F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to provide a homelike environment for all the residents who ate their meals in the first floor dining room (ranging from 11 to 17 residents) at three different meals, by serving the resident's meals on serving trays at the table in an institutional manner. Findings: On 3/27/23 at 11:44 AM, in the first floor main dining room, residents were served from a satellite kitchen with a hot food holding line. When staff assembled the residents' trays, they placed their plates, bowls, cups and eating ware on serving trays. The staff brought the serving trays to the residents' tables and placed them in front of the residents. The staff did not remove the resident's plate and other eating ware from the tray. There were at least 17 residents who had their plates on the serving trays at their tables. During the breakfast meal observation in the first floor dining room on 3/28/23 from 7:39 AM to 8:23 AM, staff served 11 residents their breakfast meals on serving trays and their plates and eating ware were not removed from the trays at the table. A written policy on dining room service was requested; however the facility did not provide a policy specific to dining service. During the lunch meal observation in the first floor dining room on 3/29/23 at 11:49 AM, all the residents in the dining room who were eating at the time had their plates and eating ware on the serving trays at their tables. On 3/30/23 at 12:38 PM, during a discussion with the Dining Services Director, he stated that the staff should remove the plates and eating ware from the serving tray for residents in the dining room. He stated further that the only place that they leave a tray is in the room, but not in the dining room. During the exit conference on 3/30/23 at approximately 6:05 PM, the Administrator stated that some residents were care planned for requesting that the serving trays be kept at the table during meal service. The facility provided the resident care plans after the survey on 4/3/23 for residents who ate in the first floor dining room; however, none of the care plans had a specific intervention included that the residents wanted the serving tray to remain on the table during meals.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on closed record review and interview, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for one of one resident, (#82) reviewed for death in the facility. Resident #82 had an identified swallowing problem and the Speech-Language Pathologist had recommended compensatory strategies which were not included in the resident's comprehensive care plan. The resident had a choking incident on 2/10/23, and despite the facility staff and Emergency Medical Services emergency efforts, the resident died. Findings: According to the medical record of Resident #82, he was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and most recently readmitted on [DATE]. The resident died on 2/10/23. Resident #82 had multiple medical diagnoses, including Parkinson's disease; oropharyngeal phase dysphagia (swallowing problem involving the throat and pharynx); elevated blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, atherosclerotic heart disease of the native coronary artery without angina pectoris (heart disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries, causing them to narrow and reducing blood flow without causing pain); heart failure; pulmonary hypertension (a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart); other seizures, major depressive disorder, recurrent, mild, unspecified; colostomy status; enterocolitis due to Clostridioides difficile (a bacterium that causes an infection and inflammation of the intestines); mild protein-calorie malnutrition; and chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs). Resident #82 had a physician's order dated 10/12/22 Regular texture. Regular/thin liquids consistency (diet/thin liquids finger food for independent dining). On 10/13/22, the diet order was changed to Regular texture, nectar thick liquids (Diet/nectar thick liquids finger foods for independent dining). On 10/26/22, there was a diet order for Regular texture. Regular/thin liquids consistency, finger foods for independent dining. The most recent diet order was 11/04/22 which was the same as previous. On 10/13/22, there was an order for speech therapy to provide skilled dysphagia treatment (R13.12) 5 times a week for 4 weeks to analyze/modify diet/liquids levels as tolerated, establish safe swallowing protocol with compensatory safe swallowing strategies and patient/caregiver education as needed. The most recent comprehensive assessment for Resident #82 was a Significant Change reassessment Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Review Date (ARD) of 10/17/22. This assessment found that the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, which indicated the resident had no cognitive impairment. The resident also had no signs of delirium. The Significant Change reassessment coded Resident #82 as requiring supervision with eating with set up only and identified that the resident had coughing or choking during meals or when swallowing medications. His height was 75, and he weighed 221 lbs and he had no weight loss or gain or it was unknown. The most recent MDS assessment for Resident #82 was a Quarterly assessment ARD of 1/12/23.

The recommendation to avoid drinking straws was not included in the resident's comprehensive care plan. Resident #82 had Speech Therapy from 10/13/22 to 12/6/22. The SLP's discharge recommendations were Regular diet, thin liquids; compensatory strategies/position - to facility safety and efficiency, it is recommended the patient use the following strategies during oral intake: bolus size modifications and hard throat clear/reswallow, along with upright posture during meals. These recommendations were not included in the resident's comprehensive care plan. Interview with the first floor Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) on 3/30/23 at 10:55 AM revealed that Resident #82 was on a regular diet. She stated she was not sure the resident had a swallowing problem, but stated he did have dysphagia as a diagnosis. The ADON stated that the resident received speech therapy, but was not able to access the speech therapy notes in the electronic record at that time. She recalled that Resident #82 was seated in his wheelchair at a 90 degree angle. Interview with Registered Nurse, Staff A, on 3/30/23 at 11:06 AM, who was the first nurse to respond to the resident when he had his choking incident on 2/101/23, revealed that she did not remember the resident's diet but knew he had Parkinson's and was followed by speech therapy. She said she was not aware of the resident's compensatory strategies for swallowing, as she did not work on the unit that resident live on. Interview on 03/30/23 at 11:15 AM with RN Staff B, who worked on the unit that Resident #82 lived on, revealed that she knew that resident #82 had a Regular diet, thin liquids.

He took the meds with a cup and drank with a straw. RN Staff B did not remember Resident #82 having speech therapy. She said that Resident #82 had stiffness or rigidity with his Parkinson's disease rather than tremors. Interview with the Therapy Manager on 3/30/23 at 11:22 AM revealed that therapy was working with Resident #82 using a slow flow cup, but he refused to use it. He would have used the slow flow cup instead of using straws. She stated that he should not have used straws to drink with. The Therapy Manager stated Resident #82 had rigidity with his Parkinson's disease and they kept him on restorative physical therapy for mobility. When asked how therapy communicated their recommendations to other staff and how these recommendations are included in the care plan, she replied that they write a diet order and a care plan to give MDS staff. Therapy also inservices the staff on their recommendations. She said that Resident #82 was excellent with consistent staff support. The Therapy Manager stated she would try to find documentation for the staff training for Resident #82.
