Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accommodate smoking needs and
preferences for 1 (Resident #470) of 2 reviewed for smoking, who required a specialized chair for transport
to the smoking area, which was not available, that prevented the resident from smoking. This failure caused
unnecessary anxiety to the resident, who was a long-term smoker, who required assistance from the facility
staff and specialized equipment to get to the designated smoking area.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Review of the facility policy for Resident Rights Effective November 2024 noted the facility strives to assure
that each resident has a dignified existence and self-determination (Self-determination is a set of concepts
and values that people with disabilities should have the freedom and support to decide how they live and
participate in the community)
Review of the facility policy for Smoking/Tobacco Use Effective October 2021, the facility permits smoking
and use of tobacco products in accordance with state-specific regulations .The objective of this policy and
procedure is not to discourage or restrict one's smoking privileges, but to promote safety for residents,
visitors, and employees. Page 2 - The Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and facility Interdisciplinary Team
(IDT) will determine the needs of the residents and establish smoking times . Page 3 - Provide the smoker
with assistance and safety devices indicated. Page 4 - Stop Smoking Assistance: Obtain an order from the
physician for the use of specific stop smoking assistance techniques and self-help programs (i.e., gum,
dermal patches, and oral medications).
Review of the Resident Handbook, page 20: Smoking is not permitted inside the facility. Smoking is
permitted in the facility's designated smoking areas but only at posted times and under staff supervision.
The admission Data Collection and Baseline Care Plan revealed Resident #470 was transferred from
another skilled nursing facility and arrived at the facility on 2/5/25 at 5:25 p.m. Diagnoses included right
cerebrovascular accident (CVA) with left side affected hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and depression.
Resident 470 was oriented to person, place, time and current year and was at the facility for long term care.
The Data Collection and Baseline Care Plan revealed Resident #470 smoked and used cigarettes.
Resident #470 was not interested in a smoking cessation program.
Resident #470's care plan initiated 2/5/25 revealed the resident was a current smoker. Interventions
included informing the resident of the smoking policy, informing of designated smoking areas and time, and
smoking materials kept by facility staff.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 2/9/25 11:03 a.m., observation of Resident #470 in the bed in the resident's room revealed left sided
tightness of the left elbow and hand. The left elbow was bent, and the left hand was drawn to the resident's
chest and tightly closed. The resident's left leg was bent and drawn up to the hip area. The resident said
she was admitted on [DATE] and her power scooter did not arrive with her. The resident said because of her
contractures (a condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to
deformity and rigidity of joints.) she requires a specialized chair to be transported to the smoking area. She
said she told the nurse and several other staff. They told her the chair was coming. She said the chair has
not arrived and she has not been able to leave the bedroom. The resident said someone came in to
complete the smoking evaluation, but they left and did not come back. Resident #470 said she was going
through withdrawal, was miserable. The resident began to cry.
Residents Affected - Few

and the reason she was here at the facility. She said she did not hear of any problems the resident was
having.
On 2/10/25 at 4:10 p.m., in an interview Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff W said Resident #470
needed a power chair but it was left at the other facility. Staff W said the resident was unable to smoke and
was just lying in bed because the facility did not have a chair for her. She said Resident #470 needed a
special high-back chair or Broda chair but the facility only had one and it was currently being used by
another resident.
On 2/10/25 at 5:06 p.m., in an interview the Rehabilitation Director said they were performing therapy
sessions in Resident #470's bedroom because the facility did not have the necessary equipment to
transport her out of the bedroom. The Therapy Director said the resident's contractures have been there for
years and she needed a special chair to accommodate her transport out of the bedroom. She said Unit
Manager LPN Staff M was aware of it.
On 2/10/25 at 5:35 p.m., in an interview Unit Manager Staff M said they were trying to find an appropriate
wheelchair for Resident #470 so she could get out of bed. She said she met with the resident on 2/6/25.
The resident told her she wanted to smoke. Staff M said they did not complete a smoking evaluation since
the resident could not leave her room to go smoke. She said the admissions coordinator called the previous
facility to arrange for pickup or delivery of the resident's specialized scooter. She said the provider offered
the nicotine patch, but the resident declined. Staff M said she did not know the provider's name.
On 2/10/25 at 5:57 p.m., in an interview the NHA said he was not aware Resident #470 needed a

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.
Based on observations, staff interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to provide a safe, sanitary, and
homelike environment as evidenced by dry wall damage in resident's rooms. Failure to identify and
complete needed repairs could cause safety and sanitary hazards to residents on Unit 1, which had
damage in 8 of 31 rooms.
The findings included:
On 2/9/25 during the initial tour of Unit 1's resident rooms: observation revealed the drywall and chair-rails
behind resident's beds in rooms 6, 9, 14, 18, 21, 35, 37 and 39 were damaged and chair-rails were on the
floor. Holes were observed in the dry walls next to the bathroom door in rooms 6, 9, 14, 21, and 39.
On 2/9/25 at 10:23 a.m., in an interview with Resident #55, he said the chair rail molding behind bed A and
B had been damaged and broken for the past several months. He said he told the staff about the drywall
damage in the room, but nothing had been done to repair the drywall damage and the missing chair rails
behind the beds in months.
The review of the Maintenance Director's Job Description stated they were responsible for the overall
maintenance of the facility and provided directions for all activities related to plan operations. Job duties and
responsibilities include but were not limited to minor repairs and supervision of the day-to-day repair,
improvement and preventive maintenance of the facility to ensure that machines continued to run smoothly,
building systems operated effectively, or the physical condition of the facility did not deteriorate.
Review of the Physical Environment policy and procedure, effective August 2024, stated a safe, clean,
comfortable, and home-life environment would be provided for each resident.
Review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Work Orders, with an effective date of April 2017, the
policy noted work orders outside of the service reports and equipment records are a mandatory means of
maintenance communication. Work orders should be used and completed with priority classification noted
by ether the department head or the Administrator.
On 2/12/25 at 11:44 a.m., in an interview with the Maintenance Director, he said he was hired as the
Maintenance Director 6 days ago. He was told the facility did not have a Maintenance Director for the past
several months. He said he was told the Regional Maintenance Director had overseen the continuous
maintenance of the facility during the time the facility did not have a full time Maintenance Director.
On 2/12/25 at 12:00 p.m., during the tour of residents' rooms on Unit 1, the Maintenance Director confirmed
the drywall and chair rails behind resident's beds in rooms 6, 9, 14, 18, 21, 35, 37 and 39 were damaged
and chair-rails were on the floor. He also confirmed there was dry wall damage and holes in the drywall
next to the bathroom door in rooms 6, 9, 14, 21, and 39.
The Maintenance Director said after reviewing the Work Orders in their maintenance computer program,
the damage he observed in rooms 6, 9, 14, 18. 21, 35, 37 and 39 were not documented on a Work Order in
their computer system as required. He said he was not told of the resident room damage

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
observation, review of the clinical record, and resident and staff interviews, the facility failed to develop a
care plan that described the resident's medical, physical, mental and psychosocial needs and preferences
and how the facility will assist in meeting these needs and preferences for 1 (Resident #83) of 28 care
plans reviewed. The failure to complete an accurate and individualized care plan has the potential to impact
the resident's quality of life and quality of care.
The findings included:
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #83 was a [AGE] year-old male with a readmission date of
11/8/24. Diagnoses for the resident included hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) and hemiparesis
(weakness of one side of the body) following cerebral vascular infarction, anxiety, major depressive
disorder, and muscle wasting.
The record indicated Resident #83 was on hospice services beginning 1/9/25.
A significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented the resident had a
limitation in range of motion (ROM) on both sides of the lower extremities and one side of the upper
extremity.
The MDS noted Resident #83's cognitive skills for daily decision making were intact.
The care plan initiated on 1/9/23 identified Resident #83 was dependent on staff for activities of daily living
(ADLs).
On 2/9/25 at 11:55 a.m., Resident #83 was observed in bed in a fetal position on his left side. He was noted
to hold his left hand in a tight fist and his knees were bent with his heels toward his buttocks. There were no
splinting devices or pillows in place to assist the resident with positioning. The resident said he was not able
to move his left hand or straighten his legs.
During observations on 2/10/25 at 10:01 a.m., and 2/11/25 at 2:14 p.m., Resident #83 was in bed with his
left hand in a fist position and his legs and knees drawn up toward his chest and his heels toward his
buttocks. He had no splints or positioning devices in place including pillows. Resident #83 said he could
move his right leg but when encouraged he was not able to move his leg.
On 2/10/25 at 4:35 p.m., in an interview the Director of Rehab said Resident #83 was now on hospice
services but had been on case load on and off through the years. The Director of Rehab said therapy had
tried all different types of splints and positioning devices for his legs. The resident said would say he was
going to wear it and then would refuse.
On 2/11/25 at 4:45 p.m., in an interview Registered Nurse (RN) Staff B said she looked in the residents
record and found no information regarding the use of splints, pillows etc., for Resident #83's legs
contractures. RN Staff B said, I have not been able to find anything that he refused care or splints. He does
refuse care all the time. But I did not find any documentation. I know, if it wasn't documented it wasn't done.

resident's contractures, and the lack of documentation or services for the management of resident #83's
contractures.
On 2/12/25 at 9:25 a.m., in an interview Care Plan Coordinator Staff I confirmed there was no care plan to
address the lower leg contractures for Resident #83. The Care Plan Coordinator said the loss of ROM in
the left hand was addressed but confirmed there were no interventions for the left hand including ROM,
splints, pillows. Staff I said the Resident #83 was on hospice services and did not receive therapy. Staff I
said, We have Interdisciplinary team meetings weekly and there was no mention regarding the presence or
care of the lower leg contractures.
On 2/12/25 at 10:08 a.m., in an interview Care Plan Coordinator Staff I said Resident #83 received therapy
on 11/8/24 after a return from the hospital and he was refusing it. She confirmed the therapy was dated for
one day only and was actually an evaluation the resident refused. She confirmed there was no additional
documentation of therapy for Resident #83.
On 2/12/25 at 10:15 a.m., in an interview RN Care Plan Coordinator Staff H said she completed the
Significant change MDS dated [DATE]. She said Resident #83 was not contracted like that when she saw
him for the significant change MDS. She said a limitation in ROM does not mean a contracture. She
observed the resident and he is contracted now. She confirmed the limited ROM or contracture was not
identified in the care plan.
On 2/12/25 at 10:43 a.m., in an interview the DON said the facility did not have a restorative program and
there was no documentation the direct care staff was educated to provide ROM, or splints to address the
resident's contractures.

pouring the water in her basin. For that reason, she said that she wanted to go to the hospital because they
would treat her better there, and she asked the nurse to have the supervisor to come into the room. The
nurse went and told the supervisor about the resident's request.

Review of the nursing progress notes and assessments from 1/9/25 at 11:00 p.m. through 1/10/25 at 6:50
a.m., failed to reveal documentation RN Staff X assessed Resident #66 when she requested to go to the
hospital.
On 1/10/25 at 11:48 a.m., a nursing progress note revealed the practitioner was at the facility, saw Resident
#66 and issued an order for the resident to be transfered to the hospital.
Review of the practitioner's late entry progress note dated 1/10/25 revealed Attempt at obtaining an IV
(intravenous) line were unsuccessful due to hypovolemia and hypotension due to multiple vomiting
episodes. Resident is not medically stable and requires hospitalization.
On 2/10/25 at 11:44 a.m., in an interview Resident #66 said the incident on 1/9/25 really bothered her. She
said on 1/9/25 she had been sick all day with nausea and vomiting.
On 1/10/25 at 2:30 a.m., after vomiting all day and vomiting several cups of water, she told Registered
Nurse (RN) Staff X she wanted to go to the hospital.
Resident #66 said RN Staff X said he could not call the doctor at 2:30 in the morning. She asked to see the
supervisor but the supervisor never came.
Later on the morning of 1/10/25, she told Unit Manager LPN Staff M she wanted to go to the hospital. Staff
M told her the practitioner would be at the facility in 30 minutes to see her. She said LPN Staff M took her
pulse and it was 135 beats per minute.
On 2/11/25 at 1:43 p.m., in an interview the Risk Manager said she was not aware of the incident involving
Resident #66 on 1/9/25 and 1/10/25 until today.
She interviewed the resident and RN Staff X. Staff X told her Resident #66 requested to go to the hospital,
but he did not contact the provider and did not transfer the resident to the hospital. The risk manager said
RN Staff X was suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.
The risk manager said RN Staff X that could have initiated the hospital transfer without a doctor's order. It is
similar to a resident calling 911 for themselves if they were at home.
Review of the facility's investigation initiated on 2/10/25 revealed Resident #66 signed a statement noting,
On the day I went to the hospital, around 2:30 a.m., I told (Staff X) I had chest pain and wanted to go to the
hospital. He gave me a pain pill and it didn't stay down. I was told the doctor said stay and will see me in the
morning. Around 10:30 - 11:00 a.m., a provider came to see me. She said if they couldn't start an
intravenous line (IV) they would send me to the hospital. They couldn't get the IV in, so I went to the
hospital. In the ambulance they couldn't start an IV. I went to (Hospital name). I didn't tell anyone except my
husband, and he was going to call the state.
Review of RN Staff X's hand-written witness statement dated 2/11/25 revealed, Resident was asking for
water. I gave the resident a cup of water. After a couple minutes, a CNA was passing by the resident's
room, and I heard the resident ask the CNA for water. I went into the resident's room and told her that I just
gave her water. However, the resident said she threw it up and wanted another cup. I went and got her
another cup of water, but that time I did not leave the room fully. I was hiding myself behind the curtain to
see what the resident was doing and I saw the resident poured the cup of water in her basin. I told her,
Okay, I see what's going on with the water. I will give you ice

chips instead. I went and gave her a cup of ice chips. The resident kept saying that she wanted to go to the
hospital. When I asked her to give me a reason or something to say to the provider, she said that they will
treat her better at the hospital because they will give her water there.
On 2/11/25 at 4:24 p.m., in an interview Unit Manager Staff M said on 1/10/25 in the morning, Resident #66
refused therapy. She went to see the resident in her room. Resident #66 was pale, sweating, and had an
abnormally fast heartbeat at 135 beats per minute (normal heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per
minute). She said she recognized it as an emergency and called the doctor. The doctor ordered Zofran
(used for nausea and vomiting). Resident #66 refused the Zofran. She wanted to go to the hospital. The
provider came to the facility and gave the order to send Resident #66 to the hospital.
On 2/11/25 at 4:56 p.m., Resident #66 said RN Staff X the night shift nurse told her she would be kicked off
the physician's service for going to the hospital too many times. She said it was scary at the facility, and she
wanted to go home.
On 2/12/25 at 1:24 p.m., in an interview Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff M said she inaccurately
documented the vital signs and transfer date on the 1/10/25 hospital transfer form. She obtained the vital
signs from 1/9/25, and those vital signs did not portray an accurate description of the resident at the
transfer time. Staff M said there was no nursing assessment for the night shift when the resident initially
requested hospital transfer. She said if the nurse was not going to call the doctor, he should have assessed
the resident and/or sent the resident to the hospital.
On 2/12/25 at 3:49 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) said she would expect RN Staff X to document a
nursing assessment during the night shift when the resident requested transfer to the hospital, but there
was nothing in the progress notes, vital signs log or evaluations. The DON said if Staff X was unwilling to
contact the physician and the nurse did not transfer the resident, the nurse should have documented that
everything was okay. The DON said Staff X was suspended pending the investigation outcome.
Review of the Hospital Progress note dated 1/13/25 at 6:40 a.m., noted Resident #66 presented to the
hospital with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea going on for two days. The resident was admitted for further
evaluation. A stool panel was positive for Salmonella (bacterial infection). Her IV went out and was unable
to find an IV per Emergency Medical Personnel . Central line was placed on 1/12. Was continued on IV
Amiodarone for rate control, continued hydration. Patient still with reasonable nausea and vomiting . Central
line was placed yesterday due to lack of access.
Review of the progress note Revealed Resident #66 returned to the facility on 1/20/25, 10 days after she
was transfered to the hospital.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, clinical record review, staff and resident interviews, and review of facility policy and procedure,
the facility failed to identify and provide the appropriate services and interventions for the management of
contractures and limitations in range of motion (ROM) for 1(resident #83) of 3 residents reviewed for
limitations in ROM. The failure to provide the necessary services and interventions has the potential to
cause pain and worsening of the contracture and loss of ROM.
The findings included:
The facility policy Restorative Nursing Programs and Guidelines (revised 10/17) documented The facility
provides Restorative Nursing Programs that involve interventions to improve or maintain the optimal
physical functioning. Contracture management and prevention.includes the provision of active and or

On 11/4/24 Resident #83 had a PT evaluation and refused services.
Residents Affected - Few
On 2/9/25 at 11:55 a.m., Resident #83 was observed in bed in a fetal position on his left side. He was noted
to hold his left hand in a tight fist and his knees were bent with his heels toward his buttocks. There were no
splinting devices or pillows in place to assist the resident with positioning. The resident said he was not able
to move his left hand or straighten his legs.
During random observation on 2/10/25 at 10:01 a.m., and 2/11/25 at 2:14 p.m., Resident #83 was in bed
with his left hand in a fist position and his legs and knees drawn up toward his chest and his heels toward
his buttocks. He has no splints or positioning devices in place including pillows. Resident #83 said he could
move his right leg but when encouraged he was not able to move his leg.
On 2/10/25 at 3:16 p.m., in an interview with Registered Nurse Unit Manager Staff E said Resident #83
refuses and does not tolerate anything for positioning not even pillows.
On 2/10/25 at 4:35 p.m., in an interview with the Director of Rehab said Resident #83 is now on hospice
services but was on case load on and off through the years. The Director of Rehab said therapy had tried
all different types of splints and positioning devices for his legs and he would say he was going to wear it
and then would refuse.
On 2/11/25 at 11:20 a.m., in an interview the hospice certified nursing assistant (CNA) said she visits twice
a week to provide showers/bed bath for the resident. She said, Resident #83 has never been physically
aggressive to her but he was very verbally combative, he will curse and yell and say don't touch me, get
out. Resident #83 was observed in bed and he was using the bed controls to put the head of the bed up
and down repeatedly. He was noted in the same position as previous observations with no positioning
devices. The CNA said I wash him, and I put a pillow between his legs because of the pressure. I don't
know if he keeps it on or not because I leave after I am done. I was not informed by the facility staff of any
splints or anything for him.
On 2/11/25 at 11:43 a.m., in an interview the Director of Rehab said Resident #83 was on hospice services
and is not followed by therapy unless there was a problem that needed to be addressed.
On 2/11/25 at 4:45 p.m., in an interview RN Staff B said she looked in the residents record and found no
information regarding the use of splints, pillows etc., for Resident #83's leg contractures. RN Staff B said I
have not been able to find anything that he refused care or splints. He does refuse care all the time. But I
did not find any documentation, I know, if it wasn't documented it wasn't done.
On 2/12/25 at 8:56 a.m., in an interview CNA Staff C said if a resident had a problem with ROM we tell the
nurse and the nurse lets therapy know. If they have a splint the directions would be on the inside of the
closet door.
On 2/12/25 at 9:08 a.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said she was unaware of the
resident's contractures, and the lack of documentation or services for the management of Resident #83's
contractures.
On 2/12/25 at 9:25 a.m., Care Plan Coordinator Staff I confirmed there was no care plan to address

the lower leg contractures for Resident #83. The Care Plan Coordinator said the loss of ROM in the left
hand was addressed but confirmed there were no interventions for the left hand including ROM, splints,
pillows. Staff I said the Resident #83 was on hospice services and did not receive therapy. Staff I said we
have interdisciplinary team meetings weekly and there was no mention regarding the presence or care of
the lower leg contractures.
Residents Affected - Few
On 2/12/25 at 9:41 a.m., in an interview CNA Staff A said she has worked at the facility for three years and
Resident #83 has had the left hand and both knee contractures since she started working at the facility. He
has not had any splints that I'm aware of. There were two positioning wedges located on top of the closet
and the CNA said we do use them when we position him.
On 2/12/25 at 10:08 a.m., in an interview Care Plan Coordinator Staff I said Resident #83 received therapy
on 11/8/24 after a return from the hospital and he was refusing it. She confirmed the therapy was dated for
1 day only and was actually an evaluation the resident refused. She confirmed there was no additional
documentation of therapy for Resident #83.
On 2/12/25 at 10:15 a.m., in an interview RN Care Plan Coordinator Staff H said she completed the
significant change MDS dated [DATE]. She said she observed the resident and Resident #83 was not
contracted like that when I saw him for the significant change MDS. She said a limitation in ROM does not
mean a contracture, but he is contracted now. She confirmed the limited ROM or contracture was not
identified in the care plan.
On 2/12/25 at 10:43 a.m., the DON confirmed the facility did not have a restorative program and there was
no documentation of education provided for the staff on ROM, contractures or splints.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record review, and staff interviews, the facility failed to provide appropriate care and services
to prevent urinary tract infection for 1 (Resident #107) of 2 residents reviewed with indwelling urinary
catheter.
The findings included:
Clinical record review revealed Resident #107 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had a
re-admission date of 1/23/25.
The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with a target date of 1/23/25 noted the resident was
rarely/never understood. Diagnoses included cerebral infarction, cerebral edema (swelling), compression of
the brain, obstructive uropathy (flow of urine is blocked in the urinary tract). Resident #107 had an
indwelling urinary catheter (catheter inserted into the bladder to drain urine).
The care plan initiated on 12/2/24 noted Resident #107 used a urinary catheter with risk for infection and/or
complications related to retention.
The goal was for early identification and treatment of UTI (urinary tract infection). The interventions included
but were not limited to:
Provide catheter care daily and as needed.
Review of the Interdisciplinary Team progress note dated 12/10/24 revealed Resident #107 was recently
started on antibiotics related to a complicated urinary tract infection with the addition of prophylactic
methenamine (anti-infective) due to history of recurrent urinary tract infections.
On 2/12/25 at 4:59 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff BB and CNA Staff CC were observed
providing incontinent care and catheter care to Resident #107. The Director of Nursing (DON) was in the
room observing.
A wash basin with soapy water was observed on the resident's over the bed table.
When asked about the soap used for catheter care, the DON said CNA Staff BB used the soap from the
hand soap dispenser in the bathroom.
CNA Staff BB donned gloves and used a washcloth with the soapy water. She wiped between the resident's
right and left thighs and outer labia from front to back.
CNA Staff BB used another washcloth with soapy water and wiped the resident's inner thighs.
She used another soapy washcloth and wiped the resident from back to front (rectal area to catheter
insertion site).
CNA Staff CC stopped her and instructed her to wash from front to back.

CNA Staff BB did not reply and turned the resident to her side. She said she was done with the catheter
care.
On 2/12/25 at 5:10 p.m., in an interview the DON said CNA Staff BB did a great job with the perineal care
and catheter care.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the facility's competency for Perineal Care/Catheter care revealed:
Female residents:
1. Applies a small amount of liquid soap to each wash cloth as it is being used.
2. Cleans in a downward motion from front to back.
3. Properly separates labia for procedure.
4. Changes water and repeats procedure to remove soap, changes gloves, washes hands and re-gloves.
5. Dries entire perineal area, using a blotting motion from front to back.
Catheter care Male and Female
For those residents with foley catheters: PCAs (Patient Care Assistants) may need additional wash cloths.
1. PCA uses a wash cloth for the cleaning with soap and rinsing with changed water.
2. Catheter is held with thumb and index finger where it exits the urethral meatus.
3. Catheter is cleansed downward from the meatus exit four inches.
On 2/12/25 at 5:15 p.m., the facility's perineal care, catheter care step by step list was reviewed with the
DON.
The DON said the CNAs did not provide perineal care or catheter care correctly which placed the resident
at risk for urinary tract infection. She verified CNA Staff BB did not follow the steps in the list for the catheter
care and perineal care.
Review of CNA Staff BB's competency review revealed on 4/25/24 CNA Staff BB completed a competency
related to performing female perineal care, and catheter care.
CNA Staff BB also attended an in-service on 1/6/25 on perineal care and catheter care, using the step by
step list.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
Based on observation, review of facility policy and procedure, record review and staff interview the facility
failed to follow physician's orders for an abdominal binder over a feeding tube for 1 (Resident #26) of 1
resident reviewed, to prevent pulling and accidental removal of the tube.
The findings included:
The facility policy Medication Administration General Guidelines documented The individual who
administers the medication, records the administration on the resident's MAR immediately following the
medication being given. If a scheduled medication is withheld, refused, the space provided on the front of
the MAR/TAR (treatment administration record) for that dosage administration is initialed and circled. An
explanatory note is entered.
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #26 had a readmission date of 1/28/25 with diagnoses
including dysphagia, need for assistance with personal care, delusional disorders, and obesity. The record
indicated the resident was Spanish speaking only.
A nursing progress note with a date of 1/30/25 documented SOC (standards of care) meeting today.
Resident readmitted to facility 2 days ago after hospitalization. Resident previously pulled her feeding tube
out and was reinserted during hospitalization. Abdominal binder in place for protection to be removed for
skin integrity checks and feeding tube care every shift. Will continue to monitor.

On 2/12/25 at 9:06 a.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said the IV dressings are changed
every seven days to prevent infection. The DON said the nurses did not follow physician's orders to change
the dressings for Resident #271 and #23. The DON said the expectation is the nurse signs off when a task
is completed and not prior to completing the task, in case the nurse does not get to the task because of
being side-tracked or forgetting to do it. She said the MARS for February 2024 for both Residents #271 and
#23 were incorrect. She said the nurses documented completion of dressing changes that were not done.

The Policy and Procedure provided by the facility for Barrier Precautions
Residents Affected - Some
with an effective date of April 2024 stated Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) refers to an infection control
intervention designed to reduce transmission or multi-drug-resistant organisms that employ targeted gown
and glove use during high contact resident activities. EBP are used in conjunction with standard
precautions and expand the use of PPE to donning of gown and gloves during high contact resident care
activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDROs (Multi Drug Resistant Organization) to staff
hands and clothing. EBP is indicated for residents with any of the following:
1.
Infection or colonization with a CDC (Center for Disease Control)-targeted multi-drug-resistant organism
when Contact Precautions do not otherwise apply or,
2.
Wounds and/or indwelling medical devices even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with
a multi-drug resistant organism.
