When the MDS coordinator was asked about Resident #2, she acknowledged the resident was on aspirin 81 mg and the MDS dated [DATE] documented in Section N, Resident #2 was taking an anticoagulant. The MDS Coordinator stated that was a mistake, it should not be an anticoagulant, it should have been antiplatelet. When asked about Resident #32, she acknowledged the resident had not ever had an order for an antiplatelet or anticoagulant. She further acknowledged the MDS for Resident #32 dated 06/08/24 documented the resident was receiving an anticoagulant.

The MDS Coordinator stated she did not know why she did that, and she may have gotten the medications confused. She acknowledged she had made a mistake with the coding of anticoagulant for Residents #2 and #32. She then stated I guess I was overwhelmed. 105680 Page 8 of 24 105680 09/12/2024 Nspire Healthcare Lauderhill 2599 NW 55th Ave Lauderhill, FL 33313

This indicated a weight loss of 2.66 % in a month and 6.55 % weight loss in 6 months. Review of the physicians' order dated 11/03/22 showed that Resident #7 was to be provided with one carton (120 ml [milliliters]) of NSA (No Salt Added) House Shake, twice daily with lunch and dinner. On 02/05/24, the orders showed the resident was to receive a regular textured diet order. On 08/02/24, an order was documented to give Resident #7 snacks daily at HS (hour of sleep) one time at night. On 09/09/24, an order for a NSA supplement was added, increasing the supplement to three times a day. Review of the Registered Dietician (RD) notes, dated 06/03/24, showed the facility staff addressed Resident #7's moderate protein calorie malnutrition by documenting fluctuating appetite (mostly eating 25-50% of meals, and occasionally 75 0r 100 of meals). Review of the RD notes, dated 06/03/24, documented Resident #7 had 5.6 % weight loss in 5 months (126.4 Lbs weight on 02/05/24 to 120.8 Lbs on (06/03/24).

F 0692 Index ) of 19.5. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of the RD notes, dated 06/03//24 documented the following interventions: Residents Affected - Few to monitor laboratory (albumin, total protein, pre-albumin), weight and PO [oral] intake, to continue aggressive PCM (Protein Calorie Malnutrition) treatment with supplements, house shake one carton BID (two times a day) at lunch and dinner, NSA (No Salt Added) of 120 ML (milliliters), QID (4x a day). It added that staff assist with meals. In an interview with Resident #7 on 09/10/24 at 09:30 AM, she stated she sometimes does not like to eat, and only drinks tea in the morning. During lunch observation on 09/10/24 at 1:30 PM, Resident # 7's lunch tray remained untouched. There was no supplement noted on the meal table. There was no assistance from staff observed. Resident #7 returned her meal tray to the meal cart with staff observing. Staff did not ask if she wanted to have an alternate lunch. During an observation conducted on 09/11/24 at 9:26 AM, Resident #7 stated that she drank tea, but did not touch breakfast. The breakfast tray was delivered before 9:00 AM and remained untouched at 9:50 AM. No staff approached the resident to encourage her to eat or asked her if she wanted something else. In an interview with Staff I, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), on 09/11/24 at 9:30 AM, she stated that Resident #7 eats when the food is interesting. She stated that Resident #7 eats only 50% of her meal most of the time. When asked if she had seen Resident #7 drinking nutritional supplement during breakfast and lunch, she stated no. When asked if she assisted Resident #7 in eating, she answered no. She stated Resident #7 likes to drink tea but refuses food on the breakfast tray. When asked if she offered Resident #7 a different breakfast, she responded, no. She added that Resident #7 likes to eat her lunch. An interview was conducted with the Registered Dietician (RD) on 09/11/24 at 10:06 AM. She said that she was not concerned about Resident #7's weight loss because it was a weight loss trend and not a weight trigger for significant weight loss in the electronic system. When the surveyor reviewed with her the weight loss of Resident #7, which went down to 114.2 pounds on 09/03/24, from 117.2 pounds on 08/30/24, and 125 pounds on 05/12/24, she stated she knew about the weight loss trend, but it was not significant weight loss and considered it not important. When asked by the surveyor why she modified the nutritional supplement order to 3 times a day on 09/09/24, she stated that she increased the volume of the supplement because of Resident #7's weight loss trends. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 09/12/24 at 2:00 PM, the above findings were reviewed. 105680 Page 14 of 24 105680 09/12/2024 Nspire Healthcare Lauderhill 2599 NW 55th Ave Lauderhill, FL 33313
F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to follow the physicians' orders for tube feeding for 1 of 1 sampled resident reviewed for nutrition, Resident #69. The findings included: Record review revealed Resident #69 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Hemiplegia, History of falling, Muscle Weakness, and Chronic Kidney Disease. Review of the Physician's orders revealed the following: a. On 09/04/24, Enteral feeding continuous with Jevity 1.5 (tube feeding formulary type), at 75 milliliters (ml) an hour for 20 hours or until 1500ml has infused with off feeding time at 10:00 AM. b.

In an observation conducted on 09/11/24 at 12:47 PM, Resident #69 was noted in the room with the tube feeding running. The tube feeding was noted with Jevity 1.5 at 75ml an hour, which started on 09/11/24 at 6:45 AM. About six hours later, the tube feeding bottle was noted at the 900ml mark out of the 1000ml capacity bottle. Review of the Clinical Dietitian progress note dated 08/23/24 revealed the following: weight loss trigger with no enteral feeding intolerances reported per nursing. Feeding increases related to significant weight loss. Review of the Clinical Dietitian progress note dated 09/06/24 revealed that Resident #69 has been losing weight, and the Dietitian updated the orders to change to continuous feedings. Review of the care plan dated 04/19/24 showed that Resident #69 requires tube feeding and needs to see the doctor's orders for current tube feedings. Resident #69 will maintain adequate nutritional and hydration status. An interview was conducted on 09/11/24 at 1:32 PM with Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse, who stated she provided Resident #69 with bolus tube feeding at 9:30 AM this morning and at 12:00 PM today. She further said that Resident #69 is tolerating her tube feeding well. An interview was conducted on 09/11/24 at 1:42 PM with the Registered Dietitian, who stated she was told by nursing there was a malfunctioning of the tube feeding pump for Resident #69, and an order was placed for bolus feeding to meet the additional feeding of her needs for the tube feeding that started this morning. She confirmed that the tube feeding observed on 09/10/24 at 10:15 AM should have been at the 700ml mark and not at the 850ml mark as observed. The Registered Dietitian stated that she changed the tube feeding order from bolus to continuous to ensure that Resident #69 received the estimated calories and protein needs. An interview was conducted on 09/11/24 at 2:00 PM with the Director of Nursing, who stated Resident #69 used to pull her tube feeding out, which may have caused some of the weight loss. When asked for any documentation regarding the tube feeding behaviors, she was not able to provide any further documentation. 105680 Page 16 of 24 105680 09/12/2024 Nspire Healthcare Lauderhill 2599 NW 55th Ave Lauderhill, FL 33313
F 0742 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with mental disorder or psychosocial adjustment difficulty, or who has a history of trauma and/or post-traumatic stress disorder. Based on observation, interview, record and policy review, the facility failed to timely assess a resident with a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and failed to provide psychosocial services to meet the need for PTSD diagnosis for 1 of 1 sampled resident reviewed for PTSD, Resident #88. The findings included: The facility's policy, titled, PTSD Procedure and Policy, effective 08/14/20 and revised 11/20/20, documented, in part, Upon admission, all residents will be screened for potential PTSD using a standardized tool, such as the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) and Residents identified with PTSD will be offered individualized care plans that include: trauma-informed therapy or counseling, medication management (if appropriate). Record review revealed Resident #88 was admitted to the facility post hospitalization on 08/14/24, with admitting diagnoses that included Unspecified Cirrhosis of Liver, Coronary Artery Disease, Non-Alzheimer's Dementia, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment documented the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) with a score of 8, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. Section I of this MDS revealed the resident had PTSD. An interview was conducted with the resident on 09/10/24 at 1:25 PM. He stated he was a veteran, has PTSD and was in the hospital with a flashback before he was admitted here. He stated sudden loud noises remind him of the war like a car backfiring or loud car noises. An interview was conducted with Staff F, Registered Nurse (RN), on 09/10/24 at 1:40 PM, who stated she was aware of the PTSD diagnosis but was unaware of the triggers. She stated that he never spoke about it. An interview was conducted with the Social Service director on 09/10/24 at 1:45 PM. She was asked what she would do with a resident admitted with PTSD. She stated she does not deal with PTSD and she thinks a nurse does. When asked who would do a care plan for PTSD, she stated that the surveyor should talk to the MDS person. An interview was conducted with the MDS Coordinator on 09/10/24 at 3:10 PM, who stated she had been working in this facility for 11 months. She was asked what was the process if a resident was admitted with a diagnosis of PTSD. She stated the resident would be followed by psychiatry. She was asked who would talk to the resident about why he had PTSD and what his triggers were. She stated she would rather the psychiatrist talk to him about that. The MDS coordinator was asked if the resident had been seen by a psychiatrist yet and she stated she would put him on the list to be seen. The surveyor asked why has the resident not been seen since he has been here for a month already and she did not know. She stated that it is her job to put a care plan in for PTSD. She was asked why there was no care plan for PTSD for this resident and she stated she would put one in today. The PTSD policy was received by the surveyor on 09/12/24 at 10:00 AM and reviewed. An interview was conducted with the Regional Nurse Consultant who stated they have no PTSD tool. If they did, the Social Service Director would do the assessment. She stated that no resident has been screened with 105680 Page 17 of 24 105680 09/12/2024 Nspire Healthcare Lauderhill 2599 NW 55th Ave Lauderhill, FL 33313

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm An interview was conducted with the Psychiatrist on 09/12/24 at 11:50 AM, who had completed the assessment of Resident #88 that morning (09/12/24). The Psychiatrist stated the resident is confused and he has a lot of brain problems and encephalopathy and his current ammonia level is normal. He is hearing voices and hearing soldiers marching and because he is hallucinating he started him on Seroquel. (Seroquel is an antipsychotic medication used for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder.) He does not seem distressed by it. He will see him next week. He thinks someone admitted with PTSD should be seen by a psychiatrist but since no one made him aware of it, he is seeing him today.

This had the potential to affect 27 residents who were on a mechanical soft diet. The findings included: Review of the facility's 'National Dysphagia Diet Level 3 Advanced' revealed the following: The advanced diet consists of food of varying textures except for very hard, sticky, or crunchy foods. Foods need to be served moist and ground, chopped, or in bite-size pieces less than 1 inch long. It further showed foods to avoid, such as undercooked fibrous, tough, or stringy vegetables, such as cabbage, asparagus, and celery. Review of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #73 had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 03, indicating severe cognitive impairment. Review of orders revealed an order, dated 02/8/23, for a No Added Salt (NAS) diet with Mechanical soft texture. Review of the MDS dated [DATE] showed that Resident #41 had a BIMS score of 09, which indicated the resident had moderate cognitive impairment. A review of orders revealed an order for a Regular Mechanical soft diet dated 12/08/22. Review of the facility's menu showed the following foods for Monday 09/09/24 for the lunch meal: Glazed meatloaf, mashed potatoes, red cabbage, wheat roll, margarine, apple pie, and coffee, or juice. In an observation conducted on 09/09/24 at 12:20 PM in the main dining room, Resident #73 was observed eating her lunch meal with the MDS Coordinator feeding her the lunch meal. The meal tray consisted of a mechanical soft diet with mashed potatoes, chopped meatloaf, and cooked red cabbage. The cabbage was in strips of approximately 2-3 inches in size. Resident #73 was observed coughing after taking a bite of the cooked red cabbage. The surveyor attempted to cut through the cooked red cabbage with a fork. A force was used to cut through the red cabbage, which was hard to cut. In an observation conducted on 09/09/24 at 1:10 PM, Resident #41 was eating his lunch meal in his room with no staff in attendance. The meal plate was noted with the following: chopped meatloaf, mashed potatoes, bread and cooked red cabbage with each piece about 2-3 inches long. In an interview conducted on 09/12/24 at 10:34 AM, Staff G, Speech Language Pathologist, stated that residents on a mechanical soft diet at the facility follow the Level 3 Advanced Dysphagia diet. Vegetables should be cooked so that a fork can crush through them without forced use. The vegetables needs to be within the width of the fork that is used. She was aware that the cooked red cabbage on Monday 09/09/24 for the lunch meal was inappropriate for the diet consistency of the mechanical soft diet. She spoke to the Clinical Dietitian and the Dietary Manager regarding the lunch that was served on Monday. She questioned how long it was cooked and stated that it was still tough to cut and not 105680 Page 22 of 24 105680 09/12/2024 Nspire Healthcare Lauderhill 2599 NW 55th Ave Lauderhill, FL 33313

This was observed during 1 of 3 visits conducted in the Main Kitchen. The findings included: In a tour of the Main Kitchen conducted on 09/09/24 at 9:00 AM with the Kitchen Manager, the following were noted: a. Small flying insects were noted in the dishwashing area near an opened round garbage dumpster. A Drainage treatment system that was not connected was noted underneath the dishwashing machine. In this observation, the Kitchen Manager said that she called an outside company to come and treat the flying insects that were observed last week in the kitchen. She did not know why the treatment system was disconnected and said, It is not connected to the main tube. She then proceeded to connect the treatment system to the correct tubing. b. The walk-in refrigerator had an internal thermometer, which showed a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit and not the recommended 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below. The walk-in refrigerator was noted to have water condensation, and the carton boxes were not cold to the touch and felt wet. In this observation, the kitchen manager stated that the internal thermometer was probably not working and removed it from the walk-in refrigerator. c.
