F 0585 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews, record review, observation, and policy review the facility failed to ensure a grievance was acted upon for one resident (#46) of fifteen sampled residents. Findings included: Resident #46 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of perforated intestine, according to the face sheet in the admission record. A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment in the medical record, dated 5/28/21, reflected a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 14, indicating Resident #46's cognition was intact. On 6/28/21 at 10:39 AM an interview was conducted with Resident #46. She said the man that lives next door [Resident #16] is verbally abusive to the staff. He is obnoxious. He screams. He is vulgar. He wanders everywhere. She said he has not come in her room or spoke to her, but it's really a bother, and the staff aren't allowed to do anything about it. She has reported it to the ARNP [Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner] and the DON [Director of Nursing]. Resident #46 also said that it takes thirty minutes to an hour for anyone to answer the call light on the eleven to seven shift [night shift]. They are so busy chasing that man around to keep everybody safe. Review of the complaint/grievance report, dated 6/24/21, reflected the following findings: Communicated by: Resident #46, pertaining to: Resident #16. Communicated to the SSD [Social Services Director]. Concern Resident #46 reports that Resident #16 is very disruptive at night, yelling profanities and slamming doors and is disturbing her sleep. Plan to resolve complaint/grievance: Resident offered a room change and declined. Resident made aware that ARNP would be made aware of Resident #46's behaviors.

Under 'wandering presence and frequency', the choice was marked 'behavior of this type occurred daily'. On 7/01/21 at 10:23 AM an interview was conducted with the Social Services Director (SSD), who was the grievance coordinator at the facility. She said the DON and herself met with Resident #46 in the family room. Resident #46 had concerns with Resident #16 regarding him not sleeping at night, yelling, slamming doors, and profanity, and it was keeping her awake. They offered her a room on the other unit. She did not want that. She asked what would be done. We said we would talk to the ARNP. She asked what she would do about it. We said we could not share that because it would violate privacy rights. The SSD said she let the ARNP know about the behaviors. There have been no further complaints from Resident #46. I have not heard that he isn't sleeping at night. The SSD said she did not ask Resident #46 if she is still having concerns about Resident #16. I talk to her everyday about her discharge plan and she has not voiced anything about him. On 6/30/21 at 10:33 AM an interview was conducted with Resident #16's CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), Staff C. Staff C, CNA said Resident #16 does have behaviors. He takes all his clothes out and puts them on the bed, even the dirty ones from his basket. He puts food in the toilet and clogs it a lot. There has been no aggression on her shift.

She said Resident #46 had a grievance and we wrote it up. We could not give her a lot of information because of HIPAA [Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act] violation. We offered a room change, but she did not want it.

F 0585 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm not want to be upset for the visit. We left because she asked us too; it wasn't quite resolved. She was upset that we offered her to move. She did not feel she had to move when she wasn't the problem. We tried to explain that we offer to move the person who has the concern, but that is when she asked us to leave. I have not followed up with her. The SSD usually goes back and follows up with them. We should have followed up with her. Residents Affected - Few Review of the policy, Complaint/Grievance, dated 8/9/18, revealed the following: Overview: The intent of this guideline is to support each resident's right to voice grievances (e.g., those about treatment, care, management of funds, loss clothing, or violation of rights) and to assure that after receiving a complaint/grievance, the center actively seek a resolution for resident appropriately apprised of its progress toward resolution.

F 0622 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Further review of Resident #16's record revealed there was no other information regarding Resident #16's transfer. On 7/01/21 at 10:23 AM an interview was conducted with the Social Services Director (SSD). She said, he went to the hospital on Saturday, and the doctor did more medication changes on Saturday. I was not here Saturday. The DON sent him out. On 6/30/21 at 10:59 AM an interview was conducted with Staff B, RN (Registered Nurse), Unit Manager. Staff B, RN said he went to the hospital Saturday early in the morning for aggressive behavior. The doctor gave the order. The DON called the physician, and he gave an order to send Resident #16 out for evaluation and treatment with a 911 pick-up. He was aggressive with the staff on night and morning shift. The weekend supervisor called the DON. Normally somebody goes and talks to him or he goes and talks to social services. He refused the medications. He doesn't normally have a problem with the day or night shift. On 6/30/21 at 4:20 PM an interview was conducted with the DON. She said he was getting aggressive, altered mental status. We called the doctor and he wanted him sent out. The hospital evaluated him and sent him back. He didn't come back with any new orders. He was cursing, walking up to staff aggressively. He says inappropriate words. He was being loud. I have never seen aggression toward residents, just staff. A lot of times he won't take his medications so he may not have allowed them to put it (the ABH gel) on. It is listed under 'other', which is why it is probably not showing up for them. Review of the June 2021 MAR (medication administration record) revealed that the ABH gel had never been administered. On 7/01/21 at 12:35 PM an interview was conducted with the DON, who confirmed there wasn't a transfer form in Resident #16's record. On 7/01/21 at 1:18 PM a follow up interview was conducted with the DON. She said I don't know why they didn't do the transfer form. Whether it's a [NAME] Act or not, the transfer form still should be completed. We sent him out for an evaluation. He normally walks around talking loud. That day he was louder than usual and verbally inappropriate. We tried redirecting him. He has PRNs, but once he has at a certain level he isn't going to take anything. The hospital evaluated him and sent him back. Review of the policy, Transfer/Discharge Notification and Right to Appeal, dated 3/26/18 reflected the following: Policy: Transfer and discharges of residents, initiated by the center (facility initiated) will be conducted according to Federal and/or State regulatory requirements.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview the facility failed to obtain documentation from a hospice provider to ensure coordination of services for 1 of 2 (#17) residents receiving hospice services. Residents Affected - Few Findings included: Review of the facility policy titled Hospice Care with an effective date of 11/30/14, and a revision date of 9/20/17 revealed the following: To ensure continuity of care between the center and the hospice provider, the Director of Nursing will designate a clinical member of the interdisciplinary team to work with the hospice including the following: Coordination of care plan process between the hospice and the center Communication with hospice representatives, hospice medical director and the patient/residence attending physician to ensure coordination of care. Ensure the following information is obtained from the Hospice: Most recent hospice plan of care A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] indicates that Resident #17 is currently receiving hospice care. Review of the current physician orders revealed that the resident has a current order for hospice services dated 5/14/21. A review of Resident #17's electronic record and the paper record revealed that there was no documentation in the record that would identify what disciplines or services this resident would be receiving from the hospice provider, additionally there was no hospice assessment, no hospice care plan and no hospice ongoing notes that would indicate what needs the resident had and what is actually being provided. An interview on 6/30/21 at 9:46 AM with Staff J, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) revealed that if there are any changes with the resident, they notify the hospice team as well as the physician. She reported that the hospice nurse probably comes in once a week but that she has not seen that person and maybe they come on a different shift. She reported the hospice notes should be in the resident chart. An interview on 6/30/21 at 2:35 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed she is not sure how often hospice comes in to provide services for Resident #17, and that she is not sure of what the residents hospice plan of care is. She reported that she did investigate and found there is no documentation in the record from hospice. She reported she is unsure as to why there is no hospice plan of care or any other hospice documentation in the record. A phone interview on 6/30/21 at 3:05 PM with Staff K, Hospice Registered Nurse (RN), reported that that there are 2 hospice nurses on this team and the other nurse works weekends and visits the facility to see this resident on the weekends.
