This survey cited 8 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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 interview and record review the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for a newly inserted pacemaker for 1 (Resident #204) of 3 residents reviewed for pacemakers. The findings included: Review of Resident #204's clinical record revealed an admission date of 4/26/23. Diagnoses included cardiac dysrhythmia (abnormal heart activity). Review of the hospital documentation revealed on 4/6/23 Resident #204 underwent a surgical insertion of a cardiac pacemaker (Device to help control the heartbeat). On 5/10/23 at 3:45 p.m., Resident #204 said he recently had a pacemaker implanted in his chest. The resident said no one told him about any special precautions for the pacemaker. The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] listed the code for the presence of a Pacemaker in the diagnoses. The physician's orders as of 5/10/23 did not include instructions on care of the cardiac pacemaker. The care plans initiated on 4/26/23 did not address the recently inserted pacemaker with appropriate interventions to meet the resident's identified needs related to the pacemaker. On 5/11/23 at 11:17 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff F said there is a checklist in the front of the paper chart for areas to be completed and verified. Review of the Clinical admission Checklist located in front of Resident #204's paper chart revealed N/A (not applicable was entered for If pacemaker-order to include follow up care. On 5/11/23 at 11:22 a.m., the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator said she is responsible to ensure the care plan for each resident is accurate. She said all residents with pacemakers should have a pacemaker care plan. She verified Resident #204 did not have a care plan for the pacemaker. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. Based on observation, record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to provide appropriate services to maintain highest level of range of motion for 1 (Resident #37) of 3 residents reviewed for limited range of motion and activities of daily living. The findings included: A review of the Clinical Services Policy, Support Activities of Daily living (ADL), effective 4/2022 stated residents should be provided with care, treatment, and services such that their activities of daily living do not diminish unless the circumstances of their clinical condition(s) demonstrate that diminishing ADLS are unavoidable. A review of the clinical record for Resident #37 revealed a Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed on 2/15/23 noted Resident #37 had functional limitation in Range of Motion (ROM) on one side of the upper extremities. The resident's cognition was severely impaired. The resident was rarely or never understood. Resident #37's diagnoses included Dementia, Contracture (deformity, rigidity of joint) of the right hand. The physician's orders dated 11/18/22 included the use of a Carrot (device to position the fingers away from the palm to protect from pressure, moisture and nail puncture) to the right hand every shift.

On 5/9/23 at 3:45 p.m., the Rehabilitation Director stated Resident #37 was not on a restorative program to maintain the current range of motion. The Director said not all residents were provided with restorative services, only those that tend to benefit and may continue to improve over time. On 5/10/23 at 1:37 p.m., CNA Staff I stated the Rehab Director brought a stuffed carrot to place in the resident's hand this morning. He stated he had never seen Resident #37 with a carrot before. On 5/10/23 at 2:53 p.m., the Rehab Director stated, I checked yesterday because I knew she was supposed to have one and realized she didn't have it.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, staff interviews and record review the facility failed to ensure 1 (Resident #1) of 5 residents reviewed with an indwelling foley catheter had a valid medical justification for continued use of an indwelling foley catheter (catheter placed in the bladder to drain urine). The facility failed to provide appropriate care and services to 2 (Resident #13 and #203) of 5 sampled residents with a urinary catheter to prevent urinary tract infections. The findings included: 1. On 5/8/23 at 10:18 a.m. Resident #1 was observed connected to an indwelling foley catheter. A review of Resident #1's medical record revealed Resident #1's initial admission was 5/3/22 with a readmission date of 4/27/23. Initial admission diagnoses were acute cystitis with hematuria, atherosclerotic heart disease, hyperlipidemia, anxiety disorder, syncope, and nonrheumatic aortic stenosis. The comprehensive nursing progress note dated 2/7/23 noted Resident #1 as continent of bowel and bladder. A hospital transfer form dated 4/21/22 stated Resident #1 was sent to the emergency room for an evaluation related to a fall. Resident #1 was alert, oriented, and able to follow commands. The functional status section noted Resident #1 did not have an indwelling foley catheter but needed assistance with toileting and Resident #1 was incontinent of the bladder only. The nursing comprehensive note dated 4/28/23 said Resident #1 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] from the hospital after a fall resulting in a hematoma to her head. The progress note further said Resident #1 was alert and oriented times 3, vital signs were stable, and continent of bowel. The nursing comprehensive note dated 4/30/23 noted Resident #1 was alert and oriented, able to express her needs, and had a pleasant affect. Resident #1 had no complaints of pain and no signs and symptoms of distress. A Physician's order dated 4/28/23 for catheter care for indwelling catheter care every shift and monitoring for redness, irritation, swelling, and sign and symptoms of urinary tract infection was noted. A Physician's progress note dated 4/28/23 at 12:43 p.m. noted the chief complaint as transition of care encounter for readmission to the nursing home on 4/27/23. A review of the physician's progress note revealed no documentation of Resident #1's indwelling foley catheter or a justification for the continued use of the indwelling foley catheter. The Prevention of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection Policy #CS-50-12, dated 1/2009 and last revised 7/2015, stated the purpose of these guidelines was to reduce the risk of urinary tract infection associated with the use of a catheter. Section A said the utilization of a urinary catheter when a resident's clinical condition demonstrated a need, the catheter would be left in place only as long as needed. A catheter could be used for residents with chronic urinary retention or bladder outlet obstruction, to assist in healing a stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcer in incontinent residents, or to improve comfort for end-of-life care if needed.
