Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, staff interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure that one (#20) of 21 sampled residents was provided with linens to cover a mattress.
Findings included: On 03/15/21 at 10:58 AM, Resident#20 was observed to have four covers/blankets; however, the mattress was bare and had no sheet over it. The resident was alert but confused and unable to understand the surveyor's questions when asked about his missing linens. A review of Resident #20's clinical record revealed he had resided in the facility since 2018 and had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 10 (moderate cognitive impairment) according to the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE]. On 03/15/21 at 11:31 AM, a second observation was conducted. The resident was lying in bed with covers on but again, no linens were on the mattress. On 03/17/21 at 10:10 AM, an interview was conducted with the resident's Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Staff C, who was shaving the resident. She stated that Resident #20 had a specialized mattress and the air pressure would not allow for a fitted sheet to work. An interview was held with the Director of Nursing, DON, on 03/17/21 at 10:13 AM. The DON observed that Resident #20 was laying on a bare mattress. The DON reported that he should at least have a flat sheet on his bed. The DON stated I wasn't aware that sheets were not placed on his bed. I would expect at least a flat sheet on the mattress.

A review of an undated job description titled, Social Services Director under essential duties and responsibilities states that, the social services director coordinates grievance complaint process. A review of the facility grievance logs from December 2020 to March 2021 was conducted. The NHA stated the other records may be filed somewhere by the previous social worker. The December log showed one entry made on 12/1/20 with a follow- up dated 12/8/20. The January grievance log was marked no grievances received. The February log revealed a list of resident council concerns added on the same date 2/12/21, with all items marked as resolved satisfactorily, inconsistent with resident council meeting feedback. An interview was conducted with the NHA on 03/17/21 at 2.09 p.m. When asked how long it had been since the social worker position was vacated, the NHA stated that it has been since the first part of January and that they are still looking to fill the position. When asked who was filling in when Staff N was not in the building, the NHA answered, we are all pitching in. When asked how that was affecting the facility, the NHA stated she did not think the residents were affected. When asked how they are addressing grievances, the NHA stated that they have morning meetings where every department head reports if they are any grievances in their areas. The NHA was asked how she responds to the resident council concerns and if she meets with the residents. The NHA confirmed that she did not meet with the residents. The NHA explained that they have talked about that and are changing the process next month. When asked about the concern documented in resident council and discussed at the meeting about being inaccessible to residents, the NHA stated that she had an open-door policy but had a problem with some residents who just want to complain. A review of the resident handbook titled, Resident information and Reference guide, dated June 1, 2016, page 14 subject: Grievances and Complaints confirmed that the facility was not implementing their own policies and procedure. The policy states: it is the policy of the facility to support each resident's rights to voice grievances and to ensure that after a grievance has been received, the facility actively resolves the issue and communicates the resolution's progress to the resident and or resident's family in a timely manner. The administrator is ultimately responsible for the resolution of all grievances and /or complaints. Number #9 of the grievance section states that the resident council or family council are additional forums for voicing complaints and grievances and that these grievances will be acted upon in accordance with this policy. The facility's policy titled, Filing grievances/complaints revised August 2008 revealed that the NHA will review the (complaint) findings with the person filing the grievance and will make such reports orally within 10 working days of filing the grievance or complaint. The facility did not provide evidence of the review process or a written summary of the investigations as stated in their policy. A review of resident council meeting minutes, dated 12/2/20, under old business confirmed that the NHA did not follow through with a plan to meet with the residents monthly. Under old business, resolution to improve communication from NHA and DON states that; DON and NHA will meet with residents monthly on the third Thursday at 2:30 p.m. In a follow- up interview with the NHA on 03/17/121 at 2:09 p.m., the NHA stated that she tried to schedule a meeting with the residents and DON, but it did not work out. NHA said, it wasn't a positive experience.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview the facility failed to ensure one (#18) of 21 sampled residents had an accurately documented code status in the medical record.
Findings included: On [DATE] at 11:16 AM, a review of Resident #18's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) revealed the resident was identified as a full code. Further review revealed the resident had a signed Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order. A review of the facility's nurses' stations Full Code and DNR books revealed Resident #18 was identified by the facility as both a full code and Do Not Resuscitate (DNR), despite the documentation of the DNR order. An interview on [DATE] at 11:25 AM with Staff B, Registered Nurse (RN), revealed that to check a resident's code status she would look at the resident's EMR or the Full Code/DNR books. When asked to look for Resident #18's Advance Directive, Staff B referenced the resident's face sheet on the EMR and stated that she would perform CPR. On [DATE] at approximately 11:30 AM the Director of Nursing (DON) was informed of the conflicting information. The DON confirmed that Resident #18 should be a DNR and that they would perform a sweep on the entire facility's population for proper documentation of code status. A review of the quarterly ([DATE]) Minimal Data Set (MDS) revealed that the resident was unable to be evaluated for by a Brief Interview for Mental Stats (BIMS) indicating cognitive decline. A review of Resident #18's care plan dated [DATE] revealed the resident had the DNR status included in the care plan as the chosen advanced directive. A review of the facility's Do Not Resuscitate Order policy revealed, A Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order form must be completed and signed by the Attending Physician and resident (or resident's legal surrogate, as permitted by State Law) and placed in the front of the resident's medical record. Resident #18 had a DNR form signed by the healthcare representative and physician.

Residents Affected - Some
Findings included: During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 3/18/21 at 2:11 p.m., she stated she does not have Infection Control Preventionist credentials. The DON further stated one of the nurses, Staff Member Q, Registered Nurse (RN) had a certificate, but 'was not technically the ICP.' The DON offered to obtain a copy of the certificate but was unable to provide it. When asked who did staff education related to infection control, she stated that the previous Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) did but she left in December 2020 and the new ADON started at the facility one week ago. The DON stated she did spot-on education if she observed an issue. She further stated that the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) was the Department of Health contact. During an interview, on 3/18/21 at 3:00 p.m., the NHA identified the facility's Infection Control Preventionist as the DON, stating I believe. The NHA also indicated that the COVID-19 line listings were completed by the Human Resources Director (HRD). At 3/18/21 at 1:49 p.m., during an interview with the HRD, she said she did the COVID-19 line listing for staff and the resident line listings were completed by the NHA. She stated she added positive staff to the line listing after the facility's morning meeting. During an interview on 3/18/21 at 3:56 p.m., with the facility Medical Director, he said he recognized the ADON as the facility's ICP. A review of a facility-provided job description titled 'Infection Preventionist' and undated revealed the IP was responsible for the facility's activities aimed at preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) by ensuring that sources of infections are isolated to limit the spread of infectious organisms. The IP systematically collects, analyzes, and interprets health data in order to plan, implement, evaluate, and disseminate appropriate public health practices. The IP conducts educational and training activities for healthcare workers through instruction and dissemination of information on healthcare practices. The IP conducts rounds, discusses, and monitors infection prevention practices with staff members, collects infection data from departments, maintains records for each care of healthcare-associated infection, conducts outbreak investigation, trains staff members on implementation of infection prevention practices, investigates incidents of infections and reports such incidents to the appropriate person/department, and ensures availability of supplies required for infection prevention activities.
