F 0623 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman, before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to provide a Nursing Home Transfer and Discharge Notice before a transfer to the hospital for one (Resident #59) and/or their representative of three closed resident records sampled. Findings included: A record review of Resident #59's profile sheet revealed that he was admitted into the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of ventricular tachycardia, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, and Type II Diabetes with hyperglycemia. Record review revealed a progress dated note dated 07/20/2021(untimed) that read as follows. At 1700 (5:00 p.m.) Patient had an episode of vomiting while in bed, was seen by in house RT (Respiratory Therapist) at the time due to shortness of breath (SOB), breathing treatment was given and respiration improved. At 1820 (6:20 p.m.) the resident presented with increased respiration difficulty and O2 saturations of 80% on room air, PRN O2 (as needed) applied. sat(saturation) rose to 95%. Patient had greater confusion and restlessness. On 07/20/2021 at 1826 (6:26 p.m.), a Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) was initiated by nursing for diagnoses of altered and change in mental status and shortness of breath (SOB). A progress noted written at 18:35 (6:35 p.m.) indicated that his spouse was notified of his change in condition and transfer to the hospital, per physician order. A further record review of Resident #59's medical record revealed that it did not contain a Nursing Home Transfer and Discharge Notice for the transfer to the hospital on [DATE]. An interview was conducted with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Regional Nurse on 7/22/2021 at 12:01 p.m. During the interview they were informed that Resident #59 did not have a Nursing Home Transfer and Discharge Notice form in his medical record.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm On 7/23/21 at 8:52 a.m., an observation was conducted. Resident #57 was sitting up in her bed eating breakfast. She was wearing non- skid socks on her bilateral feet. The sponge boots were not on. Bilateral lower extremity edema of 3+ was noted. Her feet were not elevated, nor were any sponge boots observed in the room. In an interview with Resident #57 conducted at the time of the observation, she said they have never given her any foam boots, just the socks with the skids she is wearing. Residents Affected - Some On 7/23/21 at 8:57 a.m., an interview was conducted with Staff D, CNA (certified nursing assistant). Staff D, CNA said she put a pillow under Resident #57's feet and elevated them while the resident was in bed. Her feet start swelling toward the end of the day after she had been up a while. Staff D, CNA said the resident did not have any heel lifts that she knew of. On 7/23/21 at 12:37 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff E, RN. Staff E, RN said, [Resident #57] went to the long term care side for a little while. When she came back to this private room she didn't come back with the sponge boots. She gets up in the morning and stays up most of the time. When she was here before she was in bed more. If the resident is in bed too much she wants them in the boots. But when she came back over to this unit she was up more, so the sponge boots 'weren't a priority on her [Staff E] shift.' She gets skin prep on her heels. She had an area on the left leg I consulted the wound care doctor and it is better. The right leg looked like she banged it and was swollen, so I called the doctor to see if we need to rule out a DVT (deep vein thrombosis). During the interview the resident's room was inspected for the sponge boots and they were not found. Resident #57 was sitting in her wheel chair in the room with shoes on. On 7/23/21 at 12:58 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff B, RN unit manager. Staff B, RN said specialty equipment came from a company they call and have it delivered. Everybody was responsible for making sure the equipment came back with the patient when they were transferred from another room. Her heels have resolved so the sponge boots should have been taken off the orders. On 7/23/21 at 3:52 p.m., an interview was conducted with the DON, who said, They need to follow the order. 3. Resident #61 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of cerebral infarction, according to the face sheet in the admission record. A review of the MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 4, indicating severe cognitive impairment. Review of the care plan dated 10/13/20 reflected a Focus for: the resident has actual/potential altered respiratory status related to: COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Interventions included administer oxygen as ordered via O2 (oxygen) concentrator: 2 L (liters) via NC (nasal cannula) continuously and prn (as needed). Review of the physician's orders in the electronic medical record revealed an order dated 4/2/21 for oxygen at 2 liters/minute with humidification as needed every shift related to shortness of breath.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility did not ensure proper testing and monitoring of the dishwasher sanitization solution (chlorine) for the low temperature dish machine used to wash all resident dishware for the facility. During a tour of the facility kitchen on 07/22/21 at 10:20 a.m., the low temperature dish machine was observed. The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) was present and performed a wash, rinse, and sanitization cycle with the machine for a tray of eating utensils used by the residents. He demonstrated use of a pH (scale of how acid or basic a solution is) testing strip to measure the parts per million (ppm) of the chlorine sanitizing agent. He placed the strip on the utensils to gather the water that was collected there and measured the color of the strip against a guide to determine the ppm The test strip result was observed below 50 ppm and the CDM confirmed that reading. He said the ppm was supposed to be around 100 and confirmed the reading was not acceptable. He confirmed that kitchen staff were expected to test the pH of the sanitizer three times a day (breakfast dish cycle, lunch dish cycle, dinner dish cycle). The log for July 2021 was reviewed and revealed all entries for 7/1 - breakfast 7/22 were 100 ppm except the following: out of service dinner 7/5 breakfast - dinner 7/7; lunch 7/13-7/15 were entered as 120 ppm Photographic evidence obtained. An interview was conducted on 07/22/21 at 11:03 a.m. with the CDM. He said he had called the dish machine vendor; they had advised changing the chemical bucket and re-priming the machine, but the result was not improved. He said he primed and completed 4 cycles to no avail and the ppm results for the sanitizer were still between 25 ppm and 50 ppm He said he had informed the Administrator (NHA) and his Regional Director of Operations (RDO). He said the NHA was contacting a locksmith to come to the facility to unlock the machine so he could adjust the sanitization levels. The CDM said that once the machine was unlocked, he would have the machine vendor talk him through what to do on the telephone. Given that lunch service needed to begin soon, the CDM said that if he could get the machine fixed in time to re-wash all the dishware before lunch, he would do that, but if not, he would serve lunch with disposable ware. Concern was expressed about the dish machine log entries for chemical sanitizer accuracy given the observation conducted that day and given that he did not have access to adjust sanitizer levels for the machine. He said, I think your concern is probably correct about that, and said, ultimately the responsibility falls on me. He said his course of action would be an in-service and said he had not trained the staff himself on the process for testing and logging chemical sanitization since starting in the position at the facility. He said, I have not been testing it myself since I've been here .again ultimately the responsibility comes to me. The CDM said that part of his daily routine going forward would be to test the machine himself and said, Knowing what I know now I will actually check it myself and watch them do it .I will do it every day until I feel confident it's being done correctly. He identified that one of the kitchen staff had logged the entry for 7/22/21 breakfast but had left for the day. Lunch on 07/22/21 was served using disposable dishware. At 12:00 p.m. on 07/22/21 the CDM reported he was able to fix the chemical sanitization levels due to gaining access to locked compartment. pH test revealed in acceptable range close to 100 ppm A follow-up visit to the kitchen was conducted on 07/23/21 at 9:36 a.m. Staff H, Dietary Aide was interviewed. She confirmed her usual shift was 6:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. and she was responsible for washing dishes and testing and recording chemical sanitization levels.
