Resident #58 was visibly seen from the facility hallway trying to sit on the toilet in the shared bathroom. It was also noted that there was a second outside alcove entrance door which also opens inward from the outside and which is capable of being closed for resident privacy, without disturbing the resident. Subsequently, 5 minutes later he was now seen by this Surveyor, sitting down on the toilet with his pants pulled down to his knees, and his body exposed sounding as if he were breathing heavy in an attempt to have a BM, with the door wide open, seen from hallway for a period of ten to fifteen minutes. Several staff members, to include his nurse Staff F, a Registered Nurse (RN), Staff G, a Certified Nursing Assistant, (CNA) and, an Occupational Therapist, all were observed walking by the resident's two (2) open doors, but making no attempts to either inform the resident that they would close the inside bathroom door nor any efforts to close the outside alcove door, to ensure his privacy and dignity. Photographic evidence was obtained.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. Based on interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to provide a leg band for an indwelling urinary catheter (Resident #52, Resident #55, Resident #202, and Resident #205). Residents Affected - Few The findings include: The facility policy titled Catheter Care, Urinary, taken from the Nursing Services Policy and Procedure Manual for Long-Term Care, revised September 2014, has steps describing the proper way to perform care. Step 18 states Secure Catheter utilizing a leg band. According to the American Journal of Nursing article, Techniques for Stabilizing Urinary Catheters. Stabilizing indwelling urinary catheters dramatically reduce adverse events such as accidental dislodgement as well as tissue trauma and inflammation induced by excessive traction of the tubing or drainage bag. 1. On 03/16/23 at 2:46 PM, an observation of urinary catheter care for Resident #55 was made of Staff E, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Staff E performed the care competently except for step 18 where she failed to secure the catheter as expected. The nurse indicated that hanging the catheter bag from a hook on the lower part of the bed frame was sufficient. 2. On 03/16/23 at 3:50 PM, an observation was made of Resident #202. The resident was sleeping in bed with an indwelling catheter attached to tubing and a drainage bag. The drainage bag was suspended from a hook on the bed frame. Resident #202 did not have a leg band or other device to stabilize the catheter tubing. 3. On 3/16/23 at 3:55 PM, an interview was conducted with Resident #205. Resident #205 stated he has a leg bag during the day, and he has two bands to keep the leg bag secure. Resident #205 stated at night the facility did not put a leg band on to hold the tubing in place they just hung the bag from the bed frame by a hook. 4. On 03/16/23 at 4:05 PM, an observation was made of Resident #52, who was sleeping in bed with an indwelling catheter attached to tubing and a drainage bag. The drainage bag was suspended from a hook on the bed frame, connected to the drainage bag. Resident #52 did not have a leg band or other device to stabilize the catheter tubing. 5. On 03/16/23 at 4:15 PM, an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) regarding the lack of leg bands for indwelling urinary catheters for the residents observed and interviewed. The DON was surprised that the nurse did not place a leg strap for Resident #55. The DON was concerned to learn there were four residents who did not have leg straps for indwelling urinary catheters. The DON stated that she knew that there were supplies for the leg straps. The DON stated she did not know why the nurses were not using the straps. The DON agreed that leg straps should always be used to stabilize indwelling urinary catheters.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of policy and procedure, observation, interview and record review, it was determined that the facility failed to provide Trauma Informed Care for 1 of 1 sampled residents, Resident #41. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Review of the facility policy and procedure Trauma Informed and Culturally Competent Care, revised 08/29/22, documented: Trauma Informed Care (TIC) is an approach to delivering care that involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of all types of trauma. A trauma-informed approach to care delivery recognizes the widespread impact and signs and symptoms of trauma in residents, and incorporates knowledge about trauma into care plans or trauma-informed approach. We believe that Trauma Informed Care should not only meet professional standards but are delivered using multi-disciplinary approaches which are culturally competent and account for individual experiences and preferences and address the needs of trauma survivors by minimizing triggers and/or re-traumatization .As a result, principles of trauma-informed care must be addressed and applied purposefully in our health care settings at Life space Policy for Trauma Survivors: 1. Trauma Survivors will receive culturally competent, trauma-informed care in accordance with professional standards and state and federal regulatory requirements .2. We will utilize a multi-pronged approach to identifying a resident's history of trauma as well as his or her cultural preferences .3. Thorough assessment and interdisciplinary care planning are essential to providing quality care and culturally competent services 4. It is important to be aware of the impact of culture and culture preferences in the provision of care, and development of the resident's individualized plan of care Resident #41 was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Dysphagia, Morbid Obesity, Peripheral Vascular Disease, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Osteoarthritis, Atrial Fibrillation, Chronic Kidney Disease, Atherosclerotic Heart Disease, Colostomy Status, Anxiety Disorder, Hypertension and Neuromuscular Dysfunction of the Bladder.

She proceeded to relay a series of multiple differing accounts, to include all of the following events: 1) About her childhood when she was escaping [NAME] and how she got displaced from her parents. She said that a lady helped her and returned her back to her parents, who had been residing in a concentration camp. She also showed the antique doll which she says she had during that time frame while she was going through these events. 2) She has no other family here in this Country and she is all alone; she also said that she had an Apple I-pad when she was first admitted to the facility in October 2022 (in which the resident stated that the previous Administrator provided the I-pad to her), until it broke. She went on to say that she was aware that her nephew took it with him to get repaired in [NAME], which she felt that the facility had. However, she added that she had never received it. Resident #41 elaborated the fact that she believed that the Ipad had been missing for about 3-4 months, when in fact, it was in [NAME] with her nephew getting repaired. Resident #41 explained that her nephew told her that he had a friend in Miami who mailed the Ipad from there to this facility, for her about 3 days ago. Resident #41 stated that she felt that the CNAs assigned to her a few days ago, had come into her room taunting her that the I-pad Mail package had actually came in, but she said they told her that they would not give it her. Resident indicated that they never told her what happened to it. 3) Resident #41 gave a brief account of how she was missing various jewelry items to include large sums of money upwards of maybe $800 or so.

(to include a possible Earthquake). Staff I explained how Resident #41 continued to speak at length about her childhood, how she escaped [NAME], got displaced from her parents, how a strange lady helped her and returned her back to her parents, who had been residing in a concentration camp. Staff I also indicated that Resident #41 showed her the [AGE] year old antique doll which she says she had with her during that time frame while she was going through these events. Finally, Staff I stated to this Surveyor that she did bring all of the above information to the Team, who in turn, informed her that they were already aware of this. An interview was conducted on 03/17/23 at 11:42 AM with the Social Services Director, in which she stated that she was recently made aware, just prior to this survey, that Resident #41 had voiced her experiences of Childhood Trauma/Holocaust Survivor.

F 0699 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few resident ever received any assessment regarding her history of trauma, nor were any triggers identified related to her childhood trauma, and she further acknowledged that, Resident #41was not care-planned for this; only for behaviors. Record review indicated that there was no documented evidence to show that Resident #41's care plan reflected a multi-disciplinary approach to address the issue of Trauma Informed Care subsequent to her re-admission to the facility in October 2022; it only addressed Resident #41's Behaviors. Further record review revealed that the facility was utilizing an Admit/Discharge Form which only included the following question written on the back of the form, Have you suffered any traumatic events? which would indicate there has not been any current formal system in place to address the resident's needs, with no indication as to exactly when it was implemented. The facility had not delivered care and services, nor utilized approaches, which were culturally-competent, to account for her experiences and preferences. Neither did the facility address the needs of this trauma survivor by recognizing triggers and/or minimizing re-traumatization for this resident, subsequent to her re-admission to the facility in October 2022 During an interview conducted on 03/17/23 at 11:13 AM with the DON, in which she said that since the new regulation came into effect October 2022, the resident clinical assessment now has a section to assess for Trauma Informed Care, for all new admissions. However, she stated that the facility did not initiate Trauma Informed Care for Resident #41, subsequent to her re-admission in October 2022. The DON further recognized and acknowledged that on 03/17/23 at 10 AM, that Resident #41, a Holocaust Survivor, should have been receiving the necessary care and services to meet her needs.

Staff A gathered all the wound care supplies and all the staff members donned isolation gowns prior to entering Resident #27's room. The wound care was started at 8:35 AM. Staff D and Staff B removed Resident #27's pillows and turned her to her right side. Staff A removed Resident #27's incontinence brief and it was noted that she had a large amount of stool present. Staff B obtained incontinence wipes and gave them to Staff A. Staff A used the incontinence wipes to remove some of the stool from Resident #27's buttocks. However, it was noted by the surveyor that there was a fair amount of stool left on Resident #27's buttocks, visible under the tape of the sacral wound dressing. After washing her hands and changing her gloves, Staff A then removed the old wound dressing from Resident #27's buttocks, revealing the stool that had not been removed initially. Staff A performed wound care on Resident #27's sacral pressure ulcer without removing the remaining stool from the buttocks. Staff A removed the remaining stool with the incontinence wipes after the wound care was completed, before placing the new dressing over the wound. The remaining stool had the potential to contaminate the wound area, which has the potential to cause infection and impair healing.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and records review, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure the normal functioning of the Call Light System in 1 of 4 units (The Garden), to prevent confusion between the system dysfunctional status (emitting continuous beep) and alerts coming from Residents' activated call lights. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: On 03/14/23 at 09:51 AM, it was observed that the call light monitoring system panel, on the Garden Unit, was emitting a continuous audible sound. A look at the board revealed three distinct messages. It showed room [ROOM NUMBER] light was activated. At the same time, the board indicated that there were two lamps of the system that were faulty. Employee N who stood at the nursing station, in the unit (Garden), ignored or was oblivious to the beep/sounds, although the noise was disturbing. Soon after, a certified nursing assistant (CNA) was also observed coming by the nursing station, away from the location of room [ROOM NUMBER]. She too ignored the call light signal. A few minutes later, this writer walked over to room [ROOM NUMBER] and discovered that the call light was answered by another unidentified worker. The Resident informed that his issue was addressed. On 03/14/23 at 10:09 AM, this writer activated the call light in the bathroom of room [ROOM NUMBER]. After taken a picture of the board and waiting for a while, this writer asked Employee N who stood by the nursing station whether the call light was functional. Employee N replied, after taking a glimpse at the call light monitor, let me check the call light in room [ROOM NUMBER]. A few minutes later or at 10:13 AM, Employee N returned to the nursing station and said, let me call maintenance for them to check the system. During an interview with Employee O, one of the Maintenance Workers, on 03/14/23 at 10:27 AM, he reported that he returned to work yesterday or on 3/13/2023. Employee O informed that the call light system was not working properly before he left for his week-long vacation. He said that the code 8163 that was shown on the board meant that a light was out. He informed that they had contacted the company contracted to repair the system. A technician came to repair the issues, but he could not repair it. Duing an interview with the DON on 03/14/23 at 3:58 PM, she said that the construction workers had done something to the call light system causing it to beep, but the beep was not related to an issue with any specific room. She said that the staff at Poinciana had explained to her that the continuous sound of the call light system was not coming from a room, but it was another issue which she had discussed with Maintenance. Consequently, she acknowledged that she did not conduct any education with the nursing staff on being proactive and more alert in detecting the sound produced by the residents' activated call light and that of the dysfunctional call light system panel. The facility's Executive Director (ED) said on 03/15/23 at 9:44 AM that they have a contract with a company to replace the entire call light system. He said that a technician from that company came to the facility last night, on 3/14/2023, but he could not locate the cause of the call light beeping and which light bulb they had to replace.
