Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] (window bed) was observed with two thin grey colored fall floor mats. The mats were observed placed on the floor on either side of the bed and with the resident in bed. Both mats were observed tattered, ripped, torn, and gouged, leaving non cleanable surfaces, and with corners and edges sticking up, creating a fall/trip hazard. 2. Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] (window bed) was observed with one grey colored fall floor mat on the floor with ripped and torn edges, and areas that were not cleanable. Three corners of the mat were observed sticking up and creating a fall/trip hazard. There was another fall floor mat placed on the floor that was blue in color.

Staff E confirmed them' referred to the Maintenance Director. On 8/10/2022 at 12:44 p.m. an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), Maintenance Director (MD), and the Regional Administrator (RA) revealed they were made aware of the non-maintained fall floor mats prior to the interview. The MD confirmed the fall mats are under his department and it is his responsibility to either maintain or replace mats that are no longer useable or cleanable. The MD, along with the DON, explained that all staff who enter resident rooms would be responsible for the reporting of unmaintained and broken equipment to the MD by way of documenting in the Maintenance Log books, which were located at the nursing stations. The MD stated he reviews those logs daily and will work to repair and or replace equipment that was noted. The DON and the RA said they had noticed the unmaintained fall floor mats previously, approximately a month ago and had made requests to replace the ripped/torn, soiled mats. The RA indicated they had tried to place orders to various equipment companies but fall mats were hard to obtain. The DON and RA were unable to provide documentation of an order for new floor mats at the time of the interview. Further, the DON indicated the floor staff, who are in rooms daily, confirmed they have never reported these fall floor mats being in disrepair and with non-cleanable surfaces. The MD confirmed he did not have any documentation in the Maintenance Logs with relation to fall floor mats in disrepair. A follow up interview with the facility's Nursing Home Administrator on 8/10/2022 at 1:30 p.m. revealed he did not have any documentation to support fall floor mats were order recently. An e-mail communication provided by the DON on 08/10/2022 revealed follow-up for an order from one company, which included fall mats and was dated 06/23/2022. No additional attempts to obtain fall mats were provided.

Staff G stated to the resident, you can only smoke with your family. Resident #64 appeared frustrated with the response and frowned his face. Resident #64 said, my family will not be here until Thursday, that won't work. Review of an admission nursing evaluation dated 6/2/22 showed Resident #64's speech is clear, speaks English, is always understood, and usually understands others. The cognitive assessment showed Resident #64 is alert and oriented. Under preferences / routines, Resident #64's smoking preferences were not checked.

smoker. Stated she is aware records indicated the resident is a smoker. Stated the first few weeks the resident was very sick and was not seeking tobacco. Stated after he cleared out, he started asking to smoke. Stated a family member was notified and they come and take him outside to have his cigarette. The DON stated she does not like the residents smoking upfront. The DON said, we do not want that. The DON agreed it was not fair to the resident who comes in and out of confusion, has a dementia diagnosis, not to have his tobacco or to wait until a family member can take him outside. The DON stated they will have a care plan meeting to address his [Resident #64] smoking needs. On 08/09/22 at 04:06 p.m., an interview was conducted with the NHA. The NHA stated the facility was non-smoking and they do not have a policy. NHA was notified of a large [NAME]-[NAME] pot full of cigarette butts that was observed on the front area. The NHA stated the cigarette butts belonged to the families or visitors. The NHA stated some families chose to have a cigarette with their residents. The NHA stated there were two residents who smoke in the facility premises under the supervision of their families, Resident #64 and #26. The NHA was asked if these residents were care planned to smoke within the premises. The NHA stated the family members are violating their policy. The NHA stated he has a designated smoking area for staff who smoke. The NHA stated facility smoking areas should have approved fire receptacles for disposal of cigarette butts. The NHA said, I get it. The resident [#64] should not be keeping cigarettes in his room. I guess I have to give them a 30-day notice. NHA stated if anyone was to be smoking cigarettes, they should be at a designated area with approved receptacles. The NHA re-stated the facility was non-smoking. Review of an undated facility policy titled, [name of facility] care center smoking policy showed it is the policy of the center to ensure residents who smoke do so in the safest manner. In order to ensure residents safety, the following procedures must be met: 1. Residents who smoke will be assessed for safety regularly by center staff. Review of a facility policy titled, care - planning - interdisciplinary team, revised February 2014, showed the facility's care planning / interdisciplinary team is responsible for the development of an individualized comprehensive care plan for each resident.
