F 0604 Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment. 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 residents were free from physical restraints that are not required to treat the residents' medical symptoms for one (Resident # 11) out of one resident reviewed. Resident #11 was observed wearing the wrong trunk restraint and observed bed against and furniture blocking the opposite side of the bed that restricted freedom of movement. This has the potential to affect one resident with physical restraints out of the 99 residents residing in the facility at the time of the survey. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Observation on 7/24/22 at 12:37 PM, revealed Resident # 11 in the hallway in a wheelchair wearing a mesh vest type restraint which was placed over her shoulders extending down to her waste and secured with a click belt which restrained her trunk. Resident # 11 was not observed releasing the belt. Observation on 7/25/22 at 8:45 AM, revealed Resident # 11 in her room in bed. The privacy curtain was drawn all the way around the bed. The bed was pushed directly up against the wall. There was a large chair and a wheelchair pushed directly up against the other side of the bed. The chairs were touching the bed and blocking the full length of the side of the bed that was not against the wall. Resident #11 was observed lying on a scoop mattress. Observation on 7/25/22 at 9:57 AM revealed Resident # 11 in her wheelchair in the hall. Three staff were observed attempting to apply the mesh vest type restraint with the click belt around Resident #11. Resident # 11 was observed resisting and thrashing about in the chair. The staff removed the mesh vest and applied a Velcro ® belt that wrapped around the resident's waste and was secured closed with Velcro ® behind the wheelchair out of Resident # 11 's reach. Observation on 7/25/22 at 2:30 PM, revealed Resident # 11 in the hallway. The Velcro ® belt remained in place. Resident # 11 was observed trying to bend over and remove her socks, her shoes had already been removed. Observation on 7/26/22 at 9:19 AM, revealed Resident # 11 in her room in bed. The bed was in a low position with a scoop mattress. During this observation the bed was not pushed up against the wall and there was no furniture pushed up against the side of the bed. Observation on 7/27/22 at 4:54 PM revealed Resident # 11 near the nurses' station in her wheelchair with the Velcro ® belt in place. Resident # 11 was observed without shoes and socks, very anxious and making loud repetitive verbalizations. She was thrashing about in the chair and attempting to (continued on next page) 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.

Others: leans forward. Resident continuously leans forward while in wheelchair. She had falls out of chair due to leaning over too far forward. Alternative attempts to reduce risk of harm to resident or others prior to application of restraint: recliner, activities, alternate seating, regular toileting, wedge cushion, therapy. Alternatives did not work; resident continues to lean/bend over when in wheelchair due to cognitive impairment. IDT (interdisciplinary team), doctor and family agreed that a soft Velcro belt will be implemented to allow her to maintain independent wheelchair mobility, to maintain her seating posture in wheelchair to minimize risk of her falling forward in the chair. Review of a quarterly restraint assessment dated [DATE] revealed: Reason for use of physical restraint: agitated behavior, frequent falls, attempts to self-transfer, climbs out of bed.

F 0604 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm ambulate or transfer, she has poor safety awareness, poor decision-making skills, and a longstanding history of falls from bed/chair. Alternatives in past quarter: increased restraint free episodes through day, family companion, 1:1 activities, high-low bed, regular toileting, anticipated hunger/pain, med review, blood work/labs, physical and occupational therapy, and Psych consult, None of the interventions were successful. Team recommends Velcro safety belt while in wheelchair. Family agreed with safety belt use. Residents Affected - Few Review of the physician order sheet revealed Resident #11 had an order 8/3/21, discontinued on 2/3/22 and reordered 6/16/22 for a soft Velcro safety belt when in wheelchair to maintain posture and independent wheelchair mobility to prevent falling forward out of char. Review of the informed consent for use of physical restraint dated 8/3/21 revealed: I give my consent that Soft Velcro ® Belt restraint be used for the purpose of maintaining seating posture, maintaining independent wheelchair mobility, minimize risk of falls for (Resident #11). The consent was received via telephone from the responsible party on 8/3/21. Review of the informed consent for use of physical restraint dated 6/16/22 revealed: I give my consent that (blank) restraint be used for the purpose of maintaining seating posture, maintaining independent wheelchair mobility, minimize risk of falling forward out of wheelchair for (Resident # 11). Signed by responsible party 6/16/22. During an interview the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on 7/28/22 at 8:07 AM, revealed [Resident # 11] is my cousin. She has no family, and I am her responsible party. She is a handful. She has a lot of energy. She was initially admitted to the assisted living unit from home. She did not last long in assisted living as she started to have a cognitive decline. She was always wandering, and she wanted to go home. She was placed in the skilled unit. For two years to now the declines have been cognitive. She does not recognize me anymore. She grabs at everything; she is very flexible, and you will see her moving her legs up and all over the place. About a year and half ago she fell and fractured her hip. I wanted her to have a belt on because she is always grabbing onto to someone or something and without the belt she is at risk for falls. She has like an abdominal binder on that keeps her seated in the wheelchair. She is unable to release it so that is why it is considered a restraint. She is on medication for that fidgeting and the nervousness. She is good in bed, and she sleeps throughout the night. She does not try to get out of bed. She likes to sleep until around 9 or 10 am. All the incidents are when she is out of bed when she is constantly grabbing at everything. We do keep the bed in the lowest position, and I believe she has the scoop mattress to keep her safe. The bed could be up against the wall to help her not to fall but I do not believe they do this. If so, the other side of the bed is free. She has not had a fall from bed. I am aware that this belt is considered a restraint, but it is only used when she is up to the wheelchair. Interview with a Certified Nursing Assistant (Staff G, translated by Spanish speaking Licensed Practical Nurse (Staff F) on 7/28/22 at 10:11 AM revealed, Resident # 11 has a restraint. We try to speak to her in a way that she can understand but she is very confused. Emotionally she does not repeat anything, but physically she is always moving around and grabbing at everything. One minute she will be here and the next minute she will be grabbing on to the railings. The restraint we put on her is a belt. I do not know the name of the belt, but we put it over her the belly, insert it through slits in the wheelchair and then secure it in the back with the Velcro. She tries to remove pretty much everything, clothing items such as shoes and socks, but she cannot remove the belt. The reason they told me she needs the restraint is she is a fall risk, and she will try to get up. I work the 7-3 shift. [Resident # 11] usually gets up after breakfast, sometimes around 9 or so.

F 0604 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few sleeping. I have never seen any type of bed restraints. We have to constantly keep going into the room. She is okay when sleeping but if she is awake, we have to get her up right away. She can get out of bed, but she is at risk for falls. She can walk but not without assistance. When I come in, I did not notice that the bed is up against the wall. She uses a special mattress and a regular wheelchair. Interview with a Licensed Practical Nurse (Staff H) on 7/28/22 at 1:42 PM revealed Resident # 11 at times becomes a little restless and she will hold on to objects really tight. She is not really aggressive, but she is always moving. She is very confused, and she came ambulate in the wheelchair about the unit. She also disrobes at times. She will try to go into other resident rooms, but she does not try to get out of the exits. She wears a belt due to previous falls; she is constantly trying to reach and tries to bend down. The belt helps assure she does not fall over. She has good flexibility. Sometimes she will cry but mostly she is just restless. The medications help. She takes both Seroquel and Ativan, and we monitor her behaviors and side effects. The only type of restraint device they use is the soft Velcro ® belt. This is the device the staff is supposed to use, and it is ordered by the doctor. The staff are not supposed to be using any other type of restraint. She should not have the vest type with the click belt. I work the 7 am - 3 PM shift. She is in bed when I make my rounds. We have to make sure her bed is low, so she does not get out of bed. We are not supposed to put the bed up against the wall and there should not be furniture against the bed. We cannot block her from getting up. She is able to get out of bed, but she would fall. We get her up to the chair as soon as she wakes up. She sleeps late at times but other days she wakes early so we have to monitor her closely. We all look after her. She is calm today but at times she will pull hard on the arms of the wheelchair and grip the handrails. To calm her down, we will place her near the station, and we will talk to her and hold her hand. Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Physical Restraints revised 8/22/17 revealed: Policy: Residents always have the right to considerate and respectful care and under all circumstances, with recognition of their personal dignity and safety in the least restrictive manner. As needed, the interdisciplinary team will evaluate the resident for the potential need for physical restraint. This restraint must be the least restrictive means available .Monitoring and release of restraints will be done according to any state specific regulation. Procedure: A restraint evaluation will be performed by nursing to assess physical, mental and other contributing factors which indicate the need for a restraint/enabler. The responsible party will sign the consent for the use of a safety device after review of risks/benefits .The nurse will obtain the physician's order for the restraint. This order will include the medical reason for the restraint.

Record review of the list of residents who smoke provided by the facility revealed there are two resident currently residing in the facility who smoke including Resident #13. Residents Affected - Few Interview with Resident #13 on 7/24/22 at 1:41 PM revealed he does smoke, but I only smoke a few cigarettes a day. I mostly go outside for fresh air. Observation on 7/28/22 at 1:08 PM revealed Resident #13 stopping at the reception desk and then proceed outside to the front of the building. Observation at 1:15 PM revealed Resident # 13 in the smoking area smoking a cigarette. Review of the demographic face sheet for Resident #13 revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. with multiple diagnosis including Hypertension, Rhabdomyolysis, history of falls, Anemia, and hearing loss. Review of the annual MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #13's BIMS score was 15 indicating intact cognitive function. Section G for functional status was coded to indicate Resident #13 required only supervision for ADLs (activities of daily living), Section J tobacco use was coded no. Review of Resident #13's care plan dated 8/19/19 and lasted reviewed 5/19/22 revealed: Resident is a smoker. Interview with the MDS Coordinator (Staff C) on 7/27/22 at 4:34 PM revealed review of the MDS indicated Resident # 13 does not use tobacco. His care plan indicates Resident # 13 is a smoker. There is an open smoking screen in his electronic health record (EHR) for May 2022. Maybe he took a break from smoking at the time the MDS was completed. If he was smoking the MDS should have been coded yes for tobacco use. Review of the EHR on 7/28/22 revealed a modification of the annual MDS from 5/10/22 that was completed on 7/27/22 at 5:29 PM. The modified MDS indicated Resident # 13 uses tobacco. Interview with the MDS Coordinator (Staff C) on 7/28/22 at 2:16 PM revealed, based on the conversation we had yesterday I went into the system and modified the MDS and coded it to indicate Resident #13 uses tobacco. Based on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to accurately code a Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for two (Resident #19 and Resident #13) out of two residents reviewed for resident assessments. 1.) Resident #19 was not coded for hearing impaired. This has the potential to affect two hearing impaired residents residing in the facility at the time of this survey. The resident was not included on the list for residents identified to have hearing impairment. 2.) Resident #13's MDS was not coded for tobacco use. This has the potential to affect two residents in the facility who were included on the smoking list. There were 99 residents residing in the facility at the time of the survey.

When I do my assessment, I check to make sure the PASRR is in the record, and I check to make sure all the diagnosis are listed. If I find that the PASRR is not correct, I will give it to nursing to complete a new PASRR. The nurses have access to (state mental health authority) website and they will correct the PASRR. If a resident needs a Level II, I fax documentation required for completion of the level II to (state mental health authority) to include the Level I, MDS, all progress notes, physician orders, basically most of the chart is what they ask for. In order to request a level II. I have to fax the level I as well and it needs to be signed by the resident or family before a level II can be requested. I cannot complete or correct a level I PASRR because I am not an MSW (master's in social work), it has to be done by a nurse. The DSS stated if a resident is admitted as a provisional admission, they do not need to have a level II PASRR. If the resident leaves within the 30 days, then they do not need the level II but if they stay in the facility more than 30 days and they have a diagnosis of mental illness then we have to request the level II. A level 2 will also be requested if there is a change in condition and the resident displays behaviors.

F 0645 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few PASRR was completed at the hospital on 5/14/20. The level II would not have been requested because she was a provisional admission at that time. Once a resident becomes long term care and we request an ICP (Institutionalized Care Program) level. This is only to qualify them for nursing home placement. This has nothing to do with PASRR. Since Resident # 11 remained in the facility after the 30-day provisional admission she should have had a level II PASRR requested due to her diagnosis. Resident # 11 does display behaviors.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure food was stored and prepared under sanitary conditions, and dishes were cleaned and stored under sanitary conditions as evidenced by failure to ensure air conditioner (AC) vents directly above food preparation and storage areas and the dish room were clean and free of condensation and walls and ceiling in the dry storage room and the dish room were intact and free of loose peeling paint. This has the potential to contaminate the food and clean dishes. The has the potential to affect 94 residents who eat orally out of 99 residents residing in the facility at the time of the survey. The findings included: Observation in the kitchen on 07/25/22 at beginning 11:09 AM revealed staff placing hot food into the steam table in preparation to serve lunch. Observation revealed a heavy accumulation of a black colored substance and condensation on the air conditioner (AC) vents above the milk box which was open exposing cold food items, above the serving side of the steam table, and directly above food preparation table observed with clean utensils and an open box of plastic wrap. The wall in the hot food preparation area above the hood had an accumulation of dust. The staff was observed preparing food in this area. The A/C vent in the dry storage room where food was stored was observed with an accumulation of black colored residue. The wall in the dry storage room directly above the ready to eat condiment packages was observed to be cracked and the paint was peeling. Observation in the dish room at 11:56 AM revealed peeling paint on the ceiling directly above the soiled dish handling area. Observation above the area where the clean dishes exit the dish machine revealed the ceiling had some rust-colored spots. The ceiling had rough dry wall substance with areas that appeared loose. The surface was rough and uncleanable. Clean dishes were observed in a rack directly below the ceiling. The sprinkler heads in the dish room area were rust colored. Interview with the Dietary Supervisor (Staff J) on 7/25/22 at 11:55 AM revealed the only maintenance request she has pending is to repaint the wall behind the pot storage rack. I also requested that they paint the wall in the dry storage room. Staff J stated that maintenance is responsible for cleaning the AC vents and repairing the damaged walls. Interview with the Director of Maintenance on 7/27/22 at 11:59 AM revealed, I have a little system in my computer to track maintenance issues. I make rounds daily to check the water temperatures, exit signs, fire alarms, eye washing stations. When I tour the building, I also look for other environmental concerns. Usually, other maintenance concerns are reported to me by staff during my environmental rounds or they report to me by radio and concerns. We also have a maintenance work request form located at each station, but most of the time it is just reported to me verbally. If something is reported to me verbally, I just go and fix the problem. The system I created for myself includes preventative maintenance scheduled or completed. The AC vents are cleaned every two months. This includes the vents in the kitchen as well. We cleaned the AC vents in the kitchen yesterday. We also had to repair a crack in the wall in the dry storeroom. We have been working on the ceiling in the dish room. They had a hole in the ceiling covered by plastic. We continue to repair the ceiling in the dish room. I was not aware of any paint chipping in the dish room.
