**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure one resident (#193) out of eleven
sampled residents who had intellectual and or developmental disabilities, was dressed in a dignified
manner during two days (6/27/22 and 6/28/22) of four days observed while in the LS1 [NAME] Secured
unit. It was observed staff did not intervene to assist Resident #193 who disrobed and was standing out in
the hallways for long periods of time.
Findings included:
On 6/27/2022 at 9:30 a.m. an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing
(DON) revealed the LS1 [NAME] unit is a Secured Unit, that houses thirty-two residents who either have
diagnosis of Dementia and or Alzheimer's. The Administrator and DON further indicated the residents in
that unit are in need of continual supervision and many who walk and wander throughout the unit and with
some going in and out from other resident rooms.
On 6/27/2022 at 11:30a.m. the LS1 [NAME] secured unit was entered for tour observations. The secured
unit was observed with residents who are ambulatory and walk up and down the hallways, who have
dementia and are not able to interview with relation to their care and services. Upon reaching resident
#193's room, she was observed standing in the middle of her room wearing a long-sleeved shirt and with
her pants pulled all the way down to her ankles. She was only observed with a brief on and also not
wearing any shoes or socks. Further, she started to shuffle towards the door. She was asked about her
pants and if she needed any help. Resident #193 could not answer appropriately as she was not
interviewable. Resident #193 resides in her room with two other residents. The bedroom door was observed
wide open with Resident #193, who could be observed unclothed by any other resident and/or staff
member that passes the room. The hallway was high trafficked with other residents walking at or near
Resident #193's room. There were no staff observed in the immediate area, but there were four male
residents observed walking up and down the hallway. At 11:50 a.m. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
Employee B. was observed to walk by the area and she was asked to come in the room to observe
Resident #193. She saw her and went into the room and closed the door and assisted Resident #193 with
re dressing. It was determined Resident #193 stood unclothed and within sight of everyone in the unit that
passes her room for at least twenty (20) minutes, before staff were found to assist her.
On 6/27/2022 at 1:50 p.m. the LS1 [NAME] Secured unit was again toured. Once entered from the double
locked doors, Resident #193 was standing in the hall between the entrance to the secured unit dining room
and the nurse station. She was observed wearing a blue colored long sleeved shirt and with no pants or
bottoms. She was observed wearing only a brief and also not wearing any socks or shoes. Resident #193
was exposed from her waist down. She did not appear wet from incontinence episodes.

Resident #193 shuffled towards the door; within four to five feet of Resident #193, there were five male
residents and one female resident either standing or walking by. There were no staff in the immediate area
during this observation from 1:50 p.m. through to 2:03 p.m. At 2:07 p.m. a staff member came out from
room [ROOM NUMBER]. The staff member was noted as CNA Employee B. Employee B. was asked if she
had Resident #193 on her assignment. She revealed that she did not but has had her on her assignment in
the past. Employee B. was shown that resident #193 was not clothed from her waist down and was out in
the main hallway next to the nurse station, and with residents surrounding her. She looked over at Resident
#193 and explained that she removes her clothes at times. CNA Employee B. explained that she could not
tend to Resident #193 at that immediate time because she was in another room trying to dress another
resident. Employee B. went back into another resident's room and closed the door behind her. Once she did
that, Resident #193 was still observed out in the main hallway with no clothing on from her waist down and
only wearing an adult brief. At 2:13 p.m. Employee B. came out of another resident's room and walked up to
Resident #193 and brought her to her room and then closed the door to clothe her. It was observed
Resident #193 was disrobed and exposed out in the main hallway with other residents, not wearing any
pants or shorts/underwear, and not wearing any socks and shoes, with only wearing a shirt and an adult
brief for at least twenty -three (23) minutes before staff intervened.
On 6/28/2022 at 7:30 a.m. Resident #193 was observed lying in bed and on her side facing the wall. The
linen was pulled down to her feet and she was observed with a long-sleeved shirt on but again not wearing
any bottoms. From the hallway, Resident #193 was observed with her entire bottom exposed and wearing
only an adult brief. Other residents were observed walking up and down the hallway, past Resident #193's
room. At 7:40 a.m. an interview with Resident #193's assigned 7-3 shift care aide Employee C. revealed
she floats all over the building but knows Resident #193. She was asked about the resident observed with
no bottoms on she expressed the resident disrobes at times but has never seen her out from her room with
no bottoms on. She revealed if residents are out in the hallways and not dressed, staff are to immediately
bring them back to their rooms and try to redirect them and redress them. She also expressed if residents
are in their rooms and in bed and not wearing appropriate clothing, they do try to shut the door so they
cannot be seen from the hallway. Employee C. explained that however, other residents in the room will
reopen the door. At 7:56 a.m. CNA employee C. walked by Resident #193's room and saw she was lying in
bed over her covers and with only wearing a shirt but with no bottoms and exposing her entire lower body
with wearing only an adult brief. The room door was all the way open. She entered the room and closed the
door to resituate and cover the resident. It was determined that Resident #193 could be seen in her room,
from the hallway, disrobed and exposed with no clothes on from her waist down, for at least twenty (20)
minutes before staff intervened.
On 6/30/2022 at 8:10 a.m. an interview with the LS1 [NAME] Secured Unit Manager revealed staff should
always be monitoring residents and to maintain dignity. She revealed the unit does have several residents
who disrobe and there should be staff to immediately redirect and or intervene, and to re dress or take to
their rooms. The Unit Manager confirmed the times when Resident #193 was observed out in the main
hallways not wearing any pants or underwear, all floor staff were either outside assisting with resident
smoking supervision or were in rooms providing care and services to other residents. She also confirmed
that she usually is seated at the nurse station throughout the day and she can see both halls. However, she
revealed she also worked in other units in the building.
On 6/30/2022 at 2:00 p.m. an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator revealed residents in the
secured unit should be monitored and supervised at all times and residents should not be in that unit
unrobed without staff in their immediate area to intervene or

Definitions:
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Physical Restraint refers to any manual method of physical or mechanical device, material, or equipment
attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily which restricts freedom
of movement or normal access to one's body. Physical restraints may include, but are not limited to:
Residents Affected - Few
Applying leg or arm restraints, hand mitts, soft ties, or vests that the resident cannot remove.
Using devices in conjunction with a chair, such as trays, tables, cushions, bars, or belts, that the resident
cannot remove and prevents the resident from rising.
Compliance Guidelines:
4. A physician's order alone is not sufficient to warrant the use of a physical restraint. The facility is
responsible for the appropriateness of the determination to use a restraint.
5. Before a resident is restrained, the facility will determine the presence of a specific medical symptom that
would require the use of restraints, and determine:
a. How the use of restraints would treat the medical symptom.
b. The length of time the restraint is anticipated to be used to treat the medical symptom, who may apply
the restraint, and the time and frequency that the restraint will be released.
c. The type of direct monitoring and supervision that will be provided during use of the restraint.
d. How the resident will request staff assistance and how his/her needs will be met while the restraint is in
place.
e. How to assist the resident in attaining or maintaining his or her practicable level of physical and
psychosocial well-being.
6. Medical symptoms warranting the use of restraints should be documented in the resident's medical
record. The resident's record needs to include documentation that less restrictive alternatives were
attempted to treat the medical symptom but were ineffective, ongoing re-evaluation of the need for the
restraint, and the effectiveness of the restraint in treating the medical symptom. The care plan should be
updated accordingly to include the development and implementation of interventions, to address any risks
related to the use of the restraint.

Resident #193 was standing and walking out in the main hallways disrobed and not wearing any clothing
on her lower part of her body, and with no staff supervision for long periods of time; 2. Failed to assure fall
floor mats were placed while residents #721, #670, and #184 were in bed.
Findings included:

(DON) revealed the LS1 [NAME] unit is a Secured Unit, that houses thirty-two residents who either have
diagnosis of Dementia and or Alzheimer's. The Administrator and DON further indicated the residents in
that unit are in need of continual supervision and many who walk and wander throughout the unit and with
some going in and out from other resident rooms.
On 6/27/2022 at 11:30a.m. the LS1 [NAME] secured unit was entered for tour observations. The secured

explained that she could not tend to Resident #193 at that immediate time because she was in another
room trying to dress another resident. Employee B. went back into another resident's room and closed the
door behind her. Once she did that, Resident #193 was still observed out in the main hallway with no
clothing on from her waist down and only wearing an adult brief. At 2:13 p.m. Employee B. came out of
another resident's room and walked up to Resident #193 and brought her to her room and then closed the
door to clothe her. It was observed Resident #193 was disrobed and exposed out in the main hallway with
other residents, not wearing any pants or shorts/underwear, and not wearing any socks and shoes, with

linen was pulled down to her feet and she was observed with a long sleeved shirt on but again not wearing
any bottoms. From the hallway, Resident #193 was observed with her entire bottom exposed and wearing
only an adult brief. Other residents were observed walking up and down the hallway, past Resident #193's

she floats all over the building but knows Resident #193. She was asked about the resident observed with
no bottoms on she expressed the resident disrobes at times but has never seen her out from her room with
no bottoms on. She revealed if residents are out in the hallways and not dressed, staff are to immediately
bring them back to their rooms and try to redirect them and redress them. She also expressed if residents
are in their rooms and in bed and not wearing appropriate clothing, they do try to shut the door so they
cannot be seen from the hallway. Employee C. explained that however, other residents in the room will
reopen the door. At 7:56 a.m. CNA employee C. walked by Resident #193's room and saw she was lying in
bed over her covers and with only wearing a shirt but with no bottoms, and exposing her entire lower body
with wearing only an adult brief. The room door was all the way open. She entered the room and closed the
door to resituate and cover the resident. It was determined that Resident #193 could be seen in her room,
from the hallway, disrobed and exposed with no clothes on from her waist down, for at least twenty (20)
minutes before staff intervened.
On 6/30/2022 at 8:10 a.m. an interview with the LS1 [NAME] Secured Unit Manager revealed staff should
always be monitoring residents and to maintain dignity. She revealed the unit does have several residents
who disrobe and there should be staff to immediately redirect and or intervene, and to re dress or take to
their rooms. The Unit Manager confirmed the times when Resident #193 was observed out in the main
hallways not wearing any pants or underwear, all floor staff were either outside assisting with resident
smoking supervision, or were in rooms providing care and services to other residents. She also confirmed
that she usually is seated a the nurse station throughout the day and she can see both halls. However, she
revealed she also worked in other units in the building.
On 6/30/2022 at 2:00 p.m. an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator revealed residents in the
secured unit should be monitored and supervised at all times and residents should not be in that unit
unrobed without staff in their immediate area to intervene or redirect. The Nursing Home Administrator did
confirm the Unit Manager, Employee A. does sit at the nurse station through the shift, and is able to see
both hallways seated at the nurse station, but also confirmed Employee A. for the past week or so, has also
been in charge of another unit outside of the Secured unit, and Unit Manager, Employee A. has had to pull
double duty at the same time with both the Secured Unit and another unit outside the Secured Unit. The
Nursing Home Administrator further confirmed the Secured Unit residents need to be supervised and
monitored all day and that she needs to make sure Employee A. stays and works only in that unit.

resident so the resident can transition back into the least restrictive environment.
Criteria for admission - admission criteria for SCU are, but not limited to, the following: (a) Resident has a
diagnosis of Dementia and/or mental health related disorders including behavioral problems related to a
psychiatric diagnosis; (b) Residents with cognitive disorders associated with traumatic brain injuries,
intellectual disabilities, or chronic mental illness may have needs that cannot be met in this setting but will

of a physician, the Social Service Director, and a registered nurse. The resident's family or advocate will be
encouraged to actively participate in the decision making process. However, the final decision is based on
meeting the resident's needs. If the resident does not have family, the Medical Director/Attending Physician,
along with the IDT, will make the decision based on the needs of the resident.
Commonly found (not all inclusive) diagnosis, disorders, and/or related problems are listed to help guide the
referral process: Dementia, Cognitive Disorders, Mood Disorders, Psychiatric Disorders.
Concerns to watch out for during transition period: Review for signs of increased behaviors, feeling of fear,
and need for reassurance. Change plan as necessary, Observe for and review with open census staff and
need for further 1 to 1 attendance at activities, dining, and smoking breaks. Change as necessary.
Make sure that staff is documenting resident's behavior every day.
Training requirements - In addition to the classroom instruction required in the CNA training program, each
CNA assigned to the Secured Unit shall have additional training. There must be documentation showing
that 100% of the staff working on the SCU have reviewed and signed the Secure Unit Covenant and has
received initial and annual in-service training which shall include but not limited to the following subject

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Review of the facility's Secure Unit (SCU) Covenant (not dated), revealed:
Residents Affected - Some
Behaviors should be seen as forms of communication. The SCU will typically experience more challenging
behaviors than in other parts of the facility. Stakeholders should view behaviors as forms of communication
and therefore, act as investigators to find the root cause of the behavior. Ensure that all basic needs have
been met such as hunger, temperature, pain, toileting needs met, etc. Challenging behaviors are symptoms
of disease process and should be respected as such. Resident behaviors should only be discussed only
with stakeholders who need to know about them and should be communicated respectfully.
Teamwork is imperative on all units but is especially critical on the SCU. Successful outcomes on the SCU
cannot be attained without teamwork. Stakeholders should make a point of getting to know all residents on
the unit including their likes, triggers and behavioral patterns. Monitoring the hallways should be a shared
responsibility amongst the SCU staff. The charge nurse is expected to be the team leader and put
processes in place to ensure that the hall runs smoothly and resident care and supervision exceeds
standards.

carts, two of six narcotics boxes, and prescription medication for three residents (#14, # 47, and # 49) and
one unknown resident and 2) ensure one of six refrigerators was at a proper temperature for medication
storage.
Findings include:
On 6/27/2022 at 10:50 a.m. the 1 [NAME] (Secured Unit) was entered for a tour. The nurses' station area
was observed with six residents standing up and ambulating in the hallways. There were four additional
residents seated in various chairs across from the nurse station as well. Residents in this unit are monitored
and supervised routinely and have cognitive inabilities where they cannot speak to their medical care and
daily routines.
At 11:00 a.m. the nurse station area was still observed with approximately 6-8 residents either standing at
and near the station or seated in chairs across from the station. There were no staff in the immediate area.
Further observations of the area revealed a clear plastic sleeve with a cracked in half tablet, orange in
color. Two residents were observed to walk over the tablet. Again, there were no staff in the immediate area
during first observation
At 11:06 a.m. an employee, Staff D, was observed pushing a cart full of supplies past the nurse station. She
stopped immediately where the sleeved tablet was and said, Oh, that should not be there. She picked up
the plastic sleeve and verified it was a tablet medication of some kind. She took the sleeved tablet and
looked around for a staff member. She went behind the nurse station and at that time a nurse walked up,
and Staff D told the nurse where she found the pill and proceeded to hand it to her. Photographic evidence
of where the pill was lying could not be taken, as there were too many residents in the immediate area
standing or walking past it. It was observed the sleeved tablet medication was lying on the floor, with no
staff around, and with many residents ambulating in the immediate area from at least 10:50 a.m. through to
11:06 a.m.
On 6/30/2022 at 7:15 a.m. an interview was conducted with Staff D. She revealed she had been trained and
in-serviced in relation to finding loose pills/medications and if found, will pick it up and hand it to the nurse.
Staff D. confirmed she did hand the pill to the nurse, but could not remember what the nurses name was, as
she works for a nursing agency.
An observation was conducted on 6/28/22 at 12:50 p.m. of a small side table in the 1 East back hallway,
next to room [ROOM NUMBER]. The top drawer of the cart was slightly open. Upon closer inspection it was
discovered the top drawer contained prescription medication including Nystatin power for Resident #47 and
#49 and Triamcinolone CRE 0.1% for Resident #14. The side table had no locks. Photographic evidence
obtained. Residents are frequently moving up and down this hallway walking or in their wheelchairs.
An observation was conducted on 6/28/22 at 3:35 PM of the side table still in the hallway with the same
unsecured medication.
