What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Physician and Resident Representative were notified of a change in condition in a timely manner for one resident (#1) of two residents sampled. Findings included: Review of the admission Record for Resident #1 revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A review of the contact information showed the resident had a responsible party designated as the POA (Power of Attorney) and Emergency Contact #1. Review of the medical record evaluations tab for Resident #1 revealed there were no assessments, change in condition forms or SBAR (Situation Background Assessment and Recommendations during the time of Resident #1's injury on 07/25/24 and 07/26/24. An SBAR dated 07/27/24 was documented revealing a skin evaluation showed the resident had blisters. On 08/20/24 at 10:24 a.m., a telephone interview was conducted with the facility's Medical Director (MD). He said, I went and saw the resident the day after the incident. I saw she had bruising on her inner thighs that looked linear. I heard she had spilled coffee on herself the day before. I did not hear of it that day. At the time of the assessment, she was sitting in her wheelchair. I saw what looked like an old burn, and the blisters had already deflated. They had been trying to catheterize her as she was having trouble urinating. I saw a linear bruising which at first, I thought was from the irritation during the catheterization. They did not call me when the burn happened. They called me to tell me she was not eating and to follow -up on some labs I had ordered due to the voiding. The MD stated at the time the incident happened, they did not tell him. He stated he was notified the next day around 10 a.m. and when he came in that afternoon, he saw the resident in person and ordered treatment for her. The MD said, Of course they should have notified me at the time of the incident. We could have initiated treatment right away. The MD stated he continued to see the resident probably 6-7 times until her bruising had healed. On 08/20/24 at 10:52 a.m., a telephone interview was conducted with Resident #1's Responsible Party (RP). The RP stated she did not know the resident had suffered coffee burns. She said, No one called me about her being burned with coffee. This is the first time I am hearing about it. She stated some time [at the] end of July, she had received a call from a nurse who reported two blisters that could have been from friction. She said, No one mentioned what caused the blisters. The RP stated the resident was not a big person. The friction story did not make any sense to her. She stated the resident's memory comes and goes and she could not count on her to report if she had suffered burns or if she was in pain.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, record review, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure one (#1) of four residents sampled were free from burn hazards during activities coffee social hour. Findings included: Review of the Resident admission Record dated 08/19/24, showed Resident #1 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. The resident was admitted with diagnoses that included but not limited to Dementia unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, weakness, need for assistance with personal care, cognitive communication deficit, muscle weakness, and encephalopathy. Review of a quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 06/03/24, section C showed Resident #1 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 06 which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Section GG showed the resident required moderate assistance for eating, meaning the helper did less than half the effort. Review of a care plan initiated 07/09/20, showed an Activities of Daily Living (ADL) focus for ADL self-care performance deficit related to ADL needs. Participation varied due to Dementia, limited mobility and weakness. Interventions included staff to offer and assist with meals. A second focus showed Resident #1 had impaired cognitive function or impaired thought processes related to dementia, impaired decision-making, long-term memory loss, and short-term memory loss. Interventions included to cue, reorient, and supervise as needed.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm some time at the end of July, she had received a call from a nurse who reported two blisters that could have been from friction. She said, No one mentioned what caused the blisters. The RP stated the resident was not a big person. The friction story did not make any sense to her. She stated the resident's memory comes and goes and she could not count on her to report if she had suffered burns or if she was in pain. Residents Affected - Few On 08/20/24 at 11:54 a.m., a telephone interview was conducted with Staff A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who was working with Resident #1 in the activities room. She stated she was familiar with the resident and worked with her before. She stated the resident had declined and required extensive assistance. She stated on 07/25/24, she had roughly eight residents in the activities room. She stated Resident #1 asked for coffee. She stated they had a [brand name of coffee machine] in the activities room. She was assisting the Activities Director (AD) who told her to make coffee. She said, I brewed the coffee, put creamer and sugar and handed it to [Resident #1]. She stated the resident had right side weakness and could barely move her right hand. She said, the resident was facing the TV at first, after I served her the coffee, I turned her around to face the sitting bar area. I poured the coffee into a [Brand name] cup. I said it is hot. She did not touch the coffee at first, I was sitting there charting, then I heard something spill, I looked over and saw the cup on the floor. She had some on herself. A little bit on the sweater and on pants. She did not yell or cream. She said 'Oooh!' She did not say she was in pain. I asked did you spill coffee on yourself? She did not answer. I got the napkins and started to clean her up. [Staff C, CNA] came to the room, and she went to get real towels. She helped to clean her up. Staff A stated it was approximately 15 20 minutes before lunch. She stated she told the resident's aide (Staff B, CNA) she had spilled coffee on herself. She stated the resident went to the dining room right after the incident and she was not changed immediately. Staff A stated they would normally serve coffee in [Brand name] cups during activities social hour. She confirmed it was not in a mug, it did not have a lid, and it did not have handles. Staff A said, No one said that I needed to check the coffee temperature before serving. Staff A said, I did not notify the nurse. I figured the assigned Aide would go get the nurse. She stated the assigned Aide (Staff B) wheeled her to the dining room. Staff A stated after lunch she saw the resident in her bed and a nurse was in the room. She said, I assumed she was aware. I did not know it was for other reasons. Staff A stated she had notified Staff D, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)/ MDS. She stated Staff D had walked in to the activities room to tell her to push fluids for Resident #1. Staff A said, I said Okay , she just spilled coffee on herself. She stated she did not know what Staff D, LPN did with that information as the nurse did not say anything. Staff A said, Looking back, I should have gone to tell the assigned nurse myself. On 08/20/24 at 11:54 a.m., an interview was conducted with Staff C, CNA. She stated she was not assigned to Resident #1. She was taking another resident to activities at approximately 10:30 a.m. when she noticed the resident had dropped her coffee. She said, I heard her making sounds. She is not loud, she does not speak up. I saw she had [spilled] her coffee on herself. I went and got towels from the resident's room and saw the CNA who was assigned [Staff B,CNA] in her room, making the bed. I told the CNA she had spilled coffee. We both walked back to the activities room and found Staff A trying to clean what she could with the napkins. I helped finish wiping down the area. I left and went back to my assigned area. I did not notify anyone other than the CNA who was assigned. Staff C said, It is an expectation that I should report, I assumed Staff A and Staff B would let the nurse know. In hindsight, it was a mistake. Once they asked, I was surprised. The next day I told them she was burned with coffee. On 08/20/24 at 12:32 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff B, CNA (Assigned to Resident #1 on 7/25/24). She worked 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on 07/25/24.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few when she dropped the cup. I was in her room making her bed. [Staff C, CNA] came and got a towel and said the resident had [spilled] coffee on herself. I was in the room with another resident at the time and I could not leave right away. When I was done, I found they had cleaned her up. They wiped the coffee off her. When I got ready to lay her down after lunch, around 12:30 p.m. I put her to bed and noticed some bruises on her thigh, it was not bubbled yet. I thought it was from her brief. It was not there when I showered her earlier. When I went to check her later around 5:30 p.m., I saw she had blistered on her left thigh. I did not tell the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON). It flipped (sic) my mind when I saw the blisters. I said to myself, she had burnt herself. I told her nurse [Staff F, LPN]. Staff B stated Resident #1 would not remember if she had spilled coffee on herself or not. Staff B stated she would not tell if she was in pain. Staff B said, She expresses with her face. She did not have any facial expressions. Staff B stated she did not report the burn incident to the nurse because she assumed the people that were in there should have told the nurse. On 08/19/24 at 9:59 a.m., an interview was conducted with the ADON/Unit Manager. She stated Resident #1 was alert, spoke very little and made her needs known through eye contact. Every now and then you could get her to speak. The ADON/UM, stated on 07/25/24, Resident #1 spilled coffee on herself during activities. The coffee was brewed in the activities room. She stated she was not sure they checked the temperatures. The ADON stated at approximately 12:00 p.m., herself and Staff D, LPN had gone into the resident's room to catheterize her. She said, At that time, we had noted what appeared to be old areas of irritation to her skin, we did not know about the burn incident. She had some irritation near her groin. Later that day, roughly 3 hours later, the CNA, [Staff B] came and said the resident had blistered areas. She said she did not know where the blisters came from. The ADON stated she notified Staff E, LPN who was assigned to the resident. She stated she thought Staff E had assessed the resident, called the doctor and put treatment in place. She said, I did not become aware of the burn incident until later in the day, sometime after 5 p.m. I notified the assigned nurse, Staff E. The ADON confirmed she did not assess the resident or call the doctor. She stated the assigned nurse should have. She stated she assessed Resident #1 the following morning and observed a blistered area to her left upper thigh area and one on the right inner middle thigh, lower than the brief area. She said, the resident did not express any pain. I called the doctor and received orders. The doctor came in later in the afternoon. On 08/19/24 at 2:43 p.m., a follow-up interview was conducted with the ADON. She said, I became aware of blisters at approximately 5 p.m. Staff B, CNA spoke to me. I went to the nurse and told her the CNA had notified me that the resident had blisters. I told her to do a CIC (Change in Condition), call the doctor and notify the family. I can't confirm if it was done or not. I did not ask. I did not follow up. She completed the risk form which does not prompt you to do any other documentation. The ADON confirmed Staff F did not document in the medical record. The ADON said, I did not call the doctor the day of the incident. I expected the nurse who was assigned to the resident to do it. I don't know why she did not. Yes, I am her supervisor. I did not review the record to see what she did. The resident did not receive any treatment that day. I don't know why there is no documentation. On 08/19/24 at 12:52 p.m., a telephone interview was conducted with Staff F, LPN assigned to Resident #1 on 07/25/24. She said, I was told by [Staff B, CNA] around maybe 6:45 p.m. She said the resident spilled coffee on herself. I asked her when. She said it happened earlier in the day. I asked why she did not tell me she said she forgot. I went to look at her [Resident #1]. She had two blisters in her thighs. She had one on her left side, a little bit under the groin area. The following day she had one on the right side too. I told [the ADON]. She was assessed by the ADON. The ADON called the doctor and made the notes.

He said, I went and saw the resident the day after the incident. I saw she had bruising on her inner thighs that looked linear. I heard she had spilled coffee on herself the day before. I did not hear of it that day. At the time of the assessment, she was sitting in her wheelchair. I saw what looked like an old burn, and the blisters had already deflated. They had been trying to catheterize her as she was having trouble urinating. I saw a linear bruising which at first, I thought was from the irritation during the catheterization. They did not call me when the burn happened. They called me to tell me she was not eating and to follow up on some labs I had ordered due to the voiding. The MD stated at the time the incident happened, they did not tell him. He stated he was notified the next day around 10 a.m. and when he came in that afternoon, he saw the resident in person and ordered treatment for her.

She said, She had some dampness on her clothes to the side of her left leg, I touched it, and it was moist, like her clothes had touched something wet. I knew she had just come out of the shower. I did not see any appearance of coffee spilled on the floor or on the resident. The CNA was over at the table charting. Staff D stated she saw the skin irritation around 12:30 p.m. when they were trying to catheterize the resident. She stated she thought it was caused by her brief or something. She stated she did not investigate the irritation. She said, the CNA applied barrier cream.
