F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. 3. In an interview on 4/12/21 at 9:50 a.m., Resident #77 said staff did not respond to his call bell in a timely manner and was a weak spot for the facility, especially on the weekends. The resident said on Saturday, he rang his bell and had to wait 45 minutes to receive care after an incontinent episode with both bowel and bladder. He said the nurse came in and confirmed his call light was functioning and said she would send someone in. He said the incident made him feel worthless as he is dependent on staff for care. Resident #77 said this was not the first time and had happened before. He said staff use the excuse as they were busy. He said this is a regular occurrence on the weekends and he usually has to wait an average of 30 minutes for assistance from staff. On 4/14/21 at 10:20 a.m., reviewed with the Director of Nursing (DON) the concern of Resident #77 not being treated in a dignified manner by waiting 45 minutes to receive incontinent care. The DON acknowledged that waiting for 30 to 45 minutes for the call bell to be answered was not acceptable and would address this with staff. Based on record review, review of facility policy, resident and staff interview, the facility failed to provide timely assistance in a manner to promote dignity for 3 (#492, #10, and #77) of 3 residents reviewed who are dependent on staff for activities of daily living.

Be treated courteously, fairly, and with the fullest measure of dignity. 1. Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #492 had an admission date of 3/29/21. The care plan noted the resident had alteration in neurological status and required cueing and reorientation as needed. Resident #492 also had self-care deficit related to a recent stroke with a goal to improve activities of daily living self-performance.

When asked about visitation he said when I was in the other room my wife could come to the driveway and we could wave at each other and talk on the phone, now in this room no luck, she isn't going to climb over bushes.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, clinical record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the MDS (Minimum data set) assessment accurately reflected the resident's urinary status for 1 (Resident #6) of 1 resident with an indwelling urinary catheter. Inaccurate MDS assessments can result in a resident not receiving appropriate health care. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: On 4/11/21 at 10:30 a.m., and 4/12/21 at 11:07 a.m., Resident #6 was observed with an indwelling urinary catheter (Catheter placed in the bladder to drain urine). The catheter was in a privacy bag attached to the side of the bed. Record review on 4/12/21 at 3:30 p.m., showed a quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE]. The assessment noted Resident #6 was always incontinent of urine but did not note the use of an indwelling urinary catheter. The clinical record did not include a care plan for the indwelling urinary catheter. On 04/13/21 at 9:17 a.m., in an interview Registered Nurse (RN) staff F said Resident #6 had a chronic catheter that is usually changed on the day shift. On 04/13/21 at 9:30 a.m., RN Staff M said he did not see any physician's orders for the Foley (indwelling urinary) in the resident's clinical record. On 04/13/21 at 9:32 a.m., in an interview MDS RN Staff N and MDS RN Staff O said they gather their information to code the MDS from all sources, they interview the residents, family members, staff, review progress notes and therapy notes. On 04/13/21 at 10:15 a.m., MDS RN Staff O said there was an order dated 8/17/20 to discontinue the catheter, but no other orders. She said, We did not know she had one.

F 0679 Provide activities to meet all resident's needs. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, resident and staff interview, the facility failed to implement meaningful resident centered activities to meet the interest and well-being of 13 (Resident #45, #56, #57, #15, #6, #88, #80, #83, #27, #10, #38, #9, and #492) of 13 residents reviewed for activities. The lack of an individualized activity program had the potential to cause social isolation, apathy, and boredom. The facility also failed to promote communal activities and dining while adhering to core principles of COVID-19 infection prevention. Residents Affected - Some The findings included: Review of the facility policy Activity and Recreation Service (dated July 2019) documented the activity programs are provided to enable patients to achieve the highest level of physical, mental, psychosocial, and spiritual well-being. The program of activities is designed to recognize and accommodate patient limitations while maximizing strengths, interests, and abilities. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services memorandum (QSO-20-39-NH) revised on 3/10/2021 read, While adhering to the core principles of COVID-19 infection prevention, communal activities and dining may occur. Residents may eat in the same room with social distancing (e.g., limited number of people at each table and with at least six feet between each person). Facilities should consider additional limitations based on status of COVID-19 infections in the facility. Additionally, group activities may also be facilitated (for residents who have fully recovered from COVID-19, and for those not in isolation for observation, or with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 status) with social distancing among residents, appropriate hand hygiene, and use of a face covering (except while eating). Facilities may be able to offer a variety of activities while also taking necessary precautions. For example, book clubs, crafts, movies, exercise, and bingo are all activities that can be facilitated with alterations to adhere to the guidelines for preventing transmission. 1.

On 4/12/21 at 9:48 a.m., in an interview Registered Nurse (RN) Staff J said the residents do not leave the unit unless going to rehab with therapy staff. She said they used to have activities in the day room but not since the onset of COVID-19. 2. On 4/11/21 at 1:45 p.m., Resident #56 was observed lying in bed wearing a hospital gown. The resident shared a room with his wife, Resident #57. The resident said no one had asked if he wanted to attend any activities. He did not know if there was anything to do, no one has told us.
