F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. 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 conduct a medication self-administration assessment to ensure safety for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for self-administration of medications, out of a total sample of 59 residents, (#321). Residents Affected - Few Findings: Resident #321 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including a nondisplaced zone 1 fracture of the sacrum, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and depression. Review of the Medical Certification for Medicaid Long-Term Care Services and Patient Transfer Form (3008) dated 7/11/24 revealed the resident's mental cognitive status as alert, oriented, and followed instructions. On 7/15/24 at 03:19 PM, resident #321 was observed lying in bed with her son standing beside her. A 1.5-ounce Major Deep-sea Saline nasal moisturizing spray, Tylenol PM, Magnesium 400 milligrams (mg), and Cranberry extract 500 mg were on the resident's nightstand. Resident #321 stated she used the nasal spray in her nose because it got dry. On 7/15/24 at 3:26 PM, the resident's bedside table was observed with the primary care nurse, License Practical Nurse (LPN) A. She acknowledged the 1.5 ounces of Major Deep-sea Saline nasal moisturizing spray, Tylenol PM, Magnesium 400 mg, and Cranberry extract 500 mg were noted on the resident's nightstand. Resident #321's son stated he brought the nasal spray, Magnesium, Tylenol, and Cranberry to her in the hospital. A review of the resident's physician orders was conducted with LPN A, which revealed no orders for the Saline nasal spray, Tylenol PM, Magnesium, or Cranberry found on the resident's nightstand. The LPN explained for someone to self-administer medications, they must have a physician order and a self-administration evaluation completed. LPN A stated there was no order for self administration of the medications nor had a self-administration evaluation been completed for the resident. On 7/15/24 at 3:34 PM, the 300-500 Unit Manager stated if a resident was to self-administer medications, they had to have a physician's order. The Unit Manager explained nursing would have done a self-administration evaluation, and a care plan for self-administration of medication would have been initiated for the resident. Then the facility would provide the resident with a lock box to store the medication safely. The 300-500 Unit Manager acknowledged those protocols were not in place for resident #321.

F 0685 Assist a resident in gaining access to vision and hearing services. 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 ensure a resident had a timely appointment for vision care and services for 1 out of 2 residents reviewed for vision and hearing, of a total sample of 59 residents, (#156). Residents Affected - Few Findings: Resident #156 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from the hospital with diagnoses including hypoglycemia, adjustment disorder, anxiety disorder, and symbolic dysfunctions. Resident #156's Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with a reference date of 3/27/24 revealed the resident scored 15 out of 15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status exam which indicated he was not cognitively impaired. The MDS assessment indicated resident #156 had adequate vision and did not exhibit behavior symptoms or rejection of care necessary to achieve the resident's goals for health and well-being. Resident #156's Order Summary Report showed the resident had an order on 4/19/24 for Optometry/Ophthalmology as needed and an Ophthalmology Appointment order was placed on 7/17/24 for the date of 7/30/24. Review of resident #156's medical record revealed a care plan was initiated on 4/19/24 for impaired visual function related to double vision of the left eye with interventions that included arrange consultation with eye care practitioner as required.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to store raw foods (e.g., produce) in a manner to reduce the risk of contamination of ready-to-eat foods and failed to store other food items by sealing, labeling and dating when opened. The facility also failed to ensure dishes and flatware were cleaned and stored under sanitary conditions and equipment was clean and in safe working order. These issues had the potential to negatively affect the health of 154 of the 166 residents in the facility. Findings: On 07/15/24 at 9:55 AM, surveyors entered the kitchen for the initial tour accompanied by the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM). In the walk-in refrigerator, liquid was dripping from the refrigerator condenser onto raw produce including tomatoes, 6 vented plastic containers of strawberries, and other boxes of fresh produce. An approximately 18 inch by 18-inch puddle as well as most of the floor was wet. The CDM stated it was not sanitary to have liquid from a piece of equipment dripping onto food items, but she didn't have anywhere else to put the produce. The surveyors pointed out several other storage area options for the raw, ready-to-eat food items. An open, unsealed box of chocolate chips dated 6/03 were found in the walk-in refrigerator. The exterior of the box had circular spots of discoloration resembling mold on it. The CDM removed this box from the walk-in and stated their policy was to have all food items sealed, dated and discarded after 7 days of opening. The CDM also discarded six undated hardboiled eggs wrapped in plastic wrap. In the walk-in freezer, there were 2 boxes of opened, unsealed and undated hard/frozen food items; one was tilapia fish and the other, burgers. The CDM noted these 2 items were not stored properly and removed them to seal and date them. On a kitchen counter, an opened, unrefrigerated, half-full jar of jelly dated 6/04 was found and the CDM threw it away stating this did not follow their food storage policy. When the CDM ran the dish machine, the wash and rinse temperature dials did not move so their temperatures could not be verified. When she submerged a test strip into the dish machine liquid to measure the concentration of sanitizer, it appeared clear, indicating the amount of sanitizer running in the machine did not register to the minimum 50 points per million. The CDM stated she could not be sure how long the dish machine had been without working temperature dials or sanitizer. Paper products were then used at the next meal until the dish machine could be put into proper working order for cleaning and sanitizing. The nozzles on the juice dispenser were noted to have a dark, slimy film on them. The CDM stated it was obvious cleaning of the juice nozzles had been neglected. She removed both nozzles, with one of the nozzles being very difficult to remove and set them in a pan of hot water. A second visit to kitchen on 7/16/24 revealed the raw produce including the strawberries and tomatoes, were still stored with liquid from the walk-in refrigerator condenser dripping on them. This issue was pointed out as a concern to the facilities Manager-In-Training who verified the findings. The juice dispenser nozzle was found being stored in a large plastic bucket as it continually dripped. The morning cook stated a repair company had been called to fix it.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During a 3rd visit to the kitchen on 7/17/24, the District Manager verified the raw produce, including the strawberries and tomatoes, was still stored in the same spot under the condenser now with a sheet pan, approximately 1/2 high, placed on top of it. The shallow sheet pan was catching, and almost filled from, the dripping liquid. The surveyor expressed concern the shallow pan would soon be full and overflow onto the produce again. The District Manager agreed and stated he would take care of it. Residents Affected - Many On the 4th visit to the kitchen on 7/18/24, the pipes from the condenser had been defrosted and were no longer dripping. The produce was still located under the condenser, including one half-full container of strawberries. The District Manager acknowledged concern ov possible contamination of the food items and discarded the remaining strawberries. The food service department Food Storage policy dated 02/23 stated all foods would be appropriately stored in accordance with guidelines of the FDA food code and would be stored wrapped or in covered containers, labeled, and dated and arranged in a manner to prevent cross-contamination. The facility's food service department's equipment policy dated 09/17 indicated all equipment would be kept in proper working order and all food contact equipment would be cleaned and sanitized after every use.

On the 300/400/500 unit soiled utility room was not organized and the countertops and floors were noticeably dirty. The lid on 1 of 2 soiled laundry bins was open with exposed soiled linens, hand sanitizer on the wall was inaccessible, plastic storage bins used for isolation rooms still needed to be cleaned and sanitized, the handwashing sink drain had a thick layer of black colored film and was plugged with paper/debris which caused the sink to not drain properly. The handwashing sink in the utility room was obstructed by various items on and around the sink which included crutches, lift device battery, open sharps container, 2 flower vases, wheelchair rests, used resident continuous positive airway pressure machine, and other miscellaneous resident equipment items in unlabeled plastic bags. A few minutes later in the clean utility room on the 300/400/500 unit with the IP nurse the handwashing sink was dirty with black residue noted around the sink handle base the soap dispenser was broken and had no soap. The room was not organized and the countertops and floors were noticeably dirty. No garbage can was noted in the room for disposal of soiled paper towels or other trash. On 7/16/24 at 11:36 AM, an interview was conducted with the 300/400/500 Unit Manager (UM) and IP Nurse who validated all the concerns noted in the clean and soiled utility rooms. The UM added that the cleaning and restocking of handwashing supplies should be done by housekeeping staff at least daily for both clean and soiled utility rooms. The UM added the used resident equipment should be labeled once cleaned and put back into circulation by the nursing staff. The IP nurse verbalized the staff should always keep the soiled laundry bins closed to help reduce potential spread of infection from the presence of soiled/wet linens. On 07/16/24 at 11:45 AM, the soiled and clean utility rooms on the 200 unit were observed with the IP Nurse. The soiled utility room had 1 of 2 large bins overflowed with soiled/wet laundry which billowed over the top so the lid would not close.
