F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. Based on interviews and records review, the facility failed to treat in a dignified manner 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident #110). Residents Affected - Few The findings included: On 10/09/23 at 11:13 AM, Resident #110 said that she recently was admitted to the facility after undergoing hip surgery. Upon her admission to the facility, she had requested a commode, because the toilet seat in her room was too low, for her to use. Resident #110 said although different staff members promised to bring the commode, they did supply it. She reiterated that since the toilet bowl in her bathroom was too low and she could not use it, she ended up urinating on her sanitary briefs. She said that wearing a brief was not the primary problem, the main issue was that they did not provide the requested commode. That situation left her with no choice but to urinate on herself. Resident #110 ensued and stated that she had reported the issue to Employee (H) daily, last week or since her admission to the facility. Last Wednesday, 10/4/2023, Resident #110 said she spoke to Employee (H)'s Assistant, Employee (I), and Employee (I) told her that she would be moved to another room, because many residents would be discharged , however, as of 10/9/2023, she was still in the same room. Those events, she said makes me feel old, helpless like a piece of meat. The reason they did not move her from the room was because they said, there was no room available. The Social Worker (SW) reported on 10/10/23 at 2:15 PM, that she received an email from Employee (H) informing her that the resident had requested to be moved to a private room. She went and spoke to Resident #110 about her concerns that same morning to let her know that there would not be a bed available until Friday 10/13/2023. The SW also said that Resident #110 told her that she needed a commode in the room. The SW added that today was the first day she heard about her needing a commode in the room. So, she provided the commode to her today 10/10/23 at 11:44 AM. She also initiated a grievance about it. The SW also said that Resident #110 informed her that she had already discussed this matter with Employee (H) and Employee (I), but they did not do anything. The SW worker stated that she was aware that Resident #110 was waiting to be transferred to a private room the second day after her admission. During that waiting period about eight residents who were in private rooms were discharged . The SW also stated that she was not sure why the resident was not placed in one of those rooms, as she was promised. The Admissions Director (AD) said on 10/10/23 at 2:33 PM, that she was not the one who recruited the resident to come to this facility. She said that a Contractor was the person who first met with the resident. She said that she was on leave for a few days. When she returned, she met with the resident in her room.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few facility. She told the AD I know you give good care, that is why I am happy to be back. The AD said that she met with the Resident probably on the 5th of October. She said the resident did not make any request then. On 10/9/2023, I met with her and she told me when you have a private room in Cypress, I would like to move there. She said that Resident #110 did not make any other request. She did not ask her for a commode. She just wanted to move to Cypress because she was there before. I told her that when I find a private room, I will accommodate her, the SW said. On 10/10/23 at 2:48 PM, Employee (I) said that Resident #110 told her on the day of admission that she wanted a private room. She told Employee (I) that she did not get along with the roommate.

Employee (I) said that she relayed the information to the Contractor who recruited Resident #110 who, at that time, was acting as the admission Director. The Contractor said OKAY but, I am not sure what she did with that information. She said that the resident did not ask her for a commode or a recliner. I am not sure she spoke to the resident because she is mostly in the field. Employee (I) said that she told Resident #110 that residents leave the facility throughout the week, so it is likely that she could find another room. Employee (I) said that there were no private rooms available when she spoke to the Resident. An interview with the Consultant on 10/11/23 at 09:16 AM revealed that she spoke to the Resident at the hospital and did not make any promises, such as a private room. She said that knowing that there are but a few private rooms, she never promises or guarantees private room access to anyone, unless they need to be isolated. She said that she did not discuss recliner or commode with the resident. She said the need for a recliner or commode probably came after her admission to the facility. The interview with Employee (J) a Physical Therapist (PT) on 10/11/23 at 12:20 PM revealed that she had completed the initial PT assessment for the resident. Resident #110 had a fall and fractured her left Femur on 8/18/2023. She underwent surgery. On 9/27/2023 she fell at home and had a hip fracture revision. Resident #110 was admitted to the facility with partial 50% weight bearing. Resident #110 could not ambulate and required Moderate to Maximum assistance. Which meant that the resident required more than minimum assistance. Because she was non-weight bearing. She said that she did not discuss with the resident the need for using a commode. An interview with the Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) Employee (K) on 10/11/23 at 12:29 PM revealed that she had completed the initial OT assessment for the resident and had made the recommendation for a commode on 10/4/2023 for the resident. Employee K said that she attempted to provide the commode because her Manager was not available, but she could not find one. Employee (L) a Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA) informed on 10/11/23 at 12:34 PM, that on Friday the 5th of October 2023, she discussed Resident #110's need to use a commode with the Resident's Nurse. She said that she was not sure who the nurse was. Employee (L) said that she also discussed with the Maintenance Director on Monday 10/4/2023; yet, they did not provide the commode. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) showed that Resident #110 obtained a score of 15/15 on the brief interview for mental status (BIMS). This signifies that Resident #110's cognitive status was intact. She could make her needs known.
