This survey cited 10 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on clinical record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the MDS (Minimum data set) assessment accurately reflected falls and fractures for 1 (Resident #37) of 4 sampled residents with falls. Inaccurate MDS assessments can result in a resident not receiving appropriate health care. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Clinical Record review showed Resident #37 sustained a fall on 6/30/21 and was sent to the hospital for evaluation. The resident was diagnosed with a nasal fracture and subdural hematoma. Resident #37 returned to facility on 7/1/21, sustained a second fall on 7/2/21 and a new diagnosis of right knee fracture. The five-day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with a reference date of 7/5/21, and the significant change in status MDS assessment, with a reference date of 7/15/21, failed to identify the fall with major injury. Under section J1800 of the MDS asking if the resident had any falls since admission/entry or reentry or the prior assessment, whichever is more recent, the facility coded No. Under number of falls since admission or prior assessment - Major injury was also coded as No. On 12/2/21 at 9:03 a.m., in an interview the facility's MDS Coordinator, and the Regional MDS Coordinator acknowledged Resident #37's falls with injury were not coded as per the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) manual and the assessments were inaccurate. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

Failure to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan can lead to the resident's medical, physical, mental, and psychosocial needs not being met. The findings included: Review of Resident #24's clinical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. An admission comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 9/20/21 was completed and transmitted. Based on the assessment, care plan decisions were completed on 9/24/21 to proceed to care plan for areas of communication, risk for pressure ulcers, behaviors and psychotropic (drugs that affect a person's mental state) medication. The Registered Nurse (RN) MDS Coordinator certified and signed the care plans for Resident #24 were completed but the facility failed to develop a comprehensive and individualized care plan for Resident #24. Review of the MDS assessment dated [DATE] showed Resident #24 was coded for the following: Physical behavioral symptoms directed towards others (e.g., hitting, kicking, pushing, scratching, grabbing, abusing others sexually); Verbal behavioral symptoms directed towards others (e.g., threatening others, screaming at others, cursing at others); behaviors put the resident at significant risk for physical illness or injury and Significantly interfere with the resident's care and interfere with the resident's participation in activities or social interactions; rejection of care. Those behaviors listed above were noted daily during the look back period, but a behavior care plan was not in place with interventions for staff to use when the resident exhibited these behaviors. Resident #24 was prescribed an antidepressant daily for a diagnosis of depression. A Psychotropic medication care plan was not completed. Resident #24 had expressive and receptive communication impairment. The MDS noted Resident #24 was rarely or never understood for ability to express ideas and wants, considering both verbal and non-verbal expression. The MDS documented Resident #24 rarely or never understood verbal content, however able (with hearing aid or device if used). A Comprehensive care plan to ensure the resident's communication needs were met was not completed. On 12/2/21 at 9:45 a.m., in an interview with the Regional MDS Coordinator and the facility MDS Coordinator, the facility MDS Coordinator acknowledged the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for Resident #24 as required by regulation.

On 11/30/21 at 10:31 a.m., the shared bathroom for Resident #37 and Resident #52 was observed to have unmarked, unidentified personal care items being stored in an unsanitary manner. A resident's wash basin was being stored on the floor next to the toilet, a tube of skin protectant, bottle of periwash, and bottle of mouth rinse were on the sink. On 12/1/21 at 4:19 p.m., the unlabeled personal care items were observed being stored on top of the paper towel dispenser. 8. On 11/30/21 at 10:31 a.m., Resident #24's shared bathroom was observed to have unmarked unidentified personal care items being stored in an unsanitary manner. A toothbrush was lying on the top of the toilet tank with the bristles up against the wall along with a tube of toothpaste; an unmarked denture cup was on the sink; a bottle of periwash, mouthwash, skin protectant, were present and a can of hairspray was on the towel bar. On 12/1/21 at 4:19 p.m., the unidentified personal care items were still present including a comb being stored on the toilet tank along with the toothbrush. 9. On 11/29/21 during a tour of the facility, three of the side chairs in the living room of the Memory Care unit were observed to be in disrepair with the protective surface rubbed off creating uncleanable surfaces. The chairs were observed to be low to the ground with high arms, light weight, and easily moved. On 11/30/21 at 3:00 p.m., an incontinent pad was noted on one of the chairs. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff A was present during the observation and said because the chairs are so worn, if a resident is incontinent, urine will soak down into the cushion of the chair due to no barrier. The CNA said the chairs are difficult for residents to get up out of and easily move creating a fall hazard. On 12/2/21 at 5:15 p.m., the facility's Administrator acknowledged the concern with the chairs being in disrepair. Photographic evidence obtained Based on observations and staff interviews the facility failed to maintain/store resident personal care items in a sanitary manner to prevent potential cross contamination for 9 (Residents #11, #39, #48, #77, #86, #91, #24, #37, and #52) of 20 sampled residents.

F 0921 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few use the items for both residents if needed. They are low on supplies here. I have been to other places where they have the items bagged with the resident's name on the bag but not here. This is how I have seen it in every room here. I haven't seen any of the rooms with the items separated here. 2. On 11/29/21 at 11:15 a.m., the shared bathroom of Resident #48 and #39 was observed to have unlabeled, unidentified personal care hygiene items stored in an unsanitary manner. An opened bottle of total bath wash, a bottle of shaving cream, and two toothbrushes with the bristles against the sink were stored on the bathroom sink. Photographic evidence obtained The same observation was made on 11/30/21 at 10:07 a.m. On 12/01/21 at 9:40 a.m., the bottle of total bath wash, a bottle of shaving cream, and two toothbrushes remained stored on the sink. An unlabeled bottle of mouthwash was stored on the toilet tank. On 12/1/21 at 145 p.m., in an interview CNA, Staff L, caring for Residents #48 and #39 confirmed the residents' personal items were unlabeled and stored on the sink and on the toilet tank in the shared bathroom. When asked how she knew who the items belonged to, she said, I think they are [Resident #48's]. [Resident #39] keeps most of his stuff in his drawer. CNA, Staff L said, We don't have space to keep them separate in the bathroom. 3. On 12/1/21 at 12:05 p.m., observed Registered Nurse (RN) Staff N washing her hands in the sink of the shared bathroom of Resident #11 and #91. A partially filled bottle of total bath was observed stored on the sink. In an interview at the time of the observation RN Staff N said she did not know who the bottle of total wash belonged to. She said, I think they use it for both of them. They are both bed baths since they do not go to the showers. On 12/02/21 at 8:45 a.m., in an interview regarding policy for storage of residents' personal hygiene items Regional Registered Nurse (RN) said, We do not have a specific policy. It is expected that they maintain their hygiene items separately to maintain cleanliness. On 12/02/21 at 11:15 a.m., in an interview about storage of residents' personal hygiene items, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) unit manager Staff B said, They should be separate and bagged or in a bin labeled. After looking at the photographic evidence obtained from the shared bathrooms of residents #39, #48, #77, and #86, LPN Unit Manager Staff B said, We have been using a lot of agency staff, but they should know better. I am going to go room by room and throw away all of the items now and educate the staff. On 12/2/21 at 11:25 a.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said Residents' personal care items should be labeled and stored separately. After looking at the photographic evidence obtained from the shared bathroom of residents #39, #48, #77, and #86 the DON verified the personal care items were not stored in a sanitary manner and could be an infection control issue.
