and neglect by anybody.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on observation, review of the facility's abuse and neglect policy and procedure, record review, and
staff interview, the facility failed to protect one (Resident #19) of one sampled vulnerable resident with
dementia from neglect by failing to provide supervision, to ensure the necessary care and services were
provided.
The findings included:
The facility policy N-1265, Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation and Misappropriation (revised 11/28/17) specified, It
is inherent in the nature and dignity of each resident at the center that he/she be afforded basic human
rights, including the right to be free from abuse, neglect, mistreatment and exploitation .neglect is the failure
of the center, it's employees or service providers to provide goods and services to a resident that are
necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish, or emotional distress.
A review of the clinical record for Resident #19 documented a care plan indicating Resident #19 had an
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) self-care performance deficit due to confusion and dementia.
The care plan interventions noted Resident #19 required extensive assistance of 1 for bathing, dressing,
and toileting.
The care plan also documented Resident #19 had alteration in communication related to severe dementia,
confusion/delusions and his needs must be anticipated by staff.
On 8/10/21 at 9:41 a.m., Resident #19 was observed in his room standing next to his bed eating breakfast
with his fingers. The linen on the bed was soaked with urine and the room had a pungent odor of urine.
Resident #19 had a hospital gown tied around his neck and hanging down his chest. The incontinent brief
was overly saturated with urine and feces and was pulling down to the resident's knees.
Resident #19's fingernails extended approximately ½ inch from the base with dark brown substance
underneath. He had facial hair growth of approximately three days. He was not able to answer questions.
On 8/10/21 at 12:35 p.m., in a second observation Resident #19 was observed lying face down across the
head of the bed with his toes touching the floor. The resident was not dressed, he was shivering, and the
incontinent brief remained oversaturated with urine and feces.

since she did not get out of bed.
Residents Affected - Few
On 8/10/21 at 11:40 a.m., observed Resident #63 laying in her bed with her head slightly elevated. Her hair
was pulled up on top her head, looked stringy and unkempt. The Resident was alert, she was dressed in
hospital gown and covered with a sheet.
A review of Resident #63's medical record, showed the resident was scheduled for bathing or showering
twice a week on Tuesday and Friday. The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Kardex (area where care need
is described), recorded the resident preferred bed baths and required assist of 1 staff member for the task.
Review of Resident #63's documented bathing schedule recorded in the prior 28 days the resident received
2 bed baths (7/29/21 and 8/3/21) and a shower on 8/7/21 and 8/8/21.
On 8/11/21 at 10:50 a.m., in interview, the LPN South Unit Manager Staff T said she reviewed the CNA
documentation for the prior 28 days and verified the lack of documentation Resident #63 received a shower
or bed bath as scheduled twice a week. LPN Staff T said the resident did not like showers so she should
have received bed baths which would include washing her hair.
Based on observation, record review, staff and resident interviews, the facility failed to provide the
necessary care and services to maintain grooming and personal hygiene for 3 (Resident #19, #42 and #63)
of 17 sampled residents.
The findings included:
1. A review of the clinical record for Resident #19 documented a care plan indicating Resident #19 had an
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) self-care performance deficit due to confusion and dementia.
The care plan interventions noted Resident #19 required extensive assistance of 1 for bathing, dressing,

confusion/delusions and his needs must be anticipated by staff.
On 8/10/21 at 9:41 a.m., Resident #19 was observed in his room standing next to his bed eating breakfast
with his fingers. The linen on the bed was soaked with urine and the room had a pungent odor of urine.
Resident #19 had a hospital gown tied around his neck and hanging down his chest. The incontinent brief

the trapeze bar (used to help a person reposition in bed). One urinal was approximately halfway filled with
urine. Resident #42 said no one would come to empty them when he put the call light on. Resident #42 said

have you and walk out.
Staff L said she had worked at the facility a long time and that was what the other CNAs did. Staff L said
when she was assigned the split assignment, and Resident #42 needed something she would do it for him.
Staff L said many of the agency CNAs just walked right out of the room, they didn't want to mess with him if
they were not assigned to him.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on record review, facility policy review, and staff and resident interviews, the facility failed to have
documentation of a fall investigation to ensure adequate preventive interventions for 1 (Resident #5) of 2
residents reviewed for falls.
The findings included:
Review of the facility policy and procedure, Fall Management, revised 7/29/19 which stated, . A fall refers to
unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor, or other lower level, but not as a result of an
overwhelming external force (e.g., [for example] resident pushes another resident). An episode where a
resident lost his/her balance and would have fallen, if not for another person or if her or she had not caught
him/herself, is considered a fall.
On 8/9/21, at 9:35 a.m., Resident #5 was observed in a wheelchair by her bed. The bed was not in the
lowest position.
At the time of the observation, Resident #66 (Resident #5's roommate) said Resident #5 sustained a fall
the evening before. She said, I put on my call bell when I saw her falling. No one came so I also put on her
call bell. Then when still no one came to help her, I went to the hall and got the nurse.
Resident #5 confirmed during the roommate's interview she fell the evening before.
On 8/9/21 clinical record review showed Resident #5 had an admission date of 4/30/21, with diagnosis
including generalized muscle weakness and lack of coordination.
Resident #5's care plan for fall showed an update on 5/6/21 to include interventions for actual fall.

was assigned to Resident #5 on 8/8/21 from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. LPN Staff G said, Around 8:00 p.m.,
Resident #66 alerted me that Resident #5 was falling out of her bed. I went to the room and saw Resident
#5 off the bed with her head, arm, and shoulder still on the bed. Since she wasn't fully off the bed, I did not
consider it a fall.
LPN Staff G confirmed Resident #5 was in an unsafe position and unable to get herself back into bed. She
said she was unable to assist her alone and called for a CNA to help return Resident #5 back to bed.
LPN Staff G said, I work for the agency, but I don't know which CNA assisted me. I don't think it was the
CNA assigned to Resident #5.
LPN Staff G said, Now that I think about it, I guess it was a fall and I should have reported it. I will in the
future. I did not pass on the information to the oncoming nurse the next morning.
On 8/11/21 at 1:56 p.m., in an interview Resident #66 confirmed Resident #5 fell out of bed on Sunday
(8/8/21) evening and was fully on the floor. Resident #66 said, She waited so long for help hanging off the
bed that she slid fully to the floor.
On 8/12/21, at 9:45 a.m., in an interview Unit Manager LPN Staff I said, As soon as I heard that there might
have been a fall, I went to speak with Resident #66 who told me that Resident #5 had a fall on Sunday
(8/8/21) evening. Resident #66 is alert and with it. She knows what is going on. I started an investigation. I
spoke to the nurse assigned and the CNA. The Director of Nursing (DON) will determine if it was a fall or
not.
On 8/12/21, at 11:04 a.m., in an interview the DON said, I heard about the incident but did not consider it a
fall after speaking to the nurse assigned. If she had fallen, she would have called her son, and he would
have called me.
On 8/12/21 review of Resident #5's medical record revealed no documentation of the incident of 8/8/21.
On 8/12/21, at 2:00 p.m., the DON and Unit manager LPN Staff I confirmed they did not have any
additional nursing documentation regarding the incident.

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, record review, resident and staff interview, the facility failed to maintain a suprapubic catheter
in a safe and sanitary manner or notify the physician of symptoms of a suspected urinary tract infection
(UTI) for 1(Resident #50) of 1 resident sampled with an indwelling catheter.
The findings included:
A review of the clinical record for Resident #50 revealed hospital admission on [DATE] through 6/17/21, with
a diagnosis of catheter associated urinary tract infection. The record indicated Resident #50 was a
paraplegic (paralysis of the lower part of the body).
The Clinical record showed a care plan for a suprapubic catheter (catheter inserted through the abdomen
into the bladder), with the goal the resident would have no sign or symptoms of a UTI. The interventions
were to monitor for signs or symptoms of discomfort and to notify the physician, suprapubic catheter care
as ordered, and monitor for pain or discomfort.
On 8/9/21 at 9:33 a.m., and 8/10/21 at 2:39 p.m., Resident #50 was observed in his room in bed. The
catheter tubing was on the floor.
**Photographic Evidence Obtained**
On 8/11/21 at 1:16 p.m., in an interview the South Unit Manager, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff T
said Resident #50 cared for his own suprapubic catheter and would change it himself. LPN Staff T said
sometimes the resident would throw it on the floor.
On 8/12/21 at 10:02 a.m., during an observation, Resident #50's catheter drainage bag was on the floor
and was full of urine.
On 8/12/21 at 10:03 a.m., in an interview Resident #50 said he went to the doctor every month to have his
suprapubic catheter changed. Resident #50 said, I'm paralyzed from the waist down and I can't move too
good.
Resident #50 said he did not touch the catheter drainage bag and when the staff emptied it, they hung it
back on the bed frame. Resident #50 said he did not put the drainage bag on the floor.
Resident #50 said he's had the suprapubic catheter for a long time and has been telling the staff for several
days of a burning in his bladder and was certain it was a urinary tract infection.
On 8/12/21 at 10:37 a.m., in an interview LPN Staff M said the resident put the drainage bag on the floor.
Staff M declined to address the urinary catheter drainage bag stored on the floor and continued to walk
down the hall.
On 8/12/21 at 11:18 a.m., in an interview, the South Unit Manager LPN Staff T said she was aware
Resident #50 has been complaining of bladder pain for a few days and thought he had a urinary tract
infection (UTI). Staff T said she had called the physician but was not able to reach him.
