Her other roommates were in the room. Resident #36 denied the abuse incident at that time. She did not say [Staff T] used choice words. I don't know why she changed her story. She had first reported the incident to [Staff R] the morning it happened.

I received a call from some insurance people while she was at the hospital. They wanted to know the date of the incident. I told them, she did not fall at dialysis. I have not heard from them again. The Clinical Manager confirmed the facility never contacted her to inquire about the resident's fall or an injury she may have sustained at the ESRD facility.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Many resident said nobody hurt her and no one abused her. He stated there were two notes from the nurse which read, On 12/4/23 resident alert, she complained of leg pain and pain medication given. Right leg was not swollen but she did complain when I moved it through ROM (range of motion). CNA made me aware she was complaining of pain in her right leg. A CNA report read, I was giving care to [Resident #12] when I moved her leg, she was in pain. I informed the nurse who was on duty. The RMC stated the NHA Investigation summary showed the resident's knee x-ray results showed fracture of right fibula and tibia. It showed the PCP, DON and NHA were notified. The NHA interviewed the patient and she denied anybody was abusing her. She admits to falling at dialysis center. Medical Doctor (MD) ordered transfer to the ED. She left a voice mail with patient's mother and was waiting for a call back. The RMC said, I cannot conclude what happened. I agree there is an incomplete investigation. On 01/12/24 12:48 p.m. The RNC stated, The NHA talked to the patient who has a BIMS of 14 there does not seem a reason why we would not trust that patient. I did not know she was blind. I do understand that the patient suffered a significant injury. She reported it happened at dialysis. I agree, there is no evidence that follow-up calls were made to figure out what happened. Further investigation should have been conducted. You are right, dialysis or dialysis company should have been contacted. I don't know if the incident was reported. 01/12/24 at 3:16 p.m., an interview was conducted with the facility's Medical Director (MD), who is also Resident #12's PCP. The MD stated he did not have any recollection of any recent injury reports that resulted in a hospitalization. He could not recollect a fall with injury for Resident #12 and stated I would know. The MD did not remember being notified. The MD stated if there was a significant injury, he would have expected to be notified. The MD said, I would remember if a resident had significant injuries. It should be documented if I had a follow-up visit. Review of physician notes showed Resident #12 was seen by the MD on 04/12/23, 04/26/23 and 09/09/23. There were no physician notes documented on or around the time of Resident #12's injury on 12/04/23 or after she returned from the hospital on [DATE]. Based on interviews with residents, staff and administrative staff, and Medical Director, and review of the clinical record, incident log, and policy and procedure, it was determined the facility failed to protect residents' right to be free from physical, verbal, psychological, psychosocial and sexual abuse, and neglect by failing to implement a systematic process to carry out their abuse policy to ensure witnessed or reported abusive interactions, neglect and injuries were fully investigated and addressed for nine residents (#164, #6, #36, #90,#32, #100, #308, #106, #12) of 12 residents sampled. Incidents occurred between residents (#164, #6, #36) and staff members and between a resident (#90) and two other residents (#32, and #100). The facility failed to identify and prevent neglect by failing to ensure wound care orders were implemented for two residents (#308 and #106) and failed to investigate the cause of a fracture for one resident (#12) who stated they fell. These failures resulted in Immediate Jeopardy which began on 09/19/23 and was ongoing at the time of survey exit on 01/12/2024. Findings included: Cross reference F610, F726, F835, and F867.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Many Review of the facility's abuse log revealed a resident to resident incident occurred on 11/21/23 involving Resident #32 and Resident #90. Review of Resident # 32's progress note, dated 11/21/2023 at 9:04 p.m., signed by Staff L, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), revealed, Resident reported that another resident touched her inappropriately. States that while at the smoking area on Saturday [11/18/23], a male resident approached her and asked her if she would like to be sexually harassed, she agreed to it thinking it was a joke and he went ahead and touched her breast. Review of Resident #32's most recent Quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS), dated [DATE], revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating the resident was cognitively intact. During an interview on 01/10/24 at 3:05 p.m. Resident #32 said Resident #90 came up and asked if I wanted to be sexually harassed. I thought he was joking and then he groped my breast. When asked if she thought the touch on her breast could have been an accident, Resident #32 replied, I never told anyone it was an accident. Resident #32 continued to describe the events and said, Staff I, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) overheard me say to Resident #90, there will be no more of that, and asked what I was talking about. Resident #32 reported she told Staff I, CNA about Resident #90 touching her breast. Staff I then came to my room and helped me write a grievance. This was all reported to Staff I, CNA on the day it occurred, but I found out about four days after the incident, on 11/21/2023, that the grievance had been lost. I became hysterical and called the police. The police came and talked to me. This was on 11/21/2023, four days after the incident, and four days after Staff I, CNA helped me write the grievance. When I called the police, I heard Resident #90 was immediately placed on 1:1 (one to one) supervision, but I heard he got caught with someone else and was put on 1:1 again. During an interview on 01/10/24 at 3:15 p.m., Staff I, CNA reported she remembered Resident #32 reporting the allegation of sexual abuse. She said she reported the incident but was not sure who she had reported it to. Staff I was aware law enforcement was called but was not present at the facility when law enforcement came. Staff I said Resident #90 was placed on 1:1 supervision immediately after she reported it. Resident #90 was taken off of the 1:1 supervision (date unknown) but was placed back on 1:1, maybe less than two weeks later. A follow-up interview was conducted with Staff I, CNA on 01/11/24 at 1:17 p.m. She recalled reporting the event with Residents #32 and #90 on a Saturday (11/18/21) to the weekend nurse supervisor, Staff N, Registered Nurse (RN). Staff I, CNA did not know if Staff N, RN called the Director of Nursing (DON) or the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) to report the event but remembered they wanted a statement. They had Resident #32 write the statement and Staff I, CNA signed under Resident #32's statement. The weekend supervisor (Staff N, RN) was sick the next day and I made a copy of the statement, but I can't find the copy. I slid the statement under the NHA's door on Sunday before I left the facility. On Monday, the NHA said the housekeeper must have swept up the statement because she did not see it. I came in that Tuesday, 11/21/2023 and went to the NHA's office. I attempted to give the NHA a copy of the statement, and the NHA didn't take it from me. The NHA said that she had it handled. An interview was conducted with the NHA on 01/11/2024 at 5:58 p.m. to discuss the incident between Resident #32 and #90 and the investigation of the incident. The NHA said she first learned of the incident when Resident #32 called law enforcement on 11/21/2023 and the evening unit manager, Staff L, LPN called her.

F 0610 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety think to look further. I did not focus on the verbiage used when the grievance was documented because the residents said it did not happen. I don't know why they changed their story. Now I see how I should have investigated it further. I did not interview other staff or residents. I did not know she still had issues with that incident. A review of the facility's abuse log revealed Resident #164 made an allegation of abuse on 9/19/23. Residents Affected - Many During an interview on 01/10/24 at 12:16 p.m. the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) confirmed an allegation of abuse was made by Resident #164 on 09/19/23 and a federal report was completed. The resident reported his Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Staff R poisoned his coffee. The resident stated he witnessed the CNA remove his coffee and put an unknown substance in his coffee. An investigation was initiated. The NHA stated she could not find the statements she obtained from the CNA. She stated she spoke to the nurse who worked that day as well but could not find that statement either. A follow-up interview with the NHA on 01/10/24 at 12:38 p.m., revealed she misplaced the entire file related to Resident #164's abuse investigation to include witness statements. The NHA said Staff R, CNA was suspended for 5 days and education was conducted for all staff on Abuse and Neglect but no documentation of the training could be provided. Review of Resident #164's admission Record revealed he was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include muscle wasting and atrophy, epilepsy, unspecified dementia with agitation, and adult failure to thrive. The resident's admission Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 7, indicating severe cognitive impairment. The resident exhibited no signs of psychosis or behaviors. The resident had no new orders received on 9/19/23 following the allegation and no pain assessments completed. The admission record revealed the resident was discharged on 09/30/23 with no discharge location documented Review of the facility's abuse log revealed a resident to resident incident occurred on 11/21/23 involving Resident #32 and Resident #90. Review of Resident # 32's progress note, dated 11/21/2023 at 9:04 p.m., signed by Staff L, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), revealed, Resident reported that another resident touched her inappropriately. States that while at the smoking area on Saturday [11/18/23], a male resident approached her and asked her if she would like to be sexually harassed, she agreed to it thinking it was a joke and he went ahead and touched her breast. Review of Resident #32's most recent Quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS), dated [DATE], revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating the resident was cognitively intact. During an interview on 01/10/24 at 3:05 p.m. Resident #32 said Resident #90 came up and asked if I wanted to be sexually harassed. I thought he was joking and then he groped my breast. When asked if she thought the touch on her breast could have been an accident, Resident #32 replied, I never told anyone it was an accident. Resident #32 continued to describe the events and said, Staff I, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) overheard me say to Resident #90, there will be no more of that, and asked what I was talking about. Resident #32 reported she told Staff I, CNA about Resident #90 touching her breast. Staff I then came to my room and helped me write a grievance.

F 0610 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Many 11/21/2023, that the grievance had been lost. I became hysterical and called the police. The police came and talked to me. This was on 11/21/2023, four days after the incident, and four days after Staff I, CNA helped me write the grievance. When I called the police, I heard Resident #90 was immediately placed on 1:1 (one to one) supervision, but I heard he got caught with someone else and was put on 1:1 again. During an interview on 01/10/24 at 3:15 p.m., Staff I, CNA reported she remembered Resident #32 reporting the allegation of sexual abuse. She said she reported the incident but was not sure who she had reported it to. Staff I was aware law enforcement was called but was not present at the facility when law enforcement came. Staff I said Resident #90 was placed on 1:1 supervision immediately after she reported it. Resident #90 was taken off of the 1:1 supervision (date unknown) but was placed back on 1:1, maybe less than two weeks later. A follow-up interview was conducted with Staff I, CNA on 01/11/24 at 1:17 p.m. She recalled reporting the event with Residents #32 and #90 on a Saturday (11/18/21) to the weekend nurse supervisor, Staff N, Registered Nurse (RN). Staff I, CNA did not know if Staff N, RN called the Director of Nursing (DON) or the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) to report the event but remembered they wanted a statement. They had Resident #32 write the statement and Staff I, CNA signed under Resident #32's statement. The weekend supervisor (Staff N, RN) was sick the next day and I made a copy of the statement, but I can't find the copy. I slid the statement under the NHA's door on Sunday before I left the facility. On Monday, the NHA said the housekeeper must have swept up the statement because she did not see it. I came in that Tuesday, 11/21/2023 and went to the NHA's office. I attempted to give the NHA a copy of the statement, and the NHA didn't take it from me. The NHA said that she had it handled. An interview was conducted with the NHA on 01/11/2024 at 5:58 p.m. to discuss the incident between Resident #32 and #90 and the investigation of the incident. The NHA said she first learned of the incident when Resident #32 called law enforcement on 11/21/2023 and the evening unit manager, Staff L, LPN called her. The NHA said she came to the building and talked to both residents and staff but did not document any of the interviews. She said no staff witnessed the incident and neither resident involved remembered what date the event took place. Resident #32 did not report telling any other staff, so no other staff were interviewed. The NHA said she did not receive a written statement from Staff I, CNA. The NHA expressed that Resident #32 and Resident #90 stated this incident was consensual. The NHA said the 1:1 supervision was for a short period of time. When asked if Resident #32's call to 911 to report the event as a crime on 11/21/2023 indicated a consensual event took place for Resident #32, the NHA did not respond. On 01/11/24 at 1:15 p.m. a telephone call was made to Staff L, LPN who documented the report of abuse on 11/21/2023. Staff L, LPN did not answer and a message stating the phone number was not accepting messages received. Due to this, no voicemail could be left for a return call. On 01/11/24 at 1:36 p.m. a telephone call was placed to the weekend nurse supervisor/Staff N, RN related to Staff I, CNA's report to her of a sexual abuse allegation by Resident #32 on 11/18/23. A voicemail message was left but no return call was received prior to exiting the facility on 1/12/24. Review of Resident #90's progress note, dated 11/21/2023 at 8:38 p.m. and signed by Staff L, LPN revealed, this resident was reported by another resident of inappropriately touching her. Resident #90 stated that he accidentally brushed his hand against a female resident's breast. He explained that he jokingly asked the resident if she would like to be harassed, and she answered yes.

F 0610 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Many On 01/12/24 at 2:21 p.m. an attempt was made to contact Resident #100's RP but the voicemail was not set up to receive messages. During an interview on 1/9/24 at 5:58 p.m. the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO), who responded to the facility following the event on 12/26/2023, reported he interviewed Resident #100 about the incident and she stated that she consented, but for most of the interview her responses were inappropriate other than stating her name. He also reported that other staff at the facility told him the alleged perpetrator, Resident #90 had a previous history of this behavior but due to Resident #100's responses he was not able to take further action. During an interview with Resident #90 on 01/10/24 at 8:16 a.m. he was observed in bed with a staff member providing 1:1 supervision. Resident #90 said the incident from about a month ago was blown out of proportion and his side of the story was very different from the other person. He also said that he had someone with him 1:1 for a few days after that. When asked about the 1:1 today, he said that was permanent now, even though he doesn't agree with it, but he has no choice. He denied that any other interventions had been discussed with him or were attempted. He denied any involvement of his doctor, or discussion about or changes in medications or other treatments. Based on observation, interviews with residents, facility staff, resident representatives, the Clinical Manager of a dialysis facility, and the Medical Director, and review of policy and procedures, clinical records, training records and incident logs, it was determined the facility failed to identify, investigate, prevent, and take corrective action for the neglect of two (#308 and #106) of 12 residents reviewed for abuse and neglect. The facility failed to ensure wound care orders were implemented for Resident #308 and #106 resulting in the worsening of the wounds, and failed to investigate the cause of a fracture of unknown origin for one (#12) of 12 residents. The facility failed to ensure six (#6, #32, #36, #90, #100, and #164) residents with allegations of physical, verbal, psychological, psychosocial and sexual abuse out of 12 residents reviewed for abuse and neglect had investigations initiated, thorough investigations conducted, documentation of a thorough investigation maintained, protective measures implemented, and corrective actions taken to prevent further abuse. These systemic failures resulted in Immediate Jeopardy which began on 09/19/23 and was ongoing at the time of survey exit on 01/12/2024. Findings included: Cross reference: F600, F726, F835, and F867. A review of the facility's Abuse Prevention Program with an effective date of 2012 and a most recent change date of August 2022 revealed: POLICY: The facility has designated and implemented processes, which strive to reduce the risk of abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment and misappropriation of resident's property. These policies guide the identification, management and reporting of suspected, or alleged, abuse, neglect, mistreatment and exploitation. It is expected that these policies will assist the facility with reducing the risk of abuse, neglect, exploitation and misappropriation of resident's property through education of staff and residents, as well as early identification of staff burnout, or resident behavior which may increase the likelihood of such events.

Residents Affected - Few Findings included: Review of the admission Record for Resident #207 revealed an original admission date of 12/4/23 and a readmission date on 12/26/23 with diagnoses to include repeated falls, pain in right arm, hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side, unspecified lack of coordination, difficulty in walking, and unsteadiness on feet. Review of The Falls Management Program: A Quality Improvement Initiative for Nursing Facilities (https://www.ahrq.gov/patient-safety/settings/long-term-care/resource/injuries/fallspx/man2.html#:~:text=1.-,Evaluate%20an showed: Chapter 2. Fall Response 1. Evaluate and Monitor Resident for 72 Hours After the Fall Immediate evaluation by the nurse after a resident falls should include a review of the resident systems and description of injuries. Upon evaluation, the nurse should stabilize the resident and provide immediate treatment if necessary. Evaluation of the resident's condition before, during or immediately after the fall provides clues to possible causes. 6. Complete Falls Assessment In addition to the clues discovered during immediate resident evaluation and increased monitoring, the FMP (Falls Management Program) Falls Assessment is used for a more in-depth look at fall risk. Five areas of risk accepted in the literature as being associated with falls are included. Because the Falls Assessment will include referrals for further workup by the primary care provider or other health care professionals, contact with the appropriate persons should be made quickly.

Level of Harm - Actual harm During a telephone interview on 01/08/24 at 12:17 PM, the Responsible Party (RP) for Resident #308 stated Resident #308 was supposed to have a wound vac, but the facility was limited on electrical outlets. The RP stated he was concerned because an air mattress was plugged in, an oxygen concentrator, and other things. He stated that the facility needed to figure this out. He voiced concern that his wife would not be able to have the needed wound vac because of the lack of electrical outlets. Residents Affected - Few Review of the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) form 3008 Patient Transfer Form from the hospital back to the facility signed by the physician on 1/3/24 for readmission of Resident #308 to the facility on 1/4/24 revealed the resident had a stage 4 sacral wound and an x was marked in the box showing a wound vac treatment device was in use. This document was present in Resident #308's current clinical record. A review of the admission/readmission note dated 1/4/24 at 10:27 PM showed the sacrum/coccyx wound measurements were 12 cm x 8 cm x 5 cm along with several other wounds. No use of a wound vac was documented. An interview was conducted on 01/09/24, at approximately 8:51 AM, with the wound care team nurses which consisted of Staff G, Registered Nurse and [NAME] Side Unit Manager (RN/UM) and Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse and East Side Unit Manager (LPN/UM).

Staff G and Staff H reported Resident #308 had a wound vac in place when she originally transferred out to the hospital (prior to 11/29/23), but through the course of the hospitalization, it was removed and no orders related to the wound vac were received upon her return. Staff G and Staff H confirmed the wound vac was returned back to the facility when the resident was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] but not currently in use. Staff G and Staff H said the facility does not have a wound doctor, but they can refer residents out to the wound care clinic when needed. They said that this had been the plan for Resident #308 prior to her going to the hospital, but then the resident was sent out with an abdominal wall infection, which was not related to the pressure wound.

On 1/10/24 at approximately 12:05 PM, an observation of wound care for Resident #308 by Staff G, RN/UM and Staff H, LPN/UM was conducted. Staff H, LPN/UM, stood on the far side of the bed and Staff G, RN/UM, stood on the other side of the bed closest to the door. Staff G, assisted with turning the resident toward her. Observed at this time were two dressings, one white and clearly dated 1/09/24 located over the sacrum and the other on the left ischium. The left ischium dressing was a light brown color and had a date that was difficult to read but Staff H, verified the date as 1/9/24. The dressing over the left ischium was removed, and the packing material was removed from inside the wound. The wound was the size of a large orange. The dressing, and the packing material removed, were saturated with serosanguineous drainage. Staff H, used one of the pink vials of normal saline (NS) to flush the wound and 4x4 gauze to wipe the wound bed. She then used calcium alginate to pack the wound, wiped the edges with skin prep and applied a foam dressing. She then began treatment to the sacrum wound. She removed the old dressing and revealed a large grapefruit size open wound with a dark area noted at the bottom edge of the wound. The wound had a packing material that had a light green color saturating the gauze. No odors were noted at this time. The nurse removed her soiled gloves, sanitized her hands and went to the wound cart to obtain more pink vials of NS. She returned to the bedside, sanitized her hands and donned clean gloves. She then used the NS to saturate the wound bed and wipe dry with clean 4x4s. She used her left index finger to push the gauze deep into an area located above the wound moving up toward the resident's upper torso. She was able to insert her entire index finger into the area of the wound.

Staff H used additional calcium alginate to pack the rest of the wound, wiped the edges of the wound with skin prep and covered with a foam dressing. No wound vac was observed to be in use. The nurses were asked about the use of a wound vac, and they reported the resident was sent out to the hospital for about a month because her wound had increased in size but no orders for a wound vac were currently in place. On 1/11/24 at approximately 12:00 PM, a follow up interview was conducted with Staff G, RN/UM, and Staff H, LPN/UM, in the presence of the Director of Nursing (DON). They reported that Resident #308 was transferred to the hospital for evaluation on 11/29/23 because she had a fever of 104 degrees. Staff member H, reported that she had notified the Medical Director and explained to him that she felt the resident was septic, and that the resident's wounds had deteriorated in that last week. She stated that they were not sure why the wound had gotten so bad but thought it was because of the disease process. Staff H, LPN/UM clarified that neither she nor Staff G, were wound care nurses, but they were a part of the Interdisciplinary Team in charge of wound measurements and keeping track of wounds. They report to the IDT if there are issues identified during the weekly wound rounds. They stated that neither of them have specialized training in wound care. However Staff H, LPN/UM stated that when she first started in her role, a representative for a wound supply company would offer periodic trainings. They further reported that when Resident #308 came back from the hospital on 1/4/24 there were wet to dry dressings for her wounds and stated that the admitting nurse would have obtained these orders. Staff H stated that admission orders are obtained from the 3008 patient transfer form and there was not an order for the wound vac on the form. At this time, the 3008 signed by the physician on 1/3/24 for discharge to the facility on 1/4/2024 was obtained and presented to Staff G, Staff H, and the DON indicating a wound vac treatment device order was in place. The staff were also shown the note in the hospital discharge record dated 12/28/23 showing the plan was to continue with the wound vac. Staff H, stated the wound vac should have been continued and this had been missed by the admission nurse, herself and the person who conducted the 24 hour chart check following the resident's readmission on [DATE]. A review of the physician progress notes for the Medical Director revealed one progress note dated 9/9/23. The progress note provided no documentation of Resident #308's wounds nor did it make mention of any skin care or any skin conditions. The section for Derm had a circle noted around the words warm and dry. The note revealed [AGE] year old with a past medial history of CVA (Cerebral Vascular Accident), pneumonia, uropathy, DM (diabetes), anemia, seizures and CAD (Coronary Artery Disease). Wounds were not identified. No other progress notes could be located in the resident's clinical record. Review of the website What is a Vacuum-Assisted Wound Closure? retrieved from Vacuum-Assisted Wound Closure: How It Helps, When It's Used, and What to Expect (webmd.com) on 1/17/24 revealed that a Vacuum-assisted closure is a treatment that applies gentle suction to a wound to help it heal. The Wound Vac therapy promotes healing by removing excess fluid, reduces bacteria Infection is not only dangerous, but it can also keep the wound from healing. The body must focus on clearing the bacteria away from the wound and can't move on to the next stage of wound repair. Wound Vac therapy helps the body by removing some of the bacteria. This lowers your risk of wound infection and allows healing to move forward. And improves blood flow. Good perfusion, or blood flow, is needed to bring repair cells to the wound, take bacteria and dead cells away, and deliver oxygen to the area. During an interview with the Medical Director on 1/12/24 at approximately 3:05 PM, he stated the Unit Managers (UM's) and the DON were expected to be proactive in caring for the residents as the floor staff were too busy to review clinical status.

She said, I need to address that, I will make a care plan for the contractures and the ROM. Previously, there was a care plan for upper body contractures, under restorative .The CNAs should be completing it and documenting. Staff Q reviewed the missing documentation and said, I don't know why they are not doing it. On 01/11/24 at 5:36 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the NHA. The NHA said, I was not under the understanding that she had any splints. I was never aware. I was aware she needed to do the ROM but nothing about the splints. I do not know why there is no documentation for the month of January. I don't know if therapy stopped her restorative. I have to follow up. CNAs should be documenting the care. There should not be any gaps in the documentation. I will follow-up with therapy about her orders.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety During an interview on 01/11/2024, Staff B, DON (Director of Nursing) said the facility does not have competency for completing a head-to-toe assessment. Staff B, DON said Staff Z and Staff AA are LPNs (Licensed Practical Nurse) and based on their LPN license they should have come to the facility with skills to do a head-to-toe assessment. When asked if the facility completes any follow-up monitoring of nursing skills, she indicated just the annual skills fair completed in September, but it did not include head to toe assessment. Residents Affected - Many Staff Z/LPN's Hire Date is 08/07/2022. Staff AA/LPN's Hire Date is 08/15/2012. Review of personnel files revealed Staff Z, LPN had a new employee orientation checklist that did not include nursing skill assessment/evaluations or change in condition evaluation. Staff Z, LPN had no competency training in her personnel file. Review of Staff AA, LPN's personnel file revealed no competency training in her personnel file. During an interview on 01/11/2024 at 12:41 p.m., Staff H, LPN/Unit Manager East (110 and 200 Halls) and Staff G, RN(Registered Nurse)/Unit Manager [NAME] (300 and 400 Halls) said the Staffing Coordinator drafts the schedule and assigns the RNs and LPNs; the CNAs(Certified Nursing Assistant) select their assignment based on history and choice and familiarity with the resident on the hall. The Unit Managers will make staff assignment adjustments of staff on duty based on the needs of the residents. The facility uses Per Patient Day (PPD) to determine the number of staff assigned to work on each day and shift. The Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Staffing Coordinator/Central Supply determine how many staff need to be assigned per day to the facility. During an interview on 01/11/2024 at 2:19 p.m., Staff B, DON said Staff Z, LPN and Staff AA, LPN do not have orientation packets in their personnel files. Nursing annual training was completed in September 2023 for competencies. The training competencies provided in September were reviewed during the interview and none addressed the head-to-toe assessment/evaluation of residents. Staff B, DON said based on discussions during the survey the facility identified the need to develop and implement a competency for head-to-toe assessment/evaluation of residents. During an interview on 01/11/2024 at 4:31 p.m., the NHA and Staffing Coordinator/Central Supply said the facility has a staffing meeting every day at 11:00 a.m. to ensure the schedule is covered if we have any call offs. The Staffing Coordinator/Central Supply had her draft paper filled out based on the master and has scheduled day and she completed the day based on the master. When there are open shifts, we have a group chat she sends out to nursing and CNAs to make sure there is never a hole on the schedule and if there is a hole the NHA and nursing team, Unit Mangers, and Staff B, DON and the 3-11 Supervisor will make sure it is covered. We look at the resident acuity to determine staffing. To provide 1 one on one staff you have 2 additional staff. When they have one on one, they have regularly assigned staff cover if one on one staff needs to take a break. The acuity level for identified residents are discussed every time at the 11:00 a.m. meeting. When asked if the facility has a tool to assist them to identify what level of acuity is required for a resident, they indicated there is no tool used, it is based on nursing management staff knowledge of the residents. When asked if there was any training they had to identify a specific resident acuity level the NHA and Staffing Coordinator/Central Supply were not sure if there was a guide for accurate identification of a specific resident's acuity level/need. The NHA confirmed there was no current formal training or guide to identify a specific resident's acuity level.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Many On 01/11/24 at 10:44 a.m. the DON entered the conference room with a laptop computer and showed a copy of the Lippincott Manual 9th Edition, which was described to be the nursing procedure manual. When asked how often this is updated she said she thinks corporate loads the most recent version. The DON said she had not used this manual before and uses the competencies. When asked how staff are trained to access the material, she said she thinks the NHA tells them and is supposed to have a hard copy. The DON described that she had worked in the facility since January 2023 and was in the position of ADON (assistant director of nursing) from May 2023 until December 2023 when she was promoted to DON. When asked if she does the training, she said no, that is typically the ADON. She said competencies are on the company electronic portal and gave the example of showing new staff in orientation how to access the dress code. She said she had not shown nurses specifically how to access the portal. She was not sure if the nurses knew how to access the competencies on the portal. She described there was a schedule provided by corporate that she follows for new employee orientation. After the 3-day orientation they are sent on the floor to a nurse preceptor for 3 days. The DON did not know who the nurse preceptors were or if they are given training to be considered preceptors. When asked who the nurses can go to if they need clinical assistance, she said the manager and if she doesn't know an answer she will go to the regional consultant. The DON did not refer to the nursing procedure manual as a resource for clinical guidance. When asked how often nurses are required to demonstrate competency, the DON responded, Typically annually, but sometimes we do it more often. We had a skills fair in September. The DON confirmed the nurse and CNA annual competencies should be in the employee file. During the interview, a review of the employee file for Staff K, LPN revealed no annual competency and the orientation competency dated 08/2022 was signed by the employee, but the signature block for the training supervisor was blank. The DON confirmed there was no annual competency in the file. During the interview a review of the employee file of Staff L, LPN revealed no annual competency. Staff L's file contained a New Employee Orientation checklist signed by the employee on 7/19/2022. There was no signature for the employee services coordinator or the staff development person. A nursing administration orientation checklist dated 7/27/2022 was signed by the employee but no signature in the blank for the nursing administrator. The DON said, During the time that I was the ADON, I never was part of an annual competency. I don't remember being told that, but it might be in my job description. If I was told I needed to do an annual competency for everyone in the building, I would have done it, but I don't know. I'll ask if that was kept somewhere else. A review of the facility assessment included a date of completion as 09/27/2023. The facility assessment described the resident population as consisting of capacity of 120 residents, ages 25 - 85+ years old, including bariatric residents.

Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews, record reviews and review of job descriptions, the facility's administration failed to utilize resources to ensure adequate supervision to effectively implement a systematic process to carry out the facility's abuse policy for seven residents (#32, #90, #100, #6, #36, #12, #164), failed to ensure the facility staff provided care and services to prevent the worsening of wounds for two residents (#308 and #106), failed to ensure hot water temperatures were maintained at a comfortable level for residents on one hallway (Hall 100), and failed to ensure oversight of nurse competency training with the potential to affect a total census of 112 residents. Residents Affected - Many These systemic failures resulted in Immediate Jeopardy which began on 09/19/23 and was ongoing at the time of survey exit on 01/12/2024. Findings included: Cross reference to F584, F600, F610, F686, F726 and F867. During a survey conducted on 01/08/24 to 01/12/24 non-compliance was found for abuse and neglect for incidents/allegations to include resident to resident physical/sexual abuse (#32, #90, #100), staff to resident physical abuse (#6, #164), staff to resident verbal abuse (#36), and neglect resulting in worsening of wounds (#308, #106), and failure to investigate a fracture of unknown origin (#12). 1.

The NHA stated she could not find the statements she obtained from the CNA. She stated she spoke to the nurse who worked that day as well but could not find that statement either. A follow-up interview with the NHA on 01/10/24 at 12:38 p.m., revealed she misplaced the entire file related to Resident #164's abuse investigation to include witness statements. The NHA said Staff R, CNA was suspended for five days and education was conducted for all staff on Abuse and Neglect but no documentation of the training could be provided. 2. Resident #32 reported allegations of sexual abuse by another resident (#90) on 11/18/23.

During an interview on 01/10/24 at 3:05 p.m. Resident #32 said Resident #90 came up and asked if I wanted to be sexually harassed. I thought he was joking and then he groped my breast. When asked if she thought the touch on her breast could have been an accident, Resident #32 replied, I never told anyone it was an accident. Resident #32 continued to describe the events and said, Staff I, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) overheard me say to Resident #90, there will be no more of that, and asked what I was talking about. Resident #32 reported she told Staff I, CNA about Resident #90 touching her breast. Staff I then came to my room and helped me write a grievance. This was all reported to Staff I, CNA on the day it occurred, but I found out about four days after the incident, on 11/21/2023, that the grievance had been lost. I became hysterical and called the police. The police came and talked to me. This was on 11/21/2023, four days after the incident, and four days after Staff I, CNA helped me write the grievance. When I called the police, I heard Resident #90 was immediately placed on 1:1 (one to one) supervision, but I heard he got caught with someone else and was put on 1:1 again. An interview was conducted with the NHA on 01/11/2024 at 5:58 p.m. to discuss the incident between Resident #32 and #90 and the investigation of the incident. The NHA said she first learned of the incident when Resident #32 called law enforcement on 11/21/2023 and the evening unit manager, Staff L, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) called her. The NHA said she came to the building and talked to both residents and staff but did not document any of the interviews. She said no staff witnessed the incident and neither resident involved remembered what date the event took place. Resident #32 did not report telling any other staff, so no other staff were interviewed. The NHA said she did not receive a written statement from Staff I, CNA. The NHA expressed that Resident #32 and Resident #90 stated this incident was consensual. The NHA said the 1:1 supervision was for a short period of time. When asked if Resident #32's call to 911 to report the event as a crime on 11/21/2023 indicated a consensual event took place for Resident #32, the NHA did not respond. 3. Resident #36 was involved in a verbal abuse incident by a staff member on 12/23/23.

She stated the resident reported [Staff T] was rude to her when she took the fan back. The DON said, It was the way she took the fan. She [Staff T] told her she was taking it because it was not hers. She apparently told her to shut up. We questioned her [Resident #36] about the incident. It was a couple days after the grievance was documented. I went there with the SSD. Her other roommates were in the room. Resident #36 denied the abuse incident at that time. She did not say [Staff T] used choice words. I don't know why she changed her story. She had first reported the incident to [Staff R] the morning it happened. The DON stated she did not initiate abuse allegation for Resident #36 related to the 12/23/23 grievance because when she went to question the resident, she denied the abuse even though it was already documented. The DON stated she focused on the fan. The DON stated she did not talk to the resident privately. She stated she did not obtain witness statements from other residents or staff regarding the verbal abuse because the resident withdrew her statement. She stated, I don't know why she would have reported abuse and then withdrew it. I did not follow-up. I did not ask other staff about it. On 01/09/24 at 4:55 p.m., an interview was conducted with the NHA and the DON.

The NHA stated she did not have any witness statements. The DON stated she did not speak to the nurse who worked that night. She did not interview the roommates. The DON stated she did not document the resident's response related to denying that someone abused her verbally. She stated she did not document any of the interviews. She stated she did not know that she needed to document any of that information. The DON stated she did not know she needed to ask other staff or other residents about the verbal abuse allegations. The DON stated she did not follow-up with Staff R regarding the initial grievance submitted on 12/23/23 on Resident #36's behalf. A follow-up interview was conducted on 01/10/24 at 4:26 p.m. with the DON and the NHA. The DON said, At the time of my investigation they said it did not occur. I did not revisit the issue. I did not think to look further. I did not focus on the verbiage used when the grievance was documented because the residents said it did not happen. I don't know why they changed their story. Now I see how I should have investigated it further. I did not interview other staff or residents. I did not know she still had issues with that incident. 4. Resident #12 was involved in an allegation of possible neglect related to a failure to complete a full investigation following a possible fall with a fracture on 12/4/23.

He stated it showed Resident #12 had a BIMS 14 and she reported that she fell at the dialysis center. He stated the paper he was reviewing was undated. He confirmed Resident #12 was transferred out because her X-rays came back positive for a leg fracture. The RMC read a progress note dated 12/4/23 showing, the resident said nobody hurt her and no one abused her. He stated there were two notes from the nurse which read, On 12/4/23 resident alert, she complained of leg pain and pain medication given. Right leg was not swollen but she did complain when I moved it through ROM (range of motion). CNA made me aware she was complaining of pain in her right leg. A CNA report read, I was giving care to [Resident #12] when I moved her leg, she was in pain. I informed the nurse who was on duty. The RMC stated the NHA Investigation summary showed the resident's knee x-ray results showed fracture of right fibula and tibia. It showed the PCP (primary care physician), DON and NHA were notified. The NHA interviewed the patient and she denied anybody was abusing her. She admits to falling at dialysis center. Medical Doctor (MD) ordered transfer to the ED. She left a voice mail with patient's [family member] and was waiting for a call back. The RMC said, I cannot conclude what happened. I agree there is an incomplete investigation. On 01/12/24 12:48 p.m. The RNC stated, The NHA talked to the patient who has a BIMS of 14 there does not seem a reason why we would not trust that patient. I did not know she was blind. I do understand that the patient suffered a significant injury. She reported it happened at dialysis. I agree, there is no evidence that follow-up calls were made to figure out what happened. Further investigation should have been conducted. You are right, dialysis or dialysis company should have been contacted. I don't know if the incident was reported. 01/12/24 at 3:16 p.m. an interview was conducted with the facility's Medical Director (MD), who is also Resident #12's PCP. The MD stated he did not have any recollection of any recent injury reports that resulted in a hospitalization. He could not recollect a fall with injury for Resident #12 and stated I would know. The MD did not remember being notified. The MD stated if there was a significant injury, he would have expected to be notified. The MD said, I would remember if a resident had significant injuries. It should be documented if I had a follow-up visit. Review of physician notes showed Resident #12 was seen by the MD on 04/12/23, 04/26/23 and 09/09/23. There were no physician notes documented on or around the time of Resident #12's injury on 12/04/23 or after she returned from the hospital on [DATE]. 5.

No use of a wound vac was documented. An interview was conducted on 01/09/24, at approximately 8:51 a.m., with the wound care team nurses which consisted of Staff G, Registered Nurse and [NAME] Side Unit Manager (RN/UM) and Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse and East Side Unit Manager (LPN/UM). When asked about the wound vac for Resident #308, they stated they didn't have any orders on the 3008 Transfer Form when the resident returned from the hospital on [DATE]. Staff G and Staff H reported Resident #308 had a wound vac in place when she originally transferred out to the hospital (prior to 11/29/23), but through the course of the hospitalization, it was removed and no orders related to the wound vac were received upon her return. Staff G and Staff H confirmed the wound vac was returned back to the facility when the resident was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] but not currently in use. Staff G and Staff H said the facility does not have a wound doctor, but they can refer residents out to the wound care clinic when needed. They said this had been the plan for Resident #308 prior to her going to the hospital, but then the resident was sent out with an abdominal wall infection, which was not related to the pressure wound. Review of the general surgeon physician's progress note from the resident's most recent hospitalization dated 12/28/23 at 4:54 p.m., and retrieved from the resident's medical record in the facility revealed the following plan: -general surgery will sign off -please contact General surgery if patient needs debridement in the future otherwise we will continue wound VAC management per wound care team -follow-up with me as an outpatient. -okay to discharge patient standpoint and follow up as an outpatient.

Staff H used additional calcium alginate to pack the rest of the wound, wiped the edges of the wound with skin prep and covered with a foam dressing. No wound vac was observed to be in use. The nurses were asked about the use of a wound vac, and they reported the resident was sent out to the hospital for about a month because her wound had increased in size but no orders for a wound vac were currently in place. On 1/11/24 at approximately 12:00 p.m. a follow up interview was conducted with Staff G, RN/UM, and Staff H, LPN/UM, in the presence of the Director of Nursing (DON). They reported that Resident #308 was transferred to the hospital for evaluation on 11/29/23 because she had a fever of 104 degrees. Staff H reported she had notified the Medical Director and explained to him that she felt the resident was septic, and that the resident's wounds had deteriorated in that last week. She stated they were not sure why the wound had gotten so bad but thought it was because of the disease process. Staff H, LPN/UM clarified that neither she nor Staff G were wound care nurses, but they were a part of the Interdisciplinary Team in charge of wound measurements and keeping track of wounds. They report to the IDT if there are issues identified during the weekly wound rounds. They stated that neither of them have specialized training in wound care. However Staff H, LPN/UM stated that when she first started in her role, a representative for a wound supply company would offer periodic trainings. They further reported that when Resident #308 came back from the hospital on 1/4/24 there were wet to dry dressings for her wounds and stated that the admitting nurse would have obtained these orders. Staff H stated that admission orders are obtained from the 3008 patient transfer form and there was not an order for the wound vac on the form. At this time, the 3008 signed by the physician on 1/3/24 for discharge to the facility on 1/4/2024 was obtained and presented to Staff G, Staff H, and the DON indicating a wound vac treatment device order was in place. The staff were also shown the note in the hospital discharge record dated 12/28/23 showing the plan was to continue with the wound vac. Staff H, stated the wound vac should have been continued and this had been missed by the admission nurse, herself and the person who conducted the 24 hour chart check following the resident's readmission on [DATE]. A review of the physician progress notes for the Medical Director revealed one progress note dated 9/9/23. The progress note provided no documentation of Resident #308's wounds nor did it make mention of any skin care or any skin conditions. The section for Derm had a circle noted around the words warm and dry. The note revealed [AGE] year old with a past medial history of CVA (Cerebral Vascular Accident), pneumonia, uropathy, DM (diabetes), anemia, seizures and CAD (Coronary Artery Disease).

At this time Staff G and H were asked if it was appropriate to accept a resident for admission when you could not provide the ordered care and they stated they would not have known the wound vac was for that specific wound until after the resident arrived. They offered the wound vac is used to create negative pressure in a wound, stimulates granulation of tissue and helps with drainage. They then verified that not using the wound vac put the resident as a greater risk for infection, and the resident was transferred to the ER (emergency room) for a possible wound infection but stated they never received confirmation of an infection. During an interview with the Medical Director on 1/12/24 at approximately 3:05 p.m. he stated the Unit Managers (UMs) and the DON were expected to be proactive in caring for the residents as the floor staff were too busy to review clinical status. He verified that Staff H, LPN/UM does all the wound care and would notify him if a wound was getting worse. He clarified that nursing communication needed to be proactive and not reactive. He stated that he sees all short-term rehabilitation residents weekly; however, only sees the long-term residents when the DON advises him there is a concern. He stated he was not involved in the admission process as it goes through nursing and stated that he would assume they would contact him if there was a concern. He referred back to Staff H, LPN/UM as the wound care nurse when asked about wound vacs.

During a survey conducted on 01/08/24 to 01/12/24 non-compliance was found for 9 of 12 residents reviewed for abuse and neglect. The incidents/allegations included resident to resident physical/sexual abuse (#32, #90, #100), staff to resident physical abuse (#6, #164), staff to resident verbal abuse (#36), and neglect resulting in worsening of wounds (#308, #106), and failure to investigate a fracture of unknown origin (#12). Review of records, interview with facility staff, family members, and the Medical Director revealed concerns with facility's reporting, investigation, protection, and implementation of safety/corrective processes to prevent further and future abuse and neglect from occurring. The facility placed all current residents (census: 112) at risk of serious injury and/or death due to the systemic failure to identify patterns of occurring abuse and neglect incidents/allegations and not initiating a PIP to address the on-going concerns, resulting in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy which began on 09/19/23 and was ongoing at the time of survey exit on 01/12/2024. Findings included: Cross reference F600, F610, F726 and F835. Review of a facility document presented by the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) revealed 57 reportable incidents of abuse and/or neglect had occurred since the last recertification survey completed on 1/27/2022. Review of the facility's survey history revealed a complaint survey was conducted on 5/23/2022 to 5/26/2022, which identified findings of Immediate Jeopardy at F600 related to resident neglect and F726 related to staff competency for failing to assess, identify resident changes in condition, carry out facility procedures, and administer prescribed treatments. A review of the facility's accepted plan of correction to correct and maintain compliance for F600 and F726 for the survey ending on 5/26/2022 revealed: The DON (Director of Nursing)/Designee educated staff on abuse, neglect, exploitation & misappropriation. The DON/designee educated clinical staff on frequent routine rounding including identification and reporting of concerns with a posttest to confirm understanding. The nurses were educated by the DON/designee on providing prescribed treatments per the provider orders when medications, treatments or interventions are scheduled and the importance of accuracy in documentation. The DON/designee will audit adherence to prescribed treatments by the nurses 3 times weekly in the morning clinical meeting. The audits will be presented to the QA&A (Quality Assurance and Assessment)committee for further recommendations for a period of three months or until substantial compliance is achieved.
