**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record reviews, and interviews the facility failed to ensure one (#63) out of thirty-seven
sampled residents had the right to be treated with dignity and respect related to staff restricting the
residents' ability to self-propel in a wheelchair.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include
An observation on 1/24/22 at 10:36 a.m., revealed Resident #63 sitting in a wheelchair at the end of the
100-hallway. The resident attempted to self-propel the wheelchair into room [ROOM NUMBER], which was
not where the resident resided. Staff Member A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) directed the resident
back into the hallway and locked both wheels of the chair as it was parked between rooms [ROOM
NUMBERS] at the end of the hallway.
During an interview, at 10:40 a.m. on 1/24/22, Staff A confirmed locking both wheels of Resident #63's
wheelchair. The CNA stated she does that because the resident attempts to stand up. On 1/24/22 at 10:44
a.m., Staff Member E, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated that staff does lock Resident #63's
wheelchair as the unit had a breakout of COVID-19 and locking the wheelchair prevents the resident from
going into other resident rooms. The LPN reported that when we have time, we unlock it and let him go.
An observation at 11:32 a.m. on 1/24/22 identified that both brakes on Resident #63's wheelchair continued
to be locked while the resident sat in the chair at the end of the 100-hallway between rooms [ROOM
NUMBERS]. On 1/24/22 at 12:04 p.m., Staff E unlocked the left-sided brake as the resident sat in the
wheelchair at the end of the 100-hallway.
On 1/26/22 at 5:49 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was unacceptable (to lock both wheelchair
brakes) if its done to prevent the resident from falling, that is restricting movement. She stated that it was
okay to lock the wheelchair if assisting in transferring (to or from the wheelchair).
Resident #63 was admitted on [DATE]. The admission Record included diagnoses not limited to unspecified
Dementia without behavioral disturbance, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with unspecified diabetic retinopathy
without macular edema, and unspecified eye acute angle-closure glaucoma.
A review of Resident #63's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], identified that the resident

dated 1/20/22, Empty and Rinse CPAP humidifier chamber every a.m. (QAM) and allow to dry every day
shift. Every day shift for Acute and Chronic Respiratory Failure with Hypercapnia.
An observation was conducted, on 1/25/22 at 9:02 a.m., of Resident #57's continuous positive airway
pressure (CPAP) machine in the bottom drawer of the bedside dresser. The observation revealed the tubing
from the machine was lying out of the drawer, on the floor then looped back into the drawer with the
uncovered mask lying on the other items in the drawer. The resident reported taking the mask off, the aides
put it the drawer, and that staff fill it (humidifer) with water.

bottom drawer, the water container was attached to the machine. The resident stated that staff do not clean
the container but does fill it with water.
A review of the residents' January Treatment Administration Record (TAR), on 1/26/22 at 11:27 a.m., did not
indicate that the humidifer had been emptied and rinsed. The TAR did not indicate an order prior to 1/20/22
that instructed staff to empty and rinse the CPAP humidifer chamber. The TAR did not include an order prior
to 1/19/22 that instructed staff to fill the CPAP humidifer chamber with distilled or sterile water.
On 1/26/22 at 12:17 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) observed the CPAP and spoke with the resident
and a family member, who was at bedside. The DON observed the CPAP stored in the bottom drawer and
the mask that continued to lie uncovered atop other items in the bottom drawer of the bedside dresser. The
DON stated, the CPAP mask should not be stored that way, it should be in a bag. Resident #57 reported
that staff had not cleaned the mask or the chamber.
On 1/26/22 at 12:35 p.m., Staff Member L, Registered Nurse (RN) stated he had not cleaned the mask
before or the humidifer then immediately retracted and said he had cleaned both after reviewing the
physician orders.
The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], identified that Resident #57's Brief Interview of
Mental Status (BIMS) score was 15 out of 15, indicative of an intact cognition. The MDS indicated that the
resident utilized a non-invasive mechanical ventilator (BiPAP/CPAP) while a resident. The residents' care
plan did not include the focus or inventions related to Resident #57's use of a CPAP.

(https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/cpap-machine-cleaning-ozone-uv-light-products-are-not-fda-approved)
the reason a CPAP machine needed to be cleaned was that, Germs from your lungs, throat, or mouth can
get into the CPAP mask or hose as you breathe in and out during sleep, or germs on your skin may get
transferred to the CPAP mask or hose. Dust, mold, or other allergens may also get into the CPAP mask or
hose. All types of CPAP machines need to be cleaned regularly so that these germs and contaminants do
not grow inside of your equipment and make you sick. The information indicated that the All detachable
CPAP parts can generally be cleaned with mild soap and water unless the owner's manual says otherwise.

when a dialysis resident comes back, the expectation is to check the site, monitor for bleeding and take
vitals. Staff J stated that the expectation is to document in dialysis communication form and in the TAR.
Staff J stated that if concerns are noted, they are to notify the physician. Staff J, RN said, yes, the form
should be completely filled out.
An interview was conducted on 01/26/22 at 12:45 p.m. with Staff S, LPN stated that she takes care of
Resident #35. Staff S said, when he [Resident #35] comes home, I check his vitals per orders. My
communication forms are fully completed. Staff S stated that if the dialysis nurse does not do their part, she
calls them and asks them to complete and fax it back. Staff S said, I do know there was a problem with the
order not matching the TAR. Staff S stated that she had notified the unit manager. Staff S stated that
dialysis orders stated to go to dialysis on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and the TAR reads to monitor post
dialysis vitals on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Staff S confirmed that documentation was missed
because of the order confusion.
On 01/26/22 at 12:50 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff L, RN unit Manager. Staff L stated that he
did not know that the order in the TAR did not match the physician orders. Staff L said, I don't recall anyone

did not happen. The expectation is for post dialysis care to be fully completed. Staff L stated that post

it was not documented, it did not happen. The DON stated that the nurses should follow physician's orders.
The DON confirmed that the order stated to monitor the shunt site daily. The DON stated that monitoring
should be completed as ordered. The DON stated that some dialysis communication orders were missing
because they switched [Resident #35's] schedule but his orders in the TAR were not updated. The DON
said, the TAR should match the physician's order. There were many moving parts and we dropped the ball.
On 01/26/22 at 10:54 a.m., the DON stated that the facility did not have a documentation policy.
Review of a facility's order titled, physician orders, dated October 2021, stated that each time a resident is

transcription and identify errors of omission.
#16. When the physician's order changes an order that is currently in place, discontinue the original
physician's order . Assure the new order reflects the change and order components required.

light did not turn on. Staff I stated that she was not aware that the call light was broken. She then stated that
Resident #89 was not able to use or operate the call light anyway. The process at the facility was to notify
the nurse that the light was not working, and she would then log it in the book for the Maintenance Director.
Since the Maintenance Director was nearby in the hallway, she would notify him verbally.
On 01/26/22 at 03:35 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Regional Maintenance Director. He was
called to the room and confirmed that the call light was broken. He unplugged the call light cord from the
wall and placed it into the garbage as he was leaving Resident #89's room. He stated that he would have it
fixed right away.
On 01/26/22 at 03:36 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Staff J, Unit Manager. She stated that she
was not aware that the call light was broken because it was not reported to her. She reached into the
garbage, removed the call light cord and confirmed that it was broken. She stated that if they would have
stopped putting her on the cart all the time, she could have performed her Unit Manager duties.
On 01/27/22 at 03:05 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff H, CNA. She stated that she noticed that
the call light had been repaired in Resident #89's room. She then notified the surveyor that there was
another resident (#17) with a broken call light. The surveyor inquired about the room number. Staff H
informed the surveyor of the room number referenced. The surveyor immediately went into the room to
observe the broken call light cord (photographic evidence obtained).
On 01/27/22 at 03:18 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) was notified of the issues with the broken call
lights for Resident #89 and Resident #17. A policy on call light/equipment maintenance and repair was
requested.
On 01/27/22 at 03:30 p.m., an interview was conducted with the DON. She stated that she did not have the
policy that was requested. The DON stated The resident's call light should have been working. There are
Department heads that go around to the resident's room to make sure things are functioning properly. The
room had not been checked today because they had been running around since the state was there. She
said the Nursing Home Administrator was responsible to maintain the list of issues found during their
rounds. She stated, the CNA should have notified the nurse of the broken call light. The Maintenance
Director was going to repair the call light immediately. They were going to complete an audit of all the call
light cords in the facility. The DON confirmed if they would have done so yesterday when they were notified
of the issue with Resident #89's broken call light, they would have caught the broken call light in Resident
#17's room.
On 01/27/22 at 05:38 p.m., the DON stated that the call light audit had been completed by the Nursing
Home Administrator and the Maintenance Director.
