Failure to have the physician sign the Florida DNR order. leaves the resident at risk of receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) against their wishes during transfer by Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The findings included: A Florida DNR form is considered an advance directive. It's a specific type of advanced directive that instructs healthcare providers not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if the patient's heart or breathing stops. In Florida, a DNR order is a legal document, specifically DH Form 1896, directs medical professionals not to perform CPR on a person in the event of cardiac or respiratory arrest. The form must be on yellow paper and signed by both the resident (or their authorized representative) and the resident's physician.

F 0636 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every 12 months. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, observation, and interview, the facility failed to update/revise the comprehensive care plan related to pressure injuries for 1 Resident (#68) of 3 residents reviewed with pressure injuries. The findings included: Resident #68 was admitted on [DATE] with end stage renal disease, type 2 diabetes, weakness, cognitive communication deficit, heart failure, need for assistance with personal care, feeding tube, colostomy tube, and indwelling urinary catheter. He was admitted to the facility with multiple pressure wounds. He had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3 which indicateshe is cognitively impaired. Record review of the admission assessment did not reflect identification of a Stage 2 flank wound or a Stage 3 coccyx wound. Record review of the weekly skin assessments showed the following newly identified wounds. on 4/8/25, a Stage 2 pressure injury right rear flank, inferior and on 4/8/25, a Stage 3 pressure injury on the coccyx. On 4/21/25, the care plan did not reflect goals or interventions for a Stage 2 pressure injury to the flank, or a Stage 3 pressure injury to the coccyx. Record review of the dialysis communication binder showed no documentation of communication the resident had newly diagnosed pressure injuries or that he required offloading or repositioning. On 4/21/25 at 12:25 p.m., Resident #68 was observed lying in bed with a home health aide sitting next to him. He was laying on an air mattress with multiple dressings seen on his legs. On 4/22/25 at 4:15 p.m., Resident #68 was observed being wheeled to his room after returning to the facility from dialysis. He was sitting low in his wheelchair, with his feet hanging off the footrest. He was not able to reposition himself and said he was in pain. Three staff members from physical therapy, including Staff U, Director of Therapy, arrived to assist the resident using the mechanical lift to get him back to bed. When resident #68 was lifted out of his wheelchair, it was observed that he did not have any type of offloading devices for his flank, and he had been sitting on a thick blanked that covered the offloading cushion. * On 4/23/25 at 9:23 a.m., Staff W, Physical Therapy (PT) said that the provided wheelchair did not provide any offloading support for the right flank wound, and the offloading cushion is intended to prevent pressure injuries to the coccyx. On 4/23/25 at 9:45 a.m., Staff U, Therapy Director, said strict repositioning procedures should be followed by the healthcare provider while using the offloading cushion. On 4/23/25 at 10:30 a.m., during an interview, Staff X, Occupational Therapy (OT) and Staff Y, OT said that an offloading cushion is sufficient, and repositioning is not required.

F 0636 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm On 4/23/25 at 10:35 a.m., during an interview, Staff Z, CNA said that you do not need to reposition someone who is sitting on an offloading cushion because it is doing its job. On 4/23/25 at 10:40 a.m., during an interview, Staff AA, CNA, said a resident on an offloading cushion does not need to be repositioned. Residents Affected - Few On 4/23/25 at 11:52 a.m., during an interview, the Risk Manager stated everyone just knows that the resident needs to be turned and repositioned, we don't have a scheduled turning program. On 4/23/25 at 12:00 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) said that if a resident has a worsening wound, she would expect to be notified so that she can assist with managing the wound and ensure the orders and interventions are correct. She also stated that, we don't have a turn and reposition program or policy, it depends on the needs of the resident's needs. On 4/23/25 at 4:30 p.m., during a wound care observation, the right flank wound on Resident #68 had black tissue that was not noted in the documentation, and a dressing that was dated 4/22/25. Staff Q, RN Supervisor stated, I would say that due to the slough, this wound is unstageable, I have not seen this wound for at least a week, I would say that it is stable. On 4/23/25 at 5:00 p.m., the resident's physician said that he does not recall seeing the wound on Resident #68 and does not know if there is black tissue in the wound bed because he has staff to address the wounds. He also said that the facility still needs to turn and reposition the resident regardless of whether he is high risk for developing additional wounds. Record reviews show that a significant change in condition was not documented for the unstageable wound that was assessed with three RN managers present, Staff Q, RN, Staff M, RN and Staff I, RN. On 4/24/25 at 9:15 a.m., the DON said that the nursing staff had not reported any black tissue on Resident #68. On 4/24/25 at 9:20 a.m., an observation of Resident #68 was made, he was sitting in a wheelchair in his room, with no offloading to right flank. On 4/24/25 at 9:30 a.m., during a phone interview, the Physician's Assistant said that he relies on the facility's wound team to accurately describe the wound and that he had not seen it. He was not aware that there was black tissue on the wound. He also said that he would want to be informed if the wound tissue was black so he could ensure the resident receives the proper care. *Photographic Evidence Obtained.

F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, staff interviews, and observations, the facility failed to complete a PASRR Level II referral for 1 (Resident #43) resident who demonstrated the return of a serious mental illness. This resulted in a lack of appropriate psychiatric assessment and increased risk of unmet care needs. The findings included: Review of the facilities PASRR Requirements Level 1 and Level 2, effective February 2021. The policy does not address a process for a PASRR assessment after the reemergence of a serious mental illness after the residents have been admitted to the facility. Resident #43 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from another skilled nursing facility with a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. A PASRR Level II determination completed on 6/6/2024 indicated that specialized services were not needed. On 1/29/2025, a psychiatric evaluation documented the resident's schizoaffective disorder was considered resolved. A Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR) was initiated, reducing Ziprasidone from 60 mg to 40 mg daily (nn antipsychotic used for the treatment of schizophrenia). A Significant Change in Status Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] coded 0 - No for serious mental illness, despite the resident continuing to receive antipsychotic medication and exhibiting cognitive impairment. Review of nursing progress notes dated between 3/11/2025 and 4/7/2025 revealed progressive behavioral changes, including increased agitation, verbal outbursts, territorial guarding of her room, and physical aggression. On 4/8/2025, Resident #43 struck her roommate in the face after the roommate mistakenly sat in her wheelchair, resulting in bruising and scratches to the roommate's face and neck. Review of a psychiatric evaluation performed on 4/8/2025 confirmed the return of psychotic symptoms, including hallucinations and confusion. Resident #43 was re-diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. Following the incident, psychiatric interventions were initiated: Ziprasidone was increased back to 60 mg daily, Give 1 capsule by mouth one time a day for Schizoaffective disorder/failed GDR. Clonazepam was prescribed for agitation, and laboratory tests were ordered for medication monitoring. The facility updated the resident's diagnosis list on 4/22/2025 to include schizophrenia (F20.9). On 4/21/25 at 9:30 a.m.: Resident #43 was observed in the hallway seated in a wheelchair. The resident was non-verbal, communicating only through low grunting sounds. When other residents or staff walked by, Resident #43 demonstrated increased tension in her posture and visually tracked their movements with narrowed, guarded expressions. On 4/22/25 at 9:56 a.m., when approaching the resident's room, a staff member cautioned, be careful, she doesn't like anybody in her room. The resident was observed eating breakfast but remained highly vigilant toward the hallway, pausing between bites to look sharply at any movement near her door.

He said I skipped stage 1, 2 and 3 and went straight to stage 4. They put the drainage bags into my kidneys because I couldn't urinate. On 4/23/25 at 8:32 a.m., Resident #216's right nephrostomy drainage bag was on the floor verified by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff D. LPN Staff D said the resident rolls in bed and the bag falls on the floor. Resident #216 said I can't roll. I can't turn myself and I can't walk. The left nephrostomy drainage bag was observed on the bed under the resident's back. On 4/23/25 at 11:15 a.m., in an interview CNA Staff E said the catheter bag is covered with a blue bag for privacy and you hang it from the bed or the w/c, it is not supposed to be on the floor.

The Medication Administration Record (MAR) documented the nurse had changed the PICC line dressing on 4/17/25. On 4/22/25 at 10:16 a.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said IV dressings are to be changed every 7 days. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed on 4/17/25 the nurse signed the record indicating Resident #216's dressing had been changed. The DON said I understand. On 4/23/25 at 8:47 a.m., in an interview the DON said I don't understand how you can have a photo of the PICC line and the MAR said the dressing was changed. I had my nurse go through the garbage last night looking for any PICC line dressings and they do not match your photos. The DON reviewed the photo's and verified that they have a date and time stamp on them. No evidence of a dressing change on 4/17/25 was produced by the facility at the time of exit from the facility. On 4/21/25 at 10:27 a.m., Resident #27 said he was receiving antibiotics via a PICC line in the right antecubital, he said he did not know why he was receiving the antibiotics. The resident showed his arm where the PICC line was inserted. The dressing covering PICC was dated 4/12/25 but was difficult to read as it had been written over several times with a darker pen. Review of the clinical record documented a physician order to Change IV Dressing every 7 days as well as PRN for soiling and/or dislodgement., every evening shift, every 7 day(s) and as needed. Review of the MAR documented the PICC line dressing was changed on 4/11/25 and 4/18/25. On 4/22/25 at 10:10 a.m., during an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said she was not aware the resident had a PICC line. Reviewing the findings with the DON, and the photographic evidence obtained on 4/21/25 showing dates of 4/4/25, 4/11/25 or 4/14/25. The DON confirmed it was not clear when the dressing was actually changed for Resident #27 as it was written over with a darker ink. Resident #68 was admitted on [DATE] with end stage renal disease, type 2 diabetes, weakness, cognitive communication deficit, heart failure, need for assistance with personal care, feeding tube, colostomy tube, and indwelling urinary catheter.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some On 4/22/25 at 4:20 p.m., during an interview, Staff Q, said that the staff should be wearing gowns when providing urinary catheter care and changing briefs. On 4/22/25 at 4:30 p.m., during a interview, Staff R, CNA and Staff S, CNA both said they believed the reason they were not wearing the gowns is because they were in a hurry to help the resident who recently returned from dialysis. *** Photographic evidence obtained *** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement an effective Infection Prevention and Control Program (IPCP) for 5 (Residents #111, #25, #27, #68, and #216) of 5 residents sampled for Infection control practices putting the residents at risk for transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). The findings included: Review of the facility's IPCP policy stated, The IPCP is a comprehensive program that addresses detection, prevention, and control of infections and communicable diseases among residents, visitors, volunteers, those individuals providing services under contractual agreement, and personnel. The IPCP, in addition, will facilitate activities to improve antibiotic use to reduce adverse events, prevent the emergence of antibiotic resistance, and promote better outcomes for residents. The goals of the IPCP are to: a. Provision of a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment b. Decrease the risk of infection and communicable diseases development and transmission to residents, volunteers, visitors, individuals providing services under a contractual arrangement, and personnel. c. Monitor for the occurrence of infections and communicable diseases and implement appropriate prevention measures to reduce occurrences d. Identify and correct problems relating to infection control and prevention practices. e. Focus on activities to optimize the treatment of infections, while reducing potential for the occurrence of adverse events associated with antibiotic use. Review of the facilities Enhanced Barrier precautions (EBP) policy showed EBP refers to an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission or MDROs that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident activities. EBP are used in conjunction with standard precautions and expand the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to include donning of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDROs to staff hands and clothing. EBP is indicated for residents with any of the following: 1. Infection or colonization with a CDC-targeted multi-drug-resistant organism when Contact Precautions do not otherwise apply, or 2. Wounds and/or indwelling medical devices, even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with an MDRO.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm third resident, #68, located outside of the Memory Care Unit, was also under EBP for wounds, a Foley catheter, tube feeding, and a colostomy bag. During observation of the Memory Care Unit on 4/21/25 from 8:00 a.m., through 11:30 a.m., staff were not observed wearing gowns at any time when providing care to residents #25 and #111 on EBP. Residents Affected - Some On 4/22/25 at 10:15 a.m., during an interview and resident room audit for PPE, the DON reported the facility's policy is to post EBP signage above the resident's bed, and PPE is to be stored in the resident's bathroom cubby. Observations of Resident #25's and Resident #111's room revealed no gowns stored in the resident bathroom cubby. The DON explained PPE audits are to be done daily but acknowledged the daily PPE audit was not done on 4/22/25. On 4/23/25 at 1:10 p.m., Resident #25 was observed seated in her wheelchair outside her room, repeatedly asking for assistance to use the bathroom. No licensed staff were visible in the hallway. Resident #25 became agitated and began to navigate down the hallway in search of help. On 4/23/25 at 1:25 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Staff A, responded to Resident #25. The staff member was observed wearing gloves but did not don a gown while providing direct toileting care. After assisting the resident, Staff A said the resident was on EBP and she did not wear a gown when assisting Resident #25 with toileting, and stated she only used gowns when the residents had scabies. On 4/24/25 at 10:00 a.m., in an interview Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff D said PPE was not consistently available at the entrance of the resident rooms and should be more accessible, especially to staff entering to perform care. She confirmed receiving EBP training this year but could not recall the date. On 4/24/25 at 10:35 a.m., in an interview the Memory Care Unit Manager, Staff E said he relies on frequent rounding of the nursing staff to monitor PPE compliance. When informed of the missing PPE in resident rooms in the memory care unit and Staff A not donning a gown when assisting Resident #25 with toileting, he said There was a failure there. On 4/24/25 at 2:20 p.m., in an interview Infection Preventionist Staff C said she dedicates more than 20 hours a week to infection control, along with daily PPE rounds that are also conducted by the unit managers and nursing staff. She explained that the facility follows CDC guidelines. She said the facility intentionally omits door caddies for EBP residents in Memory Care due to concerns over resident confusion and cost effectiveness. She said she last conducted staff gown donning and doffing training in February 2025, and spot checks for PPE compliance are conducted every other day. Staff C admitted that making PPE more accessible to staff in the Memory Care Unit is an area needing improvement.
