A Side Rail Assessment Form dated 11/09/24, documented the use of bilateral side-rail use for Resident #17. An observation on 12/02/24 at 11:20 AM revealed Resident #17 in a low bed with bilateral quarter rails noted and in use. Additional observations throughout the survey on 12/03/24 through 12/05/24, while passing by the resident's room, revealed the bed side rails in an upright position and in use. Review of the current care plans revealed no documentation of care plans that included the use of the bed side rails. During a side-by-side review of the record and interview on 12/05/24 at 12:23 PM, when asked if the use of bed side rails should be care planned, Staff C, MDS Coordinator, stated yes and explained that she was new at the facility and had noted an inconsistency in the care plans. The MDS Coordinator stated she was going to start adding the bed side rail use to the ADL (activities of daily living) care plans, as appropriate. The MDS Coordinator agreed with the failure to include the use of bed side rails in the care plans for Resident #17. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a care plan for 2 of 17 sampled residents (Resident #58 related to an actual fall and Resident #17 for use of bed rails). The findings included: 1) Resident #58 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Falls, General weakness, Hypertension, and Rhabdomylosis (a breakdown of skeletal muscle). Record review revealed Resident #58 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 5 on the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE]. This indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment. Further record review revealed on 10/05/24, the resident sustained a fall when he was walking to the bathroom, felt dizzy and fell on his side. A review of the resident's care plans revealed a care plan with a start date of 01/09/24 for potential for significant injury related to fall (edited 10/07/24). Approaches included: redirect prn (as needed) (created on 10/07/24) and keep call light and personal items within his reach (edited 10/07/24). Existing approaches included, remind to observe safety at all times (created on 07/08/24) and anticipate and meet his needs (created 01/09/24). On 10/29/24 the resident sustained another fall from the left side of the bed at 5:49 AM. He was found in the right lateral position, with bilateral upper extremities extended slightly forward per record review. A progress note written by the Director of Nursing (DON) dated 10/29/24 revealed the DON was called to room by nurse, resident c/o (complained of) mild pain to left thumb and swelling. An x-ray of the left hand was ordered and the results were dislocation of the distal phalanx of the thumb. There may be a fracture through the base of the distal phalanx as well. Consider repeat radiographs following reduction. The resident was sent to an orthopedic doctor on 10/31/24 for left thumb pain and swelling post injury. The orthopedic notes stated Unable to do a closed reduction under local anesthesia. Short arm splint applied.

The findings included: Review of the policy titled, Foley Catheter Care and Maintenance revised 05/19/22, documented in part, Procedures: Foley (urinary drainage device) Catheter Maintenance . 4. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, then apply gloves. 5. Using mild soap and water, or approved cleaner, clean your genital area. 8. Clean your urethra (urinary opening), which is where the catheter enters your body. 9. Clean the catheter from where it enters your body and then down, away from your body. Review of the record revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The record revealed the resident had an urinary catheter related to bladder obstruction. Review of the current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], documented the resident was cognitively impaired with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 4, on a 0 to 15 scale, indicating severe cognitive impairment. This MDS also documented the resident was totally dependent upon staff for toileting and that the resident had an indwelling urinary catheter. Review of the current care plan initiated on 09/18/23 documented Resident #1 had the potential for complications related to the use of an indwelling catheter. This care plan was updated with a hand-written note that the resident was colonized with the bacteria E. Coli (Escherichia Coli, part of the normal human intestinal flora, but should not be part of the urinary system when proper care is provided). An observation on 12/02/24 at 12:34 PM revealed Resident #1 in bed with an Urinary catheter tubing noted with bedside drainage. An observation of personal care for Resident #1 was made on 12/04/24 beginning at 9:36 AM, with Staff E, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). The CNA was asked to do the personal care she would normally complete for Resident #1. The CNA gathered her supplies and donned gloves without performing any type of hand hygiene. The CNA applied soap to the cloth and cleaned the urinary catheter tubing, then wiped off the resident's left groin, then continued to clean the catheter tubing. The CNA rinsed and dried the tubing, checked to see if the resident had a bowel movement, which he had not, and completed her task by covering the resident. The CNA failed to complete any personal (peri) care for Resident #1. When asked if she was to provide peri-care as well, the CNA stated, Was I supposed to? When asked if she had done any type of personal care for Resident #1 that morning, the CNA stated, No this is my first round with him. When asked if she completed any type of hand hygiene prior to donning her gloves, the CNA confirmed she had not.

She stated the Dietician comes once a week and does the initial and annual assessments and she does the quarterly assessments. She stated the dietician looks over her assessments and she calls and emails him when she has a question but stated she does not think he signs off on the assessment after he looks at them. She stated the Dietician had given her a formula to use for nutritional needs for the residents. She has been doing the quarterly assessments for years. An interview was conducted with the Dietician on 12/04/24 at 1:00 PM. He stated he has been the Dietician at this facility for approximately 28 years. He comes into the facility once a week on Wednesday. He does breakfast rounds. When new admissions come in, the CDM calls him or texts him. He does the initial, annual and quarterly nutritional assessments on the residents with tube feedings, dialysis and weight loss. The CDM does the majority of the other quarterly assessments. She will text him of a weight loss or gain. He decides who will be on weekly weights. The CDM does the quarterly care plans and he does the annual and initial care plans. In a subsequent interview with the Dietician on 12/04/24 at 2:14 PM he stated he did not realize that the CDM should not do the quarterly assessments.

F 0803 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident. Based on observation, menu review, and interview, the facility failed to follow their approved menu for 1 of 2 meals observed, as evidenced by the failure to prepare all foods on the lunch menu on 12/04/24, and substituted with foods not on the menu, affecting sampled Residents #13 and #2, with the potential of affecting 4 of 56 residents who consume food. The findings included: Review of the approved lunch menu for 12/04/24 documented, in part, the provision of an alternate vegetable of corn on the cob, the mechanical soft vegetable of cooked carrots, and the alternate mechanical soft vegetable of lima beans. An observation of the posted lunch meal for 12/04/24 docmented the meat as BBQ ribs with a side of baked beans. The alternate meal was listed as fried fish with corn on the cob. During an observation of the lunch meal service on 12/04/24 beginning at 11:20 AM, Staff G, lead cook for the day, placed the prepared food on the steam table, to include in part, chicken thighs, green beans, pureed chicken, and pureed green beans. After completion of the the food temperatures at 11:35 AM, when shown the approved menu and asked about the documented corn on the cob, carrots, and lima beans, the cook stated those items had not been prepared, further stating, they (the residents) usually like the green beans instead of the carrots. The cook had no explanation for the lack of corn on the cob or lima beans. When asked about the chicken, the cook stated some of the residents liked the chicken instead of the fish. The cook also confirmed she did not have any ground or pureed fish for the alternate meals. During an interview on 12/04/24 at 12:20 PM, the Kitchen Manager/Certified Dietary Manager (CDM), was asked about the missing vegetables. The CDM stated she believed there was corn on the cob in the freezer but had no explanation as to why it wasn't cooked. The CDM confirmed there were no carrots or lima beans, but again had no explanation. Review of the Resident Dislikes List documented four of the 56 residents who consume food orally, had pork listed as a disliked item. The main entree for the 12/04/24 lunch meal was pork BBQ ribs. The fried fish was served to Resident #13, who disliked pork, and the other three residents who did not like pork received chicken, including Resident #2. During an interview on 12/04/24 at 12:25 PM, Resident #13 stated the fish was good. When asked about the alternate vegetable, she stated she would have enjoyed the corn on the cob. During an interview on 12/04/24 at 3:56 PM, the CDM confirmed the corn on the cob and carrots were missed during the lunch meal that day. The CDM stated they did not have lima beans, and further stated the mechanical soft alternate vegetable should have been corn, since the alternate vegetable was corn on the cob, and the alternate pureed vegetable should have also been corn. During an interview on 12/05/24 at 9:08 AM, Resident #2 confirmed he had chicken the previous day for lunch, and further stated he was not told what the alternate meal was. Resident #2 had a documented dislike of pork. The resident further confirmed he liked but was not offered the fried fish, the alternate that was documented on the menu.

Staff G, lead cook for the day, placed the prepared foods into the steam table and took the food temperatures. When asked about fried fish, the cook stated it would be fried a little later, as the resident who requested it was served on the last cart. At about 12:00 PM, Staff H, assistant cook for the day, fried three pieces of fish and placed them on the steam table. Staff failed to obtain a final temperature of the fried fish upon taking it out of the fryer. At 12:14 PM, Staff G, lead cook, took one of the three pieces of cooked fish from the steam table and placed it on a plate to put on the lunch tray of Resident #13. As kitchen staff were preparing to place plates on the tray to load onto the food cart, a request to obtain the temperature of the fish was made by the surveyor. The fried fish temperature was 125 degrees F. The lead cook told the assisting cook to fry the fish longer. After further cooking and surveyor intervention the temperature was 164 degrees F. During an interview on 12/04/24 at 12:20 PM the Kitchen Manager/Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) agreed staff failed to properly temp the fried fish upon completion of cooking, and failed to hold the cooked fish at a safe temperature.
