F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interviews the facility failed to ensure code status (type of emergent treatment a person would or would not want to receive if their heart or breathing were to stop) was identified and confirmed upon admission for two residents (#146, #144) out of four sampled residents. Findings included: Review of the medical record for Resident #144 was conducted on 09/06/22. The Resident Face Sheet revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] at 2:27 p.m. There were no orders entered in the medical record for code status and no advance directive documentation was found identifying code status. An interview was conducted with Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) on 09/06/22 at 3:35 p.m. She confirmed she was the assigned nurse for Resident #144. She reviewed the resident's electronic medical record (EMR) and confirmed no code status had been identified and no orders for code status had been entered in the record. She confirmed there should be a physician order entered for code status when a resident was admitted and said typically there would be an order and it would populate to the banner at the top of the record view in the EMR. She said the process for determining code status for a resident in an emergency was to consult the DNR (do not resuscitate) book and if a resident wasn't in the book, they were considered a full code (full resuscitation). Staff A said the facility process was that the admitting nurse was supposed to ensure code status was entered and ordered. She revealed a history and physical document from the resident's hospital record prior to admission where full code was documented and stated based on that she would immediately make an entry and order for full code in Resident #144's medical record. Follow up on 09/06/22 revealed full code was ordered and entered in Resident #144's record by Staff A. An interview was conducted on 09/6/22 at 3:50 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON). Findings related to Resident #144 were brought to her attention. Regarding facility process for identifying code status she said, What happens is everyone is full code until we have specific documentation otherwise. She confirmed it was the expectation that orders for code status should be entered by the admitting nurse during a resident's admitting process and said, Tomorrow we're having a class with the nurses on putting in new residents, things like code status and allergies, everything that needs to be done on admission. The DON identified that typically the facility social worker was responsible for confirming advance directives with residents at admission but stated the facility had not had a social worker for about a month. She stated Staff D, Marketing Director had been assisting with the social worker role including confirming code status.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 09/06/22 at 5:00 p.m. the DON provided the audit results for all residents of the facility related to advance directives and code status. She provided a copy of the audit dated 9/6/22 at 4:20 p.m. The review identified Resident #146 as having No Directives. Review of Resident #146's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] at 9:43 p.m. Active physician orders for September 2022 revealed a general order dated 8/7/22 for Code Status: FULL FYI (for your information) Only and a general order dated 09/06/22 for Code Status: Full. There were no other advance directive documents or documentation found in the record. An interview was conducted with Staff D, Marketing Director on 09/07/22 at 4:05 p.m. He confirmed he was the person in the facility responsible for confirming code status with residents when they were admitted . He revealed a consent form document titled Code Status and explained it was used with each resident and the process was for the resident to sign confirming their code status as either DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) or full code. He revealed a signed document for Resident #144 dated 09/07/22 and said the resident had admitted to the facility on a holiday weekend which is why it had not been completed when she was admitted . He said, I'm here Monday through Friday and said the form was completed with Resident #144 on 09/07/22 because it wasn't done. He said, I'm the only one right now that does this document. Staff D confirmed the document was not provided or completed for Resident #146 upon admission either and revealed he had completed, and resident had signed it that day (09/07/22). Staff D stated he had explained to Resident #146 the facility had missed doing it when he was admitted . Review of the consent forms for both residents revealed they had each signed the form and elected code status of full code. An interview was conducted on 09/07/22 at 1:29 p.m. with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), the DON, and the corporate Director of Clinical Reimbursement (DCR). Findings related to advance directives and code status were discussed. All agreed that a physician order for code status was required for every resident upon admission to the facility. The NHA stated the admissions staff completed an admission packet that included code status. Regarding facility process for ensuring code status and advance directives were not missed, the NHA stated there was a 72-hour post-admission meeting where the resident's care needs were reviewed and said, That 72-hour meeting is not happening. Review of facility policy titled, Advance Directives, revised December 2016 revealed: 1. Upon admission, the resident will be provided with written information concerning the right to refuse or accept medical or surgical treatment and to formulate an advance directive if he or she chooses to do so. 6. Prior to or upon admission of a resident, the Social Services Director or designee will inquire of the resident, his/her family members and/or his or her legal representative, about the existence of any written advance directives. 10. The plan of care for each resident will be consistent with his or her documented treatment preferences and/or advance directive. 20. The Director of Nursing Services or designee will notify the Attending Physician of advance directives so that appropriate orders can be documented in the resident's medical record and plan of care. 22. The Staff Development Coordinator will be responsible for scheduling advance directive training 105292 Page 2 of 15 105292 09/08/2022 Eagle Lake Nursing and Rehab Care Center 1100 66th St N Saint Petersburg, FL 33710
F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm classes for newly hired staff members as well as scheduling annual Advance Directive In-Service Training Programs to ensure that our staff remains informed about the residents' rights to formulate advance directives and facility policy governing such rights. Residents Affected - Few 105292 Page 3 of 15 105292 09/08/2022 Eagle Lake Nursing and Rehab Care Center 1100 66th St N Saint Petersburg, FL 33710
F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interviews the facility failed to ensure baseline care plans with the instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care according to professional standards of quality care were developed for two newly admitted residents (#147 and #144) out of four sampled residents. Findings included: A review of the medical record conducted on 09/06/22 for Resident #144 revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] at 2:27 p.m. There was no baseline care plan in her record. Review of the medical record for Resident #147 revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] at 5:00 p.m. There was no baseline care plan in his record. An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 09/06/22 at 3:50 p.m. She reviewed the medical record for Resident #144 and confirmed there was no baseline care plan. She said, What is supposed to happen there, is I do the observations and I do the 48-hour care plan .this one I am negligent on that, I'll admit that I did not get to it. An interview was conducted on 09/07/22 at 1:29 p.m. with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), the DON, and the corporate Director of Clinical Reimbursement (DCR). All parties confirmed it was a facility requirement that a baseline care plan be developed for all residents within 48 hours of admission to the facility. The medical record for Resident #147 was reviewed and all parties agreed there was no baseline care plan for the resident. The DON said it hadn't been done because it had been due while she was away on vacation. The DON said she was the primary responsible party in the facility for baseline care plan development and said, I'm doing 98.5 percent of them. Regarding any backup for the DON, attendees reported there was a unit manager, but they had been out sick, just returned recently, and weren't fully trained on how to do a care plan. Review of the facility policy titled, Care Plans and Care Plan Meetings, revised 10/4/18, revealed: Baseline Care Plan - A preliminary plan of care that includes the minimum healthcare information necessary and instructions will be started and the facility will enable the resident to be informed of and participate in the development and implementation of the care and treatment regimen which will provide effective and person-centered care to properly care for the resident that meets professional standards of quality care and meets the resident's immediate needs shall be developed for each resident. The baseline car plan summary must be provided to the resident and/or their representative (RR) between the 48th hour and completion of the comprehensive care plan, which can be no more that 21-days after admission. 1. The nursing staff will review the Attending Physician's orders (e.g., dietary needs, medications, and routine treatments, etc.) with the resident and representative, if applicable and collectively implement a care plan to meet the resident's immediate care needs. The nursing staff will ask that the resident sign the Baseline Care Plan to indicate that a summary of contents was shared with him/her and will share the collaborative plan with the Attending Physician. 2. The Baseline Care plan will be referred to and updated while the staff can conduct the 105292 Page 4 of 15 105292 09/08/2022 Eagle Lake Nursing and Rehab Care Center 1100 66th St N Saint Petersburg, FL 33710

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interview, facility policy and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident centered care plan was developed and implemented related to behavior monitoring for use of a psychotropic medication for one (Resident #39) of five residents sampled. Findings included: On 09/6/2022 at 9:41a.m., an observation was conducted of Resident #39 lying in bed, with Staff E, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) sitting in a chair next to Resident #39's bed performing a one on one (1:1). Staff E, CNA was interviewed and she revealed Resident #39 did not have any behaviors at the time. A review of Resident #39's Face Sheet indicated he was originally admitted on [DATE] and re-admitted [DATE] with multiple diagnoses to include vascular dementia with behavioral disturbance, alcohol abuse, anxiety disorder and Wernicke's Encephalopathy (degenerative brain disorder). A review of the Physician Order Report, dated 7/01/2022 - 09/08/2022, indicated Seroquel (Quetiapine) Tablet 50 Milligram (MG), One tablet given twice a day for Vascular Dementia with behavioral disturbance, dated 05/08/2022, with no end date. Resident #39 did not have a physician order to have behavior monitored with the administration of the medication daily and on each shift.

Active physician orders for September 2022 revealed the resident was receiving the following treatments: physical, occupational, and speech therapy; a mechanical soft diet; oxygen as needed; blood sugar monitoring; blood thinner medication; psychotropic medications. The Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) assessment completed on 8/17/22 revealed a score of 3 which meant the resident had severe cognitive impairment. The comprehensive care plan included only three care areas: nutrition related to swallowing problems (start date 08/24/22); infection related to COVID-19 infection (start date 08/17/22); participation in activities and leisure (start date 08/15/22). 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #146 revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident face sheet revealed diagnoses upon admission included recent cardiac surgery, bacterial infection, repeated falls, presence of cardiac pacemaker, urinary tract infection, low blood pressure, major depressive disorder, seizures. Active physician orders for September 2022 revealed the resident was receiving the following treatments: physical and occupational therapy; indwelling catheter care; medication for low blood pressure; medication for depression; antibiotic therapy.

An interview was conducted on 09/07/22 at 1:29 p.m. with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), the Director of Nursing (DON), and the corporate Director of Clinical Reimbursement (DCR). Regarding facility policy and expectation for comprehensive care plan development they all confirmed a comprehensive resident-centered care plan must be developed for every resident within 21 days of admission to the facility. The medical record for Resident #145 was reviewed with the group and the DCR confirmed 105292 Page 8 of 15 105292 09/08/2022 Eagle Lake Nursing and Rehab Care Center 1100 66th St N Saint Petersburg, FL 33710
F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few the comprehensive care plan was not fully developed. She said based on Resident #145's admission date she would expect the comprehensive care plan would have been developed by 08/30/22. She reviewed the three care areas that were developed and said, That is not complete. The medical record for Resident #146 was reviewed with the group and they confirmed only two care areas present and the care plan was missing components and not completed within the required timeframe. All parties confirmed the care plan should be comprehensive with a focus area for all of a resident's care needs. The DCR stated that development of the comprehensive care plan was an interdisciplinary team function. All parties confirmed they agreed with findings that comprehensive care plans were not being developed for facility residents and reported it was a problem that had been identified and that there had been a Quality Assurance Process Improvement action plan in place related to the problem for 15 months. Regarding facility process for identifying care planning needs or gaps, the NHA stated, we have a 72-hour meeting where we go over what their (residents) needs are, it's a review of the baseline care plan with the resident & representative. The NHA said, That 72-hour meeting is not happening, and said, We're not where we need to be with the care plans but we're working on it. Review of facility policy tiled, Care Plans and Care Plan Meetings, revised 10/4/18 revealed: 72-Hour Care Plan Meeting - An Initial Care Plan Meeting shall be scheduled with the resident and representative, if applicable preferably within the first seventy-two (72) hours after admission, to discuss billing, insurance coverage, co-pays, care plan development, physician's orders, diagnoses, dietary needs and preferences, choices, goals and discharge planning since summary was presented. 1.

F 0867 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop corrective plans of action. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review the facility failed to ensure implementation of an effective performance improvement action plan ongoing for 15 months related to care plans. Failures included not ensuring consistent audit process and not analyzing and tracking data from audits that were conducted to implement correction. This resulted in five residents (#144, #147, #39, #145, and #146) out of five residents sampled not having comprehensive care plans developed by the interdisciplinary team and within required timeframes. Findings included: 1. A review of the medical record conducted on 09/06/22 for Resident #144 revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] at 2:27 p.m. There was no baseline care plan in her record. 2.

F 0867 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Active physician orders for September 2022 revealed the resident was receiving the following treatments: physical, occupational, and speech therapy; a mechanical soft diet; oxygen as needed; blood sugar monitoring; blood thinner medication; psychotropic medications. The Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) assessment completed on 8/17/22 revealed a score of 3 which meant the resident had severe cognitive impairment. The comprehensive care plan included only three care areas: nutrition related to swallowing problems (start date 08/24/22); infection related to COVID-19 infection (start date 08/17/22); participation in activities and leisure (start date 08/15/22). 5. Review of the medical record for Resident #146 revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident face sheet revealed diagnoses upon admission included recent cardiac surgery, bacterial infection, repeated falls, presence of cardiac pacemaker, urinary tract infection, low blood pressure, major depressive disorder, seizures. Active physician orders for September 2022 revealed the resident was receiving the following treatments: physical and occupational therapy; indwelling catheter care; medication for low blood pressure; medication for depression; antibiotic therapy. The BIMS assessment completed on 08/12/22 revealed a score of 12 which meant the resident had moderate cognitive impairment. The comprehensive care plan included only two care areas: urinary incontinence and indwelling urinary catheter (start date 08/17/22); participation in activities and leisure (start date 08/08/22). An initial interview was conducted on 09/07/22 at 1:29 p.m. with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), the Director of Nursing (DON), and the corporate Director of Clinical Reimbursement (DCR) regarding findings. They confirmed findings and stated lack of care planning development and implementation was a problem that had been identified and there had been a Quality Assurance Process Improvement action plan in place for 15 months and was ongoing. The DCR stated the goal of the action plan was to ensure all facility residents had a comprehensive care plan developed. Regarding why after 15 months of an action plan the problem remained, the DCR stated turnover in staffing and staff being spread too thin was part of the problem. She said, We've tried a couple different things and they just haven't worked successfully . I know it's no excuse, staffing is crazy.
