. He reported that he has now ordered new tablecloths, because the staff should not be using the stained ones. A request was made of the NHA for a policy related to dignity during dining. On 9/26/19 at 1:15 p.m. the NHA reported that the facility did not have a policy related to dignity during dining.

Based on observation, interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to follow their policy to ensure controlled substances were stored in a permanently attached compartment in the refrigerator in the medication storage room and did not appropriately secure medications in two of two medication carts. Findings included: A facility provided policy titled, 5.3 Storage and Expiration Dating of Medications, Biologicals, Syringes and Needles, with a revision date of 07/23/19, Page 01 of 03, was reviewed and revealed: 3. General Storage Procedures 3.1.1 Store all drugs and biologicals in locked compartments, including the storage of Schedule II-V medications in separately locked, permanently affixed compartments, permitting only authorized personnel to have access.
