On 8/13/24 at 3:10 p.m., in a joint interview Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff C and Registered Nurse (RN) Staff L said they were aware of the foul smell of urine in Resident #22's room. They said the facility tried multiple interventions such as daily baths, testing for urinary tract infection, cleaning the room, and washing with vinegar but nothing improved the foul smell of urine. Staff C and Staff L said Resident #22 was admitted with the urine collection system in February 2024 and the room had the foul urine smell ever since. They said the Administrator and the Director of Nursing (DON) were aware of the issue.

She also wipes the tubing with alcohol and allows the canister to air dry in a basin in the resident's shower. Staff M said the urine smell is so strong, she has to hold her breath. She has to send the resident's bedding and reusable pad to be laundered at least three times a week and sometimes daily. She reported it to the nurse. On 8/14/24 at 3:30 p.m., in an interview the DON said she was aware of the urine odor in Resident #22's room.

She said when she reviewed Resident #180's medical record she was unable to find Resident #180's Hospice Care Plan which would let her know what care she needed to provide for Resident #180. She said when she was unable to find Resident #180's Hospice Plan of Care she called the main office, they told her she should ask Resident #180's nurse what they needed her to do for Resident #180 today. She said she used each Hospice resident's Hospice Plan of Care to determine what care she needed to provide to the resident, so there is not a duplication of care between the Hospice aid and the facility staff. On 8/13/24 at 1:46 p.m., in an interview with Staff F, Resident #180's nurse said Resident #180 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] under Hospice services. She said Hospice provided a Hospice Plan of Care for each resident which they keep in the resident's medical record. She said the Hospice Plan of Care was used to coordinate the care between Hospice staff and facility staff to ensure there was no duplication of care and the Hospice resident received the best care possible. She confirmed after reviewing Resident #180's medical record, Resident #180's Hospice Care Plan was not in her medical record as required. On 8/13/24 at 1:59 p.m., in an interview with the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator, she confirmed Resident #180 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] under Hospice care. She said she did not do a full comprehensive plan of care until day 21 after a resident was admitted to the facility, and Resident #180's comprehensive care has not been completed as of today. She confirmed Resident 180's Baseline Care Plan did not identify services that Hospice would provide in order to coordinate care between the facility and Hospice. She said Hospice was required to put their plan of care in each Hospice resident's medical record when a resident has been admitted to Hospice services to ensure coordination of care between Hospice and the facility staff. The MDS Coordinator reviewed Resident's 180's medical record and confirmed it did not contain the required Hospice Plan of Care and/or Hospice staff visit weekly documentation of the care they provided Resident #180 since her admission to the facility 7/24/24. On 8/15/24 at 11:00 a.m., in an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), she said Hospice did not provide the facility with Resident #180's Hospice Plan of Care which reflected the resident and family goals with interventions addressing the patient's needs, services to be provided by Hospice, and problems identified by the Hospice Interdisciplinary Group as noted in the Hospice contract.
